Staying true to our plans of getting new things done and fixing old issues each month, here is a list we're working on for all of our wonderful members!

Pup predictor is inaccurate - Needs to be updated to match the breeding script.

Fee for each pup prediction, after fixed, both to provide a money sink to aid the economy, as well as to discourage over-use/cheating of refresh on the page in order to get random events (which causes the system problems).

Pregnant dog icon

Female Leasing - Just like studding, but for females! Code will be designed to deliver newborn pups directly to the person who purchased the lease.

Revamp Beauty Shows - Scrambled URLs to prevent knowing a dog's ID to remove any bias voting - Only 3 shows can be live at any one time from one user, to prevent flooding - All shows refreshed on Fridays, same as trials - Add an option to choose certain breeds of dog, just like in the trials, so that incorrect breeds can not be entered in breed-exclusive shows.

"Custom" Foundies - Not literally customs, but we loved the ideas presented in this thread and will aim to implement something like this asap!

Trophy icon - for when a dog completes a level (Odie, Scooby, etc.)

Ribbon icon - for when a dog wins a beauty show (10 maximum)

Fixing Toucan companions.

We hope everyone will enjoy these features once we get them all finished up! And I have to voice our appreciation toward our coder, Jeremy, for working so hard to help Alacrity grow! <3

The Riddler

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

Good evening!

I have just a couple quick things to talk about tonight :>

First, our Newbie Helper application process ends tonight at midnight. If you were interested in applying, but haven't yet, you have a few short hours to fill out your application and send it in! We will not consider applications sent after midnight, Alacrity Standard Time, tonight.
• Pick up your application here.
• Submit your application here, when you're finished (please use the message feature and note that this is -101, not 101).


Next, I wanted to give y'all an update on Alacrity 101. For those of you who don't know, this was a project originally called The Newbie Raffle that was run by some of our wonderful staff members last year, but they found themselves short of the incredible amount of time it takes to run this program. About eight months ago, we decided to take on this project as a staff team, but found ourselves considerably short on the hours that it took to keep this thing running smoothly, so the program was set on the back-burner for a short while. I'm happy to announce that we're getting ourselves organized again and, with the pending addition of some wonderful new Helpers, we will be able to get back on track with this! Be on the lookout for updates about this amazing program and discover ways you can help!


This leads me into our next point; The Professor Plush has been finalized, created, and is now for sale in the Alacrity Campus Shop. The Professor Plush is priced at 5 Bones and ALL proceeds will go to furthering the education of Alacrity's newbies :> If The Campus Shop is out of The Professor Plushies, please scribble on The Professor's board and we'll work to correct it quickly!

Everybody, please thank our wonderful Ehm for her amazing work on creating both The Professor Plush and The Professor`s Outfit. She's done an amazing job on both!

We hope you're all having a wonderful weekend!
