For all those wanting to keep a track of character type things, we have the journal* subforum in each game. You're allowed one thread per character and it's up to you what you put in there! Go forth and have fun exploring!

*It may not be called journals in every game - it was just what it was called in Dublin.

Hey guys just to let you know a few things are gonna be moving about, working with our soft opening team and what we think are gonna work best for our board :D

Hey everyone! Just as an opening day love fest we've decided to increase av sizes to 225x325! Who doesn't love bigger avs :D

Good morning lovely people! Just a heads up we're going off line for about two hours at approx. 10AM London time. Its just some general housekeeping because you've all been so amazing and we wanna make it a bit tidier for you :D

So sorry this has taken a little longer than we thought, but some of the behind the scenes stuff took a little longer than we anticipated!

Just to update you on a few of the changes that we've been working on. We've been streamlining all the RP games so that our post headers look a little more slick. With that in mind all game avatars are now 300x200. This is an automatic update but if you wish to alter them a little to look a little less stretched we recommend giving that a go :)

Our nav bars have been updated as well to hopefully give them a more user friendly look both in the game and board wide. The whole board has just been given a little freshness from the feedback we've gotten from everyone. Don't forget as well that the avatar sizes for general use are 225x325 as well!

Thanks for your patience! We love you all.

We just created a new section called ‘Court Entertainment’! This is going to be the place to talk about TV or movies while you watch them. Posts here don’t count towards your post count, so talk away!

Sorry about that! Accidentally hit some board issues that cut us down but we're all back up now and slowly getting everything back in order!

Just to clear this up you can reserve two AI's at any one time in a game! It's been added to the general rules as well for everyone to see.

A reminder to everyone that we are approaching two weeks since our opening. As a heads up from the staff, we'd like to remind you that AI reservations last for one month, as written in our rules, and some reservations will be due to run out at this time. We'll be lenient for the next few weeks as we settle in, but a reminder to be careful and make sure your biographies for these AIs are submitted soon. You don't want to lose that face you've been dreaming about!

Just to let you all know that now within Court Entertainment we now have Court Theatre. All those wonderful films you've seen but want to squee about with everyone you can now start a thread and discuss! Just note that these threads will be full of spoilers so read at your own risk ;)

Prague, City of a Hundred Spires, a UNESCO monument and one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It is also the historical capital of Bohemia... It is time to get acquainted. Get to know it in person!

Currently there is a lot of work behind the scenes making some changes to how we'll be able to play our games! It's very exciting but whilst the work is going on there may be some noticeable errors. If that happens let us know so we can fix it, it'll be some trial and error. When we're further along we shall let you know what all the changes are!

From now one when you apply for a username change please feel free to use this form!

As we're closing in on the end of the month please check your AI reserves in each game and re-reserve where necessary or let us know if the reserves are no longer necessary. Thank you!

We are currently testing a new scheme layout and we need you our wonderful members to test it out for us before we roll it out! So have a look, let us know and we will fix what we can!

We're aware one link doesn't work (shh, secret) and that the poll images are gigantic.

So, we have some exciting news that we've been sitting on for a while now. As you may have noticed we implemented a new style of schemes a few weeks ago that will mean old schemes will slowly be phased out over the coming weeks and re-released in this style. There is a reason for this. These new schemes are all to make way for the RPG Hack that Imzadi/Chrissie has been working on porting over to us and updating for our use (with ellehwho/Ellen's help). We are so excited to streamline and innovate the way we roleplay. No more multiple accounts and easier access to your bios/retired characters! We're hoping that it will be ready to introduce you to at the end of September but we wanted you to be aware of the changes in the wind in case there are any little blips in the next few weeks.

To follow on from Mel's previous announcement may I please kindly ask everyone to start saving their RP images. As part of the hack you'll no longer need to hotlink your main RP image, you'll be able to upload them to a database. Once the hack goes live the whole profile format will be taken away, so save now or find some new images in anticipation. The size will still be 300x200!

As you know a lot of work has been going on behind the scenes! Next Saturday (sep 9th) we're going to be closed for the day to implement a lot of these changes! We're really excited and we hope you are too!

To follow on from the previous announcements re: The Hack - I would strongly recommend keeping all non-essential bits and pieces safe as well. I.E.: usertitles, signatures, etc.

And we're back! We've missed you all (and seen you all lurking for a peek of whats to come) and we're glad you all now get to enjoy our refreshed look but more importantly get to see the RPG hack!

All the games now are within our RPG Database. This is a new (yet old style to some of us) way of playing games. It means no more multiple accounts, you only need one account and if you accidentally select the wrong character you can edit it so easily yourself. This hack is so user friendly but don't worry it might take a bit of getting used to. Anna has made us a really handy User Guide and these can also be found in all the game welcome threads as well.

Thanks to the hack A Palace of Dreams has also had a facelift. All of the games are available to play here for your crossover dreams. If however you have a character that you wish to play that isn't currently in any of the games and wouldn't fit you can submit a bio to the Cross Over game!

We're pleased to announce that Chrissie is coming onboard full time as our tech in residence. The RPG hack is very much her brain child and we can't thank her enough for all the work she's put in for this. We think the hack is amazing and we hope you all do too.

If there are any problems or any bugs you might find don't hesitate to let us know! More importantly however we hope that you're RP experience is enhanced and you love this as much as we do.

We’re not sure if you’ve noticed, but along with our other updates, we’ve introduced a feature that is the “auto-merge”. Where in, if you post within 30 minutes of your first post, the two posts get merged right away. Some forums have this feature deactivated, some forums don’t. And to avoid that from happening with your posts, we’d suggest that you try a few different methods.

- You can start the thread early on and then post after so that you don’t have the auto-merge problem.
- Your posting partner can start the first thread and you can post after, which also takes away the auto-merge problem.
- Speak with a staff member who is online and might be able to backdate the post for you, so that it doesn’t interfere with the auto-merge function

If you have any questions regarding this, ask away and we’ll do our best to help you out.
