Look, I don't really know how to say this, but...
This site's admin, Overlord Omega, has given up on this site.
He told me IRL, that he was giving up. His computer isn't High-Spec enough to handle what he's doing, and it keeps crashing and losing ALL of his data.
He's fed up with working hard at something pointless, and has given up.
I asked him if I could have his password for his admin account, he said yes, since he's given up.
I think we might still be able to salvage this site, if we come up with a battle system that works on forums, try to be more active, and have everyone work together! Except Omega, because he's given up.
By the way, Omega has given up.

OK, so I think the site is going to need some... revamping.
Then we just have to come up with a battle system (because that's the hard part).
I think first of all we need a main admin. One who does not play (else the RP might be influenced).
And then there's the matter of having moderators: the site froze for long due to one man's absence. I think this fatal flaw must be corrected.

I say for mods, we could use the leaders from each country mayhaps anyways. Though I do wonder who should be our admin, it should be someone just and fair...so I'm out of the question already.  |

Well that does indeed suck, like an industrial strength vacuum cleaner. That said I for one have no intension on giving up on this site, and I don’t think rest of us do either.
As for admins and mods... Well Jonathan, has already has the admin account anyway so I nominate him, unless someone else volunteers.
We should also have some mods to look over character registry. I believe I’ve already nominated
Wax for such a roll, so we’ll need someone else who has a good sense of balance as well.
We’ll properly need modes for the rollplay and combat sections as well. So well be looking at...
Site Admin:
Character Registry Moderators: well need two guys for this.
Rollpaling Moderators:
Combat Moderators: Again we might need two, three guys for this.
This is just first look at what well need, we might require more or less later.
And I’ll be willing help where I can as well. We are going to make this site last. It’s not Called Eternal War for nothing.

I think I'd be good to go for registry moderating.
However, roleplaying moderators need to exist to avoid any instance of god moding. I pointed out one on TV Tropes that would make any good RP site admin mad.
And then... to need combat moderators, we need a combat system. But I think the combat mods will help have one.

Well dah, we need a combat system before we can have mods for it. But thinking about who would be good mods while it’s being developed will save a lot of time once it’s in place.
Not that it’s something we should be focusing on. Building the system should definitely come first.

I recommend our skilled theory-masters, Wax, Shadow and Keitaro, to be given the ability to approve characters.
I also think I need someone to help me change my character. Since we aren't using custom units(I think.), I should change my character to be less custom-dependent.
Also, it wouldn't matter if mods play the game as well as control it, provided there are enough of them, they work together, agree to play fair, and don't mod their own battles.
If we all work together, we can still save this site!

It's funny, how even after so long of not hearing a peep from Omega, and then suddenly hearing that he's leaving *I wouldn't say for good unless he never intends to get a better computer* We all band together to keep everything running Smoothly... errr... Well, as smooth as this bandwagon can get. Anyways, that rant aside...  I'll Support how I can, but personally, not as a mod. *Did once on a Destiny of the Three Kingdoms Forum... that was one headache I want to forget.* The combat shouldn't be too overly difficult, unless you plan on building every aspect of the rules of combat from the ground up, and in that case... Yeah, I'd say it would be difficult to accomplish. |

Flash is on the good line. I'll be more active if necessary, ie if everyone gets more active. Nothing gets me more bored than seeing nothing new. The combat thing would be very hard to handle if we try to do like in the games. I have an easier way, which consist on using a map editor to do all that. But it's once again a big piece of work, one I'm too lazy to do myself. So far I'm ready to be given the right to approve characters, but if several of us have the right to do so, it would require a vote system, because it is better if a majority of the registry mods agree, and it's not like it's so difficult when it only requires two votes out of three guys. Flash: If you need help, you could create a topic for it. I'd be happy to help you once it's ready. |

As long as the combat system can be worked on by someone else, I'll be all too happy to take the responsibility of kicking all the unworthy COs to the junkyard, and give my seal of approval to all those who make it through my strict criteria.
Though Keitaro is right on that one thing: if one single mod can approve COs, one broken CO and one easy-going mod approval later, shit's down. The two-vote approval is a good idea.
And, Flash, if you need any advice, you may ask me.

It's great that the forum is back up, unfortunately I don't have the time for forums any-more. I just got my job back, and that'll take away most of my free time.
I like the idea of having all the mods vote on character approval. Omega wasn't exaxtly the best at Advance Wars theory.
So, I'm leaving, you guys can NPC my character, adopt him, or write him out of the story. I'm ok with any of them, since I'm never coming back.
Goodbye forever!

Bye.
Anyway, on to important things:
I renamed the account, and made a few members "Moderators". They can also make other people moderators, so go annoy them with your dreams of becoming a mod.

Good luck on the new job though. Yeah, I noticed that. Weird question, I can understand why Wax and CYBERUS are mods, but why am I one? Don’t misunderstand, I’ll accept the task, I just want to know what you expect out of me. |
