OK, now I'll be the first one to call myself a hypocrite for marching back in here like this, but the mod needs to get back moving. The game will be out before the month is out, and to anyone who takes a look, this mod may as well be dead... When I left the mod several months back, I said I wasn't gone for good, and now I'm back. And some serious decisions have to be made before we get our hands on the CS so that we can at least hit the ground running.

I don't hold much sway in the project any more, but we need to get the team reassembled and refocused. Focused on the points that matter. And as far as I can see, there's only a few.

1. What kind of numbers are we looking at in terms of actual individual books (including stories broken into segments)

2. Final layout plans for housing the books.

3. Are all the pieces spellchecked, edited and ready to roll?

The new site, from what I can gather, has crashed and burned, but we can run everything from here. I'm on the verge of collapsing from lack of sleep right now, so it'll be 24 hours before I start taking action, but I need to know who's still in, who's out and who's new and ready to do some work.

Watch this space.

Thanks, jchamber... A lot of my drive comes from the guilt of me abandoning this mod a little while back, and so feeling a personal responsibility for the state that it is now in... I was the one who came up with the idea, you know...

And I'll be sure to keep an eye on people's enjoyment levels... I think an enjoyment saturation factor of 10,000ppm is a fairly good minimum.

But remember that there will be times when you have to think of the bigger picture... times when their isn't much enjoyment in a current task, but its completion makes things worthwhile... like filling a thread up with edited stories... two hours of my life... poof... gone without a trace, espcially without a party... but I'm glad it's done.

So I'll make sure that everyone's enjoyment levels are well above 10.000ppm... for the most part smile.gif

Off you go then Troika, work work work! evillol.sml.gif

In all seriousness, I think we should draw up a nice big list of all the things that we need to do.

Number 1 and 2, as suggested before by Troika, would be:

QUOTE
getting all these stories onto these boards, where we can get at them easily. Once they're here, we can start focusing on getting them edited.


Now, how do you suggest we go about doing this?

Personally, I think #1 should be getting a mod to clean out half the junk sitting on the bottom of these pages...
