Shadress has returned and she desires your destruction. At any point after you read this until Halloween is over, she may make an appearance in the Wasteland. There are a few things I can inform you of.

A system announcement will occur when she enters the Wasteland to alert everyone of her presence.

Shadress will tend to migrate towards neutral squares if any are present. This will allow more people to come to her to try and stop her rampage.

Shadress only cares about fighting the strongest of opponents. As such, she will only target those who are Avatars.

Shadress is a little weaker from her previous appearance, but will still be difficult to take down.

Those who take her down, i.e. land the final hit, will be rewarded with a couple goodies as well as the Shadress banner. Those who participate but don't take her down may receive an item or two as well.

If Shadress is on a square and is left alone for to long, she might start attacking of her own accord. Keep in mind though, she will only target those who are Avatars.

Good luck to all of you...

I've released the first part of my chat update and it's nowhere near finished yet. I just wanted to start testing it and reassure people that I have been working on stuff.

It still needs emoticons, swear filter, user list, display of flood restrictions, commands, chat moderators and a whole lot more (suggest any features I haven't mentioned).

A few things I did get in to this first version are the alerts on the tabs when new messages arrive, and you can press the up / down arrows to cycle through your history (something that I've missed in all my previous chat clients). More features will be added to it soon!

Below are the Warfare results for the last round. I'm still working on my new "Online Chat", it'll be a stand alone thing at first but later will incorporate Warfare Chat and Side Chat as well.

Warfare: July - September 2015
1: Blade of Dawn: 2,317,260 Points
2: Outcasts: 1,571,950 Points
3: Chapter: 645,170 Points
4: Dark Flame: 522,200 Points

Have fun!

Slightly late warfare this morning as I overslept, but it's all up now. Today I'm going to be reworking the code behind Side Chat. It's older than dirt and still uses Javascript AJAX methods instead of jQuery, I'm hoping that updating it all will also fix the issue where a tab running Legacy in Google Chrome slowly uses up all available CPU on a system. It should also open the way to allowing players to adjust the font size / scroll back through chat history / etc.

Good luck in Warfare, results will be posted later!
