HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Apps are closed until the end of this month so that Jackie and Pen have time to integrate our new mods and helpstaff into their jobs, and so that we have time to accomplish some much needed upkeep that life, playing, and applications have delayed.
The following list of tasks is planned for the month of January, but if all are not accomplished then will be seen to over Feb. If you have any concerns or questions about these changes, feel free to ask, but bear in mind most of them are, in large part, cleaning and coding. With the exception of wording, links, or page-appearance, most won't have much of an impact on players. ^^
(The part under Rules, about the offlines will affect Activity Requirements, so that WILL directly affect players)
To keep you guys abreast of the changes that will be happening behind the scenes:
APPLICATIONS/RESERVES
- Applications and reserves are closed. Reserves will open late January, probably the last week. Applications will open the first week of February.
- Reserves will be moved to the HelpStaff account. These will now become HelpStaff task. The more eyes watching this post, the better, as it requires frequent updates.
- Application system might undergo an overhaul. An info post/FAQ may be added to better explain the features of an application, including how RP samples should look, and further flesh out what is and is not applicable.
RULES/FAQ
- Simplify the Rules/FAQ wording without changing content. Just making it less bulky and simpler. Hopefully easier to read and understand.
- Alter the offline system. Make it so that offlines do not count for the character who made the original post, only for the other player(s) participating in the comment log. (Because it is too easy otherwise to pass on one post alone).
CODING
- Finalize coding on ALL Helpstaff posts. Make pretty. This is mostly finished, if not entirely complete, as of the City Map.
- Comb through the compass and revise the posts (mostly minor) as needed. Primarily, the plotting post, the advertising post, and others that have not demanded immediate attention.
PLOT
- Right, like we'd spoil you here.
SETTING
- Lay out what's here, what's seen and findable so the enviroment is clear.
Also, please remember to comment in
Adstringendum's Community HMD Post for game-related questions, comments, concerns, or suggestions.
Thanks, guys, and here's to a new month.
