I'm sure you all find this as entertaining as I do.In that vein, I've convinced the shopkeepers of Acitius to participate in a downright silly activity. Perhaps, if enough of you contribute, @Knight will look even sillier.

So here's a new one!It's time for yet another spectacular Tournament!The last tournament is over! That coy Zael confused the Seregan with its coyness! Dramatic, right?This new Tournament is going to be Ants on a Log vs. Zoom! Grape Jelly. It was suggested by @antjelly in a narcissistic attempt to try and get herself into the news and the Tournament. If you have better ideas for future Tournaments, please post them in the comments section. Wed, 16 May 2012 23:51:49 EDT 1706 http://www.acitius.com/news.php?action=comments&id=1705 The General Chat and Help forums are now auto-pruning on a daily basis. This does not apply to stickied threads. User post counts are now stored as a numeric value in the database and not re-assessed every time it needs to be displayed. A icon will appear to the right of a forum's name on the forums landing page if auto-pruning is active for that forum. This does not apply to subforums. The Chatterbox achievement now checks against the numeric value stored. Posting and having a single post deleted will affect the numeric value stored. A thread being deleted will not affect the numeric value. The post and thread count on user profiles are assessed based on the number of posts and threads a user has active. This means that the post count you see on a user post may not reflect the number on their profile.The transition has gone smoothly and around 150,000 posts were removed from the database total. Wed, 16 May 2012 03:58:29 EDT 1705 http://www.acitius.com/news.php?action=comments&id=1704 You can now see how your pet's relationship has progressed! :) Tue, 15 May 2012 16:43:57 EDT 1704 http://www.acitius.com/news.php?action=comments&id=1703 The navigation on the new layout has been updated to include Pets. Along with this change, Home has been removed as it only brought you to the index, and the order of the navigation has been changed to give priority to more important features of the site. :) Tue, 15 May 2012 02:36:46 EDT 1703 http://www.acitius.com/news.php?action=comments&id=1702 24 different users entered the Lemon Lottery this week, but there can only be one winner!Out of 74 lemons traded in, @JillianMayfair's lemon was chosen! :OCongratulations on netting a whopping 25,000 AP! :D Mon, 14 May 2012 00:00:38 EDT 1702 http://www.acitius.com/news.php?action=comments&id=1701 For any of our wonderful AMZ-Moms out there, happy Mother's Day. Even if you don't celebrate it, even if you don't agree with it, even if you don't care. Hooray for moms. (And grandmothers, and aunts, and sisters, and...I could go on all day)Thank you for @Bookwyrm for posting this here so that I could just copy and paste it from there :). Sun, 13 May 2012 13:56:53 EDT 1701 http://www.acitius.com/news.php?action=comments&id=1700 All ZP-based attack abilities like Soulbreak, Lithium, etc. have had their ZP cost lowered from 50% to 20% to make them far more accessible. MAG now affects the damage of attack magic like Bolt, Shard, etc. If you are paralyzed when you try to cast a spell or use an ability, it will no longer consume MP, ZP, or create a cooldown.Work In Progress: All food is being revamped to give bonus stats in the arena. This will take a while to finish as there are so many items to go through, but when done, every food item will give a 5% experience point bonus while in battle amongst other buffs. Sun, 13 May 2012 07:44:40 EDT 1700 http://www.acitius.com/news.php?action=comments&id=1699 After May 15th, thread pruning will become active. The following forums will be affected, although more may be added in the future: General Chat and Help.The criteria for pruning is a thread having no reply in a year or more. The topics meeting this criteria have been locked and cannot be bumped up. Additionally, thread deletion will not affect user post and topic count.This will allow the forums to run faster as well as keeping the posts in those sections relevant.Maintenance will occur for a slight duration of time when the changes are being implemented to ensure everything is functional.
