Hello Alacrity!
This is a long news post, with the first part being about this month's Staff Games and the 2nd about the winners and next installment of Alacrity 101. Take the time to read as it's a great opportunity to win some prizes!
Staff Games It’s a new month and therefore a new contest has begun! You will probably recognize this contest as a similar one has been held before a few times. There are some changes, though.
This month’s contest is an Art/Writing contest with a new addition of a Photography contest!
Please visit the individual forums to enter/read more about them. Please be sure to read the rules very carefully for each of these.

Also, let’s not forget about the last beauty show winners!
We decided to allow two categories of winners this round - one set for people who used a large variety of items, and one for people who used mostly main store items! This was a bonus since we saw a lot of awesome scenes using main store items rather than monthly shop ones and such, and couldn’t help but to let some of them win as well :)
General Winners:
1. Sparrow (#19005)
2. Asherah (#2202)
3. Cloos (#5594)
Main Store Winners:
1. Ƨα[ℓʋиα], тнɛ Ǥяιиcн♥ (#11833)
2. Wild Child (#30651)
3. Thunder's SideKick (#29429)
And believe me, these choices were still not easy! There were a lot of very close scores, so good job everyone.
We have created a forum board for feedback on how this event went:
Here Please view this forum to give constructive feedback or comments - please no complaining. We want to improve the games, and since this is our first time running these, we may still have some kinks to work out.

Alacrity 101 Hello players, I'm The Professor here from Alacrity 101 and I'd like to announce that my class is starting a new session!
If you are a new player and are interested in learning more about the site while earning prizes, my class is perfect for you. I am even expanding my teachings to the older players of Alacrity as well, so that everyone may participate.
To read over my lecture, please visit
[[here]] <--click. It is important to read everything in my lecture to help you out with the quiz that we will have every two weeks on the 1st and 15th each month. Once you have read everything in my lecture, feel free to settle down, get your pencils and papers out, and take my quiz!
Just message me (The Professor) all the questions and your answers to my classroom on account # -101. Don’t forget the negative! It cannot be scribbled to me or posted here or I cannot accept your test! If you are having trouble finding my home, please click
[[here]] to be taken directly to it.
Please remember the Newbie Helpers and the rest of the site staff are here to help, but they’re not the only options to find answers on the site. Since all of the questions can be found in the above areas I told you about, you must search for them there. However, since the Issue Hub is a part of those resources, you are allowed to ask the Newbie Helpers for help with only one of the questions. Asking for the answers to the quiz in chat, forums, or through user messages will be a
disqualification! In addition, I will only accept one entry per person, so you cannot enter your side account.
Our current quizzes will remain open from Oct. 1st- Oct. 14th -Entries must be in by Oct. 14th at 11:59pm Alacrity Time.
