I'm sure a lot of you have seen the writing on the wall with this, and it took me a while to bring myself to come to this decision, but as much as I love this game, I'm sorry to announce that I will be stepping down from my leadership position in Artes.

So I'm sure you all want to know what exactly this means. In all likelihood this will mean that Artes will close at the end of the month. I would be more than happy to hand it off to someone else, but at this point I feel the game has hit a lull that would take a lot of work to pull it out of. I know that I don't have the time or energy to do so, but if someone else thinks they do, feel free to message me!

Otherwise, I just want to thank everyone, from my fellow staff to our players, your help and enthusiasm is what's kept this game going as long as it has, and I've enjoyed all these months playing this game with you. I'm truly grateful for how much love and support everyone has given to us, and I hope to see you all around somewhere or another! If you have any questions I haven't addressed here, please feel free to ask.

This week's track is from Tales of Vesperia! Since it's been a while (and Caitie loves too many songs from this game) we're having a double round!

The first one makes Mao think of ancient temples and water... And the second one sounds like a pretty dramatic fight!!

If you can tell Mao the names of the track or where it plays you will win four cards for each one! He'll also give you a bonus gel if you name both. This round ends November 2th!

Rieze Maxia's most daring reporter is back in action, with a new schedule! From now on, she'll be asking for your help every other Sunday! (So Roving Reporter and Sing-a-Long will alternate.)

For her next article, Leia decided to write about princesses! She interviewed a lot of them! So many, in fact, she somehow managed to mix up their names so now she's not sure who is who! She solicited some help from friends to pick out the best interviews, but she still needs to figure out who they are.

Jude's Pick: While one faction backs her as the rightful heir to the throne, this princess would rather have her nose in a book! She sets out on her adventure to learn more about the special healing power she has.

Milla's Pick: Baiba! This princess travels to another world to prevent a catastrophe from occurring, using the power of... the great crayons? Something like that. She had a little trouble at first, what with no one being able to understand her language.

Leia's Pick: Though she may technically be a princess, this girl is so far down the line of succession she decided to just become a knight instead. She told Leia that her adventure started when she met a young man who, unlike normal humans, is able to see the Divine.

Gaius' Pick: This last princess may not be royalty by blood, but she sure as heck commands the love of her people! Though some may see her as bossy, she is a seasoned diplomat and extremely talented with a bow.

If you can tell Leia the names of these princesses she'll give you four cards each! All four of them are featured in the Royalty deck, if you can also name the fifth princess in the deck, you'll get a bonus gel (Note: you must specify which fits each description, you can't just guess!) This round will end October 26th!

( Challenges under the cut! )

If you managed to complete all four challenges, you will win an additional bonus of 5 cards, meaning you can get as many as 45 cards for completing every challenge!

At the end of the month, four people will be chosen at random to win the SUPER SECRET BONUS PRIZE! Anyone who completes at least two challenges is eligible to win the bonus prize.

This week's track is from Tales of Innocence! Only five more games after this.

Oh, another track with words already! Some of the words sound kind of odd though...

If you can tell Mao the names of the track or where it plays you will win four cards! He'll also give you a bonus gel if you can tell him why certain parts of the lyrics sound funny. This round ends October 5th!

Leia is working hard on her next big scoop! Can you help her find the information she needs?

This week, Leia wrote an article about a mysterious hidden people! Apparently the name means "people of the sea" in their native language. She talked to a young girl who's supposed to be the next person chosen to receive the voice of the sea... Leia wonders if that will be hard for her seeing as seawater seems to make her terribly ill, though.

If you can tell Leia the name of this race of people she'll give you four cards! This round will end September 17th!

Now that Mao's regained control of his game, this week's track is from Tales of the Abyss!

This sounds like it'd play in a big town with lots of people! Mao already wants to go.

If you can tell Mao the names of the track or where it plays you will win four cards!This round ends September 14th!

Leia is working hard on her next big scoop! Can you help her find the information she needs?

Leia was back in Terca Lumireis this week, doing an article about the current status of the relationship between the Empire and Guild Union! It's slow progress as always... She talked to several knights as well as guild members for the piece but... A few of the people she talked to sure sounded weirdly familiar! One was the young new commandant of the knights, and the other was the gruff and imposing leader of a notorious monster hunting guild.

If you can tell Leia why they sounded familiar to her she'll give you four cards! This round will end September 10th!

This week, Leia went to report on (and participate in) an event for female martial artists! She had a lot of fun, and made a lot of new friends. One girl she talked to briefly she really liked too, but wasn't able to catch her name! She recalls her hometown being a place called Rasheans, though.

