HOT MESS EXPRESS OF UPDATES, STEAMROLLIN' INTO YOUR STATION.

Sit the hek down, grab a y'self a danged notepad, and take some flippin' NOTES because boy-howdy do we have a lot for you to remember!

Holy POPSICLE STICKS, what is with all these updates?

We staffers have done some soul-searching and decided to begin down the path of MORE ORGANIZATION.  Now that Anomalous is getting bigger, it is integral that our systems behind the seams are much more, well, seamless so that if there is ever a time we are short-staffed we don't get bogged down.  Plus, more efficient staff systems means - you guessed it - shorter turn times for you which means you get to play with your character EVEN FASTER THAN BEFORE!  Yay?  YOU BET YOUR SWEET BANANA BREAD YAY.

Without further ado, here are some changes to be aware of!
  • We won't say how many but you now get extra Salamanders for each piece of artwork/literature RP that depicts your character that you submit to Anomalous; you also get an extra ADDITIONAL bonus for collaborating with other members!  How's that for fabulous?!  SO HOP TO IT AND GET TO RPIN', K!?
  • We have updated the requirements when submitting RPs!  Most of you have seen this but, if you haven't, please give the new Anomalopedia | Roleplay in Anomalous journal for more info.  Most notably, Skill Points must now be posted in the artist's comments of all artwork/lit RPs.
  • There are a few new mutations in town!  Elongated Ears, Elongated Neck, Elongated Spine, Bald, Lion's Mane, Kirin Crest, Extreme Hair Growth, and Spines/Spikes have all landed in Anomalous.  Read more about them in the Anomalopedia | Mutations journal.
  • Wanted Position Rank Bonus now has its own journal/system of approval.  This bonus proved to be more popular than we thought!  We now have a better system to claiming these rewards; read all about it here: Wanted Positions - Rank Bonus.
  • Tattoo Packs are now available!  From here on out, you can now add tattoos to your Anomalous character!  Tattoo packs come in Basic, Uncommon, and Rare level variations - you can even add on an additional Rare Level Ink to make them glow!  You can read more about these new rewards in the Salamander Reward journal.
  • There is now a new system for submitting designs!  This one is slightly more complex but I promise it's not that hard!  All you have to do is submit your Free Creation, Salamander Reward, or Foal Design to the appropriate Anomalous Gallery Folder (ie, Free Creation, Salamander Reward, Foal Design gallery folder) with the new design form filled out in the artist's comments section and then fill out this Design Record Form!  You're all done!  To view the new design forms, go to the Character Creation journal for Starters and the Breeding journal for Foal designs!
  • For those of you that didn't notice, the Dragons got a bit of an update.  The Here There Be Dragons! has all the most current/up-to-date information about our favorite scaled pets.

Results of the Saraphem Member Favorite are live!


Thank you everyone who voted a second time!  These two members were so DANGED close that we just had to bring them to life!  Congratulations jouroo and lilfawns for winning Member's Choice; you both have won a Saraphem token!  meganeffingsandbox's bid came in third place so will be taking home a well-deserved Extra Rare Reward token.

The Alsaraphem auction will go up on September 1st, keep your eyes peeled!

What's currently going on in Anomalous?


SHADOWS ON FIRE!
    • What will the Shadow Alliance do now that they finally have Crown Princess Cadhara in their clutches?  
      • The literature for this will be hopefully be up by the end of next week!  Stay tuned!
    • What about the Linx?  Now that Alexein is gone, what will Shia do?
      • Oh my lord Shia you just became beta and now you're an alpha!  The pressure has caused poor Shia to have an anxiety attack and pass out but stay tuned for what happens when he wakes up!  Literature should be up by next week for this as well but will be no later than the end of the month.
SARAPH FESTIVAL?
  • Okay, enough about those dastardly Shadows -shakes fist-!  What's this Saraph celebration we heard about?
    • The sultans, in an attempt to gain some brownie points with the herd, have decided to throw a New Dawn Festival!  You can read all about that here: New Dawn Festival and Saraph Timeline!  Entries will be RNGed to determine who wins each category.  Everyone should be on their best behavior though!  Word has it that the sultans are looking to finally put some bodies into the Sunstone Council...

Anything else?


Of course there is something else!  This is Anom, after all. 
  • Rumor has it that there might be some whispers about talisman collecting flying through the air.  I just wanted to squash these right here and now that these rumors are unfounded and should not be taken seriously. heh.
  • As aforementioned, the Alsaraphem auction will be posted on September 1st!
  • Y'all have been so active and fabulous recently - I LOVE IT!  :heart:  Just wanted to give y'all a big old thanks for being GREAT!
  • And of course...
