ADOPT BATCH: SPACE & TIME

ADOPT BATCH - SPACE & TIME


A wave's propagation. A star's birth. A current's flow.

Along with its intellect, humanity's curiosity has driven it to conquer unknown fronts and unveil answers to deep mysteries, but with each discovery made, our knowledge of what's "true" and "unalterable" falters and fades a little more. It's only a matter of time before our findings begin to challenge the very nature of who we are-- an answer we may only find if we learn to fully harness the vast power of the human mind.


JELLO EVERYJEL! Physics has always been a field of study I found extremely fascinating, so I'm super excited to present this batch of adopts themed after it!

We've got 16 adopts in the main batch -- 8 crossbreeds and 8 regular jellies -- along with an additional raffle! Quite a bit bigger than our last release. With how expansive physics is as a field, there's quite a variety of designs here... a little bit for all sorts of tastes!

Thanks a whole bunch to all the artists who worked hard to make this batch a reality!

NEWS MOMENT: FEBRUARY 2023 (HIATUS)

Posted 1 year, 4 months ago by kirchhoff

jelveil2_2.gif


JELLO EVERYJEL!


Reusing some graphics from last month's bulletin. Being resourceful like a king.
There's some important stuff regarding a break I'll be taking that I'll talk about at the end of this newsletter.


FEBRUARY PROMPT: SOLITUDE


Untitled463_20230201232604.pngIt's Valentine's month! I'm sure we'd all like to be celebrating a special day with a special someone... but we're 1-800-SCYPH. We don't do that over here. We have no time for love and all that.

I recently got into Rainbow Six Siege and I was going to do a prompt somewhat relating to it, but some people in Jelcord reminded me that this was a very special month of love (and also of my mom and sister's birthdays) so I should probably do something a little more...  current. Consider yourself safe for another month. But I'll be getting there...

February's prompt is...
SOLITUDE!

Did your Jelveil take a pill to try and get more people to like them but failed? Are they simply too busy drawing to hang out with anyone? Do they think they're too good for other people? Whatever the case, just draw them alone-- NO LOVE OR FRIENDSHIP ALLOWED!

[CLICK HERE FOR MORE DETAILED INFORMATION ON PROMPTS!]


FEBRUARY GUEST ARTIST APPLICATIONS


Untitled451_20221231191145.png

Want to sell some jellies of your own? Well, look no further! I'll close applications in around 5 days or so. I'm going to be going on a break myself (more on that later), so our mods will be handling all this stuff.

We're super relaxed with our GA deadlines. There's no hard "due date", just end your term whenever you feel but try to keep it around a month. All profits you earn are yours to keep, but it's up to you what kind of adopts you'd like to make-- raffles, BTAs, OTAs, anything goes! There's no need to donate-- it's encouraged and would be lovely, sure, but it's not needed.

Making one adopt grants you a common at the end of your term, two grants you uncommon, three grants you rare.

[APPLY HERE!]


SECRET FILES RELEASED: UNDERTOW LOYALTY RETAINERS


Untitled450_20221231190159.png

New content, huzzah!

It looks like Virgil was hard at work breaching into databases he has no business poking around in... anyway, looks like we've got some new content to dig into. And yes, this also means I've fleshed out the Undertow more, and you can now add your Jelveils to it! This new lore update comes with a nice description of the technology the Undertow uses to keep its Jelveil employees doing what it wants them to do, and a visual diagram to aid with your art.

In any case, a direct link to the file is below... but it doesn't look like Virgil has figured out how to actually find where the files are usually accessed (aside from the direct link I provided below). It's hidden somewhere in the World!

There's some other stuff he'll be working to uncover/I'll be working to make, so keep an eye out for all that someday...

[ACCESS THE FILES]


LITTLE MISCELLANEOUS UPDATES


Ain't much I have to say here, just that the free turn-in event is now closed. Thanks so much to everyone that turned in a design; they were all wonderful to see!

Also, I've handed out all the rewards for the Trivia Night mini-event that happened a while ago! Sorry that took me so long, but it's done now. Check the bank spreadsheet to see what balance you have now!

