As it is March 7th...

We'd love to celebrate a bit, considering this day is the 7th Anniversary of the Paralogos and (and by association) Whiffling Species!

mewhaku (Mew, aka me) would like to give back a little bit and hand out some gifts to celebrate the species!

In honor of the anniversary, and our site growing so large, we've made a 7th Anniversary Memento. This can be claimed (if you didn't already enter the raffle) via the Claims feature.

-----

The reward of 7 ink and caps per entrant will be rewarded alongside the 7th Anniversary Memento as part of that grant. So thank you for your patience! And thank you all for coming together to make this group and site what it is... a personal note from my (mewhaku) heart, I am so thankful for each and every one of you. Truly. ;_;

1. First Place Wins: 1 Free Custom Paralogos or Whiffling Design between levels 1-6 or Common - Uncommon - Rare from mewhaku
2. Second Place Wins: 1 Free Custom Paralogos or Whiffling Design between levels 1-3 or Common - Uncommon from mewhaku

Hello all! We're finally ready to release the feature you've all been waiting for: Whiffling Achievements!

Whiffling Achievements are here!

That's right!
From this moment on, you can head over to the freshly updated Achievement System page to find out what Whiffling achievements you're able to earn & how, and what sort of rewards are waiting for you!
Hint: One of them has to do with Mavericks =)
Please note that from now on, when claiming achievement rewards please specify whether you're claiming Paralogos or Whiffling milestones.

We've also got three new trophy-equivalent items for you to collect:

 

for completing the achievement:
"Silver Star"

for completing the achievement:
"Gold Star"

 
 

for completing the achievement:
"Bronze Star"

Just like with Paralogos achievements, once you've earned one of these Ribbons, you will be displayed on the Spotlight MVP Display.

We do have to point out that not all achievements are currently earnable.
Namely, Pet Magic, Crowns, and Breeding-related achievements are unachievable until their related feature is released.
These three features are at the top of our to-do list, but until then please simply take this as a teaser for things to come!
Thank you all for you patience =)

The Wicked + Maverick Auction is tomorrow!

A quick reminder that the Maverick Whiffling and Wicked Paralogos MYO Slot auctions will be held on Saturday (1/22/22) at 7pm EST!
Auctions will end 24 hours after the last bid.
Note that while the auction IS for a MYO Slot, the winners will have the option to either design it themselves or have it designed by either mewhaku or Mouse !

A New Year brings New Changes...

We welcome the equivalent to Wicked Paralogos- Maverick Whifflings, onto the World of Lingua website!

This is in preparation for the Whiffling Achievements system releasing later this month, thank you all so much for being patient with us!

[Again, please do not send in submissions for that until it fully releases! We need to make a functioning spreadsheet and pages for it.]

Maverick Whifflings are a unique Whiffling type that seems to rebel against their "normal" forms, going beyond the expressions of Devilish, Fae, and Elemental subtypes. We'll be having an Auction for both a Wicked Paralogos MYO Slot and a Maverick Whiffling MYO Slot within the month of January! So please stay tuned.

On that note- there's some big plans ahead for the year in the World of Lingua in terms of Prompts, an Event for the year [2022].

Noticing the entrance of a Wicked Paralogos and Maverick Whiffling as the year turned- Paprika wonders.. which of the two is better, stronger even? But fortunately, before he could ask that specific question, his caretaker figured it'd be a good idea to stop him there.

Regardless: Paprika ended up getting the idea of starting several competitions this year, which is how the Year of Competitions was born!

Let's introduce the rules. And yes, this does count as an Event entry for any associated Achievements if you enter in any given month!

People get 1 ticket per month they provide a submission, with a maximum of 3. [It does still count if you collab with someone on the same side.]

These tickets will go to a Wicked or Maverick raffle to be rolled in January 2023. [The winner can pick whichever they'd prefer.]

On the premise that a user creates a submission every single month:

After 4 unique months, the base ink or cap reward gets doubled to 10 for every submission made in the months after. (Submissions made during the 4th month do not count.) [This would trigger in April, counting for May and onward.]

After 6 unique months, the user gains a Mysterious Simple Bag. [This would be for June.]

After 9 unique months, the base ink or cap reward becomes tripled, to 15 for every submission made in the months after, and the bonus reward gets doubled to 10. This means someone could earn a total of 25 ink & 10 caps OR 10 ink & 25 caps. (Submissions made during the 9th month do not count.) [This would trigger in September, counting for October and onward.]

On the 12th month, if the user has made a submission in all 11 months prior, they receive a Mysterious Fancy Bag. [December specifically.]

"What's going on... Who are you and what have you been upto?"

Celyn glared at this... Whiffling? Who seemed quite angry at the entire current situation...

Someone had been stealing items in the general city of Sermos... and it seems that a Whiffling was the culprit. Was this the perpetrator?

"Wouldn't you like to know! Thanks for messing it up!" >:/

The Whiffling replied. 

It seems this Whiffling was hiding gifts...

They look like this:

You'll need to go around the site and find 6 of these!

Please note these facts about the Scavenger Hunt:

All the Hunt targets can be found on mobile devices as well as desktop! They are not on Masterlist Entries or user profiles.

They CAN be in places like lore pages for example, sales, Encyclopedia entries..

Or news posts to give a few examples. Please do not hint at locations, or be negative about how hard or easy locations might be.

You will have from December 25th until the end of the year to hunt for these gifts!

Perhaps this Whiffling isn't mean...though they seem to be a thief [probably]. Seems you may get something additionally if you find them all.

Enjoy the season and gather up some presents for your Paralogos or Whiffling characters!

Happy Holidays for whatever you're celebrating- and we hope everyone has a wonderful New Year!

Today we have some Quality of Life Updates we'd like to share along with some other News!

As per some recent suggestions [on our Discord server, recently updated to be called World of Lingua!] we've added the following:

1. Traits are now categorized on the Masterlist! Meaning you don't have to scroll down just alphabetically anymore. They're under headers!

2. We now have a left-hand sidebar for News and Sales that more clearly allows for navigation on these pages- and Sales showing OPEN/CLOSED Sale entries more easily!

We also have a COMPLETELY NEW section to our Lore page regarding a catalog of previous Prompts! While they won't give special rewards anymore, perhaps one of them could inspire an art or writing piece if you're in need of some inspiration? =) [Many thanks to Speedy for putting this together!]

And finally, we are nearing completion of all the Art Assets for the Whiffling Achievements update. It is NOT DONE yet- as we still need to prepare the split to the Achievements page and make additional backend work such as spreadsheets to keep proper logs. So stay tuned!

We think you'll enjoy the final goal this additional Achievements set up will have too... !
