News

12.12.15 - And so starts the beginning of Fire and Ice upon Anikira. As ash from the eruption of Pievunt-An showers the southern half of the continent, new northern lands are now available for their wolven inhabitants. Please be aware that Igneir will be an unplayable area for approximately two weeks to account for the time in which it will take for the lava to cool enough for wolves to pass it! Igneir is now an unclaimable territory that permanently links Tas'alea with mainland Anikira, while Caurus is now claimable by a pack if they so desire along with Cryothia and Miera.

10.22.15 - It's almost Halloween and to celebrate, I have put a scavenger hunt together that you can find in the Staff Announcements board. We also have two new packs on Anikira! There is Ananke who has claimed Aveline and Othala that is a roaming pack, so be sure to check out their information! Anikira also has a new staff member (though she isn't really that new now) which is Nile who is our new character supervisor. Also, in regards to all the suggestions you all have made in regards to what can be done to make Anikira better, I'd like to inform you all that the staff and myself have been working on it and we appreciate your all's input!

1.28.15 - As you may have noticed, the shop has mysteriously vanished! Never fear, as if you look on your navigation bar across the top, our shop has been revamped and brought up to date. You can now purchase items without the staff having to transfer and adjust points. Need points from one of your other accounts? Never fear! Use the "donate points" feature listed on each account's profile to move points in up to 50 point increments from account to account. You can also use this feature to directly pay our lovely folks who complete graphics requests! If you require a large sum of points to be moved in order to make a purchase, you can contact a staff member to assist with the transfer. Our quick links also have their own nice little drop down menu across the top! I'm looking forward to instituting some convenient little changes as I discover what's possible, so keep an eye out!

- Uruviel -

11.28.14 - It's been a little while since there was an update, and boy do I have a bit to throw up here! First off, thank you to everyone who has participated in the advertising contest. Welcome to all the new members that have joined since; we're glad to have you here! With the increase in members, we have decided to bring on a couple more folks to the staff team. With that, I would like to re-announce Scout as a staff member, serving as our Board Supervisor, and Zen as our Graphics Designer! I'm glad to have both of these lovely ladies on my staff team! There is much to come in the coming year as we approach the seventh year anniversary of Anikira. Love you all; keep doing what you're doing!

- Uruviel -

9.30.14 - Happy Fall, everyone! As you can see, after way too long, I have finally finished the fall theme skin for Anikira! If you'd like to use it for your account, just look for Fallen World in the dropdown menu when selecting your skin. Much thanks to Zen for the banner design, it turned out amazing! I have updated OTMs on the sidebar and the winners have received their points. Be on the look out for some fun fall activities and (hopefully) an advertising contest here soon!

- Uruviel -

7.20.14 - So it's been a while since we've had an update up here, so I'm going to use this as a thank you for all of you who have helped keep Anikira up and running. But in particular, I'm using this to recognize two very awesome members that have not only been crazy helpful, but also are just plain awesome people. I first want to extend a thank you to Nia who kicked me in the butt and got me back around so that Ani would come back to life. She's awesome and has helped time and time again! My second thank you goes out to Zenith who, for lack of better words, has been bombarded by graphics requests and have been making tables FOR FREE for the entire memberbase of the site. It is because of these things I would like to recognize both of you and gift you both 100 points for your awesomeness. Keep doing what you're doing! I will take the time to recognize awesome people outside of OTMs as I see fit, and these two have gone above and beyond!

- Uruviel -

3.22.14 - It's that time of the month again! OTM polls are up for everyone to vote. Also, be sure that you are posting on the activity check that is up right now! We're a little slow right now due to school, which is not uncommon for this time of year, but we are needing to get a few more threads up if possible. So everyone get to plotting! It's now birthing season, so you may be seeing more puppies around the continent. Litters can also still be conceived, so make sure you get any and all breedings out of the way unless you plan to purchase an out of season fertility!

- Uruviel -

2.24.14 - So after my fail of a few months, we have some updates! First off, I've added a new posting activity bar to the site which pulls datat from the past two weeks(it doesn't do it retroactive, so for a little bit we're all going to show inactive!) Anyways, this plugin measures your activity based on in character posts only, and so long as you're making an average of one post every four days, you'll show active! Also, we have OTMs up for March! Please go and vote for your favorites so we can get the points flowing again!

- Uruviel -

11.01.13 - Just want to say congrats to Frazz for winning our pumpkin search with a total of eleven pumpkins found! Also wanted to let you guys know that tonight is the last night to post in the activity check. I will be clearing out inactive accounts tomorrow afternoon. I'm updating the rules tonight to reflect our newest change; once you have kept your characters active for one month, each member is entitled to a fourth free character slot. I will be updating prices for character slots in the store accordingly, and all the older memebers (yes, even you all with a million wolves) can have one more free character retroactively. I'm hoping to have a new contest here in the next month for the winter look for Anikira, so those of you talented with graphics may want to start brainstorming for possible skin ideas for a White Winter in Anikira! Happy roleplaying everyone!

