One of our dear admins, Wysper (#9), is resigning from our staff team because she has a lot going on in her life right now and doesn't feel like she can serve as a full-time admin.

Wysper has served the site and and users for over a year not only as an administrator who has been involved with the moderators and the newbie helpers, but was also a moderator herself, and has been a member of our art team for many months, leaving her deeply involved with all aspects of the site. She will be sorely missed as a staff member by all of us here at Alacrity, and we wish her luck with her new life pursuits.

To help get you all even more excited about the Custom Marking Auction going on, our very own Xylax has been allowed to create a brand new marking of his own creation to Siberian Huskies called "copper agouti" which is just gorgeous! It is available in the custom tool for anyone that wants to try this new marking out.

As clarification, when bidding on the auction, please understand that while you can design your marking, the actual art itself will be done by myself for the sake of quality control and consistency. Xylax was an exception due to being part of the art team and wanted to do this in exchange for his work on our recent Aussie puppies, and for the fact he is now in charge of puppy art, so I have every confidence in his abilities. <3

Now go have fun with the Custom Tool, and get your bids in on the auction for your chance to have your very own marking added to Alacrity! :D

Hello, Lovely Alacrites!

We had SO much news yesterday that I feel like we may have slipped one large point by you unintentionally. I just want to take a moment to clarify one thing and make sure you all saw the biggest (for some of you) news of yesterday's many news posts!

Larthan is our newest Trial Administrator! Some of you may be asking what "trial" means--this means that Larthan, while learning the ropes of the administrative job here on Alacrity, will also get to interact with all of you and you can form the special staff relationship with her that you experience with our current admins! Additionally, it means that she will have a moment to get a taste for the job and make sure that she likes it before continuing :) As always, if there are any concerns about this or anything that she (or ANY of the admins!) have done along her educational route, please don't hesitate to submit those concerns to the mod issue hub - ask for the concern to be bumped to admins.

Many of you may be asking WHY? Why was Larthan chosen? On the forefront, it seems that Larthan doesn't have much experience--I mean, she hasn't been a member of the staff on Alacrity yet, has she? No, this is true, but our ever loved site owner, Robyn, and Larthan have a LONG standing professional relationship with Rob's previous sims. Along with being a long time member, this makes Larthan uniquely qualified to handle issues on Alacrity! For this reason, she has been chosen to help with the overwhelming number of administrative issues we must address each day <3 I hope you all welcome her as warmly as she deserves!

We are all dedicated to providing you with the best game play possible! We appreciate your continued support and kind words :)

With all of our hearts,
The Alacrity Staff <3
