Winter Winds Bring New Seasonals

‘Tis the season for snowfall, holiday festivities, and the release of new Winter Seasonals! By inviting others to join our server, you have the opportunity to progress through 4 recruiting tiers over the next 3 months. Each tier has a rare role which showcases the efforts put forth to expand RPF. With that said, let’s go into the New Year with the goal to grow our community even more!

Cozy Season, Cozy Puzzles

Nothing’s better than a cup of hot coca, a warm blanket, and working on a puzzle to earn Rebel Cash! Up until last week, Rebels had the chance to become a Pumpkin Spice Puzzler by partaking in the Tuxedo Times’ weekly puzzles. Now that winter has arrived, we’re excited to announce a brand new role is available: Bundled Up Brainiac!

You have until the end of February to complete any 6 Challenge of the Week puzzles. Don’t worry if you miss a week, you have plenty of time to pick and choose! Scroll down to see the first one of the season!
Keep in mind that each puzzle must be submitted the week it’s released and before the next Tuxedo Times issue is out. If the puzzle is submitted afterwards, it will not be counted!

Rockerz Rocks the House!

Congratulations to the remarkable Rockerz for being named RPF’s #366 Troop of the Week! Since joining us on October 13th, Rockerz has swiftly risen to the rank of Specialist for his impressive activity in both chat and event attendance, as well as his ability to spread nothing but positivity! His welcoming spirit and kindness truly set him apart, and we’re lucky to have him in our server. Keep up the great work, Rockerz!