- Uruviel -

10.31.13 - It's time to find the pumpkins! In various places around the site I have hidden pumpkins. The catch is this time that I'm not telling you how many there are! Heck I may be randomly adding more throughout the day! Find as many as you can before tomorrow! Each pumpkin is worth 5 points and whoever finds the most earns an additional 50 points. Everyone is eligible to participate! PM me the locations/links to where the pumpkins can be found. You have until noon tomorrow to submit them all! Yes you can gradually submit them, but please keep all your submissions in one PM thread. Happy hunting!

- Uruviel -

10.23.13 - Time for another update! It's officially fall in Anikira, and we've got the new site-wide plot going on right now! Also, make sure that you post for all of your active characters in the activity check so that they don't get accidentally deleted! I want to welcome all of the new members to the site :) We're so glad to have you! We've got lots of graphics-makers working their hardest to make sure everyone has pretty pretty stuff for their babies, so maybe swing by and give a little love to our graphically talented individuals. We all appreciate each and every one of you. Also, if you haven't noticed, we are doing an advertising contest! Poke your head over into the Staff Announcements board and take a look at that! Lots and lots of stuff for everyone right now :)

- Uruviel -

9.12.13 - Well as you can tell, I've been doing a little bit of work today. I decided to sack the storm skin and go for a happier skin. You'll find our new green theme under Bubbles in your profile! We're getting things straightened up slowly but surely. Chai is going to help me clean out some of the inactive threads, and we're working out the finer details of the new plot. Feel free to continue roleplaying, as this plot poses a good potential of serving as our site wipe itself. So let's get some more peeps running around here again! Happy roleplaying!

- Uruviel -

7.04.13 - I know it's been quite some time since we've had an update. I'd like to let you all know that I'm working on getting everything updated. A new skin is in the works, we have two new staff members - Nia and Chaika as our Board Supervisor and Advertising Specialist respectively - and we'll be getting OTMs and other miscellaneous things updated shortly. As a thank you for your continued support, I have added 20 points to every account that has logged in within the last two weeks. And yes, that is to every account regardless of if you have multiple characters! You guys are amazing. Never ever change!

- Uruviel -

4.18.13 - Well, we're most of the way through this month! I'd like to give a huge, awesome, cuddle hug love to death shoutout to Snuffles who has paid for Ani to be ad-free! So when you see her on, be sure to thank her! I'm going to try to get OTMs up today, so voting for those should start fairly soon. We're going to be more relaxed about activity until the end of next month because a lot of people are busy with school/finals alike so if you're one of those people, don't fret! We still love you!

- Uruviel -

4.05.13 - Happy Spring everyone! OTM winners have been posted and points awarded. Keep in mind that a lot of people are busy this time of year and so replies are likely going to be a little slower for some. With exams and all that jazz, just let us know what's going on! I'll be posting up a new Pop Quiz in the next little bit, so keep your eyes open for that and our upcoming advertising contest to potentially earn some points! Happy roleplaying!

- Uruviel -

3.20.13 - The word count is back on your posts. There have also been some changes made to the rules; some to reflect new features offered in v5 of Proboards and some that just needed to be included. Please ensure that you read through and understand the changes, as everyone will be held accountable for them starting the beginning of next week. Thank you!

- Uruviel -

3.18.13 - We are starting to get things normal-looking again on Ani! Please be patient with us. Store purchases are temporarily on hold until we get the inventory redone (because I forgot to save it... blah) but roleplaying can continue as normal. Please be patient as we figure out the exact coding necessary to get the posting tables to work. A handful of members have already figured out the coding and may be willing to assist you in making your table work again! I'm sorry for all the changes, but I know that eventually, everything will be back to normal!

- Uruviel -

3.04.13 - Once again, some changes have been made to the inventory of the store. Be sure to poke your head over to take a look at the new special and what is available now! It is now spring in Anikira and puppy season is in full swing. Lots of plotting is going on and we may be holding an advertising contest again here soon! Just keep on the look out.

- Uruviel -

2.19.13 - There is a whole lot of changes going on! The plate tectonics have revealed yet another claimable territory, Aleru, and the sub-boards of Ina'mos have finally been completed. Keep your eyes out for yet another territory coming available soon that will be claimable!

- Uruviel -

2.18.13 - As a late present to you all for staying with the site and also semi-in celebration of my own birthday, for the first (and possibly the last) time ever in the store, Pack Creation is 100 points off! This means that the alpha must only come up with 240 points up front instead of the normal 300 and this special will truly only last this week. Interested? Better snatch it up before it's gone!

