Welcome to Forest Spirit! We have opened our doors to new and old members and recreated the site! We have a brand new plot with the same old Forest Spirit that everyone loves. There are a few changes and new things to take note of, so here's a pretty letter to tell you whats up!
Relaxed Rules and Character Creation
Character creation is no longer a process where characters have to be accepted. Once you have filled in at least the personality and appearance of your character you are good to go. This concept ties in with you easy-going and anything-goes attitude, we have very few rules and so it's not hard to stick to them.
Should we find this is becoming a problem, that people are not filling in their profiles or that they are breaking the rules we will have to start accepting and approving characters. So just make sure you have a sentence or two in the personality and appearance section and you are good to go.
The Census
I have a question for you guys! Seen as we are not accepting characters it would be hard to update the census. So we have three options:
one. We remove the census completely.
two. We have monthly 'census' updates that also act as activity checks.
three. Once your character is created you reply to a thread in the maintenance board asking to be added to the census.
Vote up top for your choice.
The Courts
We have four courts who rule over specific sections of the land, this does not mean that individual groups no longer exist. They are now called factions and they tend to fall beneath a specific court. You do not have to chose what court your character belongs to right away, as changing courts can only be done with a court token from the shop!
Our courts will need kings and queens in order to restore balance to the world, as you can see from the season description there is no balance! As soon as we reach a certain number of members we will start having auditions for leaders of courts and whatnot. We may even have a competition or two to throw some factions in the mix as well.
Bugs
As we are only just opening we do have some bugs around the forum. Areas where things do not look the greatest and things I may have forgotten to do...etc. Please let me know if there's anything that looks absolutely horrible or requires a bit of touch up or that I may have simply forgotten to do. You can either reply to this thread or post in this board. Feel free to make suggestions and throw ideas our way.
Staff Auditions
No ship can be run by the captain alone, they need a great crew to really get where they need to go. Staff auditions will be put up soon, members who are active and involved in the site will be the first to be considered. So be active and involved if you are interested in joining the staff team. This is just a little bit of a heads up.
Word of the Month: Archaic
Reply to this thread with links to all the threads where you use the word of the month! The person who uses the word the most times wins 100 Spirit Emeralds.
Gift code!
In order to receive the gift code you need to do the following:
Go to your profile, click groups at the top. You will see a list of the forum groups. Add your character accounts to the group Characters. Once you have done all of that click the link below.
Do not add your OOC accounts to this group or it will stop them from gaining gifts in the future. Adding your characters to the wrong group is an offense that may make me reconsider the no acceptance thing. I'm trusting everyone with this.
