Staff Change
Bijou has stepped down from their position as Admin. We appreciate all they have done for the site and wish them the best. We don't foresee any major changes for the site itself as a result of this, but for the time being we've temporarily paused the Patreon. Current Patreon's won't be charged for for the near future.

Voucher Gifting
SA doesn't normally allow the transfer of vouchers, largely due to balance reasons. However, for just the month of December, we're opening transfers up. Players can transfer their vouchers by clicking the 'voucher' number on the sidebar and choosing transfer.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to check with the staff.

Monthly Events
Just in time for the holidays, it's begun to snow on Manta Carlos! From midnight on December first and onward, soft snow has begun to come down, and the forecast calls for plenty more as a storm system settles in just above the island.

For the month of December, the Weather Widget will be inaccurate. It is currently snowing on Manta Carlos.

We've opened up Secret Santa signups, a yearly event that matches characters up randomly to exchange gifts. Signups close December 7th, 11:59 PM.

Also, a reminder that the winter break begins on December 11th.

You can read all about these events in our monthly digest here.

Monthly Challenges
We're excited with the high participation numbers for our first two sets of monthly challenges, and we'll be keeping this format for the future. This month's challenges are Posting, Holidays, Mix and Match, Posting Fiend, and Want Ads.

You can check them all out over here.

Odds and Ends
Our Tag Guide has been updated and consolidated. Whether you're a new player or an old one, consider checking it out so that you can fully take advantage of all the useful functionality that tagging brings.​

December 2018 Mid-Month Announcements


News in Brief

  • [Events] The snow reaching Manta Carlos is magical in nature
  • [Events] The Tree Lighting Ceremony begins this afternoon! Remember to tag your secret Santa threads.
  • [Challenges] This month's challenges are focused on giving and receiving
  • [Misc] We've added a 'Retired Members' user group

No End to Snowfall
This year's unprecedented snowfall has been discovered to be magical in nature. The source is unknown, but as of right now attempts to make it stop have been unsuccessful. Watch in the coming days as the Manta Carlos government makes announcements as to steps being taken to find the culprit and reverse the snowfall before it becomes an even larger problem.

Monthly Events
The Tree Lighting Ceremony starts at 6PM today in the ICC, and runs for 24 hours. Come out for some family fun, place an ornament on the tree, and stick around for the lighting tomorrow.

If you're participating in this year's Secret Santa, be sure to get your threads up! Make sure to tag your thread 'Secret Santa' to help us organize who needs to be rematched.

Monthly Challenges
You can check out this month's challenges here.

Odds and Ends
We've added a User Group for Retired members: Old members of SA who want to still be a part of the site, but maybe don't have the time or muse to continue roleplaying with us. You can see all the details and request this status in Mod Requests.​