Also also, having adopts announced by bulletin whenever they get made was the most popular option from our last bulletin asking you how you'd like for adopts to be announced. We'll be doing that from now on!


CLOSING REMARKS-- HIATUS NOTICE


Untitled450_20221231190255.pngI'm officially and completely done with college applications and I totally kicked my finals in the butt. I've ended my semester on a fairly high note and I'm satisfied with my accomplishments... but I'm REALLY DARN TIRED.

The time and energy that goes into managing this species and creating new content for it is a lot more taxing than people think. Mentally, I'm not doing so hot, to put it lightly. For the sake of my own well-being, I'm going to be taking a break.

This'll mean that I'll be taking my foot off the pedal for all of the administrative stuff (advertising adopts, approving designs, managing the shop, etc), at least for the month or so. I'm still going to hang around the community and all that, and I'll be coming back, of course! It'll just... take me a while.

In my absence, our awesome and cool moderation team will be filling in for that role. I'll be sorting stuff out with them behind the scenes and all that, but for this month at least, do expect some delays for shop purchases and all that jazz since it's usually me handling it.

In terms of all the creative stuff, I'll be working on it on-and-off whenever I feel inspired to continue. DON'T expect anything to come out of me for now, and don't expect anyone to fill in for me either. I'm a one-man-army handling the content creation for the species, and I plan to have it stay that way. 

I do have new stuff planned, including the corrosion traits I mentioned in the past and a brand-new species that'll be a part of the Jellyverse, but I can't give you an estimate on when they'll be out. I'll work on them when I do.

I plan to return around early March, when I make the newsletter bulletin.

I'm going to be clearing out my commissions, as well as working on a personal project (that I'd appreciate if you checked out, thanks in advance!) as I just take the month off to relax and such and focus on just getting some rest. 

Thank you so much for all the patience and understanding!

I'll see you later!

OPEN ADOPTS + POLL

How should we advertise adopts on this World?

5 Votes ONLY advertise at the end of maintenance/newsletter bulletins

44 Votes Advertise whenever the adopts decide to exist
11 Votes ONLY advertise PAID adopts at the end of maintenance/newsletter bulletins, free adopts are advertised whenever they’re posted

JELLO EVERYJEL!


We have a LOT of adopts open… and a question we want to ask you. Check it out below!

QUESTION TIME!


How would you want adopts to be advertised in this World?

I originally didn’t plan on doing this, as I figured some people wouldn’t appreciate the spam, but considering how only a portion of people are in the Discord server (where adopts are actually advertised by me), and an even smaller number of people with the ping active, not a lot of people see the species adopts. 

To be fairer to the artists and let more people know there’s even something going on, I figured it might be worth to start advertising here on TH too (as a lot of other species do, I’ve noticed.)

Adopts can be pretty sporadic and they’re released… whenever our GAs decide to release them, but to give more structure and rhythm, I’ll give a few options. Not advertising at all isn’t one, sorry ;)

1. ONLY advertise at the end of maintenance/newsletter bulletins.

Simple, I’ll just tack on whatever adopts are still open to the end of a newsletter or maintenance bulletin. Like sponsored promotion at the end of a brochure, hah.

2. Advertise ONCE A WEEK (if there are open adopts that week)

At the end of each week (Saturday/Sunday) I’ll compile all the currently open adopts and I’ll throw them on a bulletin. Usually this won’t be attached to any maintenance or anything, but they may end up coinciding… unlikely, but I guess it could happen.

3. Advertise whenever the adopts decide to exist.

No set schedule or anything, whenever there’s a new adopt, there’s a new bulletin.

4. ONLY advertise PAID adopts at the end of maintenance/newsletter bulletins, free adopts are advertised whenever they’re posted.

Like option 1, except raffles and other freebies will be posted whenever they decide to exist and may occupy bulletins all to themselves.

Don’t worry, the formatting won’t stay this ugly forever. I’ll make the ads look nice!

