One More Chance Teasers            Sat Apr 03    Duo
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have uploaded a rather hefty selection of One More Chance teaser songs. 
These songs may or may not appear in the final soundtrack, but each one does 
have signficance towards the GP (that's GinormousPlot for those of you keepign 
score at home) in both the song itself and it's label. No I won't clarify any 
of them, no I won't comment on any guesses or assumptions you may make. That'd 
take all the fun out of it. :D

They can be found at:

http://www.megamanmush.mudservices.com/shaun/omcteasersoundtrack/

WARNING: Some songs have explicit lyrics.
DISCLAIMER: I'll admit some of the songs aren't so good, they were chosen for 
content not quality. :D

NOTE: One song at a time please, my server isn't very stable, and there are 
mushes running on it, so please try not to slam it, these files will be up for 
at least the next three weeks, so try to go easy on it, 'kay? :D

Neo Arcadia                        Mon Apr 05    Duo
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As some of you may have heard me mentioning on channel this weekend, I've let 
the cat out of the bag on Neo Arcadia, which will be one of the first (if 
minor) plot points of One More Chance. They will be permament characters, and 
for now will function as a Civilian subgroup much like the Yakuza and 
Interpol. While they are not open for applications yet, they will be within a 
few weeks, and during that time we will also be announcing new character 
limits, revisions on human and power armor stat limitations, and a few other 
fun things. For now, here is a list of the new characters being added for Neo 
Arcadia, so that you guys can get a head start on looking them over, and 
perhaps thinking about applying. Again, these are /not/ TP characters, these 
are permament regular E/S/FCs.

Neo Arcadia (formerly known as Mexico City):

Elpizo
Sage Harpuia
Templar Fefnir
Fairy Leviathan
Umbra Phantom
Ciel
Cerveau
Milan (not finished as of the time of this post)
Alouette (same as Milan)

The last two I should have finished within the next few days. Also keep in 
mind that these profiles /may/ and probably /will/ be revised and edited over 
the course of the next few weeks, but the basic premises will stay the same 
for the most part. If you have any questions about Neo Arcadia, I will be 
happy to answer them.

Light Labs: Clarification          Thu Apr 08    Leo
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In 2217, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court, for a 
crime they didn't commit. These Robot Masters promptly escaped from a maximum 
security stockade to the Neo-Tokyo Underground. Today, still wanted by the 
government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no 
one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire.... The 
G-Team.

Ahem. Bass' Perfect Storm didn't blow up Light Labs. The Perfect Storm wasted 
everything around Light Labs and Rock. Light Labs was destroyed from inside by 
the G-Tea...by Gemini Man and his crack team of Robot Master terrorists.

Neo Arcadia                        Fri Apr 09    Duo
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've gotten a lot of questions about this, so I'll answer them here:

There is a news file being prepared that delves into the backstory and history 
of Neo Arcadia, but for the most part, the group is just now rising from the 
unified ashes of several of the other anti-robot leagues worldwide. The 
characters themselves, yes, have vague backgrounds, they were meant to be. The 
Guardians don't talk about their pasts, they have no names, as they say. At 
best they go by their code names, no one else knows their true names, nor do 
some of them (like Harpuia) even consider their given names their true names.

So, for the most part, take some creative liscense if you're working on an 
app, and wait on the news file to expand upon things if you need further help.

In lieu of Neptune being on extended and possibly indefinate vacation, the 
following changes have been made to staff structures.

would m... obeyed better than me (since none of you mooks ever listen to /ME/) 
and is basically the boss if I'm not around, in concerns of everything 
overall, as well as theme decisions.

- Gemma will now be serving as the FacStaff head, and will be overseeing all 
FacStaff operations, and is the ultimate authority on character concepts and 
what goes and what doesn't. If you have an appeal about a FacStaffer decision, 
it should go to her. She will, however, also remain as the Robot Master 
facstaffer, and she also now serves as the 'Third Key'. If Mercury or myself 
are not around, she is the highest authority.

