Hello Alacrity Players!

As you know, this month is the month for beauty shows - and we are now starting our second and final one of the month! Next month will be a different game, so keep watch of news posts in early October for that.

As for the second staff hosted beauty show, the theme is “Dogs with friends” - so find your dog a companion if they don’t already have one!

As for the previous beauty show, it was a very close call but we have our three winners!
1st Place: Joy #26821
2nd Place: Eden #7324
3rd Place: Fysha #27059

For winners - you will be messaged as soon as possible, I have to get responses from the place above you before I can send you a message to choose your prize :)
For all other entries, you can expect your 5k prize for participating within the next few days. Thank you for your patience, and thank you to all who participated!

Head on over to the new forum Here to join the next round!

Hello All,

I'm posting to talk about the rumors of all staff hating certain players on this website and people stating they have screenshot proof.

We can not control the private conversations staff members have off-site, with the exception being if a staff member were to directly contact you and harass you.

However, sharing screenshots, quotes, or other information about how another player hates them is against our rules. This breaks General Rule 3 regarding harassment. Going around telling people hate someone is not alright to do on Alacrity. If we discover any players sharing screenshots or quotes, or stating to other players they have proof all staff hates them, we will be forced to write you up for General Rule 3 and for General Rule 2 for disregarding this post. We do not wish to do that.

If you ever receive screenshots, quotes or anything else stating a staff member hates you, or you believe a staff member is mistreating you out of hate, please report it to us Admins. You can do so by going to the Issue Hub and writing an issue directly to us. We will always investigate. If you feel that during this current incident you have been wronged, please come to us admins in the Issue Hub.

If you are presented with screenshots of this kind, and do not feel comfortable with a particular staff member handling your issues, you can also make your case to admins and we will give very serious consideration to this. We don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable or unsafe, and we will not require a member to receive disciplinary action from a staff member who you may suspect is acting out of a negative bias, if we feel that becomes the appropriate exception.

As for our staff members, please take this into consideration. Do not be cavalier with any frustrations you may have that come with your positions on this site. Even off-site, your statements can reflect poorly on us, and can make our players uncomfortable. Like with any business, you still represent us when you're not working, and if it becomes a trend or a recurring problem that begins to harm the business, we will be forced to consider disciplinary action, if not de-staffing. We don't want to have to do this, and we want you to be able to have freedom off-site, but you must also take responsibility for the people you speak to, who may decide to screenshot anything you say

Again, if you have questions or wish to talk to an admin about how you were treated or a screenshot you received, please go to the Admin Issue Hub. However otherwise we do not wish to see this discussed anywhere on the site outside of the Admin Hub.

Thank you,

Hello players, I'm The Professor here from Alacrity 101 and I'd like to announce that my class is now back!

If you are a new player and are interested in learning more about the site while earning prizes, my class is perfect for you. I am even expanding my teachings to the older players of Alacrity as well, so that everyone may participate.

To read over my lecture, please visit [[here]] <--click. It is important to read everything in my lecture to help you out with the quiz that we will have every two weeks on the 1st and 15th each month. Once you have read everything in my lecture, feel free to settle down, get your pencils and papers out, and take my quiz!

Just message me (The Professor) all the questions and your answers to my classroom on account # -101. Don’t forget the negative! It cannot be scribbled to me or posted here or I cannot accept your test! If you are having trouble finding my home, please click [[here]] to be taken directly to it.

Please remember the Newbie Helpers and the rest of the site staff are here to help, but they’re not the only options to find answers on the site. Since all of the questions can be found in the above areas I told you about, you must search for them there. However, since the Issue Hub is a part of those resources, you are allowed to ask the Newbie Helpers for help with only one of the questions. Asking for the answers to the quiz in chat, forums, or through user messages will be a disqualification! In addition, I will only accept one entry per person, so you cannot enter your side account.

Our current quizzes will remain open from Sept. 15th- Sept 30th -Entries must be in by 11:59pm Alacrity Time.