- Uruviel -

2.12.13 - There is a very excited admin! We've finished the activity check, and there are still over one hundred active accounts on the board! For those of you who missed the activity check, I left one or two of your accounts still on the board but you've received a warning level for inactivity - note, this only applies to people that I saw logged in during the period of the activity check yet still did not post. Anyone whose account was deleted, you have until March 11, 2013, to reclaim your character before they're considered permanently dead. I'll get the stats and such reworked to reflect the current characters again here shortly.

- Uruviel -

2.07.13 - The newest Anikira Pop Quiz is up! You have until Friday next week to complete and submit your answers to the quiz. The winners of February's OTMs are up. Congratulations to Masque, Haze, and every other miscellaneous person who participated in The Great Escape! Be sure that you post on the Activity Check on the Staff Announcement board so that your characters do not get deleted as well. Happy roleplaying!

- Uruviel -

2.04.13 - Happy February everyone! We will be putting up the winners of OTM polls here soon, and there is an activity check posted! Please be sure to account for all of your accounts in this, as we want an accurate reflection of the members here. If you're on an absence notice (that has been posted in the past month/two months depending on the situation) you are exempt from posting, but if you are on, we'd really like for you to post anyways. Happy roleplaying everyone!

- Uruviel -

1.21.13 - This is a little more serious note for everyone. I've noticed that there have been many accounts that have not only not been posting weekly as noted in the rules, but haven't been logged into for upwards of two weeks. Some of you may notice warning levels on your accounts due to the inactivity of some of your characters. At the very least, please remember to post an absence notice if you are going to be low activity and try to log into the accounts. It becomes a problem when I check to remove inactive accounts that have not been logged into for two weeks and a list of 20 accepted characters pops up. Warning levels will be removed 5% per week that activity continues. I love you all; just please make sure to follow the rules!

- Uruviel -

1.17.13 - There has been a change to the rules. Please review the thread for the rules and ensure that you understand this change. The change has been marked in blue text so that it is easy to locate. After Friday, everyone will be held accountable for the new rule. Additionally, the staff has made the decision to classify Anikira as a strictly Advanced roleplay. We are no longer an Intermediate-level site, as we are striving for everyone to reach their fullest potential here. Happy roleplaying!

- Uruviel -

1.16.13 - We have drawn for the second week's raffle pot, and the 95 points went to Nali! Please remember to participate! We're hopefully going to have our scavenger hunt up in the next week, so this will be another opportunity to get involved in the Anniversary Extravaganza! OTMs will be up before the end of the day, so please make sure you all vote on these. We're getting closer and closer to our total number of accepted characters being equal to the total number of accounts on the board. If you have a WIP biography on the Sacred Lives board, please keep in mind that we'd like to get these all finished up and reviewed so that we can keep our numbers accurate. Thank you!

- Uruviel -

1.10.13 - We'd like to congratulate Gem for winning our first week's raffle pot! Remember, this resets weekly, so if you bought tickets last week, you'll have to buy tickets again to participate. In other news, keep an eye out for some changes in the land of Anikira! Ina'mos Island is in the process of becoming a claimable pack territory as part of Western Anikira, along with a few other changes that are in the works. NOTE: Due to several requests by individuals, we are instituting a week of gifting via the store. Until next Thursday (January 17th), you can either gift people items in the store or be gifted items! Points can be used to buy other people absolutely anything in the store! This is a limited time event, so be sure to take advantage of it. Happy roleplaying!

- Uruviel -

1.2.13 - Happy New Year! It's the start of 2013, and we've got another great year of roleplaying ahead of us. Our Member of the Month has been posted; congratulations to Jay! There are run-off polls for both Character of the Month and Thread of the Month. Those will lock in a week, so please be sure that you vote so that we can get those acknowledgements up for the winners. Our activity check has concluded and inactive accounts were cleaned out. Anyone who lost an account that returns can recreate their account and reclaim their character until the end of this month. Past the month mark, characters are considered dead.

- Uruviel -

12.31.12 - Anikira has made it through another year! Tomorrow marks the start of the month of Anikira's Fifth Year Anniversary! Keep your eyes open for the fun, exciting events we'll have going all throughout the month. The Activity Check ends tonight, so please post if you haven't already! We'd like to congratulate the two newest members of the staff team: Jay as our Character Supervisor and Snuff as our Advertising Specialist! We are glad to have you! We'd also like to thank everyone who applied and let you all know that there were plenty of qualified people for the positions. We'll probably need more staff in the future, and feel free to reapply! We'll have staff images up for Jay and Snuff sometime in the next week. Happy New Year's everybody!