Any questions, feel free to ask 'em. :D

Irregular Overlords                Tue Apr 13    Duo
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Have gone off into the great wide open, exploring the final frontier. Not all 
have gone on this magical sojourn, but most probably will. Epsilon leads them 
now, as Scott has gone back home with Constance to the retirement home, where 
Dr. Wily surely has him under tight surveilance.

IO OCs may remain as civilians for as long as they wish, you can even change 
your name if you prefer. Otherwise you're free to take your characters in 
whatever direction you wish.

The Bonnes most likely will return to Sri Lanka, where they will consider 
their options in lieu of their betrayal of Wily, but knowing them, they'll be 
sure to be causing their old usual brand of mischief soon enough! It's also 
probably likely that some IO OCs will hang with them in the meantime.

On behalf of the staff, and the TP players, we all hope you enjoyed the 
prelude to what I promised would be the most exciting year M3 would ever see. 
I would especially like to thank Leo, who's portrayal of Epsilon and constant 
endeavors and hard work made the TP work, and was directly responsible for 
most of it's bad assitude. If you have any thanks to give for the IO TP, they 
should go to him, where I dropped the ball, he picked it up and ran with it.

Are the Irregular Overlords gone forever? Don't count on it. Both the 
Irregulars and the Overlords have always been recurring TP chars, they'll 
surely make their return... and perhaps the mystery of the Omnidroids will 
finally be revealed. But until then! Enjoy the next TP, the currently running 
One More Chance, which we all hope will prove to be as fun and exciting as we 
expect it to be!

Applications for new Irregular Overlords will not be allowed, and if current

Also, if you plan on keeping your IO OC, they /will/ count towards your char 
limits, however, if you had three characters already, plus your IO, you won't 
be forced to drop anyone. However, if you /do/ drop a character, your charlist 
will still be considered full. If you need clarification on that, please feel 
free to ask. :D

Neo-Arcadia (1/2)                  Tue Apr 13    Arcturus
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overview:

         Neo-Arcadia is the premiere pro-human force in the world. They do not 
operate under any world standard; having seceded from the UN in early 2217, 
they are an autonomous country. The country is seen as a haven for those who 
are not pleased with the state of affairs that forces them to be outmoded by 
self-aware machines, and most of the 'anti-reploid' groups around the world 
have moved here. While distrust of robots is fairly common among humans, the 
Neo-Arcadians are simply more forward about it, and the average Neo-Arcadian 
either hates or fears AI.

Rank Structure:

         Neo-Arcadia is a somewhat more organized faction than others, being 
of a 'military' nature overall, though it does not quite have Repliforce's 
solid structure. Its leader, both politically and militarily, is Elpizo, who 
handles large portions of all aspects of Neo-Arcadian government. He signs 
bills into law, for example, while at the same time ordering military strikes 
where necessary.

         The next in line for the chain of command are Ciel, who- with Cerveau 
as her second in command- runs Medical, Science, and Engineering, and the 
Guardian squad. Sage Harpuia is the leader of the Guardians, with the 
assistance of Fairy Leviathan and Umbra Phantom, controls the 
information-gathering, espionage, and other less savory portions of 
Neo-Arcadia's military dealings, whereas Templar Fefnir functions as the 
leader, besides Elpizo (and Sage Harpuia, if he wishes to supercede Fefnir's 
authority), of the assault forces.

         The Neo-Arcadians do not have the benefit of extensive numbers of 
'drones' that many of the other factions do; their troops are almost entirely 
human or cybernetic, with the occasional /meticulously/ programmed lone drone. 
Neo-Arcadia places less trust in completely automated defenses than the other 
factions.

Neo Arcadia (2/2)                  Tue Apr 13    Arcturus
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Characters:

         Being a Civilian Subfaction, the amount of Feature Characters in the 
group is surprisingly high- Elpizo is the 'fachead' of the group, with Sage 
Harpuia and Templar Fefnir next in rank. Then Fairy Leviathan and Umbra 
Phantom are the next set, with Ciel and Cerveau also carrying some degree of 
importance within the faction. Milan and Alouette are also Feature Characters 
in the faction, but they do not carry as much importance as the other 
mentioned characters.

