JANUARY


Welcome to 2009!

MOON CHANGE

Unfortunately, I've been called in to work. This means that I don't have time for character processing this morning. But I will make every effort to get to them tonight sometime. It will be Friday morning at the latest.

LATER: Okay, I got a tiny bit more done, just because I noticed it while I was looking at the litter request that's pending and decided to take care of it while I'm online during my break from work.

FEBURARY


It's February! Try not to get too deluged in pink.

GAME INFORMATION:


I have not been successfully listing my updates so far this month, so here's a list.

GAME INFORMATION

I do have more planned for additions at the moment. But there's a lot of footwork and research and just stuff in general that needs adding.

LATER: Processed Characters.

CHARACTER PROCESSING

I do know that I skipped some characters. My brain is a bit tapped out, and I didn't feel like thinking hard, and the one I skipped was an NPC who's dead.


GAME INFORMATION

WEBSITE SOFTWARE

There's another Software change coming.

And it spectacularly broke the forum.

CHARACTER PROCESSING


Today I repaired the broken forum. Finally. You will need to re-add your avvies, sorry about that.

More updates later.


Should have announced this quicker: Reuploading Avvies isn't needed anymore. I got that issue sorted.

TEMPLATE UPDATES

  • Extensive improvements to the Player Template
    • Reorganized the Character Slots section
    • Installed code to make '0' show up when no characters are found (WOOT!)
    • Added slot listing for the Cats of Camelot

Been awhile since I've posted updates... It's been nuts.

MARCH


Sorry about the delays in some of my front end work. I've been distracted by an assortment of various things, including a ton of stuff no-one can see yet because it relates to the new plot.

The number of 24 hour deletion warnings shows how long I've been neglecting Character Processing...

FORMER WEBSITE

As of today I did some updates to the old website to help make it more friendly to those popping in to see old threads and the like. It's been cleaned up some more, and I'll continue over the next weeks to continue closing things out and spiffing the place into a nice archive for the former role play.

GAME INFORMATION

  • Predator Guide

CHARACTER PROCESSING

NOTES ON WHAT IS TO COME

I've been contemplating things like a change to a more efficient system for the enforcement and implementation of the rules for activity. This is in addition to a focus on attempting to complete the predator guide and catching up on the back imports that I should have finished ages ago. I hope to have things like that squared away in the next couple of days, if only to have it out of my hair and make room for finishing other projects that have been pending on this site for far too long.

CHARACTER PROCESSING


CHARACTER PROCESSING

  • Notes
  • This means that the backlog of characters is now completed, so the list is nice and clean and has nothing to clutter it up. Which is most excellent. Focuses will now be shifted to finishing up other projects.

GAME INFORMATION

  • Predators Guide
  • Notes
  • All Owl species are now in the database. Three hawk species remain to be added, and the one falcon species yet to go. In 2-3 more days I should have the predator guide up to date.

CHARACTER PROCESSING

  • Adoptions
  • Approved Reedwhisker's request to adopt Shatteredtail
  • Staff Review of Bayshine's adoption status has started. If you are interested in this character at all, I suggest you submit an offer. He is eased and available to any player, new or old. Chances are he will be going into consideration for an end to his life.
  • Staff review of Sparroflight's adoption status has been started. See comments above.
  • Various other reviews of pending characters are underway at the moment. If you've been considering adoptions, now is a good time.

GAME INFORMATION

  • Predators Guide
  • Added Gyrfalcon, completing all entries for the "Falcon" species.

GENEALOGY DEPARTMENT

  • New Trees

NOTES ON WHAT IS TO COME

As you might have noticed, Nagini has continued the process of importing characters from the old site that we need for records. And I've continued to work to attempt to keep up with her progress. I will be continuing to struggle against the backlog, and I'll work to get those Hawk entries (there are 3 left) written up as quickly as possible.
The next phase then, following catching up with pending imports again, would be making a start on the upcoming change to the activity requirements (yes, again, but y'all will like this update. It'll make some things a bit simpler). Following that I'll be transitioning into working heavily on the various guides for healers.

CHARACTER PROCESSING

  • Adoptions
  • Not forgotten, reviews and easement proposals are in progress. We should have real news in the next few days.

