November summary 2011

Greetings, salutations and hello!


As always, the monthly newsletter comes in the first week of the next month! Meaning here we stop and take stock of what has been going on on Winds of Fury Dragonriders of Pern RPG forum. But even before we go into the OOC news as always, I would like to take a moment and remember the wonderful writer that has given us the world we play in - Anne McCaffrey might have passed away on the 21st of November but her characters, her ideas and worlds continue on always! RIP.

In the month of November, the following lovely new people joined us: Heart, Britt and Ayra! Welcome welcome, we hope you enjoy your time on WoF. Don't be shy if you have a question, comment, plot idea that sounds crazy at first. We love hearing from you and RPing with you so there we go. Also we had the return of Star and Kylee. Welcome back to you, two. Looking forward to writing with you, too.

In November, our Halloween scenes continued. They can and should be still finished but the creation of new ones has drawn to a stop. Don't forget we have a few guessing games and titles to give out concerning this fun and scary special event so stay tuned on the event topic here To all of you still finding your beastly selves - definitely continue to the victorious end. It is terribly fun!

As you can see from our slightly seasonal banner - original graphic by Desh and garland-ed up by Lee - the merrymaking holidays are approaching! For your IC/OOC and otherwise ambiguous Christmas/Turnover presents, visit this topic. Don't forget to leave your gifts there from yourself, your characters and to whoever! It is the time of spreading joy, after all.

As IC news will also emphasize, we are on the hunt for Searchriders. So if you read this and are thinking of creating a new character or spicing up an old one - make it a Searchrider! It is a good position and from now on, often used to bring in more and more fresh Candidates. Both old and new members are welcome to create such lovely people.

Last but not least, there is an on-going Activity Check, the last one this year. It can be found here Lets check in and rock into the new year!

In case I don't see you before next newsletter - happy holidays, everyone!

The biggest news in the weyr is golden. As in golden Talmeth has finally risen! Several males have already taken flight after the queen but fear not! The thread is located HERE and open to any adult bronzes (or bold brown maybe?!) who seek glory, Seren’s bed skills, and of course the impressive mantel as Weyrleader! Will the Enkalan bred T’khor reclaim his title? Will Istan transfer G’tien keep his tenuous hold on the metaphorical crown? Or will the victory go to one of the new challengers?! Only time will tell!

Aside from the action in the sky we are pleased to welcome some new IC faces to Enkala. LinkNovembers new arrivals include: the weyrbrat Zaria, weyrling Ilista, bronzerider V’mer and weyrling Nyali! Many of them have already jumped into the fray so keep an eye out! And while I’m at it I’ll plug our Matchmaker which is great for people looking to get into some nice and naughty threads but unsure how to go about it. =D Just as fun but not as dirty as it sounds usually.

As the Weyr waits in earnest for the gold flights winner to emerge the relationship with the holds continues to be tense. Is the hold holding out on the half halfheartedly supplied weyr? Or is the weyr wretchedly wringing all it can from the weary holders? Opinions differ but I never get tired of alliteration. Guess we’ll find out come winter.

In anticipation for another clutch the weyr is in search of search riders (ha!), all interested blue and green riders please come forward! Speaking of searchriders check out this nifty segue where I pimp our adoptables! Aside from being made by members of Winds of Fury these adoptable characters are open ended and have lots of guaranteed plot potential! They are looking for a good home so please consider them when you're thinking of your next char. And you are...aren't you?!


The weyrleadership is up for grabs! Thread is falling regularly. Turnover is just around the corner. The weather may be cooling down but things at Enkala are just heating up!

Thanks to Desh for the help with this newsletter! :)
