Someone smack me! I keep on forgetting to post the birthday cards!

Emil & DanaeCassandra, you may each take your birthday card below:

Also, new lottery numbers.

Game update on the 1st - it will be H-U-G-E! I’m going to update game sets A, B & C! After that, I will begin updating games every 10(ish) days. I’m also introducing several new games at that time. Awards for the various contests that have finished/will finish by then will be posted on the 1st, also. Take a regular card of choice from a set with a 5-letter name, and COMMENT.

I somehow managed to delete the May 14th entry. So excuse it for not being there. I’ll try to recreate as much of it as possible, and add in the things that have updated since then. Please, if you’ve already claimed the freebies from the original May 14th update, do not claim them again.

Puzzlebox Sets: Since the puzzlebox boards were confusing a number of people, I’ve decided to eliminate them. You will no longer need to collect the puzzleboard to master the puzzlebox set. If you have puzzleboards, you may trade them in for a puzzlebox piece of your choice. If you’d like to keep them for display purposes, that’s fine, too.

Mother’s Day! Have an occasion card - comment below if you take it!

Jane: I’ve been trying to send you your starter pack, but everything is coming back undeliverable. Please give me an alternate email address where I can send you your items!

Birthdays: Members with birthdays in May, check back in a few hours - your birthday cards will be posted then!

New Members: Sam2 - welcome!
Level Ups: Rin - way to go!
Masteries: Ilmariel mastered Poe, Joni mastered Tolkien, Saori mastered Anthony, Shenny mastered Easter & IngallsWilder - congratulations!
Write-A-Novel: Saori has completed a step towards writing her novel - well done!

Just want to remind everyone that we now have a member card commission center - feel free to stop by and have one made up for you if you don’t already have one!

Also - I’m doing a slight redesign. Nothing major, and it won’t warrant a new layout card (I don’t think). But don’t be surprised if you stop by sometime soon and see a little variant of what we’ve got now.

Contest deadlines are coming up - Illustrate It & Picky, Picky both end on the 21st of this month.

Game update will be on the 14th, and speaking of games… What do you guys think of splitting the games into three groups instead of two? We have 24 games, and 7 activities (not counting rubbish bin and contests). Would you hate it if the games got split into three groups of 8? It would mean updates a little more frequently, but fewer games per update. If you comment with your thoughts, you can take this special card:

Also - pruned the affiliates. Now, should you go visiting, you won’t find TCGs that have quit with no notice, or pages that have simply disappeared! Hoorah!

UPDATE: Since everyone (so far) has been on board with splitting the games up, then it looks like that’s what we’ll do. Please feel free to still comment with your thoughts if you haven’t yet, and to grab the special card when you do. I’m running a bit short of time this weekend, so what I’ve done is separate the games into three categories already, and I’ll update the revised game set A tomorrow - as well as post the tweaked layout and special mother’s day card. Thanks for all your input, folks!