Please vote on what option you’d like to see the most! Your vote is anonymous.

Of course, feel free to comment any thoughts.


THANK YOU!


NEWS MOMENT: HAPPY 2023!

Posted 1 year, 5 months ago by kirchhoff

jelveil2_2.gif


JELLO EVERYJEL!


I know it ain't 2023 just yet (at least for me), but I sure as hell don't wanna be doing this tomorrow.


JANUARY PROMPT


Untitled450_20221231190135.png2022 I'm sure has been a rough time for quite a few of us, so let's lighten up the mood!

We'll start 2023 off with something silly, so the new prompt is...
AYYYYYY MACARENA!

Are the 4th grade gym class dance session memories coming back?

In any case, it doesn't have to be the macarena. Any sort of dancing-- or even just having fun-- would work, honestly. Go wild! Have a good time!

[CLICK HERE FOR MORE DETAILED INFORMATION ON PROMPTS!]


FREE TURN-IN EVENT: EXTENSION


Untitled451_20221231190351.png

A few of our fellow jellies have requested more time for the free turn-in. Granted! The event's deadline has been extended to JANUARY 31, 2023, so you'll get pretty much all of January to design. Yay!

Also, for those unaware: a turn-in event is a period of time where you're allowed to make designs of a certain CS without requiring or consuming any tickets, turn them in (hence the name), and get them approved. Think of it like a free MYO event-- but you've already got the MYO, so just hit the road and get designing!

Again, we'd also appreciate any bumps on our advertising thread!

[CHECK THE EVENT OUT HERE!]


JANUARY GUEST ARTIST APPLICATIONS


Untitled451_20221231191145.png

Want to sell some jellies of your own? Well, look no further! Guest artist applications, after another month-long hiatus, are back open! I'll close applications in around 5 days or so.

We're super relaxed with our GA deadlines. There's no hard "due date", just end your term whenever you feel but try to keep it around a month. All profits you earn are yours to keep, but it's up to you what kind of adopts you'd like to make-- raffles, BTAs, OTAs, anything goes! There's no need to donate-- it's encouraged and would be lovely, sure, but it's not needed.

Making one adopt grants you a common at the end of your term, two grants you uncommon, three grants you rare.

[APPLY HERE!]


SECRET FILES RELEASED


Untitled450_20221231190159.pngIt looks like a few more files SCYPH.co was hiding from us have come to light.

Anyway, they were all pains in the ass to make because my computer video editing software is horribly out-of-date and on its last threads. Please watch them.

CLOSING REMARKS


Untitled450_20221231190255.pngUnfortunately, our moderator LyraDoodles has stepped down due to an increasingly busy schedule. She'll still be around but can't attend to moderation work, but we wish her the best luck nonetheless!

In any case, I've also been rather inactive myself-- didn't expect the workload I'd be dealing with over winter break, and it's about to come to a close... I'll copy-paste a message I sent in the Discord to let you know what's going on:

Once again— apologies for the inactivity. I seriously overestimated my own ability to perform, especially when given recent events and the fact that December’s just been hard on me in general. Thank you all so much for your continued patience— I can assure you that I am working on new content, it’s just coming slowly.

Aside from the stressor of college applications, I’m also just dealing with the burnout of pretty much everything that’s happened this year. We’ll see more stuff in future updates! I know I’ve been saying this for a while, but I promise you— I can’t say how fast it’ll come, but it’ll be done when it’s ready. Thank you!

Also, I'll get to updating rewards from trivia night soon.

I'll see everyjel next year!

JELLO EVERYJEL!


I've been wanting to do this for a while, so consider this a birthday special!


ARE YOU READY FOR... TRIVIA TIME?


This is just a little quiz I put together about some odds and ends about this species as a fun little celebration for my birthday. You can win yourself some prizes and there's no cost to enter!

Question difficulty ranges from pretty much free points to who the hell knows this? But I'm sure you'll get at least one... I think!

