Good evening, Alacrity!

I'm super excited to announce to you all that we're welcoming another Administrator to our team! Issues have been piling up and our response times have been a little slower than we like to see, so the wonderful Jackdaw has joined our ranks to help us battle these bugs and assist you all! We are stoked to have her on the team. Please give her a warm welcome!

As always, please make use of the Issue Hub to report bugs, problems, any player issues, questions, or anything else that you need any kind of assistance with <3

Also, I want to apologize for the lack of reset last night. As most of you know, Alacrity's server experienced a little hiccup which put us offline at the ever crucial midnight rollover period. Ala's confused and still thinks it's yesterday. This problem will correct itself automatically at midnight tonight, so I want to thank you all for your patience with this! Because we were unable to correct this issue for you all today, we will be extending Thanksgiving Gift Giving to compensate for the lost time :)

Story Contest Winners

We had so many stories to read, and you guys are so inventive! We had to narrow it down a bit, and it was hard to choose winners, but here they are! You can read their stories on the Spooky Tails submission post, as well as all of the other awesome stories!

1St Place: Crevan (#44)

2nd Place: Stacy (#101)

3rd Place: A TIE! 8O The following users tied for third place! We just couldn't make one an honorable mention here!
Jackdaw (#12605) and Roo (#8507)!



We had some fierce competition this Ala-Ween, and it was tough judging, but I know you guys can do better next time, and I'm expecting a lot more entries in both kinds of competitions! You guys are great, as always, and I want to thank you so very much for being patient!


I will be contacting the winners of the contests about their prizes shortly! :D