         Original Characters are encouraged in the Neo-Arcadian faction, and 
applicants are encouraged to remember that this is the 'grey area' of the 
Civilian sub factions. As such, both 'sensitive new-age Neo-Arcadians' and 
'hardcore robot-haters' will probably be in the faction.

Faction Relations:

         Neo-Arcadia's relationship with the other factions is somewhat tense; 
really, it is one of the few factions that, if worse comes to worse, can come 
to blows with most other factions. The precise way the other factions will 
relate to them will, largely, depend on the actions of the faction's 
playerbase; however, the Mavericks and the Neo-Arcadians will /always/ be at 
odds in a major way.

Conclusion:

         If you have any questions about the Neo-Arcadian faction, or wish to 
apply into it, talk to your current Civilian staffer, or @mail him or her with 
your query. Applications for Neo-Arcadian characters go to 
civilians@megamanmush.com. If you've already picked up someone... well. 
Excellent, and hello. If you have any questions, you can always feel free- 
naturally- to talk to your Civilian staffer.

Neo Arcadian Naming Conventions    Thu Apr 15    Duo
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All Neo Arcadian OCs will start off outside of the Guardian group. You can 
probably get promoted into it, but you can't start out as a Guardian. This 
means when you app for a Neo Arcadian, please app for them with their normal 
(or as close to normal) name they've got. If you get promoted to Guardian. 
Sage Harpuia or Elpizo himself will bestow a codename on you that fits 
whatever you're good at and most likely what got you promoted to Guardian 
status in the first place.

Stat Guidelines                    Thu Apr 15    Duo
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All OC apps will now function on a base 42.

To explain:

If you are:
An Android/Reploid/Bioroid/Hybrid: Nothing changes, your basic guideline is a 
CST of 42. Your max stat is 10.

Normal Human with Power Armor: Your power armor has no stat limitations, and 
also has a 42 total and a 10 max stat.

Enhanced Human, Cyborg, or Strider: Your CST total is 42 and 10 is your max 
stat.

In other words, we're generalizing every type of character to the same basic 
average or standard. Now this doesn't mean all characters are 42s. Non-combat 
types (Scientists, Medics, Scouts, Recon, Spec Ops, Black Ops, etc.) should be 
a bit lower, and in very very very rare cases, if you write a phenominal app, 
we may reply to you saying you can add a few points beyond 42 (but if you ask 
for them ahead of time, unless you've written a stellar app, expect to have 
them bumped down.)

By the way, existing human OCs may reapp up to 30 days from today and restat 
to the new guidelines if they feel it necessary and can justify it. Please 
keep in mind you will have to justify any stat that is changing, and that you 
aren't necessarily garunteed to get any stats raised.

Also, there is no longer a 5 PA per faction rule.

At current, only Neo Arcadians and Striders may be Enhanced Humans, but in the 
future, this racetype may feasibly open up within other factions.

Further Explaination               Thu Apr 15    Duo
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No, existing humans may /not/ become enhanced humans.

No, you cannot have power armor /and/ be an enhanced human. The only exception 
to that rule are the four primary Guardians of Neo Arcadia.

Normal humans still have to abide by human stat rules, it is only their /power 
armors/ that may be at base 42, furthermore, not every normal human is 
garunteed a power armor, and power armor use rules still apply (you can't 
summon it, you have to wear it out from the base).

For info purposes:

NeoArcadia does not have the Power Armor technology. They have Enhanced 
Humans, and they have Enhanced Humans who wear a bit of Armor, but it is not 
Power Armor.

Chan Color Vote                    Sat Apr 17    Duo
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since I've gotten more complaints about the colors being gone, than them being 
here.

We're holding a vote.

Since there is a substantial amount of justification for them or against them 
(if color messes you up, it's very easy to just @set me=!color, or if you need 
colors, some of you can set clientside stuff --but not all of us can)

Thus, there will be a voting machine in the OOC lounge over it. We'll leave it 
up for a few days or so and see how it goes.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just so you guys know:

If an admin does or say something to you that you don't like, understand 
that's it's probably because of me. One of my policies, or one of my ideas.

Same thing goes for code, 90 percent of the code on here I'd say, maybe more 
like 80 or 75, but a good deal of it, started off as my idea. +headsup? That 
was me. +org? THat was me too. The combat system? Yup, guilty as charged. 
Colored channels? Me too.