Each right answer gives you one (1) Scyphcoin! There's no penalty for guessing or being wrong, so you can either leave answers you don't know blank or just write something random and cross your fingers. You don't have to answer all the questions-- skip the ones you're really unsure about!

I'll close this in around 3 days, so try it out when you can! Even if you know next to nothing, there's no harm in giving it a go :3c pick yourself up some coin!

[PLAY HERE!]


GOOD LUCK...


MAINTENANCE: December 18 (important please read)

Posted 1 year, 6 months ago by kirchhoff

Should we announce sale days? [Read bulletin]

40 Votes Yes, announce it with a bulletin
1 Votes No, do not announce it with a bulletin

jelveil2_2.gif


JELLO EVERYJEL!


I know it's not December 18 yet, at least not where I live, but I'm going to bed early and I don't want to have to do this later. Happy birthday to me...

Sorry about the repost! I forgot to set the poll to anonymous... I feel weird having it with "response visible".


SALE DAYS: MORE INFO + POLL


Looks like the "buy-one-get-one" sale offer beat the "half-off discount" by a very shocking 4 votes.

Here's the idea: buying a rare MYO gives you an uncommon for free, buying an uncommon MYO gives you a common for free, and buying a common MYO gives you a Veilthing for free. (Of course, if you buy an uncommon or rare MYO and prefer the Veilthing, you can ask for that, of course.)

The sale period will also be set to begin on a certain day of the month and end on another. For these sale periods I'll make it required to have me confirm before you pay, just in case you happen to miss the window and don't want to get what you didn't pay for. I'm currently thinking to have them start from the 20th to the 25th of every month.

Now here's the question: when sale days open, should I announce them with bulletins here?

I'll be announcing them in the Discord server for sure (I announce everything there, I once announced that we had washrooms) but I'm wondering whether I should make the notification here on the World as well. It'll only be one extra notification per month, but thought I'd check in anyhow. Please vote on what option you'd like on the poll!


TRAIT SHEET UPDATE + WRITTEN GUIDE


The changes aren't super major, but I felt like they were warranted nonetheless. The display is now tabbed instead of being a long annoying thing you have to scroll through, and the sheets have been reworded to convey their meanings better (I noticed there was a lot of confusion on the "natural organic" traits especially, which I've-- hopefully-- now clarified). I've also done away with the transparency on the pages, which will hopefully be a little nicer on your eyes and your internet bandwidth.

Also, I've made a written trait guide! This is for the people who prefer text-based information as opposed to the visuals.

I still need to work on updating all the links to go to this new sheet, but that'll come. For now, enjoy what I have below!

[BASIC TRAITS] | [ADD-ONS][WRITTEN GUIDE]


TRAIT REMOVAL + NEW TRAIT


If you're checking out the new trait sheets, you might've noticed that we've done away with the "liquid hair" trait.

It's a pretty simple reason: tentacles can be put on the head to resemble hair, and the "liquid hair" trait was essentially just water tentacles on the head, posing as hair. It didn't really make sense to me to have it as a separate trait. 

If you still want watery aspects in your Jelveil's hair, it's still possible! You just get that done with water tentacles on the head instead. I don't remember any MYO jellies having the liquid hair trait, but if yours did, just make the note to yourself that it's just water tentacles now.

I've made a new rare add-on trait to make up for this one being removed: tethered limbs! Essentially it's just the tethered neck trait, but on the limbs. Yaaaay!


TRAIT UPGRADE CONSUMPTION CHANGE (!!!)


Lots of stuff about traits today, wow. This is just a little something that'll make administration easier on our end and designing easier on yours.

It used to be that having multiple different types of traits in a single trait category would each consume a trait upgrade. For example, if you have a common ticket, having both a plastic (UC) and slime (R) veil would've consumed both an uncommon and a rare upgrade. This has now been changed! 

From now on, if you'd like to have different types of tentacles, different veil materials, pit fillings, et cetera, outside of the rarity of the ticket, it'll only consume one upgrade for each trait category-- of whichever trait has the highest rarity. Going back to the plastic (UC) and slime (R) veil example, from now on, it'll consume only one rare upgrade.

