Oh, you just stopped by to read the latest updates?
Very well, then. I have updated the FAQ to match the new rules and ETC. Instead of rewriting and editing the numbers of all of the inaccurate questions, I instead edited them to match the new rules and to redirect back to other questions. Rearranging the numbers would have been a pain and I already did it once, I'm lazy and didn't want to do it again...
I have also updated the getting started page again, and the rules page. I believe that I found all of the flaws and spelling errors so that everything is consistent. I have also edited certain power types and removed their +40 bonus and brought it back down to the original +20. Why did I raise it only to bring it back down again? Balance reasons is why...
The only thing left to do is to get some people playing again. I will wait until after the holidays and then re-invite the two members that were already on the site, and then advertise to try and get some more...
Hopefully with the end/start of the year, people will have a bit more time on their hands to post consistently and get the story going. For now, that is all of the site updates.
Thank you.

I rearranged the Hydra weapons and armor list so that it is now in numerical order based on item price, instead of the previous order that was based by weapon type. I think that the new item ordering system will make it a lot easier for new players to buy equipment with the cheaper items located at the top of the list.
I have also edited the Random crime system page to correct some small spelling errors. I will be correcting the weapons and armor stats throughout the week to help balance out all of the equipment.
Thank you.

Another small, yet important update. I have edited the getting started page and broke it down into two posts so that all of the bio and item storage code is located in one post, and all of the "getting started" steps are located in the above post. The goal is to try make and make it easier to read and follow. I also cut down on words to try and simplify things a bit.
Thank you.

All work and no play makes Ash a very... busy boy!
I've been working a lot, writing a lot, and coming up with a lot of crazy ideas. I had an idea for a grand prix race where the racers gain speed based on how the writer describes their actions. Whoever describes the race the best is the person who scores more points and takes the lead. I've been setting up the RP so it took up a bit of time. I pretty much knew how I wanted it so it is almost done. On top of that I am planning on writing at least twenty articles this month to try and get paid a little bit more. I've almost got ten done and it is only the 13th, so I have a lot of time to finish the other half by the end of the month.
Also, I have been trying to fix my dying graphics card problem on my laptop. Just when I thought it was a serious hardware problem and that I would just need to buy a new laptop, I found the solution! I undervolted my laptop to fix the overheating problem. When the graphics card works hard, it heats up. When it reaches a certain temp it crashes and gives me a BSOD error. Limit the amount of voltages the laptop gets and it cuts the temps in half! Without high temps it can't overheat. No more crashing!!! ^_-
So yeah, I've been busy. It was a good thing I shut the site down for a bit because my posts would have suffered for a little bit. Anyways, I'm starting to get a little bit of free time so I used it to update. I updated the battle rules one final time. From the looks of it I think it is now perfect... For now... I also added the Dooms day counter on the left side bar. See. *Points* <----
After reading this I probably should have put this in the blogs topic, but whatever. This is also an update about what I've been up to so it also belongs here (I'm the Admin, I can do these things).
The site will relaunch on January 8th 2012. That is a Sunday so we will pick up on a new day in RP time.
Everything will pick back up exactly where we left off as if we never stopped. Alright, this post is starting to get a bit long so I'll end it here. Check back often for more updates.
Thanks for reading!

Last night I have updated the site once more. This time I have added the Chainsaw weapon to the Megomart shopping center, as well as a five gallon gasoline canister. With five gallons of gasoline you can let your imagination run wild with all the things you can do with it. I have also updated the Bio page with how SP is set up to match the new system. Naida and Bernard's Bios have been updated to match the getting started set up.
The SP limit is now near your other total attack and defense points, and Sensitives will only have one SP counter to keep track of. To explain this in a simple way, instead of having a (20/20) counter for ice powers and a second (20/20) counter for wind powers, you will have a single (40/40) SP counter for both powers. Use up all 40 points and you won't be able to use any super powers anymore for the rest of the day.
The new system will make it a whole lot easier adding points and keeping track of how much SP you use because you will only have a single SP counter.

