Hi yall!! Snow is starting to spiral in, and it's time to enjoy warm mugs of hot chocholate and sweet treats as the cold settles in. There's a lot happening in December!!
Tribe Contest
The official tribe contest started in November! The second (and final) round (link) will be open until the 15th. In this round, you may only vote for one of the five tribes. You must have had an account before November 7th for your vote to count (this is to prevent alts).
The new tribe will be added to the wiki on the 16th. Good luck to the 5 nominees!
Remember to pick a tribe that will fit with Pyrrhia and has substantial information. The tribe with the highest votes will get reviewed by the entire mod team to see if it would fit the wiki, has enough information, and would actually be plausible in Pyrrhia.
AviWing Revamp
As stated in the November newsletter, the AviWings will be getting a revamp. This is an old tribe that has been needing to be reworked. I have given NightStrike the task of reworking the bird-dragons.
The progress can be seen here.
- AviWings still cannot have hybrids.
- The royalty will be completely reworked, save for Avialae.
Batch Delete
There was a recent batch delete on November 30th. For new users, a batch delete is when all pages under 1000 bytes will be deleted. To see more information on bytes, read here.

Promotions and Demotions
We are still accepting thread moderator applications, as well as perhaps one more content moderator (guidelines located here). No more chat moderators are needed at this time, however that could change in the future.
All the inactive moderators (with the exception of .oOEclipseOo., a bureaucrat) have been flushed out! This leaves more room for growth in the wiki administration.
- Kitagon has been promoted to thread moderator.
- Ruler of Awesumness has been demoted from content moderator + rollback.
New Contest Rules
Since there has been a burst of half-baked contests, we have made contest guidelines. They have been added to the rules. I have provided them below for reference.
If you would like to investigate some contests, head over to the Contests, Requests, and Games board. Anyone can make a contest, but it will not get highlighted until it meets these requirements:
- The contest is well-written.
- The rules are clear.
- Tryouts for fanfictions are not contests.
- There is more than one user collaborating (at least for judging).
- The contest applies to all users.
- The contest is original.
- It has an appealing aspect to it.
- The contest is not similar to another contest (that is happening at the same time).
- A variety of characters/fanfictions/etc can be made from the contest guidelines.
- There are at least two judges.
- There are prizes for at least 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.
- The contest offers enough prizes for the contest to be worth entering.
December Activities
Gift Giving
NightStrike is hosting a gift giving thread (located here) to get users in the holiday spirit!
In this thread, users may ask for up to 3 things, whether it be coding, writing, or art. However, the user is NOT guarenteed that someone will do them. No one is obligated to do anything, but it will be more enjoyable for everyone if there is plenty of generous gift-givers <3
Remember, this is about giving to others, not about getting lots of items.
Winter Wings
This is an event hosted by me, yours truly. I will be on chat a lot (much more than I usually am), and would love to chat with you! I love getting to know all the users <3
I'm not as scary or intimidating as I might seem, I promise!! I will provide one art-inclined gift to anyone who comes to talk to me.