GENEALOGY DEPARTMENT

CHARACTER PROCESSING

Caught up again! JOY!

  • Shardclaw's Adoption has been given Easement status.
  • Nightfall's Adoption has been given Easement status.

Technically I didn't do as much as it looks like... Really I sort of just cheated and did the mammal prey entry list into the To Do List which really added to the list. But since the prey templates are done... It really makes things all set to go alot faster. Oh, and I did the crosslinks on the weasels!

There are alot more updates to come over the next weeks, but that's inevitable. There are a million and one prey species left to add, on top of the fact that the complaints guide is still lacking. If you're interested in researching a complaint I'll love you forever. Just let me know.

Yesterday there was nothing, but I had both work and school. I just didn't have time to think about anything else. Expect the same tomorrow, when the situation is duplicated. I haven't forgotten CoSC, but I have to have my priorities, and schools pretty high on the list, right up there with work. I'm just making sure to get the key stuff done, and squeeze in what I can for other stuff. I expect activity to pick up, simply because I'm going to be spending the next few months trying actively to drive things forward and into proper activity again. I expect y'all to help me by coming up with thread ideas and acctually getting in character.

Back with more, around 1PM.

  • Completed ...
  • Predator - Adder

GAME INFORMATION

This makes the overlooked predator species that have been IDed so far in the system. So that's another fairly major addition to the guides done. Predators are now up to date with where I think they should be. If you have anything you think should be in the Pred Guide that's missing, let me know.
Taking a break now to handle some homework. Will edit this later when I get time to work on more stuff. I want to get some of the various complaints and other things associated with that added to the guides. In the same vein, I do also have some RP I want to think about today. Gotta love RP ;) Everyone should RP.

Yes... I meant to come back yesterday, but never succeeded. With luck I'll be getting plenty done today. Originally I was planning homework for today, but now it's going to wait until I can go to the library, which means tomorrow. It does free me up for more work here, though :)

Not really an update to the site, more of me just touching base for a moment to let you guys know that I haven't forgotten, but rather than I haven't had a chance for updates because of school. It's been a busy week, but I do expect to get time for at least an update. Just keep a mind to your RP and work on staying active! There's good stuff that'll be able to happen IC and a new ad campaign will begin as soon as we have some plans in place for coping with unplayed characters and replacing them with played ones.

I havn't forgotten y'all, just got a little bit busy.

Normal players, don't worry. They haven't been doing any damage, just creating the annoyance accounts. I'll continue to put the kibash on any I find, and block a few IPs as needed until I have enough information together for a permanent solution.

NOTES

  • Spam Blacklist Extension Added
I added this so that it will, with luck, eliminate the problem with the spam accounts that are getting created. It was a simple install, so if it fails to work it's not a big deal. Methodology will get more aggressive if this dosen't fix it, as we're up to me waking up to having to delete 2 accounts ever AM.

And since it's work tonight, that'll be my day here. Though I should squeeze in some Role Play time yet tonight.

PLAYER RELATIONS

CHARACTER PROCESSING

I know. Very short list. But I've been focused on cleaning around my house and preforming some upgrades that are a prelude to some really big and impressive improvements (baring all complications that are possible). With some luck the changes will go off without a hitch and some new spiffiness will arrive in the next few days, starting with some improvements to streamline things for new members).

CHARACTER PROCESSING

My apoologies to Fogdancer for not attending to her pending character. I will get to it tommorow, but I'm a bit too headachy today to deal with another app on top of the coming stuff with the software changes I have on deck.
As I'm doing the grunt work for the new spiffyness, you'll hear about today's other work via another announcement.

CHARACTER PROCESSING

And from here it's back to ye olde forms again. Just didn't seem right to keep Foggy waiting anymore since the core templates all got finished up.

TEMPLATES

GAME RELATED CHATTER

CHARACTER PROCESSING

And now it's time to think about getting set to head to see GI Joe with my husband (who's amazingly excited about it).

CHARACTER PROCESSING

The rest of today's fiddling will likely be with forms.

DEPARTMENTS

Characters are getting skipped due to needing to clean house today. They'll be done tomorrow.

CHARACTER PROCESSING


CHARACTER PROCESSING

It's nice to see a few new Clan Cats ready to go live! If I get more stuff done today it'll be Forms stuff.