I have updated the weapons list for the Underground in club Exxel. The weapons are now in numerical order based on price. However, both the armor and equipment is still organized based on type. I have also updated the Power and weakness list and fixed some minor spelling and copy/paste errors.
The basic forums have been updated so that both guests and registered members can now view the entire forum. I had disabled it at one point so that only registered members could read what was going on in the city, but that restriction has now been removed. Check back in for any further updates.
Thank you.

A few updated have been made to the site. The restriction for using any skills not in your bio has been removed. This means that all skills in the list are open to all players. However if you use a skill you do not specialize in you will receive a -20 penalty to your roll. I have updated the skills page rules so that it now matches this change.
The long range "Gun only skills" has been slightly modified as "Long range only" to include Super powers.
Glory's Super hero picture has been updated since I lost the original one. I wanted to make some minor adjustments but that wasn't possible without the original image. The new Glory now has knee pads, a more Venetian style mask (which is what I wanted in the first place), and a slightly less complex design with her costume.
Check back soon for any further updates.
Thank you.

So our first update was made to even out the combat system. With the change to the D30 combat system, it was brought to my attention that the weapons damage was incorrect. I have gone through and made several of the weapons do more damage to make the combat slightly more realistic and to speed battles up a bit. I have lowered the stats with armor to keep battles moving along. The FMW (Full metal warrior) suites have also been modified to match the new change.
I have decided to change the Rocket launcher damage from 50 and raise it up to 80. The reason for this change is so that if a player rolls a critical hit it will do 110 damage and kill a human instantly, and will critically injure a Sensitive.
This now brings us to our next update. Critical hits: The combat system is now using critical hits. If a player rolls a perfect 30 in combat or a perfect 100 for chance rolls on the roll dice you will perform a critical hit/success. This will give you additional damage or bonus for rolling a perfect number. More details will be given soon in the rules page to explain the critical hit system. So far I'm not completely happy with critical fails so I will add more rules for that shortly.
Thank you.

I'm too lazy to switch accounts, so I'm posting with this one! Today I have updated the VBS serums Attack/defense bonus by changing it from +5 up to +10. I have also updated the battle rules for the Critical hit rolls. As I said in the previous post, Critical fails have still not been added. I will quickly explain why. If a player gets a Critical fail, they are already at a disadvantage because of their low roll, adding an additional handicap on to that seems a bit extreme to me. If there is an additional handicap, I think it should be something subtle so that the Epic failing player will not be completely crippled throughout the whole battle. I want to be fair and still give them some type of a fighting chance. When I find something to even it out, I will update the rules once more and add the Critical failing rules.
Anyways... I have also updated the Getting started page to fix some minor errors that I stumbled across. I find it to be slightly easier to read. That is all for today.
Here is a list of all the major changes that I have made to the site. At the Megomart I changed the header to "Clothing and Outdoor gear" to include the new updates. I Added a Compound bow for players that want to be like Green arrow or Hawkeye (one of my favorites), because this is outdoor hunting gear it is not sold at Hydra or the Underground. I added the camo suit and combined it with the Wet suit, and edited the stats slightly. This is for a basic type of defense outside of Hydra/the Underground Black market. I also lowered the swimwear stats slightly.
I also changed certain stats to melee weapons and made them a bit stronger as a better alternative to range weapons.
I Updated some of the pictures in the Megomart because some were missing. I Added Advanced SP booster to refill SP to full since the SP max has now increased to 50. I have added Armor piercing bullets to both Hydra and the Underground. I Updated the Human VS sensitive page. I Updated Disable weapon type 2. I Update food supplies so that the better quality ones can only be used with the cooking skill, and the cheapest one is now instant cook/easy to cook meals. I fixed the life drain super power. I updated the Combat mastery Super power. I Updated the powered weapon Super power. I Updated Healing touch to make it stronger. I Updated Lucky/Jynx to include life skills. I Updated Mind wipe to work as a skill removal ability like the Hydra corp service.
I Fixed certain descriptions for certain super powers to explain them a bit better. And I Updated the VBS healing serum to heal all status effects such as Poison and other status effects. The last one was very important because there was no other way to cure status effects before. And the last change I made was to the Medikits. I slightly changed the amount of health they restore.
Thank you.
