• First off, AC has completed and has been processed. AC is now open for March. March's AC Post can be found here.
  
  
• Characters removed via AC this month:
  
  Nyx Ulric (sirnyxalot)
  Momose (rerevale)
  Tsunayoshi Sawada (goeshyper)
  
  
  
• Applications are currently open. There are 24 slots for incoming new players. They will close March 7th, 9 PM EST. Current players can submit an app for a second character at any time during this period, regardless of the player cap.
  
  
• We're currently working on setting up a page for player-run character resources (such as the Notice Board and the Defense Force); when that has been properly set up, we'll announce it. We hope that it will serve as a good place to gather helpful information for all of the players in the game that is currently being handled by other players. If there are any suggestions or requests on how you would like to see that laid out, please don't hesitate to let us know!

• Due to the efforts of a group of characters in the game, the forest seems to have been...stalled. It hasn't been pushed back, not completely, but it doesn't seem to be advancing further. For now, it will remain there, with the same side-effects as it had last month if too much time is spent near it.
  
• As ever in intro months, this month's plot will come in two parts -- there will be a smaller event to go along with the intro log, and then a more full-fledged event at the end of the month.

• Quests for March are now up! The OOC breakdown of said quests can be found below, as with last month. All quests have been posted ICly to the Quest Forum Post. Only quests for this month can be turned in for a reward.
  
  
• The Quest Reporting comment can be found here. As ever, please respond to that comment once the quest itself has been completed. When reporting the quest, please state what quest it is in the subject line; we've realized that that helps us a lot with keeping track over the past few months!
  
  
• Please be aware that Quests must be reported by the end of the month; this is because we use what quests are completed to keep track of what colors are restored for the next month!

This month’s color changes are as follows (color changes can be tracked at the Color Timeline):

Color Gains:

• For completing all of the quests last month, characters have restored the color of sea foam. Hmm... maybe the next target for colors is the harbor and ocean beyond?
  
  
• If your character has a color log thread from the month of February, please go here to see what your character restored!

Color Losses:

• From drops: Ketchup, Brussel sprouts, arrow shafts, chickens, church altar, satyr, brandy, nutmeg, chestnuts, spiders, black chickens, acorns, library shelves, lobsters, butterflies
