Greetings mutants,

This email is going to be chock full of information, so I apologize in advance for the length of it. But there is some really awesome, exciting stuff in here, so you should at least give it a skim!

Upcoming Celebration:
X-Men: Rage & Serenity turned two years old at the beginning of January! Yeah, that's right - we've been around for two years. Holy crap.

So we're going to have a celebration in-dream! Festivities will be held the second weekend of February (February 8th and 9th) and will start around 5pm Furcadia Standard Time on both days and end whenever the events end!

Preliminary events:
Saturday will be an IC event introducing the new dice-rolling system I devised! See "Regarding the Main Plot" below for some more teasers about that.

Sunday will be an OOC celebration including chances for you to win goodies (like port spaces and lifers - everyone likes those).

So invite your friends and come hang out with us that weekend! It promises to be a fun time.



Regarding the Main Plot:
Magneto has awoken from his coma! He will be taking a while to get back on his feet, and will not be allowed visitors for at least the first week of his recovery, but he is back and ready for business.

This is exciting because I will be running IC training events as soon as my muse is capable of doing so. These events will incorporate a very basic dice-rolling system to decide who hits what when, and how much damage is done to the baddie (and is also user-friendly, so I'll be teaching it to all the IC instructors for them to run their classes the same way if they so choose). I'm hoping this will not only provide an element of fairness, but will also speed up group role plays so we're not sitting around for six hours before we even make a dent in said baddie. I've done a test-run of this dice system, and I really think it'll work nicely.



Regarding the Dream:
Hello! Charles here taking a moment to speak to you guys about the latest group update! What does this mean for us, and where are we going with it? I'm hoping I can answer some of these questions for you.

In game you will no doubt have noticed the new icon on your game-- it looks like two green faces. This little icon will open up your channels. Most people will only see the default furcadia channels. News, Event, and Fun. However if you are a member of a group you will also see your groups channel here.

Because X-Men has a Group Package, our members will get the chance to experience this cool new feature. All you have to do is go to this website: http://cms.furcadia.com/grouppackages/dreamgroups/139/xmen and request an 'invite' to the group on the character you would consider your 'main' character. Why is this important? I'm going to tell you!

Were you ever online, only to not realize there was a roleplay/event going on in our dream and wish you could have known about it? Despite the fact we e-mail weeks in advance of events-- some people don't check their emails. But this new group feature will allow us to send announcements right to your furcadia screen-- no matter where you're at in furcadia!

This means if you're online on your 'main' character, you'll be able to see our furcadia wide emit that something fun is going down.

The new group features also give us a channel that we can all chat on, no matter where we are on furcadia. This will be super useful for events-- but we will still ask that you visit the dream during events so we don't let lonely. Seeing your pixels makes us happy-- and you'd miss out on all the food.

And if you're not completely convinced you want to join the new group interface-- joining the group will give you a shiny for life tag in your character's description that proudly claims you're a member of X-Men forever! What could be better then that? So join today!


Alrighty, that about wraps things up for this email. As always, I'm available here through PM or in-game on Magneto for anyone who has any questions, concerns, comments, or rude remarks. Or fan squealings, I could go for some of those too (I kid). Please don't hesitate to contact me about anything!

Best regards,
Erik
