** STEELHEAD LIBRARY STUFF **

- The Library has no events this week. The ongoing exhibit about Portland's Chinatown will remain open until about Nov. 1.

- We are looking for people who would like to do a winter holiday exhibit (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hannukah, or other - appropriate to Steelhead's theme and period). Also for people to lead book or movie discussions. Please contact Riven Homewood or CeAire Decosta if you're interested.


** STEELHEAD CITY STUFF **

- Boomtown has been repaved, lighting has been improved, and there are now more ways to enter into the tunnels underground. Tensai will oversee the project to finish the mine work.

- Harborside will be going through some major overhauling next. Repaving has already begun, so please watch your step. The bridges are going to be redone, including the Tacoma Narrows. Management will be returning items off parcel. If there is something you’d like to see added to Harborside, please send your ideas via notecard to Lunar.

- There have been some changes to the Steelhead Covenant agreement, primarily rewording and clarifications. No one has to change anything. It just had to be rewritten.

Each sim has its own notecard with its specific theme and history and sometimes monthly rental depending on locality. Take time to familiarize yourself with your city's history if you're interested in expanding your role play. These notecards will be placed in the Steelhead Embassies, the Steelhead Train Station, and any hubs.

** ROLE PLAY AND PERSONAL CONDUCT **

Steelhead is a themed community with optional light roleplay in the era in which we live (late 1800’s Oregon Territories with heavy Victorian and light clockpunk/Steampunk influences.) We welcome other forms and characters into the community whether it be group or personal. Dragons, Timelords, Girl Geniuses, Fantasy Creatures, Teachers, Lawyers, Librarians...we welcome a variety of different RP communities to Steelhead and offer our community as a platform for them to expand their characters. That being said, we also wish for residents and visitors to respect each other’s character. Please do not force your storyline roleplay on those that do not wish to be involved. We want the roleplay to be optional in this community to be fair to those who want to play within storylines and to those who want to live out their quiet lives at home.

In the event of business, state, conflict mediation, and/or technical matters we (being management of Steelhead) respectfully request that you step out of character in private messages to better resolve the situation without confusion.

** BUILDING STYLE/THEMES **

Management reserves the right to deny buildings that we feel are not in theme to Steelhead.
