Good evening, Alacrites!

We have some exciting news for you tonight :> The professor had a chance to review everyones' Newbie Helper applications and we've come to a decision on who the next staff members will be! We want to thank you ALL for applying--the astounding number of excellent applications we received made this a truly difficult decision. As such, we will be holding onto the best applications, just in case staff positions open up in the near future. If you didn't make the cut this time, don't lose hope and don't give up! As Alacrity grows, we will need more of you to step up to the plate :>

First, everybody please welcome our four newest Newbie Helpers!
Saddlebreed (#8352)
ThreeWhispers (#7424)
Illusions of dreaming (#6174)
Sir Johndeer (#524)

Next, and this may come as a bit of a shock to you, we received two applications that were exemplary from two oustanding members of our community. We were so impressed that the following two members have been moved directly into a Moderator status!

Everybody, please welcome our two newest Mods!
Bujhti Bhuta (#5172)
ClimbingRocks (#21089)

We're so excited to have these wonderful players join the staff team and I hope you all are excited, too! As always, please continue to use the Issue Hub to ask questions, post problems, report bugs, and generally interract with the staff when you need assistance! Be on the lookout for these new faces in the hub :D

The Riddler

... has put a new riddle up for you to ponder over! Can you beat him?

Our coder has (we hope!) finally fixed the issue with the pup predictor, and we've even made a few changes! You will now receive 4 possible puppies on one page, and if you're an upgraded user you'll even be able to see the TP stats of the pups! This will come in handy later on, when we hope to implement the ability to purchase puppy guarantees, where you will be able to pay a fee for a pup of your choice, and it is guaranteed to show up in the next litter! For now, though, it's just some extra info for you, if you're wondering what the numbers will look like for future puppies. :}

Make sure to report to the Issue Hub in case you run into any problems!
