July Spotlight + News

Posted 4 years ago :: Last edited 4 years ago by Mouse


Hey everyone!
We've released a big QoL update on June 16th that you can read about here if you haven't already!

We've also tried out google forms as an alternative to dA polls for the Spotlight Paralogos and it worked great from our end.
However, we'd greatly appreciate feedback from you about whether this is better or worse than dA polls for you.

Furthermore, we're still continuously working on several features that are yet to be implemented or re-implemented.
Thank you all so much for your patience!

 


The new Monthly Prompt has been released: Balloon Fight!

Members who draw or write about this Paralogos through the month of July will get a bonus +3 flat INK

Finally... we honor:

Thank you all for your contributions! There were so many wonderful things uploaded this past month! Please view our Gallery for more.

[Deviantart obviously does not give us thumbnails for our website posts-
so we will be showcasing at most 10 images a month that should be linked to the original uploads. Literature will be linked to as well.]

 
 


No new sets from the past month open at the moment! But please visit LogosLibrary to see who is still up for sale.
For another visual guide, you can visit the Sales Folder on DeviantArt for direct links to adopt sets.

 


And finally, we'd like to make special mention of the birthdays this coming month of July-

June Spotlight + News

Posted 4 years ago :: Last edited 4 years ago by Speedy
(Starting now, we'd like to use our monthly Spotlight posts to also inform you on any type of news we've got for you - including new Monthly Prompts, potential events, etc)

First of all: Once again, welcome to this new era of our Paralogos community!
We're very happy to see you all joining this website, enjoying the new automated features and asking good questions!

We've been working hard this past month to make sure our group stays as functional as possible.
At this point, we've finished transferring the masterlist and adjusting the pages on this website!
But sadly, we're not quite done yet.

Here's a list of our next goals (in no particular order):
- reimplementing Caretaker registrations & edits
- reimplementing the Membership Card function
- various QoL improvements (incl. moving Word Claims & MYO Slot transformations to this website)

We thank you all so much for your patience and understanding.

 


The new Monthly Prompt has been released: Logos at Work!
Furthermore, the Recent Events page has been updated.

Two quick notes regarding Monthly Prompts:
1) We added a rule regarding minimum effort for entries:
"Every entry must be worth a minimum of 5 ink."
(5 Ink is one Ink less than a flat colored fullbody or a shaded bust & equal to 375 words)

2) There is now a 3 day grace period for Monthly Prompt submissions.
This means that submissions for Monthly Prompts will stay open until the 3rd, while the new prompt will always be released on the 1st.

 


The Spotlight member[s] this month are the joint admins mewhaku , Mouse , and Speedy !

Written by Mewhaku here! Hello all. Yes, so we've all spent a large amount of time getting the website created this month- 
Through thick and thin I've been so thankful for my dear teammates and friends. I couldn't be thankful enough, and I mean that.
So it wasn't a matter of choosing one over another, or just because I'm the 'owner' picking myself. 
I wouldn't be able to keep things going without everyone's help! How far Paralogos has come... their own website!! Ah... 

Thank you both [and thank you to all of our members!!!] again for making this group a better place.
You will be awarded a membership card:

Word Claims + QoL Update

Posted 4 years ago :: Last edited 4 years ago by Mouse

Greetings everyone!
We're here with an update that's going to make some things easier for everyone involved!

 


1) Word Claims and MYO item to slot transformations were moved to the new Start MYO Process prompt. They are now one step.
1.1) It's now mandatory to claim a word when you transform a Paralogos MYO item into a MYO slot.
1.2) Word Claims no longer expire.
2) Magic suggestions and questions were moved on-site to the new Magic Questions prompt.
3) General questions and inquiries can now, alternatively to dA notes, be sent in via the new Ask Questions Here prompt.
4) Signing up for the yearly Birthday gift is now done via claims instead of dA.
5) There is now a MYO Process page that explains the entire MYO process. It can be found in the "info" tab.

All these changes are reflected in the User Guide!

 


Word Claims are now mandatory and will no longer expire.

On this website, Word Claims are visibly attached to MYO slots, so we no longer require the Word Claims list.
When you want to check for existing Word Claims, you can simply type the word in the searchbar on the MYO Masterlist.

Because of this, Word Claims and MYO slot transformations are now one step via the Start MYO Process prompt.
All Word Claims that are currently not attached to MYO Slots can be seen on the Legacy Word Claims page.
Members who currently own MYO Slots without Word Claims or Word Claims without associated MYO Slots can fix this situation via the Start MYO Process prompt as well.

We furthermore determined that the expiration system (word claims expire after 3 months and have to be renewed) is no longer useful.
It was initially in place to prevent words to be lost to inactivity forever, but we realized that a case where someone claims a word that has previously been claimed is extremely rare and therefore not worth the immense effort to prevent it.
Instead, we are putting a soft rule in place where we allow members to contest Word Claims that are at least two years old.
The exact functionality of this system can be read up on on the Legacy Word Claim page.

Existing Word Claims can be changed or removed via the Start MYO Process prompt.
You can now also trade or gift MYO slots with attached Word Claims.

 


The Lorekeeper framework received an update that allows us to reply to prompt submissions. Meaning that we can now use prompts to give verbal feedback.
Because of this, we are moving the following functions to this website:

1.1) Magic Suggestions (now Magic Questions)
1.2) Making sure you Paralogos' Magic Ability will be approved (now Magic Questions)
1.3) Magic-related Questions (now Magic Questions)
2) General Questions/replacement for dA notes (now Ask Questions Here)
3) Sign-Up for the Birthday Feature (now done via Claims, see the User Guide for details)

 

Again, thank you all so much for your patience!
If you have any question or feedback at all, feel free to test out our new Ask Questions Here prompt! =)