- Uruviel -

12.28.12 - Welcome, Tas'alea! Today marks the release of the extinct island of Tas'alea. The Ryala Pack is preparing to leave the Occasus for safety as Pievunt-An sprays deadly debris and lava into the ocean and the desert. The wolves of Tas'alea are about to be introduced to a whole new world. For those of you who have not yet taken the Anikira Pop Quiz, it is a way that you can win an extinct wolf! In addition, the first week of January both the Extinct Character Slot and Extinct Character Creation will be a discounted bundle! So if you haven't won one and you've got the points, we'll have the package deal on sale December 30 - January 5 for 225 points! That's HALF OFF! The maps have been updated, so you can now view the island. Additionally, the weather now has a spot for Tas'alea's weather on the side bar.

- Uruviel -

12.26.12 - Alright, we've stopped accepting applications for our new staff positions! Please be patient with us, as we do have to review all the applications and come to a conclusion about our new staff members, so this will not be done right away. Expect the decision to be made around the first of the year when all the staff can be back on! For everyone who celebrates Christmas, I hope you had a wonderful time with friends and family. As a complete side note, those of you with threads with me, please PM me and remind me if you're waiting on me, as I'm trying to get caught up with staff stuff right now! I'd like to welcome all our new members as well. The official release for Tas'alea is still set for the 28th of this month! Anyone who has earned a free extinct wolf, I will start going through and reviewing those biographies in the next day or two. Until then, please do not post threads on the Tas'alea boards! Happy roleplaying!

- Uruviel -

12.19.12 - Well, the January OTM polls are up! In addition, we have added something new for all the members! Head on over to the Staff Announcements Board and check out the Anikira Pop Quiz! This is a great opportunity to learn more about the site as well as earn our featured prize! An activity check is in effect, so make sure that you post your characters before January 1, 2013. The activity check ends on New Year's Eve! I just now realized I've still been signing my announcements with Xinelil, so I fixed that too! Hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season.

- Uruviel -

12.12.12 - Alright everyone! I'd like to extend an official welcome (and welcome back!) to a lot of our new members within the last few weeks. We're so glad to have you! Additionally, we will be running an activity check within the next week, so be sure to keep your eyes on the Staff Announcements board so that you don't miss it! We are currently taking applications for two new staff members. If you are interested in a staff position, please fill out the application and PM it to myself or Nali. The open threads have also been updated. Hope everyone is having a wonderful week, and good luck to everyone with finals either this week or next week.

- Uruviel -

12.01.12 - Welcome to winter in Anikira! Today marks the start of mating season and also the introduction of our new winter skin! As always, credit for this beautiful skin goes to Tre. She's absolutely amazing and keeps us looking wonderful and beautiful! We have got fifteen more days of the Advertising Contest remaining, and it isn't too late to jump on in! Additionally, keep your eyes open for the release of Tas'alea sometime later this month. We've got a lot of great things in store for everyone. Good luck to everyone who is taking finals and finishing up the semester. We know that you all are busy, but we still love you hear from you in passing, even if there isn't time to post! Just let us know that you're still alive and that you're on low activity until the end of school. Happy roleplaying!

- Xinelil -

11.26.12 - I hope that everybody had a wonderful Thanksgiving Break! With the return of the regular week (yay >.>) comes the time of year when everyone starts to die - finals. Keep in mind that everyone is going to be having a lot going on, so be sure to take that into account with your threads. If you've been waiting for someone more than three or four days to post, please PM them and remind them about the thread. If a thread goes untouched for more than a week with no notification from the other people, please let a member of the staff know. Also, everyone please put your votes in for the OTMs! This month the votes are really close, and there is one poll that currently has a three-way tie! So we need everyone to make their voice heard and let us know who you think is deserving of this honor. A new item, pack expansion, has been added to the store for any pack that wants to claim an unclaimed territory to add to their pack's collection.

- Xinelil -

11.16.12 - Okay everyone! Today is the big day that we can start voting on OTMs for December! These polls will be open until the last day of the month, and the winners of each category will be posts and be credited their points at this time. We did not receive any nominations this month; remember, if you feel that someone is deserving of this honor, let us know! We will make sure they are a contender for the next month's OTM award. If you haven't done so, please take a look at the thread for Advertising Prizes so that we can get something determined and start running our contest. We love and appreciate you all!

- Xinelil -

11.07.12 - Hey there everyone! I've love if you could all go take a look at the newest post on the Staff Announcements board! We're going to be running an advertising contest, and we want you to pick the prizes! So we'll be taking suggestions from everyone about what they would like to see as prizes for the contest. So pop over there and throw out your ideas. Any and everything can be considered. We will also have OTMs running starting on the 15th to be awarded on the first of December. Got a suggestion of someone you'd like to see honored in OTMs? PM a staff member and we'll get them up for the vote. Make sure that any personal nominations you have are sent to a staff member by the 12th.

- Xinelil -

10.30.12 - Alright, so the free period for the Chernobyl Grey has officially expired. These wolves take up regular character slots, though, so if you are still interested in one, feel free to make it as one of your three regular characters or purchase an additional character slot. The scavenger hunt continues until November 3, so if you haven't already found all the candy, be sure to do so! We will be hosting an advertising contest in the next week, both for posting advertisements AND new advertising graphics, so be on the lookout.

