Celebrate the 12 Days of Christmas with Reverie!

[Alex Walz]

In the 12 days leading up to Christmas, we thought it would be fun to decorate the forums a bit with some new user group colors and ranks! The Orc, Human, and Elven sects have been replaced with festive new themes, as seen below. If you wish to change sects or adopt one for the first time, check out Ryan's post for instructions!

As always, each sect has a hierarchy of ranks based on the user's post count, scaling from 0 to 1,000+ posts. The three new sects are:

The holidays are always a touchy subject, but please know that we are trying not to alienate anyone or impose anything. All ranks are based on Christmas-related folklore as it is the most widespread, but are not explicitly religious. The "Around the World" ranks are based on specific cultural traditions, while the other ranks derive from popular culture, including songs and movies such as The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, Elf, and The Santa Clause.

Enjoy and happy holidays! And while you're at it, check out the Holiday-themed Screenshot Design Competition!
