taxonmodsHey kids! Dien here. February's over, and March is roaring in. AND NOW I SHALL FIRE BULLET-POINTS AT YOU ALL.
THE ARMOR-PIERCING BULLET POINTS
• Brrr.... Taxon, the weather's about to take a turn for the worse. We hope you have your thermals handy. See MARCH GLITCH, down below.
• Adventure Zone for March will tie into the Glitch, so... yes, see below. That said, you can offer suggestions/make requests for glitches and future Adventure Zones over here.
• Reminding everyone to fill out your character profiles, as per here. Many of you have already done so, and thank you for that! We will start editing the Taken list soon to include a link for the profiles. Even if all you have right now is a placeholder post, give us your link to that so we can put that link into 'Taken'.
• Reminding everyone to TAG YOUR POSTS. Older players are as guilty of this as newer ones! At the moment we've basically chucked a formalized AC out the window, but that's not to say it might never come back, so please stay in the habit of using those tags. Even aside from AC, it's a useful way for us mods to track down where your characters are and what they are doing... which is useful to us when we start stalking you with the hamsters, or dropping meta-plot hints for your characters.
• The new FAQ (basic FAQ and expanded FAQ) is up and implemented. We'll try and weed out references and links to the older FAQ, but the community's FAQ links should link to the new ones now. Please take the time when you can to familiarize yourself with the changes-- a lot of things are the same, but a lot of things have changed slightly. If you have any questions, ask away.
• As a footnote to the new FAQ that deserves its own mention, you have the option to submit your own Extras to be specific NPCs. Check that out over here at the Extras entry.
• As a footnote to the footnote, the Sheriff is being toned back doooown to be a very background character, and less of a nerfer. He may still get busted out if characters are engaged in wide-spread property destruction, but this will be handled on a case-by-case basis. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, ignore it, it's cool. Theft will no longer result in an auto-catch by the Long Arm of the Law.
• The Weather.... oh yeah, see that glitch below.
• If you have a location that hasn't yet been added to the City Map, leave a comment explaining where you'd like it and we'll add it in.
( So what's all this about a glitch....? )
