Holy Moly! Another year behind us- a new year ahead... and there are some big updates coming this group's way!

Firstly...

Our Annual Wicked and Maverick Auction is now LIVE - you can check that out here! Featuring pre-made designs by mewhaku and Mouse !

Secondly, this is a MAJOR update based on user commentary and suggestions.

There is now a New Shop, mysteriously called the Black Market. Seems Aithne (Amber Maverick Whiffling) and Poki (Spooky Paralogos) are somehow running it. You'll need a key to go there, unlocked after claiming either the Wicked Paralogos MYO Book award or the Maverick Whiffling MYO Ticket award from completing Achievements. We'll be retroactively awarding this key to anyone who has achieved either of those rewards.

Within the Black Market, you'll find some extremely rare items for sale... Wicked Books (1000 Ink) and Maverick Tickets (1000 Bottlecaps).

It seems these items have gained much more power in Lingua, as they now can also be redeemed for Design Updates. This will irrereversibly change a normal Paralogos or normal Whiffling into either a Wicked Paralogos or Maverick Whiffling.

Please remember, once you "upgrade" your character to either of these states... it cannot be changed. Canonically and lore-wise, this is a forward-only change. Triceridos are not affected by these items either. 

Also, as part of this change- Wicked Books and Maverick Tickets are now only redeemable as a free voucher for design by an Official Artist ONLY when it is gained from an Achievements based Award. This is to ensure our staff don't get burnt out from you high-rollers!

The next Prompt is: Winter Regalia!

This year [and possibly continuing years], we will have a scaling reward system [not a raffle] for Prompt participation. See the prompt's details for more information! Because these months are now bi-monthly (as in there are 6 prompts TOTAL for the year), the details have changed.

This month #422 Sonder and #237 Cream Puff were voted in as our Spotlight characters!

They both belong to SpicyIsopods!


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

The owner of the Spotlight character will not gain this additional bonus,
but are still rewarded the normal currency from having someone else draw your owned character.

It is now December! We hope you're all staying warm and toasty as the weather gets colder.

We finished up the Puppillars Crossover Event, and all Mementos should currently be distributed. If I missed someone, just let me know. It was a resouding success, and we hope you all had a lot of fun!

Housekeeping wise- Small reminder that prompts next year will be bimonthly - meaning a new one will be released every two months!

Also, since it is the gifting season- do remember that all gift art for other users does gain extra currency normally, no Event required! =)

The next Prompt is: Conclusions and Looking Forward

Oh? What a curious Whiffling Ginkgo has befriended there! They've got so many arms... are they a Maverick? And they just smell like... dog fur? Or, what is that... *sniff* *sniff* Is that oatmeal shampoo?! What a strange scent for a Maverick!!
...
Wait, Ginkgo, what do you mean that's not a Whiffling at all?? A Pupp-what? Puppillar? Oh my god is there yet another species on Lingua we've somehow never noticed before?
...
What do you mean "not quite"?!

Looks like one of those strange portals that kept opening a few years back never fully closed and managed to reopen to reveal a pathway to the magical world of Arcanis! Ginkgo of course immediately began communicating and befriending the curious creatures that came through the portal, while some others began forming an exploration party that shall venture into the portal.
Seems like there's a lot of activity happening!

Hey everyone! This month we are excited to announce a collaborative event with the Puppillars group - a magical ARPG that is very near and dear to our hearts!

For those who haven't heard of Puppillars before:
It is a fun multi-species ARPG website similar to our own, set in a magical world bustling with their species Puppillars (many-legged Dog-Caterpillar hybrids), Snailcats (adorable Snail-Cat hybrids) and Arcane Fauna (animals infused with arcane magic)! To learn more about them, we recommend checking out their Beginner Guides.

The Venn-Diagram of our two communities most definitely has some overlap already, but we're excited to increase it further by sharing their ARPG with any of you who might not be familiar yet - and we've prepared some fun crossover activities to achieve that! =)

All the crossover activities will end at the end of the day, site time, on November 30th, so make sure to get your submissions in before that time!

It is now November! We hope you had a wonderful spooky season~

It looks like some strange visitors [Puppillars?!] have come to Lingua.. check out the Event Post here!

Additionally, Mementos from Jack's Scavenger Hunt are being distributed as well once that ends. =)

Housekeeping wise- We had a discussion in the #suggestions channel on Discord regarding Monthly Prompts for next year. It seems people will prefer them bimontly (lasting every 2 months), so enjoy the last two monthly prompts for this year in the meantime!

The next Prompt is: Resolute Role-Playing!

As previously mentioned, this year [and possibly continuing years], we will have a scaling reward system [not a raffle] for Prompt participation. See the prompt's details for more information! 

This month #768 Secretarybird and #263 Maple Pumpkin Latte were voted in as our Spotlight characters!

This past month the PHP for the website was fully updated, so hopefully that will enable more features in the future to be added too! We won't have to worry about the website going down in the meantime. We also added the new item- Crossbreed Elixirs. Did you get one from the Whiffling Pride Bags? 

Also- it is now ART FIGHT time once again! We've added a new prompt specifically for submitting Art Fight attacks on other users. This year we are gifting out +3 currency of your choice for making any attack on another World of Lingua user. This means if you draw say... a Pokemon character mewhaku owns, you'd still get the currency bonus! As always, if you RECEIVE an attack on a World of Lingua character during Art Fight, please submit it to the normal Off-Site Currency queue prompt. Remember- Art Fight art links aren't visible to non-logged in users, so please submit a link to say a Toyhouse upload of the art so our mods can view it normally. 

We had a wonderful Pride here on the World of Lingua and we hope you did as well! Good luck to everyone participating in Art Fight!

The next Prompt is: Our Dearest Companions [And Pets]!