- Xinelil -

10.28.12 - For anybody who has not already seen the post on the staff announcement board, please hurry on over and look at it! Or, you could just click HERE to save yourself some time! The rules have been updated to reflect the advanced aging of pups. Breeding season will be coming up here soon, so keep in mind that pups will now age at double speed until they turn one. We also have a couple months to go, but the planning for Ani's FIFTH YEAR ANNIVERSARY are already under way! Come January, there will be all sorts of fun and interesting activities. We'll be celebrating five years of roleplaying and bring in the new year with a bang!

- Xinelil -

10.23.12 - The activity check has concluded. If, by chance you did not reply to the activity check and your accounts were deleted, do not fret. If it has been less than a week since the end of the activity check, simply PM a staff member (of course you'll have to recreate the account!) to move your biography back to the Sacred Lives. A couple people I have seen online in the last few days but did not reply to the activity check. You guys have been given a warning level. If you stay active and reply to the next activity check, then this will go away without a problem. Just please keep your eyes open for these things! Be sure you're looking for the candies hidden all over the site. With the conclusion of the scavenger hunt, we may have a very important change to unveil for Anikira. You also have through the 28th to create your Chernobyl Grey for free - will not take up a character slot. Happy roleplaying!

- Xinelil -

10.21.12 - Alright, second update for the day! This never happens! I wanted to clue everyone in to the newest post on the Staff Announcements board. We are officially welcoming the Chernobyl Grey Wolf to Anikira! Take your time to read through this interesting breed's history. These wolves will be free for anyone to create - and will not take up a current character slot - through October 28, 2012. So anyone itching for a new character, step right up and make your Chernobyl Grey Today!

- Xinelil -

10.21.12 - Hey everyone! Tomorrow is the last day to respond to the activity check, so be sure to hurry over there to post your characters. Also, the start of Power Hungry's first round is well under way. Be sure to keep an eye on these threads, because everyone will get the chance to vote on the winners of each round! Today also marks the start of our Halloween Event! Keep your eyes open for the official rules to be posted later today, and have fun!

- Xinelil -

10.18.12 - Hey guys! If you haven't already taken time to reply, we are currently running another activity check. You've got until October 22nd to respond. Click here to reply! The Power Hungry contest has officially started so let's get ready to rumble! And, last but not least, be sure to keep your eyes pealed for an awesome Halloween event that will be starting on October 21st!

~ 'Nali ~

09.26.12 - Looking for something entertaining to do to earn some more points? Well, you've got a few more days to register for the Power Hungry competition! Check it out HERE and register your wolves to participate! Also, the liquid time limit has been increase to four (4) threads per character. Happy threading!

- Xinelil -

09.08.12 - Well, we haven't had an update up here in about three months (fail) so I figured it was time to post something. Activity is picking up, and here soon we should be releasing the new Anikira wolf breed. All the weather is accurate, as are (to the best of my knowledge) pack counts and wolf counts. The bans will be updated shortly.

- Xinelil -

06.07.12 - I'm sure most of you have noticed our smexy new layout! I'd like to give a big thank you to Tre for the new skin, and I'd like to let everyone know that our newest breed of wolf will be available within the week! To commemorate the release of our new wolf, any wolves of this breed created within the first week of its availability will be free (i.e. if you do not have any open character slots, you will not have to pay for one) and will not count against your open character slots! Happy roleplaying, everyone.

- Xinelil -

05.08.12 - I would like to congratulate our two newest staff members, Shayde as our Board Supervisor, Sea as our new Character Supervisor, and Scout as our new Advertising Specialist! We will hopefully be running an advertising competition here soon for those of you who are interested. In addition, make sure you vote on the New Species poll on the staff announcement boards. The new wolves will be available the first of June, and we'll make their release extra special for Anikira!

- Xinelil -

04.05.12 - I wanted to clue everyone in to the Open Staff Positions application thread!!! Click! Everyone who is currently an accepted member of Anikira has the ability to apply. Uru and I will only be taking applications until the end of the month, so hurry hurry!!

:: Tre ::

03.23.12 - Just catching up with everyone after a somewhat busy work week; I've awarded all points for those OTM winners. Congratulations to you all. Sham, Uru, Vani and Jay have all been working so hard! Also, we have the results for our brief scavenger hunt. First place, is Gem who won within a record setting 52 minutes!! Hooray!! Second and third place winners are Jay and Lisa. The three of you will be getting a pm from me shortly telling you what your additional prize includes.

Now that that is out of the way, please direct your attention to the Staff Announcement board where Uru has began the discussion of how we can get Anikira's packs more active. Click Here.

