Welcome to the August edition of our Newsletter! First of all, we would like to welcome all the new members to Extermination! We have recently received a wave of awesome new members who definitely make this place lots of fun. We hope you enjoy Extermination as much as we enjoy you and can't wait to see your characters develop!
The July Activity check ended at the first of this month, we were happy to see how many members stuck around with us! I'm sure that everyone noticed that the new skin is up. Everyone give a big thanks to Erida for possessing such wonderful abilities. I think we can all be proud to have one of the most unique skins on proboards. Although most of us already know that she'll get that feeling again and be changing it before we know it!
There are a few exciting plots happening right now, one of which involves the entire site so be sure to read up on them. We would also like to give you a reminder that everyone has their very own OOC board and Character Diary board, lets get those plots rolling!
The bright blue skies that stretch on forever have been replaced by frightening black clouds. The sun refuses to share it's rays, yet the island is scorching more then ever before. The only relief is the constant down pour of heavy rains. The rain doesn't leave the fresh scent as usual, however, a thick metallic stench is wreaking havoc on the senses of those who call the island home. The entire island is dusted with black ash from mountains to forests. This is the first time such an event has taken place during any of the canines' lives. What could such a horrible disaster mean for the island?
PLOT 001. Barzakh has entered into Metnal territories with the full intent of gaining the Typhoon/Erida pups trust and bringing them back with them for a far more laid back lifestyle in Abduction
PLOT 002. Kynthia, the story telling coyote, is the first to wander across the bridge created by the erupting volcano. This bridge now connects the two sides of the island and the first meeting is taking place just inside Eastern Territories in A New Tale. At this point, only Kynthia and Erebos know of the merging! Watch out for further details on this plot.
PLOT 003. Tartarus is still trying to get ready to chose an acceptable Alpha in Howl Of Fate
There are many more plots to come and some will be beginning sooner than you think! Most of these plots are kept secret, though, so keep your eyes open for releases!
We would also like to remind everyone that there are still high ranking positions in some of the packs, including the Alpha position in Henka! There are still also a few staff positions opened. We would like to invite you to consider joining our Extermination Team if you feel like you can handle the responsibilities. On both the high ranking positions and staff positions, all members will need to complete a two week probationary period before they can be accepted.
Taking a moment to congradulate our most recent Spotlight winners now!
Member Of The Month went to Amaya! She is an excellent addition to the site as well as our staff team, helping out whenever it is possible for her!
Staff Of The Month belongs to the one and only Erida this time around. With her new skin and constant contributions to the forum (sometimes even giving up sleep for us!), we wouldn't be able to get as far as we have, not to mention Extermination wouldn't even *be* here without her!
Character Of The Month went to one of the more recent additions, Erebos. Erebos is role played by Jenn. And since Jenn is writing this newsletter, there's nothing else that can really be said other than he is awesome!
Thread Of The Month went where it belonged with Abduction. This is yet another one of our site-wide plots that includes many characters from both the Metnal and Barzakh packs. Chantal, Ondrea, Thorn, Kiyoko, Typhoon, Amaya, Silas and Scáth have all graced this thread with their presence. The Barzakh team have just ran into Scáth, the Metnal Beta. Will he let the trio of opposing pack members take off with the pups, or will he feel a sudden urge to do something about it?
We would also like to invite you to go ahead and start working on your nominations for next months spotlights in this thread.
We have a few contests up and running that we would like you to check out and possibly participate in. These are easy ways to rack up your bones to afford all those awesome powers you want for your characters!
CONTEST 001. Give a Gift! - This contest is proving to be quite fun already and members are loving the gifts they receive. Plus there is our biggest bone awarding yet to the member who wins this contest! Contest ends 9/4/2010.
CONTEST 002. Advertising Contest! - This is an on going contest that will still help you rack up those bones while supporting Extermination. You receive 2 bones per advertisement with a first place prize of 50 bones!
CONTEST 003. Although not really a contest, the Breed Descriptions thread is an extremely easy way to get a lot of bones fairly quickly. Just fill out the simple code for the breeds listed and receive 5 bones per submission!
CONTEST 004. For those of you who might enjoy making a video for Extermination, we have the Plot Video Contest available to you.
As always, we appreciate everything all of you have done to make Extermination a interesting, successful site! Please don't hesitate to PM Erida or Typhoon about any suggestions you have for a plot for the site, we love hearing all your ideas!
Happy RPing,
Extermination Staff
