Weekly Update - 1/22/18
Announcements
Thank you everyone first off for getting things rolling with our Soft Opening. It's so fun to see all of your creativity with your characters and we admins are so excited at the direction you've already taken things as we get the site started.
One announcement I'll begin with is the announcement that we will be having weekly updates (le gasp - like the title of this thread implies?!) that will give you all a rundown of basic changes, any shoutouts of members the staff or your fellow members have noticed and want to applaud, and general progress made on the site in light of our constantly making changes. This is as much for us as it is for you to catalog our progress as we move towards making a lot of changes to the site.

Welcoming New Members
Call of Destiny has had a good group of new members joining us since our Soft Opening. Special thanks to those of you who already have characters accepted and RPing, namely @abyss and Janielove . To those of you still working on character applications, keep plugging away! 
Recent Changes
- Added Celestial Plains boards for the gods/characters who have passed on to interact.
- Added Feedback board for you to submit any suggestions, edits, or side-wide plot ideas you might have!
- Updated the Site Canons list with new positions and inclusion of the status of positions. Please contact the staff if you have any questions about these changes.
- Changed terminology of sentience to sapience for clarity - if you run into any instances of the words "sentience" or "sentient" still being used, please PM a link of that thread to Lion and she will make the necessary edits.
- Added a DISCORD chatroom for us to use that will be a slightly better laid out chat option for us all. If you haven't seen it yet, we would highly recommend making an account and downloading the app to your computer or smartphone.
Shoutouts
Every week, we'll feature shoutouts here for RPers the staff and their fellow members nominate based on helpfulness, activity, and mad RPing skillz. Whoever gets featured in the shoutouts will get 100 Dust as a reward! So please do nominate those you think are doing a great job.
Shoutout this week go to @abyss Vera and Lion for the first IC thread ever on Call of Destiny!
Shoutout to Janielove who pointed out the difference between sapience and sentience. Way to be the best and help us improve our terminology on the site!
If you have any shoutouts to give for the next weekly update, please PM them to Lion! Include their name and a description of why you'd like to nominate them.
Please let us know if you have any questions by PMing a staff member, asking a question in chat, or posting in our FAQ board! Suggestions in our Feedback board are also greatly appreciated.
Thanks for being a part of our family, we are so happy to have you all here!