CHARACTER PROCESSING

And anything else I do today will be on the forms project.


CHARACTER PROCESSING

Since I work tonight and want to crash through a specific series of forms... I'm off to deal with that.


CHARACTER PROCESSING

PLAYER RELATIONS

Mainly just spiffy layout changes and the addition of a count for with and without characters together.

I think that's the work-work that I'll get done today... and then from here I'll be heading over to the forms project after doing some stuff around the house. I should be reachable on AIM for most of the day, so make use of that if you need something while I'm wandering.


Ah, the joy of first days. Read the syllabus, ask some questions and get sent home. How fun.

CHARACTER PROCESSING

Decided that since there were NPCs I'd just crack them out while on break between Class and heading to work.


Because I have a bit of time right now, It's off to work I go.

CHARACTER PROCESSING

Did the clan cats. Kazul, I swear I'll get to your domestic soon ;)


CHARACTER PROCESSING

Since I have family to see before they run away ;) That's what I'm getting done today. But it at least completely catches character sheets back up.

SEPTEMBER


The post foamfighting event week had left me dead. As of now I think I'm pretty good and I offer my apologies for the laggyness in character processing right now.

CHARACTER PROCESSING


My apologies for the long lag in character processing that happened. Life ended up just a touch out of hand and I had to beat it back into submission.

CHARACTER PROCESSING

I'm so sorry Kaz... I'm just out of juice at this point. I will get to Valiant over the weekend, I swear. I just have to eat and work yet today, so I'm not pushing anymore. She's already overdue, so she'll get worked over first regardless of what else rolls in between not and then.

BANS MANAGEMENT

  • PSA #18
    • ShadowClan is no longer eligible for the program.
  • Comment
A full review of the bans is really needed. I should get time to take care of it in the next week or so.

Took me longer than I thought it would. Yesterday turned out to be really really crazy.

CHARACTER PROCESSING

  • Approvals
    • Comment About Pending Characters - In the next week I will be going through the pending character list and anything that isn't making progress will be going. If you need to you should just drop me a line and let me know that it needs to be moved to userspace instead of the character domain. Warnings will be going out soon! And it should be noted that pretty much everything left in the pending list is old enough that I'll be deleting it, so if you have something outstanding you should either talk to me about moving it to a sub-page of the userpage or be prepared to kiss the pending character goodbye. (The litter of pending kits are exempt... Technically those should be another list, but I've not done the modification to the listing scripts. The general character and eased adoption lists are the ones being hit with this attack.)
    • Approved Kazul's PC Valiant.

Might be back for something else update-wise, but we shall see... I'm gonna be with family so I have no idea whatsoever.


CHARACTER PROCESSING

Since school will be out of hand this week, going to call this it for the moment. Far too much stuff to get done.


RANDOMNESS

There have been a number of smallish updates that I won't be detailing over the last few days. I'll mention a few larger things that were previous to this post, but aside from those there have been a number of minor updates that are unmentioned.

CHARACTER PROCESSING

PLAYER RELATIONS

There. Caught up on a number of things now. Just have a handful of stuff that's less pressing to attempt to get to over this weekend. Go me.

CHARACTER PROCESSING


Remember to cut me slack today, since I'm doing this from school. Don't expect a ton to get done. Instead enjoy the fact that I'm using some of my lunch-time to get caught up.

CHARACTER PROCESSING

Theory says I should do more than this, but I'm lazy today and my head's bothering me. Additional updates might roll in over the course of the day. We'll see. I do have to work, so possibly not. Can't tell yet.


I'm sure it's been noticed that I've been doing assorted information updates, but I'm going to provide a breif mention of the various projects I'm working on at the moment information-wise:

  • Clan Events Timelines (Currently ThunderClan's is on my Work page off my Userpage)
  • Cats of Camelot Ceremonies

I'll be continuing to proceed with these (and possibly other) projects through the next 12 hours. And, on to regular day-to-day stuff...

CHARACTER PROCESSING


I decided to do the character processing early today, because... Well... No specific reason... I just decided to. Mainly because it frees me up to work on various files through the course of the day as I please.

CHARACTER PROCESSING

If I do anything major, I'll pop back and edit this post.


