I signed up for Yearbook and Newspaper and was invited to both Orginaizations. Mr. Wesley Vanderzandt (Call him Wes) is that forums admin and he had this to say:
Wes wrote:
You have been selected to become a member of the yearbook staff based on your experience with mediums needed to produce the yearbook and on your desire to work on the yearbook. You have already shown me the motivation it takes for an Awlyn child to succeed in becoming fully integrated with human society.
I've said it before and I will say it again - I am really looking forward to the interaction with all of you. This is going to be a great experience if we all work together and enjoy our joint efforts. I'm going to try to keep DeGrance out of here as much as possible so we can have as much fun as possible.
You'll discover how easy it is to get along with me. I've got a reputation at the school that I have to uphold here as well. Feel free to come to me with any issues you might have and we can work them out together. Just whatever you do, do not do what the idiot that developed this site did and call me Professor Van. Call me Wes, don't call me Professor Wes either, just Wes. He's a good guy and I've known him since I was a senior here at SLA, but I get so annoyed by the name Van (sadly he knew it).
We know Novak owns eyegasm-design and that he has been working on a big project lately. So I'm thinking that maybe he is Awlyn. Curiouser and curiouser.

Hehe, I see an easter egg or two in the staff there. Anyone else get the references?
I saw that one of the registered member's username is TinaG (TINAG?)
Edit: Yeah just saw the ILB and Chasing the Wish references, too.

Hi folks. I just started playing AAP, and apparently I jumped in at just the right time! I also signed up with 62z1045 and am registered as a Werewolf (which I was keeping my fingers crossed for, heh).
Are we all signed up for the same classes and organizations? My classes are Astronomy, Biology & Health, and History I, and I appear to be in all three fellowships (Andromeda, Cygnus, and Eridanus-- all of which are both celestial objects and Greek mythological figures, btw). Degrance says that "All students will be assigned to the fellowships based on several undisclosed criteria"... I wonder if species is one of those criteria?
On a side note, I am somewhat disconcerted to be "signing up for classes" so soon after having graduated IRL. I thought that part of my life was over.

Has anyone who received a letter took a look at the stamp? Mine is a little hard to read. It is the St. Laudine's seal made by stamp expressions. It has a phrase under it can anyone tell me what it says?

It says smilan keilyn nednai. This is apparently in some unknown language.

Google says it's the same language that was used in Ny Takma (link ), which means we may not get too far with it.
...Although, looking over that list, we have figured out what the word "awlyn" means!

Envelope Just got home and checked my mail. I had exactly one letter in the box, and thank god, it was the school letter. I actually do not have a postmark on mine AT ALL, and my stamp is really clear. Next to the US postage, 42c is an odd barcode looking thing. Similar to a registered mail barcode, at least from memory, but it's definitely a rectangle made up of individual squares. About to register for school. Thought I was done with that 10 years ago...

Actually you can find the translation for all the words discovered in Ny Takma here http://lanti.fridgesoft.de/index.php?
The words under the seal "smilan keilyn nednai" translates to

Wow.. this school forum is huge. I wonder if it make sense to friend all IG characters and to join all groups. I not sure about this. Like TinaG would probably say we should handle this as it would be real.
BTW. I personally thing that Dr. Guinevere DeGrance really looks great for a woman who is at least more than 150 years old

My character vespar is a bit of an overachiever and plans and joining every group he can. It seems that that is in-character for a Chauque and a member (possibly) of the Cygnus fellowship. TinaG would be proud.
Oh and yeah Dr. DeGrance is a hottie. I bet her character would be pretty intimidating being that good looking, headmistress of SLA and one of the last remaining Dragons.

I have seen that "vespar" has already the rank of "Student Council". How did that happened?
I have written "vespar" a PM on SAL, because I did not know that it was you. I was even not sure if it was a player or a pure IG character.
Which are pure IG students?

What about all the others that joined already on September 12th

Aurora

IG characters or players?
