QUICK UPDATES
YO HO HO!! It's our third month and second round of apps!! We hope everyone had fun with the Halloween event! This month there won't be a big event, but we will have an open log after apps are processed.
We have updated the Calendar for important dates, but here is a quick heads up on what to expect this month:
The Manta Board has been posted with new and updated quests! We have a few fun quests where the armadas can clash, especially with a new island expedition with a few relics and artifacts.
Our Rewards page has been updated with a few new things for the month! Some limited seasonal items for November as well as a revamp of one of the categories to include residence and business rewards! Read the specific section for more details. Since we realize we didn't advertise it well, we will remove all of October's Limited Time rewards after a week, but they may appear again in the future in some shape or form.
December will be check-in only!! This is to help accommodate seasonal holiday chaos and give us a bit of a break, too. Those who manage usual AC will earn a free AC pass for 2024. Details on how that will work will be discussed next month.

AC RESULTS
Here are the results for our latest AC round!
Velvet Crowe |lordofcalamity
Barnabas Tharmr |wodenworhteweos
Our player cap is currently at 30/65, which means we have 35 slots open. For this app round we temporarily upped our cap to 65 so we'll see where we are at the start of December to determine whether we up the cap to 65 again or not.

CREWS & SHIPS
As we said before, players can now start working on organizing and plotting out making their own crews and getting their ships! OOCly we'll have a designated recruiting section on the CR Workship where players can either 1) recruit characters for crews or 2) make an ad looking to join.
For those looking to acquire a ship for their crews ICly, this can be done at your own pace. Stealing ships is an option, but you'll need mod approval so we can work out logistics regardless if successful or if planned for failure. For those who want to do it "properly" via a quest to get materials and have the leviathan make it, this can be handwaved, but we can also create a quest tailored to the group. Other methods are also available and we allow players to be creative! Such as finding one, rebuilding from a wreckage, purchasing from an NPC, some kind of trade—whatever you can think of. These will still need mod approval and some kind of effort (no, a ship can't just fall into their hands!!), and we do want to keep track of who is doing what, so we'll need everyone to sign up regardless of success or failure.
For either option, sign up here.

HOUSING AND BUSINESSES
As characters become more established in the world, we've decided to include some new rewards to help players who may want to work towards bigger goals for their characters!
We have recategorized the "Ships & Island Upgrades" section to "Ships & Residence Upgrades". Now players can use their reward points to earn towards housing or business permits.
Island upgrades will still be in this category as they still count as "residence."

OPEN LOG
Just like last time, we'll have an open log that will feature some "current happenings" as a result of last month's Ghoul's Moon events. There will be three sections set on each of the three major leviathans. We won't go into too much detail here, but here's a super brief overview of what to expect:
There will be a link out to the MANTA board instead of including it in the log.
» Eltrut: Eltrut's pumpkin shell needs to come off, so it's harvest time! Eltrut and the Naughtilust are also still recovering from the ghost ship's attack, so there will be efforts made to create remedies for them.
» Elah: Turkeys.
Also the research institutions are vigorously studying the tombstone relic that was recovered from the ghost ship, hoping to find what, how, and why the ghost ship managed to appear.
» Nogard: A monster hunting competition is underway, with big game on the list. The prize itself is not only fame, but the materials and meat salvaged from the beasts will be worth quite a pretty dubloon.

LAST WORDS
And that's it! If you have any questions, feel free to comment here. All quest-related questions should be posted to the Manta Board post.
no subject
1) Because the pieces are broken, they have become inert and will not react to any blood of any kind.
2) There are a few sigils and symbols that were noted or taken pictures of by those who were more interested in "studying" the ship while others were fighting everything else, however researching into this at the moment is difficult as there is a lockdown on the very archives and buildings that could lend answers due to the Gallows incident. So the answer is yes, it's possible! But it's "locked away" for now and another opportunity will be given later.
