I was able to get me that physical CE for Dawntrail. WOOO!!!

It's supposed to not be 32F anymore. Where is my upper 40F/lower 50F weather? ; A ;

Friend finally was able to give me my present which was art of our OCs. They... beautiful ; A ;

I do say there is a small caveat to this, especially if the site is growing at a rapid pace. Don't spread yourself too thin with threads. But I do agree that it's still good to be active and trying to engage with newer people, even if you can't thread right away. It may be help some older members some oomph to help and try to plot with newer people as well. Especially if they see the admin(s) are making an effort.


Also, my only little what's on my mind: we're starting to do some beta-testing for our guidebook to make sure things make sense for our setting. I appreciate the one person that's been looking it over so far because while there's grammar mistakes and some things that may need to some minor rework, it's nice to have fresh eyes on something that hasn't been either touched in a few good months or it's something we haven't thought about. Anyone willing to help do that gets the biggest hugs and hearts from me. v u v <3~

What friends and I are working on are kind of close with some heavy-FF inspired areas/concepts (some areas a lot more high fantasy while others more steam punk). But it's still gonna be a while off before anything gets released tho. Definitely won't be FF canons unfortunately. But hey it's close? Ahaha. 



Also, for my own selfish wants, I once again would love to see a mabinogi-based rp after getting back into the game for a bit. Fighting and slice of life, yes please~

I'm no coder, but today has made me realize I am definitely going to need help with the auto FC list eventually when it's bigger priority because I almost wanted to throw my keyboard at a wall lol.

For some reason my brain went for adult-themed to be some weird ass corporate ladder type hellscape loosely based off the Dante's nine circles.

.... Actually that isn't a bad idea

Me: I should finally put the IC up for our board.

Also me: 'Collecting eggs in this game is my calling.'

I finally caught up with work! \ o /

Reading through the thread so far on what's going on with the re:skin discussion, I do agree with porsef that there really isn't a lot of coding resources for RPers. While CTTW was up and had some resources along with another one (I can't remember the name lmao), there was some that we could at least try to look back at... But for someone either learning to code for jcink or just getting their feet wet on what Jcink can do, it is going to be daunting. And to be honest, while I prefer forum RP over discord RP, I can understand why people lean more into discord - there's a lot less 'barrier-to-entry' on having to set up.

As a small aside, we are commissioning a custom for a site we are opening up, but that's because it's a passion project between three of us with love and we think it is worth it. But man, if I knew how to skin (and skin well for that matter), I'd try to do it. :c

Dad had to get two more stints put in. I barely am working on the 3 (now 5 hours of sleep) from the past two days. 

Brain tired. 

Brain just go brrr...

Wait, there is? Holy moly! I'd love to know what that is. 

Also, for my own RP thought: either I'm too tired right now from life or what, but my brain wanting to RP has been minimal for a good few weeks. Granted, definitely taking a break from any big RP regardless of where it is outside of a few 1-on-1 discord RPs but that's... it. Thankfully I have the next few days off so that will probably help re-charge the battery.

Honestly, that's how it should be most of the time regardless. We're all here to enjoy a hobby instead of trying to be the gatekeeper on what people can and can't do. That's why guidelines/rules exist to give a baseline and you don't want to come off as ruling with an iron fist. (Trust me, I have experience as a member with staff that acted like it and god...never again.)

Outside of certain things like updating claims, archiving threads, site plot, etc, most of the time staff should be like any other member.
