Art Exchange Event

Posted 3 years ago :: Last edited 3 years ago by Mouse

Summer's slowly grinding to a halt. Water balloons have been put away and now people are arguing about whether technology is great or not.
Memer clearly likes at least one type of technology- being able to capture moments in time as future souvenirs with a camera. But even they like to go back to non-digital aspects sometimes..

Like painting! It shouldn't be surprising that our finger painting savant is into the traditional arts.. And.. Though they refuse to show us the current status..
Apparently they're drawing this as.. a gift?

 

 

 

  • Everyone who signs up for this event will randomly be assigned one (1) other member who they will create an artwork for.
  • To keep up the surprise, please don't share your assigned member and/or your artwork with anyone until Posting Day (Oct 3rd)!
  • On September 1st, you will receive a deviantart note with all relevant information on your assigned member.
  • You then have one (1) month to create your artwork.
    • We ask for your artwork to be worth at least 7 Ink (see Earning Ink - min. shaded headshot / 350 words).
  • When you're done, reply to the deviantart note with your completed artwork until October 1st at the latest.
    • If you're unable to complete your artwork in time, please contact the group as soon as possible so we can reach out to a backup artist!
    • Depending on circumstances, you might be banned from future art exchange events if you abandon your art assignment - so please make sure to only sign up if you're sure you can create an artwork in time!

 

 

 

Sign-Up: August 21st - August 31st
Info is sent out: September 1st

Time to Create: September 1st - September 30th
Deadline: October 1st

Posting Day: October 3rd

August Spotlight + News

Posted 3 years ago :: Last edited 3 years ago by Mouse


Hey everyone!
We've got a good chunk of smaller updates for you today! Let's get into it:

1) Companions are now set to be transferable
Previously, Companions were set as "cannot be gifted" and "cannot be traded" and would've been manually moved by an admin when a Paralogos with attached Companions was traded/transferred.
We asked the community via our discord server whether it'd be preferred to let members add Companions to trades/transfers themselves.
An overwhelming majority voted yes.
Meaning that now, when you trade or transfer a Paralogos with an attached Companion, you have to add the Companion to the trade / transfer them as well.

2) Minor new line in Default Ink form
To make the work for our Library Assistants easier, we added a line related to YCH details to the Default Ink Rewards prompt.
Please make sure to fill out the entire form whenever you submit artwork to this prompt. Thank you! 

3) dA Points are no longer a default payment option
Because of Eclipse and the devaluation of dA Points, some of our Official Artists have decided to no longer take dA Points as payment.
Who decided how can be seen on the Official Artist Customs page.

4) New Redesign Page
There is now a Redesign Page.
It hosts information on how redesigns work, how to commission an Official Artist for a redesign and which redesign-related items do what.

5) Sparks of Insight are now purchasable!
They can now be bought via the Snapshot Shop for 70 1-icon.png each!
While they are on the pricier side, we decided to make them available for those of you who sit on a bunch of Ink and would enjoy an optional Ink sink =)

Of course, all of these updates are reflected in the User Guide that can be found in the footer of this website.
Furthermore, we're still continuously working on several features that are yet to be implemented or re-implemented.
Thank you all so much for your patience!

 


The new Monthly Prompt has been released: Technology Troubles!

July Spotlight + News

Posted 3 years ago :: Last edited 3 years ago by Mouse


Hey everyone!
We've released a big QoL update on June 16th that you can read about here if you haven't already!

We've also tried out google forms as an alternative to dA polls for the Spotlight Paralogos and it worked great from our end.
However, we'd greatly appreciate feedback from you about whether this is better or worse than dA polls for you.

Furthermore, we're still continuously working on several features that are yet to be implemented or re-implemented.
Thank you all so much for your patience!

 


The new Monthly Prompt has been released: Balloon Fight!

June Spotlight + News

Posted 3 years ago :: Last edited 3 years ago by Speedy
(Starting now, we'd like to use our monthly Spotlight posts to also inform you on any type of news we've got for you - including new Monthly Prompts, potential events, etc)

First of all: Once again, welcome to this new era of our Paralogos community!
We're very happy to see you all joining this website, enjoying the new automated features and asking good questions!

