Apologies for the delay. I was debating whether or not to post this update before another planned post, and have decided to get this one up and post the other one next week. I've added the new Fiona familiars, [b]Fleetfoot Ampelope[/b] and [b]Inkwell Foo[/b], as well as their respective Feat entries to the sheet. I've also made some changes to the update sheet - on the Fiona Feats tab and Coliseum Guide, I've added a quick-reference column with a link to that tab's update tutorial and a breakdown of the formulas required for reference or use. You don't need to use it, but it's there if you need it! Let me know if it disrupts your ability to update these tabs, so I can remove them if they're causing issues. Have a great weekend!

Figured I'd get this out ahead of the ice holiday this weekend. This should be everyone not on the new pinglist. If I accidentally missed you and you got pinged despite being on the new list, disregard this post. [b][u]This is the final notice[/u] - if you'd like to receive updates via ping, please join the new pinglist using the widget below[/b] (also linked on the main post): [center][pinglist=2209][/center] Once you've joined, or if you decide you don't want updates anymore, you don't need to do anything else - I've retired the removal form and the old list, so anyone not on the new list will be "removed" by default. [b]I will be using this new list exclusively from now on, and will not be sending out any more updates or notices using the old pinglist. If there's a reason you can't use the new system and [u]you'd still like to receive updates[/u], the alternatives are:[/b] [LIST] [*]Following the thread using the star in the upper-right corner. [*][i]On a case-by-case basis[/i], I'm willing to keep a small traditional pinglist of users up to the determined limit for group pings (we'll cap at 15 for now). It will be routinely culled of inactive users. PM me if you're interested in this option. [/LIST] Thanks everyone!

I've added the new familiars, [b]Snowdrop of Crystalline[/b] and [b]Aries[/b], to the sheet. As usual, let me know if you see any issues or noticed I forgot something! [b]Some additional changes:[/b] [u]Update Sheet[/u] I've deleted the update tabs for the old version of the sheet. My reasons for doing so are as follows: [LIST] [*]These tabs hadn't been updated since 2021, after I stopped official support for the old sheet. [*]Those still using the old sheet likely know how to format their own updates at this point, and the new sheet is functionally the same, so having both sets of tabs was redundant. [*]These tabs may cause visual clutter and confusion for those just now finding the sheet. [/LIST] I've also reorganized and color-coordinated the remaining tabs to reflect the order and colors of their corresponding tabs on the main sheet. Have a great week!

I've added the new familiars, [b]Rosa Cerdae[/b], [b]Tendertiel[/b], and [b]Blushing Tendertiel[/b], to the sheet. As usual, let me know if you see any issues or noticed I forgot something! [b]Some additional changes and notes:[/b] [LIST] [*][u]Sweetheart Swan[/u]: Changed the source location from Swipp to Susie's Sweet Sentiments. [*][u]Google Sheets Security Update[/u]: Google seems to have implemented a new (or at least, new to me) security measure requiring you to confirm acceptance of data imported from third-party sites (in our case, copy-pasting an image link from FR). When copy-pasting an entry with these links from the update sheet, you'll notice a yellow banner pop up asking if you want to allow the sheet to import data from an external site. As far as I'm aware, you should only have to click this banner once; please let me know if this isn't the case! I've noticed an increased delay when sorting entries due to this change, however, so I'm going to look into image hosting alternatives to improve sheet performance. [/LIST] Have a great week!

I've added the new Springswarm familiars, [b]Swarm Sovereign[/b] and [b]Swarming Devourer[/b], to the sheet. These can be found in the Regular category, as usual. I've also added the new seasonal familiars, [b]Plumed Wintertail[/b] and [b]Plumed Springtail[/b], to the sheet. I've placed them under Holiday and Retired familiars due to their seasonal nature but you're welcome to place them in whichever tab works best for you!

There's also some additional questions at the end that are optional.

Happy MistJam [emoji=firework size=1] I've added the new fest familiar, [b]Daffodil of Mistral[/b], to the sheet. You can find it in its usual spot, Holiday and Retired Familiars. Sorry for the incoming text wall - it's mainly about last update's survey so feel free to disregard if you aren't interested [emoji=skydancer winking size=1] [rule] [emoji=brown gem size=1][u][b]Survey on Seasonal Familiars: Result Summary[/b][/u] Thank you to those who submitted their feedback to my survey last update! I think I've gotten some good responses, so I've closed the survey. Based on the feedback I've gotten, it seems making a tracking tab (in the style of Fiona/Gathering/etc) might better serve tracking these familiars without moving too much around. I actually had this idea briefly [i]after[/i] posting the survey, ironically, so I was glad to see mentions of this alternative in the results. [b]SO - going forward for the time being, I'll be keeping familiars where they currently are.[/b] I'm going to start working on a tracking tab in the meantime, and hopefully will have something to show you soon! [rule] [emoji=brown gem size=1][u][b]Sheet 2.0..? +New sheet version[/b][/u] [b]Sheet 2.0[/b] I also mentioned in the survey whether or not there'd be any interest in a sheet restructure. The answer was mostly yes, so when I'm able I'm going to begin working on a 2.0 version of the sheet. My goal is to better streamline and de-clutter the current sheet, which may involve some major category changes, familiar movement, and the addition or removal of certain tabs. This sheet will be kept separate, and I'll make sure the update sheet is compatible with both 1.0 and 2.0 so those who prefer 1.0 can keep using it! [b](Hopefully) Coming soon - image-free version + formatting tutorial[/b] I also asked about two sheet variants I thought about offering, and since there wasn't much interest, I've opted to not move forward with one of them. However, I'm still going to look into putting out an image-free version with elements of the version I scrapped. This will likely come out when the new tracking tab does! I'm also considering creating a quick crash-course tutorial on how to format on Sheets instead of just making tons of variants to have to update. That way, everyone will be able to customize their sheets to their individual needs if desired. [rule] I'll be sure to keep you all updated as I work towards these things, or if plans change. Thanks everyone! Have a great week! [emoji=skydancer happy size=1][emoji=gust size=1] [rule] [center] @pinglist-2209 [/center]

Thanks for updating on the results, dunno what I'd do without all the work you do making this tracker available! [emoji=rainbow star 1 size=1]
