As the leaves fade from a brilliant green to crisp reds and yellows, the RCPD is no closer to finding the party responsible for the death of the Reformist activist. While The Republic Times seems to have stayed mute on the subject, other, lesser-known circulations have begun posing an uncomfortable question: are the RCPD — an organisation comprised primarily of benders — taking sides? 

Trust is thin on the ground in Republic City, and as the biting chill of winter begins to creep through the shortening autumn days, it seems only a matter of time before even the smallest misstep throws the city into open turmoil.

Happy timeshift day, [#username]! As of 13 October 2018, it is Fall of 172 AG. Summer threads have been locked and marked as completed, and will be archived on 20 October 2018 to give everyone some time to arrange new plots in relation to their completed threads. The Plot has also been updated to reflect the timeshift.

We have a tonne of things in store for you with this timeshift, including a major plot event that's bound to shake the very foundations of Republic City. We estimate that this major plot event will happen within the next few weeks, so keep on the look out for an announcement!

We've also made a few minor changes to the News and Census boxes for ease of use:

• the title of the News box now reads Here's the Latest News to differentiate it from the guest welcome message
• the Census text has been simplified to text to be more responsive
• the Census now includes the current Plot NPC tally
