This is my new bi-weekly newspaper style article where I will cover basic news that has been happening around the VP community and outside world. I had a lot of fun planning and writing this, so I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Also a HUGE shout out to my awesome layouter BaileyyRosee!! Also a shout out to Maija who helped to inspire the name!
VP App?
As many of you know, it was announced that VP would finally be getting a mobile app! I think this is great, but I can't help but have a few concerns and questions. First of all, will the chat system completely replace the mail system? I feel like messages are going to be easier to overlook and ignore if that is the case. I would hope both systems of communicating will remain. Secondly, with the release of the app, the site will probably see an increase in the number of people online, but can the server really handle it? We have seen the site run very slowly when more than 300 people are online (especially during the Halloween event). I hope the servers can be upgraded to allow more players to enjoy the experience without having to worry so much about lag.
New BT Members
It's nice to see blog team up and running again, and with some new members! After a few struggles with some of their members leaving, the team has added two new members! Please help me in welcoming September and Creeper to the team! We all look forward to seeing what you guys have to say. I sat down with September for a quick interview. How did you become a member? I became a member because people quit for different reasons. DEAR deleted her account, and I was second in the poll. Also because I made some blogs every week so they decided I could be one ^-^ How does it feel to be a part of the BT? It feels good, but a bit confusing Do you have any plans for blogs you will do? Yes! ATM I'm planning a No Shave November article!
Thank you, September!
ForumTeam
Speaking of teams, looks like the Forum Team is making a comeback! With Scoff and TheWayfaringStranger taking over, I'm excited to see what they will have in store for us. Keep an eye out, because applications will be coming soon! I personally think this is the right approach for them. I hope they can find some good active members who will share in the work. Keep up the great work ladies! Edit: Forum Team applications are now available! You can find them at this link
HalloweenEvents
I would also like to take this time to thank the teams and designers who helped make the 13 days of Halloween a success. A lot of time and effort was put into it, and you all did a wonderful job. Now let's take a nice deserved break before Christmas starts!
Horoscopes for week of November 7th
Scorpio This week is all about focusing on family, and most importantly, yourself! Take a road trip or day outing with a family member you don't get to spend time with often, they may surprise you. Don't forget to focus on some R and R while you're at it.
Sagittarius A major change is coming, and it looks like it's the right direction for you. Don't be afraid to try something new this week, as you might find yourself enjoying it more than you thought. Just watch out for overspending.
Capricorn This is your chill week Capricorn! Make this week all about pampering yourself, you've earned it. Enjoy a nice bubble bath, or maybe take a day to pamper yourself with a much-needed spa day!
Aquarius Looks like love is in the air! Maybe someone new will catch your eye, or you'll make a breakthrough with a potential suitor. Just be yourself, and everything will fall into place.
Pisces Balancing everything on your plate is a big challenge this week. Try not to let yourself get too overwhelmed. Don't make any rash decisions this week, and instead take time to think things through.
Aries All that hard work is finally paying off! Took long enough, though. Just remember to keep motivated and don't give up to reach your goals!
Taurus You are very passionate this week Taurus. Whether it's with work, school, or personal life, you are dedicated to getting what you want to accomplish. Let your passion show!
Gemini You're going to have some struggles this week with people. Whether it's on a group project or with a loved one, there will be some conflict. Hold your ground, but try listening to the sides of the others as well.
Cancer There's a new spark in a relationship this week, and just at the right time! Things had been looking slow, but all the dedication will pay off. Don't let things get repetitive.
Leo You're struggling to mix business with pleasure this week, and it's starting to take its toll. Try to find a solid middle ground, and things will start to look up.
Virgo You're feeling very creative this week. Try making something new. Maybe draw something you've been meaning to draw, or write a short story or poem. The possibilities to your creativity are endless.
Libra Things have been slow on the love front, and it's getting frustrating. Don't give up now. Keep an open mind and sooner or later your bound to take that step forward.
Please note, these are all for fun. I have no idea how to make "accurate" horoscopes, so please bare in mind. A few of these are based loosely off ones I've found online. Thank you.
