Hi! It's me again! After talking with yasu, she's agreed to do the remaining updates in September as well as the monthly update for October while I'm away, so you guys gets me again for this week!

Everything should run as normal otherwise, except for resolving any errors/issues that might pop up, so we ask for your understanding if anything takes a while to get done, especially custom graphics and general upkeep. yasu will basically be the only admin around to do things and she's also busy with RL stuff so of course, she can't be constantly online or available. I will probably be bringing my laptop with me when I travel so I won't technically be completely MIA but there will only be so much I can do! Be good, follow the rules, etc!!!!

SITE NEWS

7th Anniversary Freebies: There was a typo in the reward log I provided for the non-choice card freebies so if you already collecting these freebies, please make sure you took & logged 700 petals! Additionally, if you haven't yet, please make sure to either 1) comment on that update once you've taken it so that Jessica can add it to your account on-site and you can actually use it in the shops; or 2) make a post in the Currency Exchange thread on the forums asking for the flowers and petals to be added (but please message Jess first to check if she's already added yours beforehand!!).

Trade Meters Wish: As of this update going up, trading rewards has been reverted to its original state, meaning trade meters are back to needing 20 trade points in order to complete one! Hopefully many of you got to take advantage of this wish and got a lot of good cards from it~

The next update will be September 13 and this (today's update) will be the last one from me until October!

Wishing Tree

Please take 2 cards per deck if there are no restrictions specified otherwise!

1. Joey — I wish for 6 warm-colored (red, pink, orange, yellow, brown) cards OR cool-colored (blue, green, purple, gray/black/white) cards! Choose only ONE (1) of the groups but you can combine different colours within the same group (warm/cool). No more than 2 per deck!   
2. Eli & saya — I wish for choice cards spelling BACKTOSCHOOL!

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!!
