    Guild News 4.27.12


    Lovely Banner by: Chibisuke Chan

    General News

    Downtime

    As you may know, last week we experienced a period of Downtime. Regardless of what was said that happened as I know that many rumors were spread, it was simply a billing issue. If the site goes down in the future it might be a good idea to have some helpful places bookmarked you can go to, in order to find out what is going on. Here are a couple good places where you can possibly get in contact with a Moderator or Administrator. Thanks.

    Note: Due to Downtime, the Guild News schedule has been changed by a week. The News will still arrive 2 weeks after one another. Don't expect one next week, but one a week after that. The downtime kind of threw us off, so a small change was in order. Remember, the next Guild News will always be placed at the bottom of each one and will not change unless it is absolutely impossible to for some reason, in which you will be informed in the previous Guild News if such a thing happens. Again, Thanks.

    Is it Down, or just me?

    GM Interview


    For this installment of our newest feature:The GM interview, we have interviewed mmarage who is the GM for many active RP's in the Free section. Among his many RP's are Watchers in the Dark which has been going on for almost a year now and logs in at over 8,500 posts and is the third highest post count in the Free IC section and is still going strong. When the Seagulls Cry another successful RP has been running for 6 months and is just as active. There must be something in this GM's laid back attitude that pulls out such success from his RP's and RPers. We really appreciate all the time that the GM's put into these interviews. Want to re-read one of these great interviews? They are all put into this thread for easy locating.

    We are actively looking for GM's to interview so if you know of one you'd love to see interviewed please PM their name to
    Lillian Thorne.

    Role Playing Discussion

    Interesting discussions are always going on, come join in and chat about our mutual hobby


    Maid Marianne asks how often, if at all, you play as characters who are the opposite gender to you, why you might do this and which gender you prefer to roleplay as.

    Featured Galleries


    RPG has a lovely Gallery section that doesn’t see enough encouragement and attention. If you have some scribbles lying around or some art you’d like to share start up a gallery and show people what you can do outside of an RP! While you are there take a moment to offer some encouragement and insight in another user's gallery, maybe they will return the favor. If you'd like your gallery to be featured be sure to send a PM to either Lillian Thorne or Guru.


    Sil has a small selection of her work up in her gallery that is well worth taking the time to look at. Some of her newer works are particularity breathtaking. Take a moment to encourage her so that we might see some more of what she has to offer.

    Writing Gallery: 8's Various Writings

    8 has an interesting gallery up with a little bit of prose and some poetry. The prose is done very interestingly in that he has chosen a piece of art and writing a story for it which is then followed by some writer comments. This bot would love to see more of this format in this gallery. 8 is also actively seeking critiques so feel free to offer some constructive comments while you are there.

    Extra: Also of note, Simply_Deamon19 has put up a thread in the shop section wherein he is seeking challenges to help him push his skills in wielding Gimp. If you feel so inclined, put up a request and see what he does with it.



    Official Contest

    Don’t forget about RPG’s Official Monthly contests Artists of the Month and Writer of the Month, the prize is a nifty colored user title. The contestants work really hard and put out some outstanding work. Stop by and check it out and while you are there don’t forget to Vote and Comment on the Contest entries, the more votes and comments, the more satisfying the victory is! We could always use more people. If you want to get involved and send in an entry, please see the Contest section of the site. Remember the more, the merrier!

    This month, we have a very special contest going on! The AOTM and WOTM managers have teamed up to present a combined contest. The Artists and writers have paired up and have presented some amazing collaborative works about Childhood. The Voting Thread is up and the entries are wonderful. Go take a peek and cast your vote.
