{ A T T E N T I O N » Updates on {BANK} & {CHARACTER AGING}

[⋆ Phia ⋆]

Attention HITS Members!

It's time for another announcement! This time, I have 2 issues to talk about; the well-known Bank that has been implemented, as well as one slightly complicated issue- character aging. Both concern all of you, so please keep reading.

The Bank!

Like you have all realised, a (terribly glitchy) Bank has been floating around on the menu bar. The bank is a feature the coder of our Monetary System has added, meaning that the two go together. We are not particularly in need of a bank, but due to certain malfunctions and errors, we can't exactly remove it yet. Just like some of you might have noticed, once you have deposited HS to the bank, it's kind of tricky to get them back. I personally haven't even figured out how. Which is why we're looking to get rid of it. However, Staff have no power over members' HS that have been deposited into the bank, which means that if we take it away now, all HS currently in the bank will be lost.

So what will we do about that? I recall plenty of you discussing how to deposit and withdraw HS from the bank in the chat box before- if anybody has figured out how to successfully withdraw money from the bank, we would appreciate it if you could share! We need everybody to withdraw all HS they might have in the bank within the following week. All of it. On the 14th of March, the bank will be taken away. It will not be possible to retrieve any HS after that.

Can't withdraw your HS? That's okay! PM a Staff or post here with the amount of HS you have trapped in the bank, by providing a screenshot. Staff will then give you back whatever you might have lost. Don't leave this for later. If needed, do it now.

Character Aging!

Now, it has come to my attention some of you are already aging your characters following the old aging system (1 moon = 1 week). This system has ended up being too much responsibility, plus it's pretty inaccurate (Staff can't possibly be constantly checking in case people miss adding a moon for a week or two). Because of that, we shall be introducing a brand-new aging system for your use. It will be as follows.

Every cat season (greenleaf, leaf-bare, etc.) will last 2 human months.
That means, every cat year will last 8 human months.
At the end of every completed cat year (meaning, every 8 months), an announcement will be made for you to add 12 moons to each of your characters' ages. (this time, Staff shall be checking, so don't be lazy and be patient editing your Character Logs)
So, 1 moon is basically around 22 human days, not a week.

This will not apply to Kits and Apprentices; we know nobody wants to wait that long to make their Kit an Apprentice/make their Apprentice a Warrior, so for those you just need to follow the Warrior Training Guide and all that is listed there. After your character is a Warrior, this aging system will apply. Loners/Rogues/Kittypets will also age normally.

About editing all of your characters' ages- you seriously are not going to dig out each of your applications separately and edit the age there. Nobody looks at those after they have been accepted. If you still haven't gotten a Character Log, make one now. Make all of your changes and continue developing your characters there. It keeps everything neat and organised, and, this can't be argued, it saves everyone a lot of time/work.

Questions? Post below. Have a nice week! ^-^

About the bank system, while withdrawing HS you've deposited, if you simply ignore all correct commas and put one at the end, and then click withdraw, it allows you to take your HS back.

In example;

 
I deposited 300 HS


But when I try to get it back it doesn't notice I have 300 in the bank.


All you have to do is add a COMMA at the end. So it looks like this: 300,




And it allows you to take it back :3



When you're dealing with thousands, like I said above, ignore all correct commas and place one at the end. So it'd look like: 1000,

Instead of: 1,000 or 1,000,


Credit to Fer for originally figuring this solution out.

Yep, that's exactly what we need! I remembered something about commas but I had no idea what exactly it was. Everybody follow Fer's and Cher's solution and retreive your HS on time- thank you! ^-^

I don't think StarClan warriors age because they're dead soulless

[⋆ Phia ⋆]

Yeah, StarClan warriors will probably not need to age.. xD But we can wait for Seren's word on that one.

Does the aging system apply to Seren?

[⋆ Phia ⋆]

Yes, yes it does. :)

[Seawhisker]

I've forgotten how many days since I last changes Feathers and clouds age, do I change them now and start keeping track now? Or not?

Ok, sorry. I thought maybe we had to do it every month and then you would remind us.
