Happy sixth birthday, RP Repository! Together, we've solved more than 30 ultra-challenging riddles, defeated more than 550 monsters and a three day boss fight, replanted the scorched remains of Forum Forest and turned it back into a thriving ecology, and launched roughly a thousand weapons out of a magical cannon in the sky.
This was a colossal effort of team work. You should be enormously proud of yourselves! And now it is time for your just rewards. Through the valiant efforts of hundreds of members taking part in this years Epic Week OOC Quest, we've unlocked new templates and one of the most sought-after features in the RPR's history.
Every member who took part in Epic Week, even if it was only to plant a single seed in Forum Forest, will receive a special accolade to forever memorialize their efforts.But whether you took part in the questline or not, everyone will benefit from this victory...
As the third and final Forest Guardian awakened, it offered the site the following templates:
Rave, by Moki; Another variant of Mehndi by Contingency; and three more camouflage variants by Sanne!
There's more. This moment also marks the launch of a very important beta feature for the RPR: Push Notifications. This means you can get instantly notified on your smartphone or desktop about a new message even if RPR isn't open.
Right now, only Android phones or desktop computers using Chrome or Firefox support push notifications from websites, but we'll work to expand onto iPhones and other apple devices as soon as they add support for this feature.
Visit Dashboard > Your Settings and add your first device to get started.
Enjoy your well-deserved rewards, adventurers. Thank you for six beautiful, creative, joyous years. Here's to a seventh!

Hurray! Great job everyone!
@Trickster - Your seeds from Doubutt wins were counted as part of your overall score, but there wasn't room to break out every type of thing in the accolade text.

It only counts how many weapons we doubutted, not how many seeds? But I wanna be loved for my cannon gardening. 
Thanks for the wonderful event, Safiye.

What are the points and why do I have so many? 
Pretty sure I didn't do a whole lot this year.

Wait, what happened to the Many Headed Dragon? Did they disappear?
A patch has already been applied to push notifications! If you subscribed to them earlier, you may need to redo your push subscription. Hopefully this works better for more people!

This was so fun and Thank you!
If you have to have notifications turned on for firefox and/or chrome or you can't use the push notification thing. I know it sounds like common sense but I don't like notifications from everything on my phone and I'm sure I'm not the only one so I had notifications turned off for everything and thought something was broken when the new push notification thing wouldn't work for me until I thought to check my settings. Now that I turned notifications on for firefox and chrome (and gmail) it worked - no notifications yet but it let me enable my cell phone which wasn't working with notifications turned off.
I thought putting this here could be helpful for anyone who might have the same problem as me.

I wasn't initially sure what to expect for my first Epic Week, and I'm glad to say that I was greatly surprised and that experiencing the intense atmosphere on the boards was infectious.
You guys really did great, and I'm glad I could participate this year.
Congrats to everyone.

we must work to protect this place.
I am a creator. Not a destroyer.
maybe... we can create a destroyer akin to the guardians.
