We would like to begin this by saying hello, welcome to our first Monthly bulletin!
We're hoping to do these every month as the group progresses, to explain what's happened, what our plans are, and any new information that's come to fruition! 

We have a couple pretty big announcements this month, so please read through them!

First up, we're giving everyone a reminder that our first event is still ongoing! We encourage everyone to participate in this if they can!
This will be our only "advertising" campaign, and we'd like to get as many members during this period as possible! 

Secondly, our Featured Characters activity has undergone some changes!
We have changed the bonus for drawing a featured character from earning a bonus half of your total to outright doubling your MC earned! This means if you draw an image that earns 50 MC, it will be doubled when drawing a featured character, and earn 100 MC instead!
We have also added an extra incentive. If enough people enter to the point there is double the amount of entries than the amount of featured characters ( three characters, six entries right now), we will be rolling a random item from one of our shops to give out to all participants that month! 

We would also like to give a big hello to our three featured characters this month, Alkina, Maisie, and Akira!

Third, we have made changes to the "rooming/housing" system.
For the sake of the group's longevity, and the mods' sanity, we have decided we will no longer be doing individual rooms within our housing buildings. Members will still need their characters to be sorted into a building (Koko Commons, Lele Lodges, Bulu Boardings, or Fini Flats), but now they will not need to worry about roommate limits or reserving spaces! We encourage members to still interact with those you are housed with, and of course, personal lore can always dictate who is staying in what rooms with who, we will just no longer be "officially" tracking this aspect! 

Fourth, the Lower Labs have refreshed their stock! 
If rumors serve correctly, it seems the lab is offering a Variant Guide, a premixed DNA Splicer Pair, and a Grafted Bonsai!
A reminder that you must have the Sample Collector from our Raid Battle in order to access these items!

We have also made some small changes to the front page of the world. The text for the featured character page has been moved + updated and a link to the Lower Labs has been put on the front page.

With this, our monthly announcements have concluded. Thank you for your time!
