I should warn you all.. every spring, Pete the Sandwich licker is about.
Soon as winter is over.. he comes out of hiding and has the appearance of a tree stump.. 
so be on the look out when you are taking your spring snaps, enjoying your picnics...
This guy ruined my spring readiness entries while i was trying to take the perfect picture of a unique spring fashion. :(
So I found this brochure on Risa, that tells you all about what he does.. and what he looks like.

"Picnic"
Got invited to see 
A whole new colony world
Sitting by the sea
With my princess 

Which one is your princess, though? :D

The poetic skills here continue to amaze,
As yet again words set my heart ablaze,
My answer to your question shall thus be this,
Qualifiable as a reply poem it surely is

I was going to just take pictures of people for the costume contest, but you can also submit your own photos like Voleron did. The idea is just to make sure everyone can participate, regardless of time zones :)

New Neverwinter giveaway. Keys very limited

Here are my screenshot and costume contest entries!  

• Hiking through Risian caves: Voleron, TedHembach and Hippiepunk
• Voleron's Mirror Bajor Clubbing Outfit

Hiking Screenshot Details
While other tourists are content to incinerate their epidermis on the roving vendor infested beaches of Risa, a trio of real adventurers including Voleron, TedHembach and Hippiepunk, went off spelunking for the day.  With only a handful of Starfleet issue flares and a torch to guide them, the trio had the adventure of a lifetime!

Clubbing Outfit Details
While on shore leave on Mirror Bajor, Voleron likes to blend in by leaving behind the flashy outfits of Club 47 and by donning some less ostentatious threads.  Although more subtle in design so as not to attract the watchful eye of the Intendant, this nondescript clubbing outfit still manages to convey the "pitcher in the streets, and in the sheets" message!  A different hair style is a mirror universe staple, as is a well groomed and evil looking goatee.  The facial tattoo adds a dark eye shadowing, accentuating Voleron's mysterious mirror universe look, while acting as an aphrodisiac for members of the same sex.  Keep your eye out for an outfit like this in your size at Garak's Clothiers on Deep Space Nine, set to release with other summer lines this June!

Now that Spring has reached even the furthest reaches of the northern hemisphere, it’s time to kick back and put away the uniform for a while.This weekend, put on your best outfit, grab some friends and take a long overdue shore leave. Don’t forget to take pictures!~

The Spring Readiness Initiative is composed of two activities happening over this weekend - A small screenshot challenge and an outfit contest.

everyone **Good morning, everyone!**

Big news, and I do mean big. We've kept things a bit quiet, so I figured springing a bit of a surprise might be a treat for you!

A temporary server has been spun up for the community to play on while a more permanent solution is worked on. (Your accounts from this weekend **HAVE BEEN WIPED**. YOU WILL BE STARTING COMPLETELY OVER.)

Forum account creation: Note: If you get a database error, refresh the page. Try to make the same account again. If you get an error an account exists, just log in using the LOGIN button on the nav bar. (DO NOT USE THE SMALL FORM AT THE TOP.)

Game account creation: (After logging in to the forum. EVERYONE MUST DO THIS)

The game should patch/run normally if you restart Tequila. This server is exactly the same configuration as the one we all experienced and enjoyed over the weekend. We are not the GM's of that server, ours is coming later.

This would have not been possible without the help of Leandro! Huge thanks to him, and his efforts to assist in getting this server up and running. Again, our coders are hard at working with the i24 data and source, so this is not their work. This is the i25 that someone else has gone ahead and hosted.

Please keep in mind that this server is meant as a temporary solution. It is likely that your characters may end up being wiped at the end of this, so save your costumes!

We sincerely hope you have a blast, so get out there and save Paragon City, heroes!
And villains, you give the heroes something to do.

P.S. - We all remember the hug-of-death we gave the server last time, so please bear with us in the event of technical issues! Further announcements will follow in the event of such situations.

tl;dr: Game is back up. Make new accounts. Use the links provided. We the coders, and server team are not responsible for this one.

Thanks to the lovely Rich (@thunderfoot1007) We have some more rewards for the honourable mention!

5 x [Specialization Qualification - Command]
5 x [Specialization Qualification - Intelligence]
5 x [Specialization Qualification - Pilot]
5 x [Specialization Qualification - Miracle Worker]
5 x [Specialization Qualification - Temporal Operative]

Right? Now I'm also in love with Cal's avatar!

Randomly caught this photobomb in Quark's after a little dance party there this morning. It's not one of my entries, but Cal is so freakin' adorable in it that I can't keep it to myself.

For anyone else taking part, we close this guessing game after this weeks episode (3), come take a guess!

@kalen1072 i've put you in house "other"... we will see.... ooooo

#GuessOfThrones

Haha OMG, I'm not sure if I find it disgusting or... Ehm... Not disgusting? Regardless, it is pretty awesome!