And yes, this means you can have as many different tentacles or veil materials or pit fillings as you like without needing a upgrade for each and every one.

I'm not sure why I ever had it the other way in the first place. It just made life harder for everyone.

DO NOTE that this doesn't apply to the "not solid nor liquid veil/tentacles" mutation trait, as mutations aren't really a rarity class on their own. So, if you'd like a plastic (UC) and smoke (M) veil, you'll need both an uncommon and mutation upgrade. Sorry about that.

DO ALSO NOTE that this change ONLY applies to traits within a SINGLE category. For example, if you want a slime (R) veil and slime (R) tentacles, you'll still need two rare upgrades, one for each, due to veils and tentacles being different trait categories.

If you'd like to be compensated for this change, I'll attach a form at the end of the bulletin that you can fill out and that I'll give you Scyphcoin for.


NEW NPC: TRENCHES REPRESENT!


I am not a fan of the term NPC but it's the most common way to refer to characters like these, so I'll use it anyway.

Say hi to our very first official TRENCH JELLY: Marley, the Broadcaster!

I almost never announce new NPCs like this, buuut if you've seen me at all in the Forum Games, you'll know I absolutely adore this little jelly. Also, I definitely think that Marley's bio is one the THE BEST I've written. You all know how awesome I am as a writer so that is no small honour :) too bad half of it's locked away... unless you know how to access the full version?

(HINT: On the "input command here" bit, right click and the right thing to do will show up in the right-click menu. From there, look around-- you'll find what you're looking for. Only works on laptop, sadly.)

Special thanks to TheyOfDarkness for the spotlight tentacle ideas. Brilliant (no pun intended).


CLOSING REMARKS


This maintenance bulletin was even longer than some of our News Moments, wow. Winter break just started for me and I've been on Turbo Mode ever since.

It's my birthday tomorrow! I'm getting so old. For my birthday, I got... rejected by MIT. My dad says it's their loss, though. Anyway, happy birthday to Lucas Kirchhoff! You are all free to celebrate with me.

In any case, I've begun working on more lore, namely Undertow stuff, which means YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ADD YOUR JELLIES INTO THE UNDERTOW! I'll try to do more cool things with the factions of the world, but for today's announcement, I just figured I'd get all the administrative stuff like trait changes and all that out of the way first. Hope you're as excited about it as I am!

I'm also going to add a page that links to all the hidden pages of the World just as a quick guide for people who don't want to do the puzzle-solving, though it likely won't be available publicly here just so you're not... tempted to click it, I guess? You'll have to ask me for a link... the Discord made that decision.

Thanks for hanging around! I'll talk to you all when I'm 17.


TRAIT UPGRADE COMPENSATION


Here's the compensation I mentioned earlier. Please use it ONLY if you have spent multiple trait upgrades on a trait category. ONLY MYO JELVEILS WILL BE COMPENSATED-- you didn't spend any upgrades by buying adopts!

The way I reworked the trait upgrade system is that for one category, you'll now only need to spend one upgrade of the highest rarity of the traits you're using, to give yourself multiple traits higher than the ticket rarity. So, you'll be compensated with Scyphcoin for each upgrade you spent on your Jelveil that is now unnecessary.

Confused? Imagine this: you spent 1 uncommon and 3 rare upgrades to give your Jelveil made with a common ticket the following: 

  • Vine tentacles (UC)
  • Ribbon tentacles (R)
  • Chain tentacles (R)
  • Ice cream veil (R)
You'll be compensated for ONE uncommon and ONE rare trait upgrade, as you would've now only needed TWO rare upgrades to make the same thing, one for the tentacles and one for the veil. Uncommons will be compensated with 3 Scyphcoin, Rares with 5.


THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO MUTATIONS: IF YOU SPENT ONE MUTATION AND ONE UNCOMMON OR RARE UPGRADE ON A TRAIT CATEGORY, NO COMPENSATION IS REQUIRED.