CHARACTER PROCESSING

Once again, I'll spend the day working on assorted game information if I feel like doing CoSC stuff, or additional graphics and the like. If you have suggestions for things I should get on, drop 'em my way. If you want to see what I'm doing, visit recent changes and look for my name.


CHARACTER PROCESSING

The same-ol' same-ol' with the working on this and that around the site for the rest of the day. I'm feeling bleh and intend to get some rest, though.


CHARACTER PROCESSING


Wowie did September blow by fast.

OCTOBER


As you all should be aware by now, the new moon - Tiger's Wrath - has started. You should be shifting gears and getting the RP from last moon polished up and finished.

CHARACTER PROCESSING


CHARACTER PROCESSING

We'll see if I accomplish anything else today. There's just no telling.


I apologize for the somewhat random lull in my work here. I had midterms and projects due and stuff like that for my classes (being a college student is sort of a bitch sometimes). Things should be a touch quieter in the next week, so I should be back on a more consistent update schedule.

CHARACTER PROCESSING


Yes. I have been slacking. But I got sick and college classes never really slow down. I am working to keep up, and if there's anything really pressing you've got for me, just drop me a PM and let me know and I'll do everything in my power to expedite it.

GENETICS DEPARTMENT

This is the Fogdancer Family Tree, in preparation for the potential approval of a litter. One which will probobly result in that tree being stuffed into Marshhawk's.

CHARACTER PROCESSING

  • Approvals
    • Declined Ash's PC Sootfur (on a fairly minor item. I expect to be approving this next time I see it)
For the record: I skipped Cordon because I'm in a bit of a time crunch this AM. As he's an NPC and not particularaly pressing to the game outside of line-tracking, not really a big deal. He should get processed when next I sit down to do it. Possibly later tonight.

EDIT: Back. Just back from school. I realized that I noticed that I didn't attend to a detail of Sootfur's approval.

PSA #18

  • Arrangements
  • Clan Status
    • ThunderClan already under the policy, slots counted (4)
    • WindClan added to the Policy (2 Slots)
    • RiverClan added to the Policy (3 Slots)
    • ShadowClan added to the Policy (3 Slots)
This sudden initiative is intended to clear up a pack of excess adoptables that there is little interest in. This is also the result of the influx that RiverClan got. It does, however, mean that all four clans are opened, and as we bleed out adoptables we'll increase clan activity on all fronts. It's a good thing, honest. If they're not played they're worthless.

Ah, the joys of college life. I've been busy and the processing of characters has been far too lax. I apologize for the lag. Specifically for the new people, who have nothing to do in the meantime.

CHARACTER PROCESSING


Ah, a day all to myself. No classes, no work. A perfect opportunity to deal with CoSC stuff that's overdue. Specially since I cleaned up my desk and nice and pretty. You would not believe the pile of clutter I'd acquired. Unless you're Force and you saw it for yourself.

CHARACTER PROCESSING

I'll be doing family trees and pixels today, don't know how many, but I hope to get a decent number of both done.

DEPARTMENTS


Decided that, despite having work and school today, I would do a little bit of working on CoSC stuff so that I can claim to have had a productive week already. Did cherry-pick what I did in an effort to be lazy despite this.

DEPARTMENTS


My schedule for work has been all over the board this week, and I apologize for the lagging of things that are time/focus intensive like character processing. I don't know how many characters I'll get through in this session, but we shall see.

CHARACTER PROCESSING

Wowie. Took less time than I believed. I got through everything that was floating in my inbox for characters. This weekend I might acctually get useful things done ;) But we shall see. Maybe I'll finish the mammal prey entries or something. Or at least compile the ones that are done into the hunting techniques file.

People wanting tasks to do to help the game: I have LOTS of research work that's needed for various guide entries. I can assign entries for those interested, you just have to let me know that you wish to do one...

Maybe I'll make a list of desired entries soon and organize the projects properly for people to give me a hand much more efficiently. Anyone interested?


I've been working on things on and off all day on a variety of things. The most important of those things are listed here, but I have been playing in game information. See Recent Changes if you want to poke other changes I've made that aren't mentioned here.

PLAYER RELATIONS

CHARACTERS

  • Confiscations
    • Theophrastus (Yesterday - Includes recovery period for Heather)
    • Gypsy (No recovery period - Player has not logged in in the last year)
    • Pheonix (No recovery period - Player has not logged in in the last year)

I'll continue fiddling with game information if I get time amoungst my moving around of furniture and organizing in the house.


