Whiffling Crowns are now Live!
Posted 1 year ago :: Last edited 1 year ago by mewhakuWhiffling Crowns are now live! The last part of Whiffling Achievements is now attainable!
EDIT: It looks like we forgot to mention something! You can bribe the Marks of Recognition rewarders- with Wads of Cash. Now available in Whiffle Wares.
We also previously added more information about the currency of Lingua to Chapter 2 if we haven't said it previously!
---
You can now view Annex 7: Whiffling Crowns.
Rhosyn, the Whiffling Crown Tasks manager, has her gleaming golden crown as it stands. She'll guide you through the process.
Remember: Flower or plant material crowns are allowed as a non-trait. Anything else you'll need to earn via this feature!
Right now the Season is Winter, so it means you'll be able to complete the following tasks to earn Marks of Recognition!
[A New Character Currency used to gain Crowns.]
1) Help with cleaning up litter.
2) Help an overwhelmed shopkeeper with their shop.
3) Help with decorating for the winter season and/or make Linguans feel celebratory!
4) Help with making toys for children.
5) Help with making candles or soaps.
6) Help with shovelling snow and/or cleaning up ice.
We implore you to ask any questions about this new feature in our Discord or via the Ask Questions here prompt. Thanks for your patience, and we look forward to seeing your Whifflings help out around Lingua! =D
January 2023 Spotlight + News
Posted 1 year ago :: Last edited 1 year ago by Mouse
A new year, and so we move forward- 2023 is looking like it will be packed in the best of ways!
As previously mentioned - some characters were voided/deleted. We are now filling in those inactive numbers! When you submit a new MYO slot, you can request an old number specifically that is open. Otherwise we will fill it in as normal with the next available number. We also do have a list of open numbers here, for ease of viewing.
(The words/scents that have opened up alongside these numbers can now also be reclaimed. If you wish to view a list of all newly available words, feel free to send in a request via the Ask Questions Here prompt!)
The Year of Competitions has nearly ended- get your entries in! The results will be up soon. That does mean we'll need a new prompt however!
Welcome to Introductions. It has been some time since we have opened Lingua's doors. So why not have some formal Introductions? Or Re-Introductions!
For this year [and possibly continuing years], we will have a scaling reward system [not a raffle] for Prompt participation. See the prompt's details for more information!
The Spotlight member this month is kazulthedragon !
You so very kindly made a massive amount of gift art for so many members during the month of December- and still additional personal art as well. Wow!
Thank you again for making this group a better place.
As you have a Membership Card, we are granting you a Mysterious Simple Bag.
Going forward we will reward any repeat Spotlight members this as a gift!
We wouldn't be what we are without you!
This month #730 Sun and #284 Solar System were voted in as our Spotlight characters!
They belong to kazulthedragon and Howee respectively!
Members who draw or write about this Paralogos or Whiffling through the month of January will get a bonus +3 flat INK or +3 Bottlecaps.
The owner of the Spotlight character will not gain this additional bonus,
but are still rewarded the normal currency from having someone else draw your owned character.
Finally... we honor:
This is a collection of some of the wonderful artworks and writing that have been submitted to our group the last month.
Thank you all for your contributions! Please view our Gallery for more.
Please visit the Sales page to see what's open [Nothing at the moment!], and check the Linguan Preserve for characters needing new homes! Remember, if you see a MYO slot on LogosLibrary 's MYO page you'd like to claim- just DM mewhaku on Discord.
And finally, we'd like to make special mention of the birthdays this coming month of January-
pxcarats , Kid31 , and Oboe !
Happiest of birthdays to our members celebrating this month! If you haven't signed up yet, please do as you'll get a gift!
Note: Birthday Sign-Ups are now done via Claims.

