Not to take away from Heron's DRAGON-awesomness, but after some feedback and admin discussion, as you can see there have been a few changes around Sundered.

First off: I would like to say hello to our new members! Scarheart, Cassandra, Gwydion, and Peng, welcome to Sundered! I hope you have fun here with us, and please if you have any questions or comments don't hesitate to PM an admin about it.

Second off: DON'T PANIC! Your threads have not been lost or deleted (as if we would do that!). It just came to our attention that the Civilization area (now known as Life Around Haven) needed some more categories, and that there was some confusion between what exactly the difference between 'Civilization' and 'Adventure' was.

Now, I will fully admit, this is mostly my mistake, not the other admins. I let things get sloppy during the first month, in favor of getting things operational. That includes allowing bondings to run kinda any which way, and blurred the lines between Normal RPs and Adventure RPs, when there is really a difference.

Normal RPs are the type where you get a partner, or make one open for anyone, with no set posting schedule or anything more formal. It's a casual thing that can run for months at a time, with a reward of a lot of fun (hopefully) and 2 Bonus Points for every 5 IC posts you make, but little else.

Adventure RPs, on the other hand, are much closer to a Bonding without the Shinies to Bond. There are stated rules, posting schedule, a generalized end time, and at the end a reward for those who participate. 1-4 BP, varying on how well everyone did, and how well they followed the rules, is typical. Sometimes these rewards may be more RP elements, such as magical items that your character will have from then on, and sometimes, rarely, creatures can be up for the offering but for the most part your characters will go in with no concept that any such reward awaits. The Bond Holder also gets 5 BP for hosting the thread. As in Bondings, when you post to join you are accepting the rules set forth by the Adventure Holder, and they have the right to request admin assistance should someone repeatedly break their rules.

Now again, I admit I let casual RPs go into the Adventure area, because I just wanted to make the site functional, and figured I could finesse things later. I apologize whole-heartedly if this causes any confusion. I am going to put a Pinned Topic about the differences in both areas, and have moved 'Casual RPs' to their corresponding 'Live Around Haven' area. This will not affect anything other than just where the threads are located on the site, and where such future threads should go.

Also, if you have noticed I have added an 'Adventures' area to the Bondings list. These will link to available Adventures that you might want to partake in! Remember, time is in flux around Sundered, so you can get into anything and everything at once without worrisome time travel! (Lets not have anyone meeting themselves... unless the Illogical Field wants you to. Then there's really nothing we can do.)

If there are any questions, you can post here, or PM me. I will try to answer any questions.
Note: Until further stated, Scarheart, Belial, and Cassandra have standing permission to powerplay Raferties or Anari.
