Hello! Apologies for this being so late again! I'd say I'll do better but I really don't know with my random schedule sometimes and last minute things popping up :')

I will say this now though that I will be traveling to Japan later this month from September 12 - September 30 (but realistically, probably won't have energy to do anything until October 1st at the earliest as I arrive home at night, if not a bit later than that) and thus will not be able to do much, if anything at all, during that time! Which means I will either be counting on yasu to take care of the weekly updates during my absence or we might do a light hiatus(?) of sorts during that time as many things won't be taken care of while I'm gone.

We'll keep you updated on what will happen as we get closer to my leaving date though so please don't worry or anything! I just wanted to give you all a heads up, as I will be trying to finish as much things as possible before I leave (hopefully, anyways; we'll see lol) so at least when I return, we won't be too behind on stuff.

Now, let's get to the rest of the monthly round up! The next update will be September 6th.

EVENT CARDS

We have two! One for September, and one for reaching 50 members (including hiatuses but not pending).

ev-202309, ev-50members

For the monthly event card, you can take it any point during the month no matter when you joined! For the 50 members event card, only those who were a member before today (or if you're an OG prejoiner who joins later) can take it.

MONTHLY HOUSEKEEPING

• Monthly site & forum games are now updated! I know I said I'd start Four Seasons this month but with how my schedule is looking, I don't think it's possible to right now, plus I'll admit that I've been slacking on finishing the tasks for it so I'll aim to start it for the Winter season (Dec. - Feb.)!
• Donations have reset so any claims from last month that weren't submitted on time have been cleared from the spreadsheet, and can now be re-claimed by the original player or someone else! Of course, regular claiming is open as well.
• September babies can now claim their birthday present and apply for their achievement badge on the forums! If you forget to before the end of the month, you'll miss out on it until next year~
• Lastly, we have our new Sakura Spotlight member! Congrats to Mio for being chosen this month!!
