Activity Rewards
Sadly, no one was active in the TH portion of our community. So... no activity rewards this time. I will award singular Lightbulbs to active members in the future though! And maybe once I'm back home, I can foster more activity...

Roadmap
So now that the year fades out and a new one begins, you might be interested in learning what I've planned for the group and species' future! And phew, there are plans - oh so many of them! Some will have to wait until late January/early February, when I can return home (to a stable and not highly limited internet connection! ;A;) but there are some that I can already tackle. Some I will work on on the weekends, when I have the opportunity to move to a better spot for online stuff during the day, some I will approach with the help of my lovely co-admin :devparziivale:.
Owner Registry
I really want to keep tabs on who owns a Calyptra, so this is pretty high on my priority list and I planned on starting with it today. Instead of making several lists for the different platforms, I will try to put the registry into one single place. Likely a google doc or pastebin. If I don't manage to finish all of this today or tomorrow, I likely will in a week.
Communal Characters/Communal Character Artists
I am still working on the system for the CoCha Artists, but currently we are three people who can work on this. I'm going to put up polls for franchises very soon, since :devParziivale: and I have decided to start out small and see how well the system will work as we go. There will be five different franchises elected, and one character from each of those franchises will be drawn and published as CoCha. We will likely repeat this process once we're done with the first batch. If everything goes well, we should have some first babies to provide to the public by the end of January.
Lore
I am basically already sitting on entries on the origin of Calyptra Magic, Reproduction, Decorative Magic and Glamour and Shapeshifting. Some of these might be up before the year is over, some might have to wait until next week. I'm also mulling over if I can find a better way of collecting and presenting this information than a Stash Folder - maybe a wiki? I'm open for suggestions!
Mascot Refs
Coffee and Theo are all over the goshdarn group yet have no own refs yet. ;A; This is especially unpleasant because the mascots are an additional way for people to participate in some events even if they have no Calyptra yet! Coffee is about halfway done at the moment, Theo still needs to be drawn from the ground up - I will probably not manage to finish them before February though because I put most other things first.
Events for the Future
I will likely announce the event for January tomorrow. That will be an activity event, meaning that everyone who participates will get a small Lightbulb reward! So keep an eye on the Events Journal when the new year has begun!
Upload Backlog
I doubt that I will get to this before February, urgh... uploading characters takes lots of bandwidth and I hate halfassing it. So I'll probably wait until I can safely access a normal connection again. :/ You will get to see some pretty darn cute adoptables then though!

Well, that should just about cover everything. I wish you all a happy new year, have fun tonight and arrive safely in 2018! C:
