Banality -- What's Going On With lash

FAQ


What's going on at SFRP
So here's what's going on with SFRP:
Not a whole lot.

True, we have a lot of updates in the works. We have a fairly sizeable staff team. We even have regular meetings (Saturdays/Sundays at 4PM MDT).

The fact is that it's mostly stalled in staff.

At the moment, active staff consists of two people: Sniper and Omega. I'm the less active, third member of the Star Force student council.

The others have more or less drowned in life. Torchman's wrapping up his last year of college. Lastdesire's working hotels in Japan. A-coya's married and looking forward to her first child. Rikaru's working as a warehouse packer.

Given a choice between spending their limited time typing for your enjoyment or taking care of life's necessities, they've tried to balance both...

We currently are working through rules updates in the staff room - we being Sniper and Omega. All the rules are getting reviewed, rewritten, and made better - at the rate of one section a meeting.

SFRP moves slowly.

A lot of the systems implemented since I came aboard have been half-baked, pushed out by mavericks. And I love that.

I'm looking for mavericks, members who are driven to create, improve, and assist. If you can NPC a thread, if you can run a plot, if you can balance a profile, you're pretty much staff material. I can train knowledge into you, but I can't train a fire into your belly.

What's happening in real life
This is accidentally turning into a pity party. Whoops.

So, here's what my schedule normally looks like:
MondayTuesdayWednesdayThursdayFridaySaturdaySunday
Daytime

8AM-5PM
Work at an IT shop.Work at an IT shop.Work at an IT shop.Work at an IT shop.Work at an IT shop.Work on home improvement.Family Obligations
Evening

(6PM - 9PM)
Supper, bedtimeSupper, bedtimeSupper, bedtimeSupper, bedtimeSupper, bedtimeSupper, bedtimeFamily obligations.


I don't have internet access at home.
I don't have unfettered access at lunch hour.

And these past two weeks haven't been normal.

My grandmother, bless her heart, started a rough last round with Cancer almost two weeks ago. We drove 18 hours to see her on August 16. Less than a week later - on the 22nd - she hung up her gloves.

Translation: My grandmother is dead.

Funeral arrangements, dealing with surprising amounts of stupid bureaucratic poop. It takes a surprising amount of time to do anything when your grandmother is dead or dying.

She'll be buried next Tuesday - on September 1st.

I'll be moving my grandfather and uncle to my home. It's a large move in terms of stuff and distance.

You pick up the slack
I need you to pick up the slack for me. NPC in staff's stead in the virus threads. You've been here a while. You've read my guide. I have faith in you.

Some staffly things need to be done. The boring, mundane task of writing area descriptions. There are probably plots you can think of (teacher can't take it any more! Doctor gone mad!). You could even propose a whole new system.

That promised plot is coming
I slacked a bit when it came to getting new systems ready for the September 1st site plot kickoff.

But it's still on. Even if I haven't had time to fully work over the systems, the core plot points are written and ready to post.

We're going to start the exciting next chapter of SFRP.

And you're going to be a part of it.

It's going to be epic. Huge ancient powers waking, new battle stuff, new antagonists, and the world cup of battle tournaments.

We're going to experience it. Together.

As I said before I'm not quite sure how active I'm always going to be since I work a full time job as well, but I will do my best. I tried to click on the "boring, mundane task of writing area descriptions" that you had mentioned in your post there, but I keep getting an error. Did you link to something that isn't available for public consumption or something?

I'm sorry to be the barer of bad news. Considering what this entire post was supposed to be addressing, I actually kind of feel like a jerk for having even brought it up to be honest.

Out of curiosity, though, what kind of area descriptions were you asking about? How long would you have liked them to be?

Not sure why the area descriptions list isn't working. Maybe I broke the link?

Here's an example:
Quote:
 
Area Description:
Located a block away from Time Square proper is the Betting Arena.

Red brick covers the ground, abruptly transitioning from concrete walkway to a large "park" consisting of the red stone. From the road - all four of them, which form the "park" borders - you can see bright blue stands. Built in a circle, they split to form the two entrances to the arena.

Above the arena, suspended from poles, is a perfectly circular screen. It's massive, displaying the same thing, no matter from where you look. Usually it displays fighter names and amounts bet on each.

The arena itself is hexagonal, with a mesh dome, and mesh sides. They're actually Faraday mesh, with transparent EM waves projected on both sides, reinforcing the arena to minimize possible spillover of the fighting. The floor of the arena is gray, like a wrestling mat.

The arena is quite spacious - about 40m from edge to edge.

The arena is well-kept. Constant complaints about lack of use have the city contemplating demolition, an issue that comes up with every election.

Vending machines sit at the entrances, inviting you to "Tap to Snap".[/quote

Strange; this is the warning I actually get when I try to click it:

Error: You do not have permission to access this topic. Error Code: 4:1810818

I get this even when I tried to click it in the chat box. That being said, how many of these do you need written up? I'd being willing to help out with some of them I'm sure ^^

Check to see that you're logged in. It looks like there's some weird bug that randomly logs you out when you click on either of those links. That area is the public staff discussion which is only visible by members, which is probably why you get a permission denied error.

There is ALWAYS a possibility