If you can tell Leia this girl's name she'll give you four cards! This round will end September 3rd!

This week's track is from-Wait, Elle!? You're not supposed to be here! ... Well, nevermind that! She's not going to take no for answer. Guess Elle's hosting this round of Sing-a-Long.

Elle wants to sing a song about one of her new friends! She found his theme music, but can you tell her what it's called?

If you can tell Elle the names of the track you will win four cards!This round ends September 7th!

Leia is working hard on her next big scoop! Can you help her find the information she needs?

Leia hopes you're all very excited to return to Rieze Maxia and Elympios, because she's coming close to home for this weeks article! She thought she'd write a piece profiling Spiritus Corporation's top members, but she accidentally spilled her notes all over the floor. She was able to piece it back together for the most part, except for a post-it note that just reads "Apparently, he really loves tomatoes."

If you can tell Leia who the note is referring to she'll give you four cards! This round will end August 27th!

You know what Leia hasn't written about in a while? Artes! This time it's melee techniques... There's a lot of artes that show up all over like Demon Fang and Sonic Thrust, but there's one in particular she wants to mention as being pretty cool! Only problem is, she can't remember the name. It's a pretty fierce arte, and she's definitely seen it in person before, since King Gaius can use it! She also hears that two unrelated yet eerily similar looking blond guys can use it... Even a young looking girl with a large axe!

If you can tell Leia the name of the arte she'll give you four cards! This round will end August 20th!

(I apparently missed my calendar notif last week, sorry about that!)

This week's track is from Tales of Legendia. Mao hears that this game is known for it's music.

Man, this is pretty jazzy! Yet it somehow makes Mao feel like getting up to something a little mischievous...

If you can tell Mao the names of the track or where it plays you will win four cards!This round ends August 24th!

Leia's writing another article about the world of Ephinea! This week in particular she's writing about the ring built around the planet... uh, what was that place called again?

If you can tell Leia the name of the place she'll give you four cards! This round will end August 13th!

This week, Leia is writing about monsters! She was reading a book Jude gave her, and thought that Terca Lumireis' Giganto Monsters sounded kind of like the Devil Beasts here in Rieze Maxia! Weird. One of the Giganto Monsters is actually a problem apparently, and it was necessary to construct a large wall to protect the capital from the monster swarms it led. Leia can't seem to find its name though.

If you can tell Leia the name of this Giganto Monster she'll give you four cards! Both the official monster name and the colloquial term are acceptable.
This round will end August 6th!

Leia is working hard on her next big scoop! Can you help her find the information she needs?

While Leia was talking with Veigue, she actually managed to stumble upon the idea for her next story! See, turns out Veigue is from a small town named Sulz, it sounds a lot like Leronde to Leia! So she wanted to write about other heroes who came from small towns. There's a few towns, like Leronde, that boast SEVERAL heroes. Leia wants to write about those in particular.

If you can tell Leia a small town home to more than one playable character she'll give you four cards! There's more than one right answer, you can name up to four for as many as 16 cards.
This round will end July 30th!

Continuing on, this week's track is from Tales of Rebirth. Since this is Mao's home game, he has two tracks for you!

He might be a little biased here, but Mao thinks the guy this theme is for is basically the best!

Mao remembers fighting six battles with this music. But... hey, hold on a second! This is definitely from Rebirth, but he knows it isn't the version he's heard before.

If you can tell Mao the names of the tracks(the first one is the name of the character whose theme it is), you will win four cards each! Also, if you can tell Mao what game this version of the second track is from, you'll get an extra two cards. This round ends August 3rd!

This week, Leia actually got a vacation! It is summer after all. Her traveling buddy from previous weeks happened to be visiting again, so she was able to visit with him. She obviously knows what his name is, since they're buddies now, even if he's gruff about admitting it, but she's wondering if YOU can work out who it is, with the hints in previous rounds! He's apparently friends with a guy she interviewed before.

If you can tell Leia the name of her traveling companion she'll give you three cards and a gel! Hint: He's originally from a game in the series that hasn't been localized but word is that he's had a cameo in one that has....
This round will end July 16th!

Continuing on our theme, this week's track is from Tales of Symphonia!

Hmm, this track sounds "holy" as well, but Mao thinks it's also kind of sinister... Whoever it is, he doesn't think he'd want to fight them.

If you can tell Mao the name of this track or whose boss theme it is, you will win four cards! This round ends July 20th!
