UPDATES + ANNOUNCEMENTS!

Hello everyone! 

Firstly we'd like to thank any new members for joining us here. We hope you enjoy Chasing Dusk - we think that the community here is pretty dang awesome. Seriously, you guys make this site as awesome as it is. 

We have a bunch of changes that have rolled out and we've popped it all in this fun announcement for you just to make things easier to figure out what the heck is going on!
A quick announcement was made on discord tonight by our lovely Rosa , and to go along with that here are a few more details to dive further into.

As always, thank you everyone for your support and love. We have so much fun roleplaying and getting to know you all, we hope to make CD fun, engaging and welcoming for everyone!

There are a few auditions going on right now, three are high rank - and once was just announced which is staff: a Moderator in Training application.

All of the links are linked below for you to check out. We have had some excellent auditions to the Kingdom high ranks, but the JungleClan deputy could use some love. We have an interesting plot that will be rolling out which will affect jungle, but we need to have the high ranks sorted out in that clan before we can finalize the details and release it. Applications would be mucho appreciated so we can get that ball rolling!

As we're sure you've all noticed, our lovely community has grown quite a bit in the month of September! With things getting more active around here and the coming months and holidays should just bring more activity, we've decided to open up mod applications once more. Currently, there are two positions we're looking to fill, and those chosen will have a 2 week trial period as mods in training. Upon completion of those two weeks, we will discuss together with you, the MIT, on whether you wish to continue as a full moderator or not! Whether you become one or not, you will be compensated for your time via shells! These auditions will be open for one week, until October 9th! We have plans to introduce some more things to the site which will require more mod support so now is an exciting time to get involved! 

These positions don't have quotas or specific activity requirements. As staff and high ranks alike are both pretty important to a site's success, as much activity as you feel you can give us is welcome! We don't want anyone burning out or to stop enjoying their time on the site, though.

Tribe Cat Purchases → You no longer need to pay for these. The shop item will be removed. Please contact Artemis for a full refund (can't keep track of who bought/who won, so please make sure to ask for your refund or we may not realize you need one)!

Kingdom of Mokuhau → There's a new group of cats in town! All high rank positions are being auditioned for right now except for the heir which will come later as the crown leader is finalized. You can make one of these cats in the meantime, though! There is no fee for making a kingdom cat. Currently the clans and tribe are unaware of their existence, but this will change in the upcoming plot launching soon!

Upcoming Plot → A plot you say? Yes! The staff and high ranks have been hard at work (with YOUR feedback from the surveys) to release a new plot. It will be launching very shortly, we just need to iron out JungleClan's deputy and a few other little pieces before it gets off of the ground. You guys wanted some action and drama, though, and we are pleased to deliver some. What we can say at this point is all four groups will be affected, and it will also lead to the discovery of the kingdom in the mountains!

Predator/Event/Mother Nature Occurrences → You'll be seeing your friendly admins, global mod and moderators soon randomly appearing in your posts soon with interactive events. Examples of this could be predators, special prey, or even weather. This will add a fun twist to a thread that was previous unexpected.

Staff Promotions → The lovely nifty was promoted to Global Moderator! Congrats Nifty!

It's definitely been a hot button topic around the site lately, and we've been debating back and forth for some time now. We're happy to announce that staff will officially be coming to a decision on this tomorrow. We thank you guys for being patient and for all your wonderful input!  It's not too late to squeeze your thoughts in.