Didn't understand a word I just said? No worries-- you don't need to. I'm just explaining the numbers behind the reimbursement, but the form itself is simple to fill!


FORM:

ML LINK(S) OF AFFECTED JELVEIL(S):
If no ML link is available, just send over their profile, as long as it's got a clear list of the traits.


I'll get back to you and let you know whether your request was approved or denied, and if approved, how much SC I've reimbursed you with.


THANK YOU!

Do you agree with my dad?

Another update

Posted 1 year, 6 months ago by kirchhoff

It's been a week since I lost my little guy, so I figured I owed you an update in that regard.

You might've seen me waking up again in the Discord server and chatting with members here and there. It's still taking me time, but I'd say I've been taking the situation surprisingly well. Obviously I'm still upset, but not to the point where it gets in the way of interacting or working.

I'm sorry again with how slow things have been here, with the first two rounds of college applications eating my time from September to the start of December, and the first third of December lost to the unexpected tragedy, but from now on-- until I have to start again on applications (I'm sorry)-- it should be business as usual. Expect to see a lot more content popping up, especially around winter break, unless something else happens that's out of my control. Seeing from the Harmony story I finished yesterday (read it if you haven't by the way, I think it's good) I still got it. Heh.

Thank you again for your continued patience during this tough time!

Update

Posted 1 year, 6 months ago by kirchhoff

I just lost a beloved pet.

I’m going to be out of commission for around a week, perhaps more. Please be patient and reasonable. If you need something done as soon as possible, please contact a moderator.

I will discuss further about who should take over in the meantime, but for now, please be understanding.

Do not expect me to do anything CS-related for now. 

Please be patient.

JELLO EVERYJEL!


Happy Lucas mont-- I mean, happy December! We've got a few changes going on and one more we'd like for you to vote for (as well as FREE STUFF), so please read carefully!


DECEMBER PROMPT + NEW SPECIAL PROMPT


FC13FF85-3718-4D8D-84A3-DD5A6AAD9A68.pngAh... the holidays... such a wonderful time of hot drinks, snow, and fireplaces... but we all know that's not what SCYPH.co's all about!

We're gonna celebrate the REAL way, so this prompt is...
SALE! SALE! SALE!

Who cares about family when we've got these sweet deals instead? Draw your jelly at the mall, making advertisements, flipping through coupon books, ordering online, anything that engages with money, pretty much, the true essence of Christmas!

Ahahaha, I'm just pulling your leg. I know this month's prompt sounds pretty derisive and cynical, but that's just me poking some fun at it. You're totally free to draw cute, fluffy scenarios too! Anything from a wholesome family outing to a store, to buying homemade cookies from a friend, to being the mastermind of a predatory marketing scheme is okay. Hell, I'd be a liar if I said I didn't enjoy a little Christmas shopping myself!

Participate to get 5 Scyphcoin!

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! Call now and we'll throw in a... Lol! Joking you.

I've added a new special prompt for jelly FTOs-- that is people who don't have and have never had a Jelveil or a ticket! Instead of the traditional prompt (like the sale prompt right now), you can choose to design your first Jelveil and turn that in as your prompt instead! This'll net you 10 coins instead of the usual 5, so you'd need to do one more prompt (of the regular variety) to get yourself that sweet sweet ticket. Hopefully this'll make the CS even more accessible. Click the link below for more info!

[CLICK HERE FOR MORE DETAILED INFORMATION ON PROMPTS!]


COMMUNITY VOTE: MYO SALES


do_i.pngNow here's where I need your help (again!) (and yes I'm reusing the image from November)

It's no secret that in terms of MYO sales, we're... not selling too well. Of course, there's plenty of free ways to get yourself a jelly (and that's good!), but I'd like to help support ocean charities more-- what I made the Jelveils to do!

Of course, I won't be raising prices or start limiting sales or anything (it goes against my PHILOSOPHY!!!), but I've got an idea: periods of time not unlike traditional MYO sales you see in other CS, but instead of opening sales, we'll just sweeten the deal. Right now, the ideas are:

1. For a few days, prices are discounted! I'm thinking around half-off, but this is subject to change.
2. For a few days, buying a ticket gets you another ticket (of a lower rarity) for free!

