User blog:Flamefang/Announcements for Thursday, June 17, 2011

First, I would like to welcome three new administrators into the fold: Shooting Starz, Hollow Avarice, and Lenobia. Please congratulate them and give all the respect they're due.

Secondly, I have two important announcements to make. The first regarding the Broken Covenant and the second regarding a new user policy put in place.

The Broken Covenant
As many of you should know Broken Covenant pages were recently under lock down due to their accidental early release on saturday however I am happy to announce that their re-opening occurred early this morning with the release of the Broken Covenant Leader Heinrich Alten. You may now feel free to report for claiming at the Broken Covenant Claiming page (this includes all Defectors) though please ensure that you read the rules first as they do differentiate themselves from those used in the Camp Half-blood claiming process. Roleplay may now commence on all Broken Covenant character pages and regular Broken Covenant pages though it should be noted that the organization's base known as 'The Sanctuary' is yet to be posted and each faction's 'Sanctum' has a similar status. However these should be up and running before the weekend is over.

Now, the Broken Covenant is more than simply an opportunity for you to create ill intentioned characters. At some point next week I will announce the first of what I hope will be a continuous cycle of weekly battles between the Broken Covenant and Camp Half-blood carried out using a modified version of Capture the Flag rules. This will all be explained at a later date however and only speculation is possible for those of you without permission to access such information.

User Ranking System
If, for some reason, you neglected to read the above. Do not do the same here. This is important information that applies to every user on this wiki. Due to recent issues regarding users coming and making many characters while neglecting them only to leave soon after and others doing similar things with quests this wiki's administration has decided to implement a user ranking system with 6 individual tiers.

Upon arrival a user is considered a 'New User' and begins with a single character slot. After a week's time here he/she gains access to an additional two character slots. Once another week has passed he/she will have a total of four character slots and is allowed to participate in quests. The next week unlocks access to two more slots as well as permission to create quests and assume positions of power within the camp. The final tier, that being tier five, is unlocked after another week of consistent activity and allows the creation of another two additional characters. You will be required to put one of these templates at the top of your user page denoting your rank and time here. If you have any questions feel free to contact an administrator. There are eight of us now!

Thanks for your time, Flamefang 20:12, June 17, 2011 (UTC)