We've been working hard this past month to make sure our group stays as functional as possible.
At this point, we've finished transferring the masterlist and adjusting the pages on this website!
But sadly, we're not quite done yet.

Here's a list of our next goals (in no particular order):
- reimplementing Caretaker registrations & edits
- reimplementing the Membership Card function
- various QoL improvements (incl. moving Word Claims & MYO Slot transformations to this website)

We thank you all so much for your patience and understanding.

 


The new Monthly Prompt has been released: Logos at Work!
Furthermore, the Recent Events page has been updated.

Two quick notes regarding Monthly Prompts:
1) We added a rule regarding minimum effort for entries:
"Every entry must be worth a minimum of 5 ink."
(5 Ink is one Ink less than a flat colored fullbody or a shaded bust & equal to 375 words)

2) There is now a 3 day grace period for Monthly Prompt submissions.
This means that submissions for Monthly Prompts will stay open until the 3rd, while the new prompt will always be released on the 1st.

 


The Spotlight member[s] this month are the joint admins mewhaku , Mouse , and Speedy !

Written by Mewhaku here! Hello all. Yes, so we've all spent a large amount of time getting the website created this month- 
Through thick and thin I've been so thankful for my dear teammates and friends. I couldn't be thankful enough, and I mean that.
So it wasn't a matter of choosing one over another, or just because I'm the 'owner' picking myself. 
I wouldn't be able to keep things going without everyone's help! How far Paralogos has come... their own website!! Ah... 

Thank you both [and thank you to all of our members!!!] again for making this group a better place.
You will be awarded a membership card:

Word Claims + QoL Update

Posted 3 years ago :: Last edited 3 years ago by Mouse

Greetings everyone!
We're here with an update that's going to make some things easier for everyone involved!

 


1) Word Claims and MYO item to slot transformations were moved to the new Start MYO Process prompt. They are now one step.
1.1) It's now mandatory to claim a word when you transform a Paralogos MYO item into a MYO slot.
1.2) Word Claims no longer expire.
2) Magic suggestions and questions were moved on-site to the new Magic Questions prompt.
3) General questions and inquiries can now, alternatively to dA notes, be sent in via the new Ask Questions Here prompt.
4) Signing up for the yearly Birthday gift is now done via claims instead of dA.
5) There is now a MYO Process page that explains the entire MYO process. It can be found in the "info" tab.

All these changes are reflected in the User Guide!

 


Word Claims are now mandatory and will no longer expire.

On this website, Word Claims are visibly attached to MYO slots, so we no longer require the Word Claims list.
When you want to check for existing Word Claims, you can simply type the word in the searchbar on the MYO Masterlist.

Because of this, Word Claims and MYO slot transformations are now one step via the Start MYO Process prompt.
All Word Claims that are currently not attached to MYO Slots can be seen on the Legacy Word Claims page.
Members who currently own MYO Slots without Word Claims or Word Claims without associated MYO Slots can fix this situation via the Start MYO Process prompt as well.

We furthermore determined that the expiration system (word claims expire after 3 months and have to be renewed) is no longer useful.
It was initially in place to prevent words to be lost to inactivity forever, but we realized that a case where someone claims a word that has previously been claimed is extremely rare and therefore not worth the immense effort to prevent it.
Instead, we are putting a soft rule in place where we allow members to contest Word Claims that are at least two years old.
The exact functionality of this system can be read up on on the Legacy Word Claim page.

Existing Word Claims can be changed or removed via the Start MYO Process prompt.
You can now also trade or gift MYO slots with attached Word Claims.

 


The Lorekeeper framework received an update that allows us to reply to prompt submissions. Meaning that we can now use prompts to give verbal feedback.
Because of this, we are moving the following functions to this website:

1.1) Magic Suggestions (now Magic Questions)
1.2) Making sure you Paralogos' Magic Ability will be approved (now Magic Questions)
1.3) Magic-related Questions (now Magic Questions)
2) General Questions/replacement for dA notes (now Ask Questions Here)
3) Sign-Up for the Birthday Feature (now done via Claims, see the User Guide for details)

 

Again, thank you all so much for your patience!
If you have any question or feedback at all, feel free to test out our new Ask Questions Here prompt! =)
