Tyranus Quaestor Report 14: The Hat Takes a Leap (Year)

Heeeellllooooo Tyrants!

Welcome to the February house report! On the surface, January has been a quiet month, but you have hit the ground running in 2024.

As a reward, this year you get an extra day to be awesome!

That’s right, it’s a leap year! Now, let’s take a look back at what's been going on in Plag and how we can spend that extra day earning more XP and credits!

House Tyranus News

I want to start off by thanking everyone who has taken the time to fill out the member survey, if you haven’t yet, that’s fine! You still can here. We have been looking over your responses and making some plans, you may have noticed some of that in action such as more competitions being run, some fun social gaming nights for you to join in and of course the clan RP currently running to get members comfortable with the system.

All of these things have been organized based on feedback we’ve received, but this is just the beginning. The entire summit has been working tirelessly to make this the year of Plag and you are all key parts of that.

Another step in that plan is encouragement.

We want to encourage and support you in getting more involved in different activities and try something new. Have an idea for some competitions, roleplaying sessions or want to host your own social night and need a hand? Let us know! We are here to help guide and support you, and of course award shinnies….

Speaking of which…
