NTN Updates

Heyo! The NTN has made a LOT of progress during February. Most importantly both hubs are finished! We are so glad to have achieved this amazing milestone for survival 6 and we wouldn’t have been able to complete it without the help of the wonderful contributors who kept us stocked with donations. As a result of completing the hubs, we were able to host two amazing opening ceremonies where everyone was able to join us to celebrate the amazing work of the world managers. We had fun hiding heads and throwing T-shirts, Tatties and most importantly… mika cookies at all who came. Lots of people came away with prizes that will become true collectibles for this sur. The CDNN released a video for the new survival world featuring a clip created by the NTN. Lots of questions arose about the true identity of the presenter and we’d like to take this moment to reaffirm that it was 100% definitely GG all along. We were so happy to see the positive reception this got and we have seen an increase in participation in our weekly dig sessions as a result. Speaking of Weekly dig sessions, we’d like to note that due to managers' availability, we are moving our dig sessions to Saturdays at the same time! Of course, should you wish to dig and build the tunnels in the network you are more than welcome to do this at any time! Please help us, we are so tired omg.

SRN Updates

Hey Cyberdogs! The SRN has continued to make a lot of progress on both networks throughout February! We had our first opening event of Survival 6 on the 9th of February where Golden Station on the Retriever South Line, Canal Station on the Sheltie South Line, and Sheltie East Station were all opened by their Line Managers! In addition to this, the first branch line on Sur 6 would be completed on the  14th of February, with HeavyDork connecting his base Black Tower to Golden Station. In other news long time conductor of the SRN expedtadam would step back from the position this month, but is staying on as Line Manager for Sheltie North. To replace him, Montenator was chosen! Elsewhere, progress has continued on the Grand Central Stations, with Sheltie GCS now fully complete and Retriever GCS fully functional. Progress has continued on several main line stations such as Sheltie West by Skelleton123, with eybwam and darparniox continuing work on extending out their main lines. _Maddy_Monster_ and tijnybricks have also completed a station to serve their base, anticipated to be connected to Retriever South 2 and then on to almondnik and Sn3akst3r’s Foosha Village. Many more branch lines have been planned out on both Sheltie and Retriever, and we are well on track to creating the most expansive networks the SRN has ever seen! See you next month for more updates!

RHN Updates

Slowly and steadily, Shako has done more work on Retriever’s spawn roads. The Beltway or Turnpike should now be fully done. We have also started on going out from Spawn on both the West and East sides. These roads are still in progress, but bear in mind that there can be dead ends here and there on some roads.We have also started making more progress on Sheltie, and have now a Spawn Shelter put up. We would also like to announce a new member to RHN, and as you probably have seen, it is none other than locketeer. Please welcome them into our family. In other news, to our termites, a shelter to honor you has been made by locketeer. After each session, a list inside the shelter will be updated to feature everyone that has been a termite! Last update from us at RHN is that a race across Retriever Spawn is being planned. What rules and how it is going to be done is coming on a later date. So make sure to get a horse ready. This has been it from RHN this month, take care.

CSC Updates

The CSC has seen a couple changes in personnel this month. Montenator has stepped down as Captain and now holds the position of Master Navigator on Sheltie. XPModder has stepped up and taken up the captaincy of the CSC in his place. Additionally NeroTheImmortal has joined the CSC team as a new Master Navigator on Retriever. The CSC also made some great progress with ports, especially on Sheltie! Both the ports at SRN Canal Station in the south as well as SRN East station in the east were opened together with the rail lines in a big opening! We used the rail lines to travel from spawn to Canal station and then continued by boat to East station to finally close the circle by returning to spawn on the east SRN line. Speaking of Sheltie Spawn, construction was started on Sheltie Spawn Port and is already well underway, with the dock and foundation for the building being complete and the building itself still being under construction at this point. With this much progress, you can expect an opening of the spawn port soon!
