Happy Holidays!!!

[cntrstrk14]

NA Members,

All of these snazzy little knickknacks that decorate the homes, streets and sometimes meandering people are hollow without a profound meaning behind their names and symbols. For it's not about the red and green, not about a tree or bells, not about gifts to push through until the next trip to the mall. No, but it's everything behind them.

The hands the deck and trim, the ones that prepare a feast, the ones that give the gift. It's not about what the gift is, but that it is given- not with a price tag- but with utmost altruism. The thing that burns hotter than coals on the chilliest of nights. The smile received replaces any stress to orchestrate the moment. The gift is not without the receiver. The Staff is not without its Children [Or Membren, you members you]. And because you've stuck with is through another year we want to give you a little something because we'd just be flipping everything in site if you didn't keep us busy.

I'd call us Wise Men, but it's naughty to bend the truth <3.

Love,

NA Staff (Voiced by Azure)

Translation from your other favorite Admin (cntr),

First off: I created a NEW VERSION of the world map. Click Here To See

Now, on to the presents. Basically, in celebration of my birthday (and those other less important December holidays) we are giving away free gifts to every member of NA with an approved character. Every character that is approved and in the role play may receive the following gifts! Make sure to log them on your character sheet as Holiday Gift 2009, linking to this topic! This event will end at Midnight on December 30th! So if your character is not in game by then you cannot participate in this event. (Please PM questions to me)

- 4 Jutsu Points

- 50 Ryo ($)

- One Random Gift

You may be asking "What is a random gift?". Well it's simple! Roll 1d40 with the die roller, found on the main site, and your result is your present! First roll only, don't try and cheat because I will be watching! Anyone caught rolling more than once for their gift and not using the first roll will be labeled naughty and given coal!

Please label the roll in the following way...

Now, some of you may want to take the festive spirit into game, and we encourage this! For your gifts, you can easily role play receiving them from NPC (such as your character's parents) or 'give' the gifts to each other in character! Feel free to take it however you want, as long as it makes sense!

ENJOY AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM THE NA STAFF!!!
