OOC Info The Common Room

Evening everyone. I'm Ritz, and new in Zeltiva. Forgive me if I may be slow. Still learning about how things work. ^_^;

We have a whole new quarter to our city for the Denvali refugees, and any who worship Viratas can find a shrine to him there too: Denvali Quarter

Remember, if there are threads you vitally need this season, or job threads, feel free to get placeholders up in the city so you can carry on writing them into next season.

There are two conditions with placeholders though:

• They get attended to as priority so they're not left lying around empty.
• Though they are placeholders, I require them to have a timestamp ready regardless, and a short sentence or description in the info box about what the placeholder is. I don't want to see twenty undated placeholders with no purpose - 'cause that's just ugly right

[Paragon]

Winter is sooo close! Once your date hits 1st of December, you must timestamp threads "Day" of Winter, 512 AV, and threads can no longer be made in Fall. You have a couple of hours to make described and timestamped placeholders if you haven't hit midnight yet where you are. To reiterate, placeholders MUST have a timestamp, and a sentence or title describing what they will involve. A week into season I will delete placeholders that simply say placeholder with no info. They're unnecessary. Expect a Winter Calendar and perhaps some Winter thread goals within the next few days. I will also be getting the Winter Ball up, which is purely a social event this year where you get the opportunity to wear tuxedos and nice dresses and socialise with Zeltiva's elite! My Office is almost clear, so we'll be working through all the stacked up Zeliva grades over the coming weeks - thanks so much with your patience with those. There is also an exciting event happening this season, more info coming soon, and rumour has it our very own Founder Liminal may be running an exciting adventure for a couple of lucky players. Those who arrived in Zeltiva a less than a few weeks ago may forego living expenses on the proviso they get employment ASAP upon season change tonight (remember, employment requests in the Storyteller Guide thread, not in PM to me). If you believe you can forego living expenses, PLEASE PM me beforehand. I need to know if you're doing so, otherwise I'll assume you're flaunting the rules. I will deal with them on a case by case basis. Otherwise, living expenses MUST be deducted visibly from ledgers ASAP. Not in a weeks time while you write other threads. This is your FIRST priority when you log onto your character from tomorrow onwards. I will be witholding grades if you haven't deducted living expenses correctly. As I said, nearly all Zeltivan residents will be paying 135 GM, or the "Common" lifestyle, as they live in general modesty in cottages rather than tents. Students may also post class and research based evidence in the Storyteller Guide and Requests thread to receive their respective Certificates of Completion - qualifications usable across many of Sylira's Cities!

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT There have been questions, and rumours, but here's the official line on the supposed "timelock" of the Regional Quest: Players will dock back in Sunberth on the 10th of Winter, and so are free to thread from that date onward... ON THE CONDITION that outcomes of the Regional Quest in Sahova are NOT discussed IC until the outcomes unfold in real time. I hope that makes sense. So it's sort of a time lock mentally, but not physically XD Happy threading guys!

Welcome to Winter, Zeltiva! Please read the two posts above, relating to living expenses, jobs, and the Regional Quest, as they contain important info. Remember to register your characters for the Winter season, even if you did so for Fall already. Also, check out the Calendar and Challenges. There are more dates to be added to the calendar in due course, and the challenges are fun things you can incorporate into threads for status point rewards, and an awesome Zeltiva medal if you can do them all!

Wow, that was terrible.... I meant to post this in here earlier, not the calender thread. My apologies!

Well looks like I'm gonna have an insane winter, thanks to Papa and Iggy! Looking forward to these challenges nonetheless, any Zeltivans wanna work together to complete them feel.free to PM me.

Now to avoid me spamming or trolling this thread, hopefully I'm not doing so as I am quite unfamiliar with those, I myself can annouce something. Those who are paticipants in my small funeral can expect pm's soon as I will set up the thread today. I'll be doing a sort of behind the scenes thing to make the thread flow peacefully. May we all say goodbye to a good dog, and dear friend, in his peaceful rest.

Wage requests all sorted, apart from two which are awaiting responses from PMs due to lack of evidence, or lack of official job. I've PMd you a copy of the wage details I posted in your Storyteller Secret threads.

[Paragon]

Hi Zeltivans, I'm here to announce two threads for you guys to be jumping into! First off, our very own Founder and creator of Zeltiva Liminal has a special speech for you all to attend: A Charmed Life. This is no simple speech I can assure you, Liminal has an epic quest and plenty of shocking secrets and revelations up his sleeves... Secondly, the annual Winter Ball is up, complete with a free black or white masque. This isn't a quest, I've simply set the scene, so feel free to jump right in and have some social fun. I may post as Lord of Council once the thread gets going. Have fun!

[Ricky Maze]

Oh wait, Its open for all? i always assumed it was for the university students.

Edit: Oh wait. Nevermind! (Did a little reading. )
