Roleplay Updates:
Changes submitted by Athelois

After a lot of deliberation regarding organisation properties that tend to favour bars (The Nook, The Willow, & The Whimsy) and also, unfortunately, tend to change hands frequently due to line count requirements & the general ebb and flow of community engagement/wants for RP, I have decided to open these regions to what will be called “Community Owned” regions. What community owned regions means for these regions is that anyone can run them for any amount of time, but will not be allowed to claim ownership of the regions nor make any interior edits unless it is for an event. The Willow & Whimsy will not be facing redecoration, but the Nook will be, so do not get too overly attached to how it looks.

If you have any questions, feel free to make a ticket!

World

With the completion of two noble estate clusters, World has had their hands full decorating the interior to get them ready for roleplay. There has also been an influx of events, keeping the department members busy.

• WaterDruppel: Worked on the interior of several noble estates, as well as the Ithanian gardens.
• SpunSugar: Picked out decoheads for Valentine’s Day, did event setup and mainstreet shop decoration.
• Bunemma: Worked on the interior of several noble estates.
• Patsie: Constructed a graveyard outside of Crookback’s walls.
