New Web Site                       Sun Jan 02    Gemma
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I changed the web site. The old one was outdated and needed the new 
information. Plus I cut back a lot on the color scheme and cleaned up code. 
Check it out, and, enjoy.

What's not done:

Character profiles, the bulk of the remaining work. When I get them up again, 
they'll look similar to the old web site's setup.

The background art is set to a rotation on several pages and static in others. 
The list of rotatable pictures is nowhere near complete. Right now it shifts 
between X, Zero, Dr. Light, and Blues. Eventually it will shift through a much 
broader category of pictures. Faction pages will only show characters in that 
faction. If you want to help with this process, I'll post my requests and 
requirements for art at a later time, after I have about 12 pictures or so in 
the shuffle.

Some information files and additional help files aren't added yet: only the 
essential ones and the very easy to access ones. There will be web-only 
content but that'll take additional time to add.

If you see any bugs or irregularities, please let me know.

Web Site Art and Links             Fri Jan 07    Gemma
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
People have been asking me a lot about how I plan to incorporate character art 
into the new design of the web site, so I'm going to go ahead and post up my 
guidelines for player art. Since this takes up a lot of space, I'm putting the 
guideline list on the player livejournal. Point your browsers to 
http://www.livejournal.com/~megamanmush to see the guide.

The scripted pictures in the background have been updated today in preparation 
for influx of art.

The Links section on the web site only includes, currently, all links from the 
old site that are still working. If you have a new link to submit, please send 
it to me directly. I had planned to include a set of links for past players' 
sites, but every site I had on file is down or unworking. Nevertheless, if you 
DO have a link to a past player's site, send that to me as well. The links 
section looks a bit anemic currently.

Repliforce!                        Sat Jan 08    Scorpio
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The wise Storm Owl was the first to join General's Repliforce, but other 
illustrious names were soon to follow: Colonel the Brave; Spiral Pegasus the 
Pure; and Jet Stingray the Not-quite-so-brave-as-Colonel who had nearly fought 
the Dragonroid of Agnor, who had nearly stood up to the vicious Chicken-bot of 
Bristol and who had personally wet himself at the Battle of Badon Hill; and 
the aptly named Sir Not-appearing-in-this-film. Together they formed a band 
whose names and deeds were to be retold throughout the centuries, the Offircer 
of Repliforce.

Storm Owl: And that, commander, is how we know the Earth to be banana-shaped.
General: This new learning amazes me, Storm Owl. Explain again how sheeps' 
bladders may be employed to defend against Mavericks.
Storm Owl: Oh, certainly, sir!
Colonel: Look, commander!
General: Fortress V!
Spiral Pegasus: Fortress V!
Colonel: Fortress V!
Anthem: It's only a model.
General: Shh! Men, I bid you welcome to your new home. Let us teleport to the 
Fortress V!

Congrats, Storm Owl, on 100 cookies!

Attention Neo Arcadia              Sat Jan 08    Gemma

There's a lot of buzz right now that speaks of general dissatisfaction with how 
M3 has handled Neo Arcadia FCs.

A voting machine in the OOC lounge addresses this issue. PLEASE, if you play in 
the faction, and especially an FC in the faction, weigh in your opinion using 
this machine. If you are a non-NA player, you may vote as well... we want to

Overclock, Alias founding head of the Tenmasa Corporation. "Bring it on!! Fight 
me!! C'mon! I'll give ya what for!"
The founding head of the Tenmasa Corporation, which went from being the 
Hiroshima Yamamori gang to become a political organization, he more or less 
retired from public life after completing his duties. Taking advantage of 
Tenmasa corporation inflighting, he hatches plots with his close friends 
Makihara and Hayakawa.

Overclock has earned over one hundred cookies, and thus is safe from the mad

"Doctor" Sarah Fairchild or "Doom", real name Hideo Kirishima, originally 
joined the gang in the early eighties. Read lots of American comics, talked a 
lot like people from it in funny voices. Drove the car a lot, and helped 
during the cruises for girls down at the race track ('Thus speaks - DOOM!' 
'Why - why are you standing like that?' 'Uhhh...'), but contributed little. 
Tried to cop a plea, got kneecaps broken; in recovery, and missing the old

Dr. Sarah Fairchild herself, with her two hundred precious pieces of baked 
goods, is not immune to the lure of crime in a less important Japanese city!

