The Tainted Times - July/August 2017

[Songstress]

July was far, far too quiet... so the Tainted Times took a month off to let you all catch up.  
 
Without further ado... Your BLACK TOWER NEWS.  Because yay!

 
 
 

NEW ARRIVALS

Another three brave and crazy individuals joined our ranks in August...
 
Pageboy popped in mid-month to align with the saidin wielders...
 
Technically a return after an extreeeeemely long absence, Nynaeve decided to give the other side of the Source a whirl...
 
And finally, Gentled Ben stopped lurking in the corners of the practice yard and stepped forward for training.  Good on ya, friend.
 
 
 

PROMOTIONS

Stay tuned!  With the return of our Lady Dragon after a sojourn without internet access in the wilderness, we should have news to report soon!
 
For those who are interested in finding your way into this list, see our offsite info page for specifics on what One Power levels you'll need to rank up. If you have questions, just ask!  
 
 
 

ANNOUNCEMENTS

The restoration of the spiffy offsite rollers that are smarter than you and I combined is still in progress (TMD and Nikon are too scary to nag about it, you know?), but for those who are dying to try out their new One Power levels and get your battle on, the old version of the rollers that require manual input are back up and ready for use - click here to find the Dore Saidin roller, and here if you need the True Power roller.

 

 
 
 

EVENTS AND GAMES

Since our last Tainted Times update, BFG's BT Bonded Mafia game has come and gone, resulting in a thrilling Town win. 
 
Niniel's WoT Kids themed mafia game is underway!
 
If you missed out on the mafia, don't worry, another game is always in the works... in the meantime, Niniel's started an A-Z game with rotating topics for your game-playing pleasure.

By the way, I'm planning on updating the Points Page today, but no guarantees as I'm kinda ill after a very busy week with a lot of late nights and stuff.

I always get confused by the dates as well. :D

 

 

Great with a new edition of the Tainted Times! Yay for new members!
