WEEK of JULY 7^th, 2019
Hello wonderful community members! It's that time of the week, and we have a new newsletter hot off the presses! We're in our ninth week of our new community, and now we can celebrate more wonderful members! We are coming up on opening day, and we couldn't be more excited. Newsletters will officially be released on Sundays from here on out, so let's get cracking!

Let's welcome our newest members:
1. catheart
2. smolsmoke
3. mara
4. Hailfire
5. taiihun
6. Bee
7. fawnheart
8. acornpaw

Can you believe how far we've come in just two months? We owe it all to you guys!

We are almost at 150 members on our Discord! I wonder what will happen when we finally hit that benchmark? Seeing as we had a banner contest at 100, I bet it's going to be something extra special!

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Beyond our new members, we have some very exciting announcements that should tickle your fancy:

» THE BANNER CONTEST is underway! It will remain open until a week after we open -- so make sure you start drawing for that sweet, sweet prize of 2000 dA points or something equivalent in value!

» OUR COMMUNITY IS OPENING tomorrow July 8th, 2019. What does this mean? Is there a schedule of events? Read on to find out!

» A COMMUNITY SATISFACTION SURVEY is still live! We are dedicated to serving you, and the best way to evaluate how well we are doing is to ask directly! Please remember that we are looking for constructive criticism. Mudslinging doesn't help to fix any problems you might be having.

You can access it by »clicking here«! This is not the survey for map feedback.

MAP OPENING
It's time! We're going to be opening our doors on July 8th, 2019. Are you excited? We're excited! To celebrate, our first gathering will be held July 14th most likely during the early afternoon so that you guys can hang out in the evening.

What does opening day look like for our community?

At exactly 2:00 PM CST (3:00 PM EST), we will begin by mass recruiting in The Grounds. At 6:00 PM CST (7:00 PM EST) the first version of the map will be available for download on our website. In case you forgot from last week's newsletter, we are doing a patch system.

Here's a recap from last time:

Recent developments in real life (work, grievously ill family member, etc.) have kept me from being able to sit down and really concentrate on finishing the map, but I do not want that to hold you guys back from being able to begin  your characters' stories in The Wild Woods. In recognition of this, we will be releasing biweekly patches to make sure that everything gets to where it should be! Some patches might even come out sooner!

Here's a breakdown of what the patches will include:
> Moonstone/Other landmarks (base landmarks will be placed!)
> ThunderClan territory details
> ShadowClan territory details
> Supplementary areas (Twoleg places, farm, etc.)

I'll reiterate: this choice is for you guys! We want you to be able to get on the map and start RPing. We wouldn't want you guys to have to wait for the full map. 

At the same time, we will be updating the discord server with official RP channels. You will be seeing more information about this in the upcoming week. Get pumped for opening day!

With that in mind, hold onto your pants as we get moving into the beginning of our canon with our very first community wide plot. It'll be coming at you hot right out of the gates!

WEEKLY EVENTS
» THE DEMO MAP GAMES are being hosted by @purge and Riley. ♛ so make sure to keep an ear open for scheduling announcements!

» SLEEPOVER GAME NIGHT is being hosted by @meekajoy for this upcoming Saturday. Participate in all day activities and hang out with your fellow community members!

MYSTERY ACHIEVEMENT -- What's this achievement? Could it possibly relate to being online on July 8th, 2019?

CONSTELLATION BUDDIES -- You recruited a friend to join The Wild Woods!

With that concludes the ninth newsletter of The Wild Woods! We are so excited to have you, and we can't wait to see how much this role-play changes over the coming months!

Courteously and Forever Yours,
Chigger
Chief Community Coordinator