03.17.12 - Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!!! Since there is no way I'm turning this beautiful brown and pink skin all green... I do have some green hiding around for you though... I've hidden four leaf clovers throughout the site, in all different areas. There are 10 of them, that's right 10!! For each clover you find, you earn yourself 10 points. That's a possibility of 100 points in total! But I'll do you one better. The staff will also be awarding prizes for first, second and third place in addition to those 100 points. How do I get first place you ask? By being the first one to send me a pm with all 10 places listed. This contest will last until the end of Sunday. G'luck to ya! Here's what those fancy clovers look like:

:: Tre ::

03.15.12 - The March of the Months have ended and they have been updated in the sidebar. New OTM's will be up shortly. So be preparred to vote!!! Please feast your eyes on the magical spring layout. It's brand spankin' new. Obviously! -- I wanted to update everything down the side bar. But as you may notice, the whole "picture" of the layout isn't complete. I'm still working on a few things, and there are still some images that I have to fix. So please be patient with me. Other than that, keep your eyes open for little activities around St. Patty's day, this Saturday.

:: Tre ::

03.12.12 - The activity check has expired. Anyone who had accounts deleted that still wish to play their characters need to just recreate the account with the same username and it'll link to your old information. However, you will have lost all your points on the account.

- Xinelil -

03.02.12 - It is officially spring in Anikira. I would like to invite everyone to vote on the OTMs that have been posted up for March. Also, March marks the beginning of birthing season (though pups CAN still be conceived). We will have a new skin coming up here soon, and there will be the monthly activity check posted later today!

02.29.12 - Happy Leap Day everyone!!! I just wanted to post this today since it's only February 29th every fours years. Couldn't pass it up! -heh- Anyways, I do have some news to bring you. I've revised the "Weather" tab, and updated the Forecast, so please reflect that information in your posts for the next week or so. Also, with March literally right around the corner the Staff has a lot of new stuff coming up for everyone. So keep your eye out for March of the Months' and a new spring layout, and other little surprise tid-bits this Spring.

02.08.12 - I want to give a big THANK YOU to Tre for our new skin! Winter Blues is its name; be sure to adjust it in your profile to get the full effect of it. I'm going to run an activity check here soon to weed out old accounts; be sure to post for any characters you want to keep.

- Xinelil -

01.30.12 - Hey everyone. I'm sure you've noticed the lack of activity recently, and I'd like to apologize for my inattentiveness and for disappearing on you all. With that said, I mentioned in the C-box earlier this week about possibly shutting Anikira down. With that said, I'm trying my hardest to make Ani a priority in my life again alongside with my school work. I don't want it to close; also, tomorrow marks the four year anniversary of Anikira! I'm hoping to get a little something special worked up for tomorrow for everyone who comes around; hope to see you all soon!

01.02.12 - Happy New Year!! Hopefully everyone had a wonderful and safe holiday weekend! I've locked and archived quite a few of the old threads in each of the boards. I've updated the 'Open Threads' section of the side bar information. I'm working on updating a few other things around here that I see have not been touched in a few months. ^.^ I'm really looking forward to getting to know each of Anikira's new members.

12.12.11 - Hey guys, sorry for the absence of the staff and most of the members. As most of us understand, it is a difficult time of the year with traveling for the holidays and finals for most of us, it's going to be slow for the next few weeks. I ask that everyone bear with us, as we are certainly an active board, just on a bit of a rocky patch of the year!

- Xinelil -

11.30.11 - It's the end of November already... Wow. December OTMs are up, and prizes have been awarded. As of now, Zahir has been disbanded. No one is currently joining the pack and there has not been any interest expressed in it for quite some time. Alphas, I suggest doing a pack activity check as well as the main activity check in order to get who plans on staying in each pack. Thanks all.

- Xinelil -

11.28.11 - Happy Monday, I suppose. I've updated the weekly special in the store. There are also two contests up on the contest board at the bottom of the site, one for graphics and one for roleplaying! Also, be sure to post in the activity check on the staff board. This one is only being run for a week, so you've gotta get on it right away! If you have not voted for the OTMs for December (only four people have so far...) please get on that. Those will be closed around 3:00 PM CST on the 30th so I have time to update them.

- Xinelil -

11.04.11 - It's November everyone! A new thread is up on the staff board for site-wide plot ideas. Also, we are instituting a "Special of the Week" in the site's store. Every week, something from the store will have its price slashed dramatically! So be sure to take a look at what is on special for the week. OTMs are posted, and there is currently a run-off for Member of the Month on the staff board. Votes need to be in by the 7th, and then the award will be posted. I'm excited to see that, even after archiving the threads from last month, we still have a bunch of active ones up! Thank goodness for all of you great members!

