A note! So, we've had our newsletter for 2 months, soon-to be going on to three months. Wow, you guys weren't joking when you said "it's difficult to keep up with" when I first posted the interest topic. But I have been pleasantly and consistently surprised at how lovely the staff team is behind the scenes, and how kind and engaging you, our readers, are! We'll keep at it as long as we can. Thank you so so so much for all of your funny PMs, comments, and feedback. You are all very much appreciated. I do want to touch base on a few things! [list] [*]Applications are permanently open. It's not really even an application, you just need to: [b]send me (@liteweaver) a PM with what you like to do, like are you a numbers person, an artist, coding, proofreading, staff emotional support, etc, and I'll send you a link to the server. [/b] I really enjoy having a larger staff because it is quite easy to get burned out + real life just has a funky way of popping up and taking people away from Flight Rising. Which is 1000% why our newsletter isn't posted at a specific time. Shout out to work, school, pets, kids, the need to sleep, and eat.....! [*]Sections will be moving around, disappearing, and re-appearing over the next few weeks! There will also be some new sections that will be tested for feasibility. Never be afraid to make suggestions or provide feedback. All I ask if that you're not rude about it. Heavy on the feel free to make suggestions! This is a community based newsletter, so whatever you want to see, is important to us. [*]I have a little request! If I post topics, and you end up engaging with one of them, could you do me a favor, and post here on this topic that you popped into a suggested topic? I'd like to keep track (somehow) of what y'all are actually enjoying and engaging with, haha. [*]The giveaway winners will be kept to people that engage with the newsletter in someway. This also includes sending over your answers for the crossword. This isn't to say we don't appreciate our lurkers, we do! But I definitely want to make sure prizes are being sent over to users that are active on site + even remember that they're subscribed to this topic. [*]Our artists all volunteer their work, so sometimes we won't have badges. I never ever want any of the staff to feel as if they are required to do art for this. [/list] I think that is everything I can think of for now. I'm sure I'll bolt up off my couch in a few hours, run back to my desktop, and have to fix something, but until then.....here's the newest edition!![/quote] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/H1sgaHX.png[/img][/center] ----- -----

[center][img]https://i.imgur.com/Hc3EKzp.png[/img] [i]a small sample of some topics that i found while clicking around the forums and sort of lurking.[/i][/center] [quote=some topics you may enjoy] The thing about FRD is that you have probably already seen a lot of the topics that I would normally post here, but it doesn't hurt to have a quick refresher in case you missed something. ....[b]Flight Rising Discussion[/b]... One of my questions has been posed again, [b][i][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/frd/3327330]if you had to switch flights, which flight would you move to?[/url][/i][/b] I think I'd move to Earth, and I'd end up being one of those classic Earth flight players that has one of the most aesthetic earth toned lairs ever. I know we celebrate birthdays (sort of) in our newsletter, but here's a [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/frd/2980109][b][i]birthday master-list[/b][/i][/url] for every player on Flight Rising that would like to join [emoji=birthday cake size=1]. It has been updated very recently, too!! That's pretty much all that caught my eye for FRD since a lot of topics are casual conversational/observation topics and ones about Marva which has passed. [emoji=special eyes size=1] [center][emoji=cloud size=1][/center] [b]....Suggestions Forum...[/b] Let's take a journey over to, and I think this is a first, the suggestions forum! Everyone deserves to have their opinions and suggestions heard, maybe these are really good ideas to you, or you have some concerns, if you want, you can chime in? This is a unique suggestion, that I haven't seen before - [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/sug/3324773][b][i]should players be able to cancel a nest if they accidentally breed two dragons they didn't mean to?[/b][/i][/url] Idunno. Breeding is one aspect of the site I rarely utilize, but I am interested to follow the topic. Admittedly, the longer I read through a lot of the topics, they're the same suggestions we've been making for a long time - no shade - just it is what it is. However, while this topic is REALLY old (3 years), it may be worth taking a look at. [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/sug/3039023][i][b]It's about adding a new NPC to the game for the coliseum![/b][/i][/url] The topic includes mock-ups, too. It is pretty neat. [center][emoji=cloud size=1][/center] [b]....Dragon Share...[/b] I am so very picky about the genes I give my handful of dragons, and it feels like distress tolerance when I venture into topics dedicated to genes I don't like very much at all! Soap is one of those genes, but I admit that this [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/drs/3327591][i][b]Soap show off topic makes some compelling arguments.[/i][/b][/url] Really compelling! I might go hang out in the AH, and consider some new dragons...haha jk...unless. Anyway, if you want a little pick me up in the way of some likes on some of your dragons, [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/drs/3145162][i][b]you can like OP's dragons in exchange for them liking some of yours.[/b][/i][/url] Everyone's dragons deserve some love. [emoji=familiar heart size=1] Yooo, I ADORE when old topics are still around. This one is from 2019. [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/drs/2737352][i][b]Did you find or buy an interesting dragon from the AH?[/i][/b][/url] You can collect a badge for it. Speaking of badges! The creativity of this community is never ending. [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/drs/3313764][b][i]There's a new cult? Wait, no, a Colony you can join + collect a badge if you like nature.[/i][/b][/url] It's very fun! I don't think my spoiled Aethers would not have a good time in the dirt and mud, haha. [center][emoji=cloud size=1][/center] [b]....General Discussion...[/b] This subforum does lack a lot of dragons, but there are a lot of fun topics to find in here. This next one isn't fun, but it's so very real. [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/gend/3327194][i][b]Do you have any sad song suggestions?[/i][/b].[/url] I do, but I don't want to cry right now. The last topic I have for y'all is a really easy one for those of us that love to read. So, [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/gend/3311376][i][b]what're you reading?[/i][/b][/url] [center] --- [/center] That is what we have for topics this week! This formatting is waaaay easier than the other one. I might still play around with it, but I do like the laid back conversational style.[/quote] ----- ----- [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/Y5uHEAJ.png[/img] [i]A nice refresher for navigating around Flight Rising![/i] [b]By:[/b] CrumbledCandy[/center] [quote][center][emoji=subscription update size=1][i]Does the dragon match the eyes, or do the eyes match the dragon?
