War Role-play and Scenes (Yes, Again.)
- Excessive armor stands causes lag, and is not allowed.
- Leaving war scenes, damage, and mess around for a long period of time (they can remain for a week maximum).
- Note that “War Scenes” includes battle simulations, missiles, and police/SWAT Forces in cities.
- Frequent edits to wiki. Do edits one-at-a-time, not as a running commentary of the war.
- Use project chats for any type of war chatter to free up the main channel for those who are not interested in such role plays.
- Tidy up after yourself
- Be courteous to other players by not forcing them to take a side or be included in the “fight”.
- Keep it civil, and remember: It’s just a game.
Remember, we announced at the last GSM that when it comes to evaluating towns for promotions, staff are in agreement that war scenes detract from the overall ambiance of the town. Therefore, when submitting your town for evaluation, it would be in your best interest to remove such scenes to have the highest chance of being approved for promotion.
General Issues with Towns and Roads
There has been some issues popping up with members and how they are building towns, so we remind you all to:
- If you are building a B-Road, you will still need a staff email approval if it is longer than 500 blocks even though it connects to an A-Road. If it is less than 200-300 blocks and/or connects to an A-roads, you do not need our approval.
- Respect the 300 blocks rules while establishing your town. If it is less than 300 blocks, ask the mayor of the town for permission to build close to their towns. If the town mayor or deputy mayor is inactive, then do not break this rule whatsoever.
- Do not connect or modify an inactive town period, even if it’s to run an B-Road through it.
- If doing an modification to an MRT rail route that requires major changes with elevation, visual, or alignment; always ask staff first. Do not go ahead and do it even if it is in your town.
- Any warps that act like transportation must have physical connections at all costs(Roads to link buses and taxis, water to link ferries, runways to link airplanes).
Roads
A bit of change to the A-Road process. For all proposals, Staff will move towards proposing shorter A-road segments rather than entire roads. This will ensure that roads are getting completed and on-time. What this means is that you can propose a longer road for planning purposes, and the staff will then break it up in segments where you must complete the road first, contact us via email to inform us that you have completed the segment, and get approval to continue to the next. This will not require an GSM approval to proceed to the next segment. Staff also now reserves the right to instantly select a new player to take over an A-road project if sufficient progress hasn’t been made on an A-road after 3 months without any question asked.
Now, onto the New Routes that are announced:
- A1 Completion: Cortesi, Jphgolf4321, and Narnia17 will work together to complete this essential link to the North.
- A169 (however its routing number is pending approval) will link Lacelde to Lanark.
- A575 is approved, as per its very lengthy and impressive proposal. It will act as an alternative route of A5 to serve some Desert Line cities more directly.