For the sake of me and the mods we are not going to do both.

Of course, these will be monthly recurring sales, and they won't be limited by quantity (eg. only the first 5 buyers get the special deal). Nothing on the table will make getting a ticket harder! Heck, it'll make getting a ticket even easier... at what cost? Up to you to decide. 

Anyhow, I've provided a poll for this. Please vote on whatever option you think is best. (It's anonymous!)

Since this directly deals with your money, feel free to also provide more details on what you think in the comments. It's important I'm making the decisions you like!


FREE TURN-IN EVENT


Untitled431_20221202165517.pngDo you want two free uncommon jellies? Hopefully. Well, here's your chance!

Just to lessen the workload on myself (as I doubt as many people will be interested in events where you actually have to design a character as opposed to just picking up a ticket), we're doing a free turn-in event! This event will allow you to draw and submit up to 2 designs with common or uncommon traits. That's right, 2! That's one more than just one!

For those unfamiliar with CS lingo (though I did partially explain it myself...) a turn-in event is a period of time where you're allowed to make designs of a certain CS without requiring or consuming any tickets, turn them in (hence the name), and get them approved. Think of it like a free MYO event-- but you've already got the MYO, so just hit the road and get designing!

We'd also appreciate any bumps on our advertising thread!

EASTWIND BAKERY


Untitled431_20221202171744.pngAvyrie's favourite bakery just opened a new location... and it's a convenient distance from where you are! Wondering why it's the VP's favourite? Well, just inspect the quality of the donuts and see for yourself!

The donuts were from a Jelcord event that lasted a few days where people submitted donuts for some currency rewards, but I'm opening it up here too-- if you'd like to see your baked good on display, you have until DECEMBER 6th 11:59 PST to draw a donut and submit it for a choice of 10 Scyphcoin or 5 bottle caps. Yes, this goes for our Jelcord bakers too-- go ahead and submit more donuts! And yes, you can model them after your jellies and you can submit multiple donuts.

For those of you wondering what the hell I was doing with all those donuts, there you go.

The quality! The taste! You're missing out if you don't inspect these delicious donuts!


MORE MODERATION!


Untitled431_20221202171539.pngPlease welcome the three new SCYPH.co directors to the team: LyraDoodles, Prismescence, and TheyOfDarkness! We'll work together and do whatever we can to make your experience in this CS a little better. Give them your congrats!

While mod apps are still technically open, we aren't actively hiring. Feel free to drop by if you'd want an opportunity to be contacted should we need even more mods, though!


CLOSING REMARKS


Untitled431_20221202171657.pngI just got done yet another round of college applications... hopefully I can hear some good news from like MIT or something and not have to go through the process again, but the most realistic outcome is that I'll have to do yet another application. For now, though, I've got winter break coming up and hopefully I can take it easy and just relax for some time. At the very least I think I'll be able to get my birthday off.

In any case, I might end up taking yet another break and slow the content a little, but for now I should be more active. But hey, I promise you: there will be NO MORE COLLEGE APPLICATIONS from January... like 12 onward. FREEDOM!

I still have classes like AP Calc and Phys C to deal with though but hopefully Semester 2 is easier. Just kidding! It has English Studies 12 🤮 this is just a joke but i am hilariously bad at humanities courses

In any case, though, my grades won't matter as much so I'll be getting back to more jellying once all that's over.

JELLO EVERYJEL!


We need more mods.


MODERATOR APPLICATIONS


To get things going faster and lower the workload on our current mods, we're looking for new moderators! We'll have separate options for technical stuff like masterlist management and community organization, so if you're interested in one but not the other, no worries. 

While we cannot directly pay you as a non-profit species, you will be able to make as many jellies as you wish, either as personal characters, customs, and adopts. You will also gain a ticket each month you can sell, trade, or gift. Sounds interesting? Check the link below!

THANK YOU!