Don't take things out on the other admin, if they tell you something you don't 
like. Bring it to me, because I'm where the heat should be going, because I'm 
the guy who's responsible for the direction things go in around here. I lost 
an admin today because of such things, and I'd prefer not to lose any more. 
You ain't gonna scare me away, I don't have anywhere else to go. But the other 
admin? They're just doing their jobs as best they can, with the rules they've 
been given. So don't be so hard on them. Okay?

We'll be leaving all the OOC channels non-colored. Chain of Command and Staff 
however (which most of you don't have to put up with) will go back to being 
colored because most of us CoC/Admin types have a lot of channels we have to 
deal with, and it makes it easier for us to keep track of things.

And no, I'm not getting a new client that can do triggers (/you/ can get a new 
client that doesn't screw up with them. ;D).

Neo Arcadia: Quickie Ruling        Mon Apr 19    Arcturus
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Neo Arcadia, on average, hates AI. Not technology. I've been getting a /lot/ 
of questions on this recently, and the general rule is this:

No, Neo Arcadia does not hate cybernetics in and of themselves. I mean, 
+finger Elpizo.

Neo Arcadia does, however, generally hate AI. I mean, they're Mexico City.

Neo Arcadia also generally hates Maverick Cyborgs, though that's because 
they've /forsaken/ their humanity by pitching in with the Coalition. Most of 
them regard Sigmund Doppler as the absolute bottom rung of the human ladder.

Neo Arcadian Security              Thu Apr 22    Gemma
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just a note on Neo Arcadian security.

If you come in through the teleporters, you're subject to a bioscan. The 
scanners DO check to see if you are human, and if you are a robot, it's likely 
you aren't going to make it in past the gates. You're also checkpointed at any 
of the ground-level areas, and AIs are basically shot on sight. Coming by air 
is theoretically possible, but it's going to be painful for you.

For now, reploids and androids (And Maverick Cyborgs, since they're so 
tricked-out that they probably don't register as human anymore) should 
consider that area off-limits without Infiltration or being SERIOUS masters of 
disguise (right down to the scanner level), or with special admin permission 
that I'm not handing out like candy.

Just because the robot-killing mob can't be IC all the time to beat the tar 
out of you doesn't mean the citizens aren't always hostile there to robot 
types. Treat the area like an enemy base, not just a city.

Thanks!

Type Rarities                      Sat Apr 24    Gemma

Staff is going through a lot of applications lately to add resistances and 
weaknesses to characters. Some of them get sent back if they aren't balanced

are outdated. So here's an updated list of type rarities, in order from rarest 
to most common, to help you with these applications.

Timestopper, Barrier, Air, Water, Electric, Acid, Ice, Sonic, Gravity, Fire, 
Explosive, Blunt, Blade, Energy

Mostly, Electric is not as common as it used to be, and Gravity is much more 
common. Some of the other types are swapped around as well.

IC Livejournals                    Sun Apr 25    Mercury
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This came up sometime last year, and it looks like--as happens with all old 
topics--it's come around again.

IC Livejournals are cool. It's fun to keep a journal for your character as an 
aid to characterization and so forth. However, things written in them in no 
wise affect the MUSH. Mostly, this is so people who have no LJ and have no 
desire to get one don't get left out of things that might end up being pretty 
important.

That's all. This is not meant to be some crazy Nazi "stop having fun, dammit!"

         Hi guys, Frozen Death Cat here. I'll be the new coder here, fixing 
stuff, adding stuff, all sorts of crazy business. Any problems you might be 
aware of, even if you already told a previous coder, be sure to put them on 
board 3 or page or @mail me personally. My @mail box is also open to any kind 
of suggestions, even the really whacky ones, so don't be shy!

         Now, that being said. You probably won't see me hanging around a 
whole lot, since our esteemed Director already has a number of things for me 
to do, so at least for a while I'm going to be hanging out hidden usually and 
working on dark code magic. If you want to discuss an idea with me, just drop 
me an @mail, and I'll arrange to chat with you about it. So, as Duo would say, 
Game On.
