This was on the list of things to do and with the excitement of the first game it slipped my mind! Here in the news we're allowing ourselves to be much more casual. I don't want to seem like an admin that's the high and mighty ultimate authority. While I am. I just want to be on the same level as you guys, I'm just a nerd that gave this game a home. Anyway this thread won't be updated too terribly often. When things happen such as staff taking trips I.e. being away for a while and putting our duties on hold or decisions we want you all to help us make, whatever the case, it'll be here. Now that that introduction is out of the way let's get to some real news.
To start, our first game started yesterday (Huzzah!) If you see the shout-box you can relive all the drama of myself last night. Don't worry. The shout-box will not be doused in game coverage like that unless it's a championship game; I'll get to that in a second. So with the first game started we'd like to encourage the community to not only start their own games but spread the word about our forum where ever possible, friends, other forums, all that. Just don't get yourself kicked out of the forum for advertising, we don't want you to break any rules. The biggest thing is to get the word out, more word means more people, more people means more games! Also, I am personally still discovering stuff and figuring out how things work so if anyone has any tips I should know post a reply to this thread. (P.s. Suggestions topic coming soon)
Next bit of news. If you look above this post you will see the most default and ugliest banner to ever disgrace the top of a forum. We know. So we've decided to hold a banner contest! Submit banner works you'd like to see at the top, and we'll vote on them. There are only a few rules we have.
1. Nothing gross, immoral, profane, ect. (This shouldn't be an issue.)
2. We aren't trying to make any form of profit off of this forum so copyrighted and trademarked images shouldn't be and issue so if you find something cool and want to submit it that is protected, that's perfectly fine, however we would kind of like to steer away from those, just to be safe.
3. Must be something related to the game. Somehow it should be able to be tied into the concept of the game, similar to the default avatar.
That's about it for rules on the banner competition.
Next up, as the first game is underway it is also the first game that will lead to a championship game. Each staff member (if they wish) will hold a champion for however long it takes for the next championship game. So in my case, I will hold 8 regular games, the winner of each of those will compete in a championship game. More info on those in How This Game Works. Whoever becomes the champion will hold the title and get immortalized in the wall of champions along with their winning race! These championship games will be covered and updated on the Shout-box but still not with the frequency of my posts last night. Hopefully that makes sense.
One final announcement. I have no idea how to get browsers to put this forum in their search results or if it'd done automatically. I don't know how that works. But if anyone does. Let me know so I can take the proper steps to get it on search results. It will provide a well needed boost to traffic on the forum.
That's all the news for today! Toodles!