Under Construction                 Sat Jan 22    Gemma
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have begun rebuilding parts of the land grid.

Mostly, I am redescing rooms whose politics are behind the times, and nuking 
rooms that either have no desc or have never been used.

Regarding the latter, you are not likely to notice a difference, since you do 
not use these rooms anyway. Regarding the former: do not be surprised if an 
object you left somewhere on the grid ends up moved slightly, or back in your 
inventory again. Africa will be sliced down to about half or less of the rooms 
it was before, and Europe will probably be next. Hopefully this will make 
these areas easier to traverse in the future.

up-to-date.

Incidentally, if I made an error redescing a room because I was not correctly 
on-top of changes RF, Masters, or the like have made to the areas, that will 
happen. If the descs are in error, please send revisions to me.

Skinner Armor                      Fri Jan 28    Gemma
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Skinner Armor is not a power armor.

Ninety-five percent of the time, skinner armor is not an armor form.

If you app for a skinner, it is mostly FLAVOR. It may effect how your weapons 
work, if you have a borrowed weapon. Otherwise, Skinner armor is NOT donned as 
an 'armor form' and does not confer additional stat bonuses. This is 
especially true if you are an e-human and would have high stats anyway: 
Skinner armor does not confer any bonuses above that.

It is just armor.... not 'ARMOR.' It's generally assumed for NOW that a skinner 
is wearing a dead reploid: not a working one who would confer its full 
physical bonuses unto the wearer.

it. You will be accomadated.

About TP temping                   Sun Jan 30    Gemma
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By the way, if you haven't been tapped yet to temp a TP alt, this in no way 
means that you are not likely to at some point in the future. All it means is 
that we aren't ready for all the alts yet and are distributing them as-needed 
rather than all at once.

Blame Canada
Blame Canada
It seems like everything's gone wrong since Canada came along
Blame Canada
Shame on Canada!

We have to form a full assault!

It's Canada's fault!

Blizzard Man has 100 cookies! Unfortunately, that means we now have to invade 
his home country for the rich chocolate chip goodness. But congratulations 
anyway!

Note: San Angeles                  Mon Jan 31    Gemma
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
San Angeles's no-combat flags have been restored.

As of right now, due to their misbehavior, Robot Masters are /no longer 
allowed/ to walk around out of disguise in this otherwise neutral area. These 
are the consequences. If you want to enter San An for random RP, you will have 
to do it in disguise. Otherwise, use Eurasia as the last remaining bastion of 
freewheeling neutrality. Other factions are of course still welcome in San An.

Combat-Related Downtime            Mon Jan 31    Mesarthim
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the interest of promoting RP and keeping people from sitting out of pickup 
scenes to make sure that they'll be able to attend a planned scene half a week 
away, there has been some revisions of the expected "downtimes" between combat 
scenes.

If you are lightly injured (~20% of END), you should not fight any more that 
day.

If you are significantly injured (~50% of END) or are lightly injured several 
days in a row, you should take several days off for repairs and to let the 
airplane glue set (whether figuratively or literally)

If you are very severely injured (~90% of END) or knocked out, you should take 
at least three days off, and should consider doing a medbay/repair scene if 
such is feasible for you. This is bad mojo, and should also provide you with 
incentive to retreat (or +retreat) when you are getting your butt handed to 
you.

Update your syllabus accordingly.

Addendum                           Mon Jan 31    Mesarthim
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These apply to V-armor conflicts, /but only for VR purposes/.

Example: Alia sends Alia.EXE out to have a girlish slapfight with Roll.EXE and 
Protoman.EXE.
Alia.EXE takes about twenty percent of her END in damage, and Alia has to 
recompile the code, which takes about a day.
Roll.EXE takes about fifty percent of her END in damage, and Roll has to reload 
drivers and generally make things work again, taking severay days.
Protoman.EXE is utterly wrecked by Alia's superior slap technique, and his 
enigmatic operator has to recode entire sections /and/ try to find the 
original OS disk, thus making him unfit for net-combat use for at least three 
days.

It is acceptable to enter combat in the Real while your V-armor is being fixed, 
although if you are personally badly injured, you will likely not be able to 
work on fixing your V-armor until you are better.
