I will be taking a 2 month hiatus, starting tonight, so that I can go camping across the country!

My account will be unadmined, so that any newbies that join during the time I am away won't accidentally PM me asking for help, but rest assured I will be back at the end of October! :)

This trip is a college program I'm participating in, and I'll be earning 18 honors credit hours for it, so I'm really excited! But I'm going to miss you guys a ton! So! If you want to send Aadyn any mail, feel free to do so! I won't have any access to the internet or my phone for the full time I'm gone (excluding a few "off" days when I'll be in the city and will have access to my cell), so snail mail is the only way I can communicate with the outside world.

Here is a list of my mail drops, with instructions on how to get things to me. c: I hope to hear from you guys once or twice while I'm gone so I won't have to miss you so much! (by the way, my REAL name is Sam Waltz ;D)

Hello lovely Alacrites!

I have two things I want to mention right now :)

First and foremost, I wish to congratulate whoever won the rare dog auction! This dog is the only one of its kind to venture into the negative dog ID range. It was a funny mistake which I'm pleased to see turned out wonderfully for the community at large. Congrats, again!

Secondly, and everyone please pay attention, we are adding a new rule. We've noticed that a lot of members have been posting things called a "Wall of Shame" on their profiles. This is hurtful and never serves a purpose other than to bash another player. We do understand that sometimes deals go awry and people here cannot be happy 100% of the time, but we need to understand that the community is one we care about here. If you have a deal, or something else, that has gone not as planned, you should bring the matter up with a moderator to deal with via the Issue Hub (please select Moderators). Understand that we cannot intervene in all cases, but when it comes to most things we can at least act as a liason between members and try to reach an agreeable solution.

Regardless, things dubbed as a Wall of Shame lists are no longer permitted. These sorts of things are not always titled "Wall of Shame", but understand that anything of this sort is NOT permitted. We have No-Sell and Block-Player lists for a reason. Use them if you don't think you can interract with another member anymore. Under no circumstances should we see players posting inflammatory or defaming things about another player on their profiles. Period.

If you have any questions, concerns, or confusion about what this new rule means, please don't hesitate to submit and issue to the Newbie Helper or Mod hub for clarification! It's always better to ask before and avoid breaking rules than to ask for forgiveness later :)

As always, with all our love,
The Alacrity Staff
