Roleplay Updates
We had a good discussion the other night about basically how our factions tend to work best when they're fighting things, and talked about antagonists like the Mishhuvurthyar and Kuvexians and other "enemy" factions and how they need to have strong, interesting leadership characters. Arieg seems to be working on making some art for third-generation Mishhuvurthyar ship designs.
The summer continues to create turbulence. The best thing you can do to keep your plots healthy is to post consistently, and don't wait forever for other players who might be away on vacations, etc. Just kind of gloss over what their characters are up to (or have them sort of step out of the camera angle, so to speak) and keep the plot moving.
Art Updates
Current art projects:
Wiki Shuffle
Today I moved a lot of corporate pages and namespaces into the corp namespace. If you have links to those on the forums, please update them to point to their new URLs. Also, I'm starting to delete WIPs that are not in the WIP namespace. If you need stuff moved into the WIP namespace, just ask me and I'll use the move plugin to move them. The plugin is better than doing it yourself because it automatically updates links on the other pages that have links to the moved page (i.e. backlinks).
