So for those who might have forgotten by now: signups for the new Werewolves game are done. Be sure to check the last post of it to see what's going on. The short version is that if you signed up, you need to message me with your anonymous identity. It has already been a thing for a couple days so I'll let it keep going until Monday when I get home (roughly 2PM EST (or 3PM if you go back server time in the upper right). At which point I'll get it setup with Lynx's new system (thanks to Lynx again by the way) and we will go from there.

Also, a bunch of people were able to participate in the Shadress invasion of the Wasteland this year and will be receiving a gift bag which may or may not include the banner. With Aldo successfully getting multiplayer raids figured out though, next year we can potentially get one setup so that fighting her is available all day (for all of those who miss it due to time constraints) as well as rewards for doing so.

So the take away from all of this:

• Message Will with Werewolf name


• Game will start some time Monday


• Shadress rewards some time this weekend


• Brace yourself...Winter is coming

This is a multi-purpose blog. First I'll announce that the ghost/zombie, Stramineus, and Joe's Halloween items will be disappearing on the 10th. Hunt those ghosts while you can!

Next, some small updates/bug fixes.

The padding on forum posts was bugged after the anonymous forum update. I fixed that (also added 10 px padding on top of forum posts, up from the 5px before. I think it looks nicer).

I added the active skills on a drone run on mouseover of the drones module and on the drone bays page.

I buffed the drone skill Evasion, so that it rolls Reliability * 3 instead of 2. With 25 Reliability, you'd have a 75% chance of evading danger, up from 50%. It was one of the least used skills, so hopefully this encourages more players to try it. Heavy Forcefield and Nanobot Repairs are also underused, but not sure how to go about buffing them.

Finally, everybody go sign up in Wolf's Werewolves thread in Games Forum. It'll be fun, I promise.

Got the time to make yet another forum update.

Legacy forums will recieve a "Werewolf game mode", once enabled by staff, any thread set up to be a WW game, will be stripped of any data that could link a poster to their legacy identity.

This is only intended to be used for official werewolf games, and/or on special occasions any other staff approven werewolf game.

In Werewolf game mode, the following rules apply:
- No flags visible.
- No signatures visible.
- No levels visible.
- No badges visible.
- No post counters visible.
- No PM buttons.
- No forum titles/avatar titles.
- No editing/deleting posts.
- Only players participating can post.

Staff will be able to give each participating player an alias that will appear instead of your regular legacy account name in posts and quotes.

As previously mentioned, if staff haven't given you an alias, thus not participating, can post in any werewolf thread.

If you have any questions, feel free to post in help forum, or send me a pm

The Werewolves Game has begun in the Games Room forum. There are a few new roles and updated rules, so be sure to read my first two posts in the thread.

I will also answer any rule related questions posted in the thread or PMed to me.

Have fun!
