UPDATE {January 31, 2010 (5:41 PM MST)}:
And we are finished! Or sort of... I don't know, I'm still pretty wary from the looks of it, so if you see any bugs, please, don't hesitate to let us know.
Uhm... OH YEAH - PMs... You don't see them because they need to be accessed at the bottom of the screen now, down in the infocenter. Not sure if Blizz was going to do anything about that, but, well, we'll see, I guess.
Welcome back HT :x Hope you like the new shinies :3! We've got canons up, ads out, steaks cookin' - LET'S DO THIS :|
~ AGENT PUG
UPDATE {January 30, 2010 (2:38 PM MST)}:
Not quiet done yet. We still have a few things to fix up and update.
Luck is working on images, Eeva is doing... whatever she is doing, likely sleeping still. I am waiting on luck. Sable is updating threads....tediously.
In other news, Sable is also no longer Directory staff, no no, She is now an admin. Congrats Sable! That's all right now folks.
~ This is Blizz, signing out.
UPDATE {January 30, 2010 (6:50 AM EST)}:
IKNORITE? Fantastic new skin, ain’t it? BD
Most of the thanks for this goes to our fabulous new admin (who was always kind of a staff member) Blizz and to Luck. Really, I’m just here admiring it with everyone else. And losing my train of thought every five seconds. What was I talking about?
...Oh right, new stuff: things aren’t quite done at this point, so we will be announcing things as the come along. There’s going to be some changes in staff organization (nothing bad I assure you). We’re gonna fix all the little things that we haven’t. But we are tired. And yeah.
Roleplay Kiosk (3 sub-boards) From applications to classifieds. Looking to create a shop? Or maybe you just want to find a decent roleplay partner? This is the place to go.
Chat (3 sub-boards) Come and discuss anything and everything--spam should be kept to a minimum. What qualifies as spam? Everything not pertaining to dignified discussion, duh.
The Three-Ring Circus (3 sub-boards) Monty Python and others may not like spam, but spam is unavoidable. Here's a place where you can revel in such tendencies and post threads that have no "real" value to your heart's content. Found something hilarious on Youtube? Show it off here!
Arts and Literature (3 sub-boards) This board serves as an entire archive of members' artwork. Feel free to post images, manipulations, poetry and other works you consider "art" here. (Yes, even photography!)
The Grand City of Ba Sing Se (4 sub-boards) Ba Sing Se is the titanic capital of the Earth Kingdom, encompassing nearly all of the northeast corner of the country.
The Si Wong Desert (3 sub-boards) Otherwise known as the "Desert of the Dead", the Si Wong Desert holds the driest, hottest environment of the world and is really nothing more than miles of barren sand.
Heart of the Land (3 sub-boards) The heart of the Earth Kingdom. There are no shorelines around, as one should expect from a kingdom of earth - but many hot springs and lakes dot the late around it.

The Fire Nation Capital (3 sub-boards) The continent is the homeland, inhabited by the Fire Lord himself, and housing thousands of locals - as well as war refugees.
The Inlands (3 sub-boards) The innermost Islands of the Fire Nation are more industrialized than the outermost Islands out to the East. With the exception of Ember Island, being on the very edge, it's easy enough to say that industrialization is a very popular trend around here!
The Edge of the Fire Nation (3 sub-boards) West to the Earth Kingdom lies the beginning of a series of islands inhabited by the Fire Nation. Among these islands are little villages - all governed by a single leader appointed by the Fire Lord himself.
Continent of the Earth Kingdom (4 sub-boards) The Southernmost part of the Earth Kingdom is inhabited by many small villages - most them secluded little towns governed by a single appointed leader.
Whale Tail Island (2 sub-boards) a large island situated off of the southern coast of the Earth Kingdom. The island gets its name from its distinctive shape, which on maps bares an uncanny resemblance to a whale's tail. While little is known about the island or its inhabitants, Water Tribe sailing lore makes the claim that whales can never be found anywhere near the island due to thinking that it's the actual tail of the largest whale in the world. The white coloring of Whale Tail Island on the world map suggests it is or once was Air Nomad territory.
The South Pole (3 sub-boards) The southernmost part of the world is home to many arctic animals and peoples accustomed to the snowy tundra. Due to the secluded human habitations, it's hard enough to keep in contact with the various tribes mottled over the area. Rumor has it that Chief Leader of the Southern Water Tribe is working on uniting his people, and rebuilding the tribe as a central community.
Character Journals Finally, somewhere to put your junk, eh? This is that place where your characters come to spill out their sob stories. Record your characters' thoughts day by day, week by week, whenever!
NOTE that all posts in this thread must be In-Character, and must abide to what's already been role-played. This is not a silly OOC haven, and should not be treated as such.
It's basically where you go when you have nowhere to post. Good character development!
Letters Need to send a hawk across the country or a carrier cardinal down the street? Well this is the place. Any and all letters and their responses should be posted here.
NOTE that all posts in this thread must be In-Character, and must abide to what's already been role-played. This is not an OOC board.
Want to know how it all began? Where it's going? Where it's gone? Aside from the handy-dandy new timeline, we've a written documentation that'll put you on the edge of your seats ;)
