Hello everyone! Sorry for the radio silence the last few weeks, life sort of caught up on a lot of us. We don’t intend to leave the sight to wither away, and we’ll be better about posting updates! Major updates like this will probably be monthly, but weekly mini updates will be manageable. Friday might not be the best day to do them, but we’ll figure out a rhythm once we get the updates going. 8)

Beginner's Guide to Whazzit
We've got @pipster 's beautifully written post as well as Ara's beginner's guide to Whazzit. Maybe it'd be helpful if we had an entire tab dedicated to "Whazzit 101" or "what to do once you join". What are some things that need to be explained?
Speedbondings/Chases
Definitely a concept that should come back. I personally like the idea of holding a full regular bonding of each first before holding speedbondings, and chases can come whenever shinies are bonded out. What do you guys think?
Creature Creation
Though we won't be voting a shiny in for a few months, creature creation being open does not harm anyone. Because of this, creature creation will be open! Please mark which of your ideas are complete versus incomplete. Remember to try to be open to feedback, as these shinies can potentially be ones that everyone wants, too!
Fate
Fate would be an account that essentially plays the PIF doing bizarre things in bizarre situations. Is this something that people are interested in?
And the bigger news.
December in Whazzit
Whazzitmas is very much going to be an event! Sit tight and wait for things to happen, because they are certainly happening. ;)
In addition to Whazzitmas, we would like to host a simple Whazzitmas event where anyone that posts ten times, outside of a chase or a bonding will get a free Major Mutation Voucher to use with any shiny that you purchase in the future! Anyone that finishes five posts will get a Notable Mutation Voucher. You are allowed to use posts with other people, in self-threads, in multiple different threads, whatever you like! Please keep track of these posts and mark them (Whazzitmas event post 1, 2, etc.) and then post links for them in a thread that I’ll set up this weekend to get your voucher!
edit - Note, only posts made after this news post count towards the event. :)
Going forward, we’d like to hold some sort of event every month or every other month. Plots? Holidays? Anyone have any other ideas? More specific ones than this are certainly welcome!
Thanks for being patient with us. Please, please feel free to voice any concerns that you have now and any time.
Info/Updates
- A theme is currently being worked on so that we’ll have some options that are more ~Whazzit~ for us to use!
- The Rules are being updated from what we discussed and should be mostly updated. The only policy we need to decide on is whether OOC accounts will go through some sort of activity check process as well (if all IC accounts are deleted, do these get deleted?) The shiny database has a few piece of information that need clarification and some editing, that we'll get through. If you have any special request with these (ie. clarifying number of pups for 'Daka, eye colors for Whers), please post here or PM myself or Ara!
- Bonding Application will probably be mostly the same but fixed up. If you have any dire changes that you'd like to them, please let us know. Otherwise we'll probably just update the information that we think would work best.
Other Stuff
- Ranks for accounts, do we want to keep them the same?
- Badges, it was brought up that people want to reintroduce badges?
- A deadline board will be up shortly. :)
