Happy December to all! As we welcome in the holiday season I know many of us are busy with school, work, family, etc., and yet many of you still stick around make an effort with your activity. It really means a lot to us so thank you all. <3 This Newsletter isn't going to be the most interesting one, but there are still a few things to take note of. Remember to post your activity check (scale of 1-10) and cast your vote for our next MotM!

In-Game Season Change!Northbound loosely follows real life months and seasons, meaning that about every 3 months or so, the in-game season will change! This is to keep things simple while also ensuring that time is passing. From now on, all new threads that are created must take place in winter! If you are still participating in an old thread from autumn, you can keep rping in it as usual without having to change a thing. This only impacts future threads.
To get an idea of when future season changes will happen, here is a rough idea of what months will correspond with what seasons:
NB WINTER: December, January, Febuary
NB SPRING: March, April, May
NB SUMMER: June, July, August
NB AUTUMN: September, October, November
Winter Clean-Up
With the new in-game season and also the new year quickly approaching, it would be a good idea for Northbound to undergo a good rinse and scrub. The staff would greatly appreciate it if you went and checked out your character list in our Member Directory (link in the side menu) and posted in Moderation if you need anything updated/changed. This includes if you'd like to add or remove characters, change their affiliation, correct any errors, etc.
I'd also like to point everyone in the direction of the fairly new Pack Headquarters board, located directly under where you'd find Biographies. This is where pack business will be conducted from now on, and where you can now find the Guardians of Syndrana's ranks and census threads! Please go check those out if you have characters in the GoS pack and make sure all the information there is accurate. If it isn't, use the Maintenance thread found in GoS' sub board to report anything that needs correcting.
Create-A-Pack System and Map Expansion
I know these are anticipated updates, and I just wanted to let everyone know that they are still very much in the works! The new site map is under construction and should be released in the coming weeks, after which will follow the new system that will allow members to create their own packs.
If you'd like a little sneak peak of some of the recent work that's been happening on the map, open the spoiler below. c;
More info on these will follow soon, but for now I'll say this... save up your points, kids.
