Tutorial TutorialGame Updates
I've made a few minor fixes to the Games this weekend for you all!
Paper Airplane should now keep track of your tree count even if your Kith has over 400 ability points in Speed, Guard, and Power.
Stumped should now display Iris if you have no Active Kith or if your Kith still can't be detected by the game. I've deleted the secondary Stumped game since this should now work for everyone!
Memory now allows you to fast-track to the level of your choice by clicking on the level number. Hopefully this helps with that occasional level-freezing bug, which I still have yet to figure out. :)
Site Contest!
Oooh! A Site Contest? That's right, it's your time to shine!
Look at all these amazing categories: Avatar, Kith, Craft, Game, Gallery, Art, and Writing! Enter into any one of these fabulous contests to the sound of delighted Cheers! That's right, winners will be selected by number of Cheers and given the exclusive In the Spotlight Achievement! Not only that, but winners may even show up in a future Spotlight feature on the home page so that everyone can see just how amazing you are!
I can hardly contain my excitement! The glitz! The glam! The gossip! This is going to be one beautiful week, my friends!
Now, don't forget to read the rules first~ I heard that the last disqualified entrant was so heartbroken that they were never heard from again! What do you mean, there weren't any entries until now? I'm only saying what I've heard...

Shop Updates
Ahem, ahem! Students, I have wonderful news for you all. My Office finally has the organization it truly needs! You can now sort items by Kith, Quest, and Apparel categories to find what you’re looking for more easily. Included in our new stock is a set of Letters of Recommendation entrusted to me by Princess Celariel of the Enchanted Forest.
It’s also been brought to my attention that some of you wished for a record of our Forum posts. Take a look at our lovely addition to the shops! You should now see a Forum History tab in everyone’s shop that displays their posts.
Ah, but that’s not all! To reward our most fully devoted students, each shop now has a secret Devoted Shelf that will reveal itself only to the most dedicated, studious, hard-working questers! Believe me when I say that an entire secondary stock is well worth the enormous effort.
Now, it seems some of these Quests have become a bit too simplistic. I’m afraid the Hourly Quests that require a Forum post have led to some spam on the Forums, so we are eliminating those Hourly Quests. The only exceptions are Jay’s Rules of Conversation Quest to post in the Chatterbox Forum, and Iris’ New Beginnings Quest to post in the Welcome to Hope Forum. Not to fear! Each of the deleted Quests has been replaced with a brand-new Hourly Quest!
Completing Quests can now unlock new Achievements based upon your reputation. Can you collect them all? Anyone who has a higher tier should earn the lower-tier Achievements at the same time.
Three cheers for such excellent improvements! Hip, hip, hooray! Did you know you can now see a list of users who have Cheered for a topic by clicking the Cheer icon?
New Recipes: Muffin Tin!
You say muffin-top like it's a bad thing...
I'm not sure about all of you, but I'm the kind of person that has to eat breakfast on the run. No time for pancakes or cereal with my busy schedule. You know what I do have time for? Muffins. Portable, complete, and with lots of variety in flavors. Muffins are practically the perfect breakfast food for me. And everyone’s been doing a whole lot more travel since Lycus found that crazy forest, so I thought I'd share my favorite recipes with you.
In the Blueberry Muffin you've got a nice, moist muffin that just about anyone would enjoy. The Apple Muffin is good for mornings when you might be worried about blueberry stains but still want a simple flavor. The Chocolate Muffin is my go-to on mornings when I need an extra kick in the pants to get going. Yes, it still counts as breakfast! Oh, hush, if you’re looking for the healthier kind I've got the Ginger Carrot Muffin, which even Piper will eat without complaint.
Speaking of Piper - I can already feel her breathing down my neck - so yes, I have cupcake recipes too. Even I’m guilty of an early morning leftover cupcake or two, but please try to limit your Frosting intake. To warm up your cupcake skills, start with some delicious Yellow Cupcakes, great for practicing your frosting skills on when there are so many around. Once you’re comfortable with that, you can move up to the more flavorful Strawberry Cupcake! Mmm… Or, if you’d rather forget the frosting altogether, there is the tangy Lemon Zest Cupcake which has its own challenges thanks to the candied lemons. And of course, for all you chocolate fiends, we have the Chocolate Cupcake that I personally like to decorate with some Heebie-Jeebies.
All of these will need a proper Muffin Tin to make, despite the name 'cup' cake. You can swing by the General Store and pick up all these recipes. But don't over feed Piper sweets. I know she is going to go begging... Same goes for your Kith.
