OTMs, BTP ++

Congratulations Alice and Lorcan!

Of the Month Winners for October!

Wanted to try something different for the avatars for fun~

Alice is, in general, just a cool cat to be around. On top of being very active IC (ahem, WOTM for September) she's usually always livening up the slack chat with her antics. She has a great sense of humor (and she's also hilarious) and seems to know just how to make new members feel at home when the pop in the chat. In just six months Alice has become such an essential part of the RoW family, and I definitely can't imagine it without her now. Congrats, Alice!

Lorcan is the pack wolf we all aspire for our characters to be: even though he's the newest member of the Monadnock wolves he is completely dedicated to bettering his pack through participating in scouting missions or learning how to become a healer. The amazing love-hate relationship between Lorcan and Askan is some of the best reading material on the site, and I definitely can't wait to see that relation deepen as Drestig's pack rises fully in the south. Only two years old, Lorcan shows a lot of promise and we can't wait to see how he develops over the winter and what the tensions of breeding season might bring.

And congratulations to Hearthwood River for winning Pack of the Month! They made 14 posts between their pack thread and other pack activities in the month of September. Remember, the only posts that count towards PoTM now are things in the pack thread (small interactions) or threads marked with the "pack" thread icon (meant for threads that contain a majority of members).

Goodbye, BTP

Over the last couple of days you may have noticed Broken Timber Pines has disbanded due to being unable to meet the games minimum requirements for sustaining a pack. They were founded in May of 2015 and fell on some rough times recently with the loss of their central leader: Iopah. They will be missed, but we highly encourage all members involved in this news to take it as a chance for character development!
