Midnight Shadows

There is a new event up in New Orleans! Be sure to send all your characters to the Scavenger Hunt, and be sure to read all the rules. This Event is unique, because YOU determine the outcome!

Calling all members of the Forces! It's the most wonderful time of the year, so bring that special someone to the Christmas ball, or, if you choose so, come alone to meet new people! Be sure to join in this Christmas tradition, and have a wonderful holiday!

Owing to questions over the presence of combat threads within New Orleans, the management have provided the players with six new combat threads in which to post; Belle Chasse, Delta Queen, Vieux Carre, Honey Island, Qatar Pavillion and Lake Pontchatrain!

Enjoy these new threads and go kick the other side's butt! Any questions should be directed towards a manager.

The guides would like to introduce a new batch of powers for RP purposes! You may choose one power for levels 1-3, and an extra power for levels 4-6. These are not meant to be used in fights, and we hope you enjoy them! Go check them out, and be sure to request the powers you would like!

Also, HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Previously, upon being promoted to the next level, your previously unapproved ring (if any) would be automatically approved without you needing to do anything. However, with the addition of the Wizard's Tower and the simpler way of getting them approved, we would like to announce that from now on every ring needs to be approved for New Orleans use through the Wizard's Tower without exception, regardless of promotions. If you have any questions or need things cleared up, feel free to contact the nearest Guide!

We present to you the Love Me, Love Me Not Tournament!

The tournament is now active and will be comprised of 3 rounds, leading up to Valentine's Day. Check out the tournament forum in Far Afield and see the interesting twist the event managers have come up with for this WWD fight. You're gonna love... or hate it.

Best of luck to all competitors!

We've got a lot in store leading up to Mardi Gras in New Orleans!

But to prepare for the big event, someone out there is requesting each side to follow orders, and the big payoff will be major. Will you represent the Academy, the Forces, or the Order? In the end, who is going to claim the biggest slice of pie that's the power source running rampant in the Crescent City?

The choice is really up to you. Good luck!

We are super ecstatic to announce the winners of the Love Me, Love Me Not tournament! It has been a great ride, and on behalf of the planning staff, thank you to all who participated and chipped in behind the scenes! And now, the final results:

FIRST PLACE: Ellen (Isabel, ADA) & Angelo (Ezra, FGB)
SECOND PLACE: Todd (Cory, ADA) & Tom (Luke, FGB)
THIRD PLACE: Todd (Lukas, ADA) & Sarah (Brooke, FGB)

Please join me in congratulating our winners and our finalists! Winners, please be on the lookout for your prizes, coming soon.