Yay character processing stuff.

CHARACTER PROCESSING


I might get more done, but since I'm not feeling very well I'm gonna take a bit of a break and see where things are and decide if I'll do more tonight a bit later on.

CHARACTERS


I apologize for not getting to these characters PRIOR to my little trip. I also have a handful of assorted other things to get to, but with luck that will happen without too much of a problem.

NOVEMBER


Another month has rolled through. Hard to believe how quickly this year is progressing.

The Pre-gathering Clan meetings should be trickled in over the next week. Once all 4 are posted, I'll make an announcement and then it'll be a week before the activity check period closes. Remember that EVERY character you have in a clan must be posted with or it'll be confiscated and you'd better have a good reason. If you have any questions, concerns, or the like about the Activity Check Process, just drop me a line.

GAME RULES: Vox Populi - The rules are now LIVE.

CHARACTERS

GENEALOGY DEPARTMENT


Geeze... Monday and Tuesday were rough. Busy busy. But now I have some time in which I can do things like acctually process characters.

CHARACTERS

I will do some family trees a bit later today... But I must get some food and take some care of my dogs.

Instead of working on family trees I went through the list of unused files and cleaned out a bunch of files we didn't need, and made sure that files that should be kept but show up on the unused list get put on a page just to ensure they're not accidentally deleted.

If I got any files that you need during my work just drop me a line and it's cake to undo.


Kitsu's not feeling very well today, so we'll see if she gets caught up like she wants to.

CHARACTERS

Nope. Kitsu wants to lay back down. And now that she's back, she'll do a family tree.

GENEALOGY DEPARTMENT


With luck today will be the day I clear the character inbox...

CHARACTERS

All that's left are NPCs, which are low priority, so they're going to wait until I kick this crap I have completely. I might work on other stuff later, like family trees or various other projects I constantly have on my plate, but we shall see.


I have been so slack on updates, but I've been attempting things with the core-code that seem to reject working properly. I've also been doing insignificant things that didn't seem worth a post. It's been a very busy week as I attempt to get ready for reviews for my studio classes.

CHARACTER PROCESSING


I apologize for my slack-ness. School's been a touch overwhelming as the end of semester looms. Taking 4 studio courses at once makes for a crazy end of semester. Please note that I did do part of this yesterday, and have noted them as appropriate.

CHARACTER PROCESSING

SOFTWARE

  • Spam Control
    • As we've had some new bots show up that are acctually editing pages without permission, I've taken the time to install a new bit of software that should eliminate that. Bots smart enough to make accounts are the hardest to control.
  • Namespace Alternate Titles (For the uninformed, Namespaces are the 'word:' part of page names setup like WORD:PAGENAME. In Character:Bloodstar 'Character' is the namespace. Will be laid out in 'Old namespace' -> Additional namespace(s). If you have suggestions for alternate namespaces that should be added, just PM me with them.
    • 'User' -> Player
    • 'Rules' -> Rule
    • 'Character' -> Char
    • 'Genealogy' -> Tree, Family
    • 'Herbs' -> Herb
    • 'Genetics' -> Gene
    • 'Plot' -> Plots
    • 'Predators' -> Predator, Pred
    • 'History' -> Hist
    • 'Symptom' -> Symptoms
    • 'Complaint' -> Complaints

First off, Apologies for the wait. I'm mainly doing some work today to get the player character whose been stuck waiting through the first round. I might get more time tonight, but I can't swear to it. I /will/ get to everything that's left tomorrow, though.

CHARACTER PROCESSING

Also on my agenda: A full review of all the bans list. It's once again overdue. I really need to improve how up to date I keep on that. And I must start writing weather and prepping for the start of the thawing of our forest.


CHARACTER PROCESSING

TEMPLATE UPDATES

  • {{Player}}
    • Tweaked it so that giving no answer to age and gender takes the fields out.

Maybe more tonight, but some tomorrow, I bet.


CHARACTER PROCESSING

I should end up working on {{Character}} some today yet, but I have to make sure that I get other things done, first. Characters are processed, though. Which is for the good. And I have to go shopping