Changes At the End of the Year
Posted 1 year ago :: Last edited 1 year ago by mewhakuHello everyone! We have a couple announcements to clarify, just so everyone [Discord and elsewhere] are aware.
Firstly, Admin Speedy has chosen to resign from his position after many years of work on the site. He will stay around until the end of the Year of Competitions. At this point he is only processing current Prompt submissions. We thank him for the years of work he has done for the group, and we wish him the best as he goes on to new travels.
Official Artists Numiauri and PromptoBeans have also chosen to step down, though Numiauri is sticking around as a normal member! They're both working more on the Realm of Mynros site, and we hope it all grows and flourishes! We again thank them both for all of the wonderful artwork and character designs they've contributed to the group.
---
Multiple new Paralogos and Whiffling characters were donated kindly to the Linguan Preserve! Be sure to visit and see if you'd like to take one of them home. Also, if you would like to see where some MYO slots went that were there- you can check this page on LogosLibrary 's account. If you see something you'd like to claim, please reach out to mewhaku so that she can make it available. Otherwise, they will be used as a plan for some further fun activities! If you need a character's linked Toyhouse profile, just reach out to mewhaku as well.
---
As a result of some of these resignations as well, some characters were voided/deleted. So please excuse the Masterlist for being a bit messy! As of January 1st, 2023 we will be filling in those inactive numbers! When you submit a new MYO slot, you can request an old number specifically that is open. Otherwise we will fill it in as normal with the next available number.
We have added a formal voiding process as part of the Ask Questions here prompt.
You have two options: complete deletion, and temporary voiding. Complete deletion means the word or scent will become unclaimed [and free for users to claim] and you will need to regain any items needed to remake the character again.
Temporary voiding means the character will stay on your profile, the word or scent will remain claimed, and the image made a lower opacity with the site's watermark on it. You can contact us to re-instate it when you are ready.
---
As part of Speedy's resignation, we will be re-writing some information as per his request. So be sure to peek into Annex 4: Recent Events! We have a woman who seems to be the Caretaker of Ginkgo sharing some diary entries...
As we move towards the end of the year, we hope all of you are having a wonderful holiday season! Please stick with us as we move into 2023. We have lots of fun plans!

Whiffling Pet Magic is Here!
Posted 1 year ago :: Last edited 1 year ago by mewhakuHey everyone!
We are happy to announce the Whiffling Pet Magic feature is finally here!
Our main NPC character for this is Vardan, who also has a little pet who's gained a magical ability...
~
You can read all about it in the new Annex 6 - Pet Magic.
Alongside this new feature, we have also taken a moment to update the Paralogos Magic Annex to be a bit easier to comprehend (and to no longer refer to dA, oops).
We have the new Prompt here for Magic Acquisition in Whiffling Pets. We also have a new Gallery folder for it here!
With this, another chunk of the Whiffling Achievements have become earnable. This should make earning a Maverick Whiffling possible.
We are also happy to announce that we are actively working on getting the Crowns feature ready for release as well, so that soon all Whiffling Achievements will be obtainable! Thanks all for your patience. =D
EDIT: A small note, to keep things more consistent- De-Maginator / Spark of Insight were added to the Ink Market and removed from the Snapshot Shop to make its lineup more consistent with Whiffle Wares' item options!

The Crossing is Here
Posted 1 year ago :: Last edited 1 year ago by mewhakuHello all! We're bringing a new feature online.
Welcome to The Crossing. The Whiffling Breeding feature!
And so it finally returns with some new tips and tricks, new features and an updated system overall!
We've got a new Breeding Prompt. We've updated the Redesign Page fully too! Now with updated pricing and Whiffling options officially stated! We've been hard at work getting these out, so a major thank you to our Admin Team for all their hard work!
EDIT: As a result, Twin Potion items have now appeared in the Whiffle Wares shop as well!
The Lore section has been fully updated with all recent The Year of Competition Prompts as well, and the headers cleaned up too.
We will have an additional bit of Lore information coming out soon for how Whiffling Crossing works in world, but we hope that the information on the Breeding page will help to sate any curiousity until then!
We also heartily thank tamingofthesandshrew for their service and time in the group, but due to offline busy-ness they have chosen to step down in their position officially. So that is why they are no longer on the Official Artists page. Thank you again Taming!
September Spotlight + News
Posted 1 year ago :: Last edited 1 year ago by mewhaku
Hi all! As summer closes with the end of August, we have some information for you all.
EDIT: 9/18 : An Addendum to the News Post! It looks like the Linguan Preserve is now open! Afina is welcoming new residents to the Preserve, and it seems there's already two residents there already. Hopefully this encourages members to find new friends! The Linguan Preserve is a way for members to get some compensation (of Linguan currency) if they wish to surrender a character they no longer wish to own, and also a way for members to adopt a new pre-made character. We are so happy to finally have it created and working! EDIT EDIT: To clarify, we also DO enable MYO Slot surrenders WITH a CONFIRMED word or scent choice!
It has been formally added to the Ask Questions Here prompt that you can have your World of Lingua character appraised, and re-evaluated value wise for reselling. Please do not abuse this feature, but in order to have your character's re-evaluated, please link the character, give any proof you have of commission values, and then mewhaku will review it. Please link artwork as well! Follow up questions happen on Discord.
The newest TYOC Prompt Has been released! TYOC: Knowledge vs Skill! Enjoy! :D