- Xinelil -

10.26.11 - There have been a couple things recently that I would like to bring to your attention. Firstly, I'd like to welcome all of our new members to the board and thank you all for your dedication to Anikira. It's great members such as yourselves that keep a site like this running for the nearly four years we've been open! Second, I'd like to direct everyone to the member registry. Please CLICK THIS LINK and post with your information. I would really like to have everyone fill out the form by the end of next week. As an incentive, everyone who does so will receive 50 points to one of their accounts. You have until 11/4/11 to do this. Those of you who have already posted, I thank you, and you will automatically have the 50 points added to an account so no worries. Third, I want to put a little more emphasis on having your wolves join packs. With the founding of two new packs, it is easy to find one that will suit your characters. I encourage everyone to have the majority of their wolves as members of a pack. Fourth, we will hopefully have an advertising contest running from the beginning of next month until the end of November. Keep your eyes open for that! OTMs will be posted for November a little early (by this Friday) due to Halloween and the fact that I have two exams on the 1st. Happy roleplaying!

- Xinelil -

10.03.11 - Wow, it's October. And with that said, this months OTMs are up (and next month Sea and I will be disqualified, EEP!) So we're probably going to be looking at doing some sort of contest with the approach of Halloween and all... I definitely won't be on here that night because it's one of the best holidays in college!!! But I just wanted to welcome all of our new members and let you know how glad we are to have you here. The open threads on the side bar have been updated, and I'm going to start fiddling around with the Pack Registry board that you now see in the top category. There's an activity check going on through the 21st, so be sure to post to be sure you characters are not touched!

- Xinelil -

9.14.11 - Happy Wednesday guys. Today, I learned how difficult it is to do OTMs with only four people on the site that are currently posting; granted, we've got some serious roleplaying going on between us. I'm extremely proud of you guys's dedication and I count my blessings for having you every day. With that said, the new OTMs are up for you to vote on, and I've been doing my best to get as many advertisements up on other boards, as well as keeping on on Proboards Support, to look for new members. On that note, I'd like to announce Seadragoness as our new Advertising Specialist! I'm going to need some help keeping up with this stuff, and I'm excited to have help!

- Xinelil -

9.7.11 - I cleaned out the inactive members today. Thankfully, we've still got 35 accounts left. I'm going to put a special emphasis on advertising this month, as we need to get some new roleplayers here in order to keep the board active! Thank you for everyone who has continued to be optimistic and stuck around through the reworking of the staff and the board as a whole. You guys are great, and that's why I stick around.

- Xinelil -

8.22.11 - I know I just posted an update a few days ago, but I need to be honest with you guys. I don't know what has happened to Anikira, but it's losing its member base. If we can't pick things up and put them back together, I'm going to have to close the site down. I really don't want to do that, but without a supportive member base and consistent staff, we're not going to be able to keep things going. Keep this in mind; if you want the site to stay open, please post with your characters. Show me that some of you still care about this site, because this place is my baby. If it's coming to an end, then I'm going to have to be alright with that, but I don't want to shut Ani down when there are still people around who care about it. I've put many years into this board, and I hate to see it go to waste.

- Xinelil -

8.18.11 - Wow, it's been really quiet around here lately, guys. On that note, we've got a current activity check up. If you do not post within the time frame, your characters will be deleted; no exceptions. So please be sure to account for all your characters. School is getting ready to start for a lot of us (me being no exception!) so I understand trying to balance real life and your online life. With that in mind, please do not neglect your studies for something such as roleplaying. Your future is definitely more important (unless you're a creative writing major!) Admin out!

- Xinelil -

8.05.11 - I wanted to remind everyone of the Liquid Time limitations. I've been seeing a few characters bouncing all over the place. Please remember that if your character belongs to a pack, they cannot leave the territory unless on a direct mission from the Alpha, or for plot reasons. If your character is a loner, they can only belong in two threads, max, and only in adjacent territories. No cross country travelling. For those those of you who may be in violation of the Liquid Time limitations, please finish your threads and don't repeat the mistake.

:: Tre ::

7.05.11 - It's about time for a new announcement up here. We should be getting the OTMs posted here shortly (in fact I will do that after this!). Also, a new item has been added to the store. You can now "sublet" a pack! Basically, if you want your own pack but there are no territories currently available for claiming, you can "rent" a portion of an alpha's territory to establish your own pack. You must discuss this with the current territory's alpha, and there must be at least three wolves to create a subletted pack. No more than two packs can occupy one territory at a time, including the main pack of the region. Happy roleplaying!

- Xinelil -

6.23.11 - As you can see, we got the new summer skin up! The activity check is over; I will be sending out an email as a last chance offer to those who did not reply to it, and by Monday, those who have not responded will have their accounts deleted. Be sure to keep posting and watching out for any contests we have going on (yes, there will probably be one here soon!)

