Introduction:
Heya! Panther here, filling in for Dragon, I’ll try and be just as good a laureate as he is!
Good evening! And I’m glad to see you all here at Dark Moon Weyr! Newcomers, Oldtimers and all other sorts *coughakkicough* are more than welcomed here. We pride ourselves on being a small – but perfectly formed – RP group. So, come and join in on the fun! We’re always looking for new blood, so if you know anyone, give them a shout! And we can make Dark Moon thrive.
Dark Moon has undergone a few changes recently, but, due to perseverance, Dark Moon is keeping going. Thanks to all of you for keeping us alive
A special thanks to members:
Akki, Dragon, Hawk, Kami, Panther, T for their diligent efforts towards improving the site
And a special thanks to Shekru! Thanks to whom we Finally have some dragon images.
An enormous hailed welcome to our newest members!
Catalena, Minajerie, Nabisco, Seneth, Shekru, Tenebrae, Xennai & Zen!
We’re obviously doing quite well with the recruiting! So – keep it up!
And to our New members – I sincerely hope you enjoy it here.
And Thank you once again.
Unfortunate News:[/b]
I am incredibly sorry to say, that for the forseable future, our beloved Wolf, will not be RPing with us. This is due to some real life issues, but she promises that she will return as soon as possible!
So, for now, we will strive on with heavy hearts, and keep moving as best we can.
To those of you who are worrying about Wolf’s upcoming rising and the loss of our junior weyrwoman, and consequently clutch – we will be arranging for a Transfer clutch to come to us. So you will all still get the joys of a hatching.
Also, keep your eyes peeled on the gold front
Current Goings On:
Something wicked this way comes (Exile plot begin) ~
K’ris, our young Hawk’s Eye weyrling, is lingering in the hallways, appreciating the scenery, Kira, our Copper hatchling bondee, is in a small world of her own, but when a shady figure approaches, what’s going to happen? Can little K’ris save the day?
Knife To Know You ~ Wittily titled, one of our newest member’s introduces her two characters, Andilay and Rayn, but two female swords for hire? Shards who’ll be brave enough to chance upon their company and give them a good welcoming?
A New Friend? ~ Awkwardness incarnate! Journeyman Tanner Kalyr and Candidate Zigana are possibly too similar, but hopefully they’ll learn to relax soon enough!
A Quiet Entrance ~ Young Karstag has just arrived at the Weyr, and he is simply appreciating the beauty of the structure.
When the Tanner hall come's a-visiting~ Young Journeyman Tanner has arrived at the Weyr with the company of another Tanner, they’re here to help with the clean up after the hurricane, repairing hides, and fixing straps and such like. He never imagined though he would meet a Master of his craft, right here at the weyr!
Forest in Flight ~ When the green Priath, bonded of Annassa – comes to rise, a flock of blues and a bronze arrive to chase, but, why are both Akki and her brother V’ian there? This could be interesting.
Various Clean up threads ~ The hurricane hit hard! And the Riders are still working their butts off trying to get the bowl, and the local holds all prim and back into shape
Hot Heat and Wintry Water ~ What could feel better than a good bathe in the Tyuru Lake? Shared in the company of candidates? Feel free to go for a splash!
Upcoming Plots:
Obviously Wolf’s departure has impacted the line of our plots, so, we shall be trying our best to keep as many going as possible.
Exile
Transfer Clutch entry
Homecoming of a Sea Holder
Send them Back to bring them forward
Transfer Clutch Hatching
Enter the Little
SITE UPDATES
We’re using this sudden surge in activity to have a look at a few places that have been neglected of recent. So, as the fader says, if you see threads disappearing, changing, or the likes, don’t worry, its just us playing with your heads
Weyr Description ~ any inaccuracies have been removed, this is the true depiction of the weyr we call home!
The Dragons of Dark Moon ~ Doesn’t include our member Dragon unfortunately! You can’t have one of those! But it does now include pictures! A general scale of growth – no pun intended. The dragons are now arranged by size order. So, from the largest Gold to smallest White, they’re all there.
:Warning: The information in this is pending for change! It won’t be a drastic change, but hopefully we’ll elaborate a little on them for you.
Formatting Help ~Have you ever had that incredibly vexing moment, where you want to do something on Proboards, but the site seems to want to defy you in any way it possibly can? Well, this is basically a bit of help for you guys on what proboards wants you to put in your post to make it look a certain way!
Holds ~ The board’s not quite readyyet, but when its done, it gives a wonderful view into Dark Moon, its surrounding Holds, and as to how Pern exists around it! Give it a look, its good for character building and stuff!
Character Creation Help ~ Again, another board to try and help you out, I’ve gone through each field in detail. Hopefully there should be something inspiring in there! If you do need anymore help, just give one of us a shout, and we’ll help you out
The Marked Board ~ This is not the place you want your characters to go! I’ve basically spent quite a bit of time, weeding out the characters from the Pending board, because, some of them have been pending for a VERY long time.
How it works: If you character is in the pending board for a month or over, they will be marked with the
Tag, by either myself or one of the others on the moderation team – this will be given on its moving to the marked thread. They will exist on here for two weeks before they are permanently deleted from the board. We do give you warning. I e-mail the inactive members, and PM those who’s simply forgotten. Excuses are taken into account, and I will then post up the players explanation, and extend the date that they are due to be deleted. I’m a reasonable kitty, and I won’t just delete them. But we need limits. And I will enforce them, tooth and claw. So, for pity sake, just post them where they need to go in the main character board eh?
Approval Stamps ~ In an effort to keep you guys getting your characters all created and approved, and to alleviate some of Hawk’s pressures, we’re introducing a stamp approval system.
One approval from Hawk is still an approved, but, two stamps from any combination of Akki, Tenebrae or Myself(Panther) will be sufficient to equal one of Hawk's.
The Wher Hold of Caspian ~ Caspian now has Wher hold! And there is a gold there already – mine own Danae and golden Danask are the leading pair there – we’ve got a few more whers in for creation, and still lots more handler position up for grabs! So hurry hurry! Candidates and Handlers all waiting for you!
How odd? Finding problems right clicking on either the art&writing board, or on the Information board? Well there's a perfectly good reason for it! It has been disabled. It's a small effort to stop people from hijacking any images or wording from the site so, it protects you and us jut a little bit more.
Thanks! Hope I've covered everything!
~Pan! Over and Out! *salutes*
