June started up a new season, and that means a new challenge! Don't forget to check out the Taking Chances (Summer) challenge and post the goals you want to meet! Note! That challenge thread post you do is also an excellent place to keep up with all the RP Activities you take part in throughout the month, making July's RP card very easy to tally~

July Features:
Roleplayer of the Month: Sailor Mercury - Aurae!
Featured RP Announcement: N.E.O. Sailors
Featured Otaku of the Month Announcement: Sailor Nocturnus
Hall of Fame Initiates: New Heights

Announcements!


       - The 7th Anniversary brings about the Stars of the Silver Millennium Nominations and Voting! A celebration of our Storylines and Roleplayers within our beloved Roleplaying Section! When nominations open, please participate by nominating the storyline or roleplayer you believe deserve the award, and don't be afraid to back it up so others know why you (anonymously ;D) think that storyline or that player deserves it!
 July is the 7th Anniversary of the Galaxy Cauldron Forums! (;D That's 6.5 years for the RP Section!) It's theme will be kept under wraps until Sailor Mercury  reveals it with the other party planners, but keep an eye out for Sailor Saturn's   Themed Casual Event! Additionally, there will be a series of short RTRP's within a game in the latter half of the anniversaty dates! 
 Rule Clarification! You can double post in the RP section if the post is for a separate character! (Example: you are playing both Minako and Makoto in an rp; you can post as Minako and then separately post as Makoto, and it's totally fine! ((posting as Minako back to back is heavily frowned upon though cause you can just edit that post as no one posted after you, so don't do that XD))
 Activity Card / Rainbow Crystal Points Update! The full Rainbow Crystal Stamp has officially returned to a 30 point minimum from the 20 point minimum, due to the implementation of the new cards! 
 Character Profile Submission - It came to our attention that there was no BB code included in the quick access to the Canon and Otaku profile skeletons! Those codes have been added in for ease of access (and come without the instructional text and weird font colors/sizes that accompany just copying/pasting the form from the spoilers)! Please copy the code and use it to create your profiles in the future!
The 2018 Great Hardcore Event Reread is beginning this weekend! Watch the GC Calendar and look out for new threads to announce the dates and times to join in on this crazy-huge-thing!
Featured RP discussion is encouraged all month long! The third Sunday of the month (July 15) is a good day to discuss the storyline with other readers, but whenever you're reading the Featured RP (N.E.O. Sailors), share your thoughts and comments in the Discord channel!
The Hardcore Event Star Catchers is still ongoing via RTRP's scheduled throughout this month! Players, remember to keep up with your activity so you don't get axed! 
 Ever read a line in an RP that you wish you could appreciate with others? Share it in the Favorite RP Quotes Thread! Also remember, you can share comments on RPs you like in each rp forum's "Guestbook"—check the pinned threads at the top!

Additional Announcements and Reminders

• Remember, Approved Character Profiles are no longer required to roleplay in the Open Play Boards! You can use WIP profiles or try out new character ideas in this free play area!
  
• Open Play Boards can now be created and "hosted" by Rainbow Crystal Stamp holders!
  
• Discord RTRPs Open for Rainbow Crystal Members! Players having attained the Rainbow Crystal Stamp can now plan and host their own RTRP's in Discord! Use the OOC Boards to plan your events; if you would like your event to be put on our schedule and the GC Calendar, message ♅ Sailor Uranus on Discord! 
  
• Don't forget about your List of Storylines! It's a convenient, editable, linkable listing of all your storylines! Convenient for keeping track of what RP's you are a part of! Even if you are only part of one roleplay at the moment, go ahead and make a post in that thread! All the cool kids are doing it!
  
• Also consider updating your List of Accepted Characters! Useful for finding and linking all of your canon, otaku, multiverse, crossover, AU—everything—character profile pages! Use it to remind yourself what profiles you've received Approval for, or to see what other characters other RPers have Approved if you both have interest in starting an RP together!
