December 08, 2008

Good Morning all, I have decided to just edit the update from last week and change it up, as to not lose any of the replies.

Morrath’s Monday update was created for everyone to have a quick reference as to how the game is progressing. The “New News” is items that have been added in the last week or so. The “Old News” contains links to threads that new users should read to be brought quickly up to speed on the games development.

Last Update 8:02am (mountain) December 8th, 2008

Your Monday Updates make sifting through this forum much much easier. Thanks, Baron.

Oooooh how I’ve missed these! Updaterriffic as always Baron! :p

 
Avatar Kempeth 117 post(s)

What took you so long to post this week Wampa? ;-)

 
Avatar Slick 810 post(s)

This is easily one of the best Monday Updates ever. Now we just have to wait for the Monday Update saying “The new site is live!”

Rock on, Baron!

 
Avatar Wampa_Dan 5,137 post(s)

@ Kempeth: the usual working myself to death. No free time… :p

P.S. This should be an official feature on the new site!

 
Avatar ChaosChild 1,342 post(s)

That’s if Morrath wants to continue doing it. Otherwise D could take over and make it properly official.

 
Avatar BaronMorrath 356 post(s)

I am happy either way., I’ll probably still do it, if it doesnt get picked up by anyone.
Or perhaps I will supply it to my gang only mwhahaha
jokes, of course it will be for everyone.

 
Avatar ChaosChild 1,342 post(s)

Maybe we can get it properly stickied on the new site?

 
Avatar BlackBaron 511 post(s)

Cool work my fellow Baron.

As a lurker who’s finally posted, these have been great for me to play catch up when I stop by.

 
Avatar BaronMorrath 356 post(s)

It has been my pleasure fellow Baron

 
Avatar Wampa_Dan 5,137 post(s)

I think D should name sections of the new site after board members. Off topic board could be Wampa Dan’s Cave, The Gameplay board Yoda’s Haven from Wampa_Dan, and being banned would for ever known as being booted for slaxering… :P

 
Avatar AlphaCenturion 2,384 post(s)

That would be cool, actually. The phrase “March of the Centurion” could refer to a mass deletion of posts. (either that, or we could incorporate “Wampa and/or Crystal” into the name, and make it a phrase for a swarm of posts)

 
Avatar BlackBaron 511 post(s)

An Alpha Wampacrystal a.k.a. posting swarm.

 
Avatar AlphaCenturion 2,384 post(s)

Ah, that might work. An Alpha Wampacrystal. I like it. :D

 
Avatar Wampa_Dan 5,137 post(s)

I can see yodas fleeing under the might of the Alpha Wampacrystal storm… :p

 
Avatar BlackBaron 511 post(s)

hmmm…dangerous this is, yessss.

 
Avatar CrystalShadow 1,736 post(s)

Lol. an Alpha WampaCrystal. That would not be pleasant…
Sounds like some bizarre weapon that launches thousands of tiny sharp objects.

 
Avatar BlackBaron 511 post(s)

exactly, what did you think a posting swarm is?

 
Avatar CrystalShadow 1,736 post(s)

I want one. >:D

 
Avatar AlphaCenturion 2,384 post(s)

Technically, you are one.

 
Avatar ChaosChild 1,342 post(s)

Technically he’s one third of one :-)

 
Avatar AlphaCenturion 2,384 post(s)

Well, yeah, but I didn’t want to tie the three of us together into one entity if I didn’t have to. Being one by yourself sounds less… “cramped”.

 
Avatar CrystalShadow 1,736 post(s)

Don’t know if I’d want to be tied to Wampa for any particular length of time…
Don’t know about alpha. That might be fun. :P
