game updates are go! [05 Apr 2015|12:39am] New layouts, headers, tables, tags, EVERYTHING have been done for newavalonmods and avalon_ooc. Kait's having some trouble with her computer battery, so while most of the mod journal pages have been switched to the new layout, we're still under some minor construction. We did get a lot of stuff done, though, so click the cuts to see what's what. :D ( OOC community ) ( General Changes ) newavalon has been officially set up! Every single character in New Avalon should have received an invitation to join, and has been removed from avalon_net, avalon_comm and avalon_logs. So next time you go to play a character, you'll just have to click one button and be good to go. Here are the important things about our new game community that you need to know: » Every active journal has been sent an invitation to newavalon and should have a comment, either to their contact post or their application post, telling you what their IC tag is. If one of your characters doesn't have one, it's because of a small oversight. We promise not to stealthily kick anyone out during the move. Just drop us a note or request access and we'll fix that right up. » Everyone's posting access and memberships to the previous comms has been removed. Even newavalonmods has been removed in favor of newavalonbackup, so that our actual mod journal remains as uncluttered as possible and looks all simple and inviting to new players. If you have active threads or posts in any of the old comms, you're more than welcome to finish them where they are and submit any April activity links from those if you need to. There just won't be any new posts in the old communities. » You can begin posting immediately! In fact, there's already an entry that we used as a test, so the ice is broken. » The new tagging system goes like this: because everything is in the same community, there are ! tags for every kind of post: !network post, !log/thread, !text message, !misc communication (that last one is just anything that isn't the other three). As gamewide plots happen, we'll be adding specific tags for them so they're easier to track. » Because we've cut down to a single community, you will not be able to create your own tags anymore. We'll make one anytime a character is accepted. If you want it changed for any reason (e.g. say I entered Evangeline as "Angie Frost" and Kait was like "no I prefer Evangeline", or if I spelled it "Butthead Frost" by accident), just swing by the Drop Box and ask us to fix it. (This is why we dropped the tag into a comment, by the by; we want to start this thing off on the right foot.) » We strongly suggest that you make use of headers in the new communities (e.g. "log: renegade & agent 11" or "network post: extremis" or "text: druid to micro"). You don't have to use codenames, but you get the idea. It'll make it easier to parse out what's what on your friend's lists or the community itself, since not everyone's friend's lists has visible tags. If you have any questions, ask them below! - Kait & Jo 0 comments add one