- Xinelil -

6.16.11 - For those of you who have not posted in the activity check CLICK HERE! You only have until the 21st to post, and as far as I can tell, none of the current absence notices apply to the people who have not accounted for their characters. I finally got the table here fixed up, and some of the posting is beginning to pick up! Make sure to check threads that you're in to be certain that the thread isn't waiting on you. I know that's the problem with a lot of the posting because members are waiting on someone else to post.

- Xinelil -

6.13.11 - Alright, the June OTMs are up for voting! Be sure to take a look at who's up for what and cast your votes. Also, keep your eyes open for a new summer skin that should be up in the next week! We could really use a little activity around here, so please be sure to stop by and post where you need to or jump in an open thread. The activity check is going on right now, and you have until the 21st to post. With that said, happy summer to everyone!

- Xinelil -

06.01.11 - Guess what? It's summer! The season has changed and (hopefully) most people are out of school for the mean time. This means we'll have an activity check going up in the next few days to see who's still around after all the craziness of the end of school phase. Be sure to check the open threads and see if you can start some roleplaying, because the board's been a little blase lately. We need to get some fun roleplaying and mini-plots going on here!

- Xinelil -

05.14.11 - 'Ello all! Just a heads up, the sidebar has been updated. May's OTMs are officially announced and prizes have been awarded. Congrats to all our winners! We also have a new set of open threads waiting to be joined, so check those out if you're looking for a new place to post. Mating season has officially ended and the birthing season is in full swing. Several characters are expecting pups over the next few months, so if you're interested in playing a pup, check out the New Life board.

05.11.11 - Hey guys. I thought I'd put an update up here since it's been half a month since we've done so! OTMs are closed and will be put on the side bar later, but we'll be placing the new voting up the BEGINNING of next month instead of the 15th (or at least I think that's what we agreed on!) If you haven't posted on the member list on the staff announcements board, please post there. If anything needs to be updated, just repost the form and I'll get that traded out. I should be getting internet here soon and if I don't, I might scream. So here's to hoping I'll be back on for good here soon!

- Xinelil -

04.24.11 - First off, HAPPY EASTER! I know everyone's kind of in a slump right now. But if you aren't going to be posting, PLEASE put up an absence notice. It's kind of frustrating when you're waiting for a post and you don't know whether that person is going to be around or not. So if you're busy, it's totally cool! Just be sure to put up a notice for those of us who are still around. OTM voting ends here in six days, so be sure to get your vote up before those are locked.

- Xinelil -

04.17.11 - Okay, I know I did an update only four days ago! But since then, I (FINALLY) got around to putting the territories into Xisyn! Now that territory is fully open to roleplay in its various sub-boards and will, eventually, be claimable. Aldgar has been dissolved as a pack, so if you had a character in the pack or planned on joining, it is no longer there. That land will remain unclaimable for a while until we as a staff figure out what to do with the remaining unclaimed lands. I know that sometimes this time of year can be stressful with school stuff (I know it is for me!) and we understand if you are not quite as active. Please leave an absence note if you plan on being on low activity for more than a week, just so we know that you haven't bailed on us. Also, continue with advertising! Thank you to all the great new members that are joining as well!

- Xinelil -

04.13.11 - The OTMs for May are now open for voting. Since April only has 30 days, I put them up a couple days early to make the running time about the same! Also, after this month, OTMs will be put up on the FIRST of the month for the following month! There are still plenty of open threads, so please put your characters in them so we can get some awesome roleplaying going on!

- Xinelil -

04.01.11 - Happy April Fool's day everyone! Hopefully you all are playing jokes on everyone you know and having a good time. As for me, I wish this six inches of snow - yes snow, was an April Fools joke... Sadly it's not. Anyways, the OTM's have been updated so go check 'em out! A special congratulations goes out to Nile for having won a majority of the spotlights, including Member, Character, and Thread OTM's. If you could also direct your attention to the April 'Spring Clean-up' Activity Check. [link]

03.18.11 - First off, congratulations to Jay for winning Character OTM with Toiro. Well deserved. Secondly, we have April's OTM polls up and running, and although most of us have already voted on the nominees, please direct your attention that way as soon as possible. If you all could take great care in only voting once, that would be fabulous. If you are unsure of your voting status, pm one of the staff members and we can tell you The 'Open Threads' information has been updated; though we would like to see some of those threads wrapping up. If you are looking for a place to post with your character, please check out those threads first before starting a new one. Thank you! ^^

03.03.11 - Voting for most of our spotlights has ceased. Congratulations to Member OTM 'Nali (yay me!), Couple OTM Denali and Exodus, Threat OMT Rapture and Thread OTM Ghost of a Chance. Because Character OTM ended in a tie, we are running a second round of votes to determine a winner. Voting ends in five days, so best get on it!

Also, spring is now upon us. The mating season is in full swing, as well as the birthing season. Any pups conceived last mating season are expected to arrive, so if you've got pups on the way or are planning on playing someone's pup, it's time to start getting all the information finalized! Congrats to all the expectant mothers!
