Welcome to Ninpocho Chronicles!

Howdy everyone!

Today we're gonna be discussing missions, classes, tutoring and post-mission threads. Now, I know that's a lot to cover, but I'm gonna try to keep it as simple as possible.

We've long felt the mission rules were... Unwieldy, and oddly complex. So they've been simplified immensely, and the requirements, as well as the rewards, have been tweaked to be more in line with the current economy.

It's also been aired that why should only mednins get to do a post-mission thread and get rewarded for it. So now all branches can, and get the same reward.

Lastly, classes and tutoring. Well, we've killed tutoring. Kinda. It's been folded into the new Class rules, that have been simplified a bit compared to before. So any existing [TUTOR] thread is now a [CLASS] under the new rules. The rewards for these have stayed the same, but joining a class is now a bit easier as it covers multiple ranks at once. No more being unable to join a class just because you aren't a Student, and no more being unable to tutor multiple people because the rules didn't allow it. Now you can tutor as many people as you want, and you can join a class at any rank.

The new rules can be found in the same location as always: https://ninpocho.com/threads/mission-and-class-rules.1816/

We've upped the limit for sub accounts to 2 per user, with all the same restrictions as before. You still have to pick who gets monthly rewards (including the training rewards), they still can't be in the same modded situation, and so on and so forth.

Hello Ninpocho!

As some of you have noticed, I've been trialling a new feature on my posts, specifically the image background of my postbit (which is the name for the location of your avatar, username, title, banner, medals, and all that jazz)

Now, I've enabled the feature for everyone to dive into! But, as with all new features, there's also some rules. They are as follows:

Postbit
Some Basic Information/Rules Regarding Postbit Images:

• Please contain your images within 400x400 pixels. It causes page loads to be heavier, and thus slower.
• Please upload your postbit image to imgur and use the direct link to it. This is to prevent us from having to load images in from 300 different places.
• No images that are NSFW. This includes nudity, sexual acts, and anything else that is not safe for work. If you're not sure, don't use it.
• The general image rules also apply to postbit images.
• Donators are allowed to have animated images in their postbit.

Postbit Tips

• If you use an image that tiles infinitely on the y-axis, it'll look better as the image is repeated down for the entire length of the postbit.
• Abstract imagery usually works best for postbit images as they tend to look better when repeated.

And, of course, if we admins get reports of, or find, anyone abusing the option, we'll take away the privilege, same as with avatars and signatures.
With all that out of the way: Go forth and be creative! I can't wait to see what you all come up with.

You can put the image url you've got from imgur into your Preferences, you'll find a new text field there next to the Dyslexia font option.
