Moderation Team Update - April 2016

[Tanngnjostr]

Seriously David, who wants to test unfinished stuff? And then anonymously get the player's blame if it's released and still doesn't work. No way!

[killertut]

i hate you two too.

I think it's more prestigious to be just a moderator. Being a beta tester and a moderator is so uncool. Agreed? :)

I promise you it's not. :)

Excellent! Welcome aboard Johanna

I modified the "Signature" contact template to include the CoC reference, and put it in a code tag to make it easier to copy/paste and capture the quote & link tags.
I also added an index to the first post of the Contact Templates to make them quicker to find.

I think it might be time to rethink/redesign the Standard Signature banner. It's 160 pixels tall (+ 20 pixel margin) now with 30 animals. We know there is at least one additional animal coming, and can only assume there will be more in the future. Add the allowable 2 lines of text and It's more than twice the size of any other allowable signature. Maybe take a cue from David's signatures & make it a summary banner that links to the players profile or lifetime stats??

Thanks for the em$. Now what to spend it on... <twiddling fingers like Monty Burns>

Be Well

Thanks for adjusting the template Tod! Yes, agreed about the widget but I don't have any idea how to change it. Remove one of the lines in each window and make icons smaller? They are already way too small. I'll think about it and talk to the artists.

@Danielle: All moderators are under the NDA as well, so there is no harm to discuss unreleased info in the mod forum. Three upcoming animals (that the beta testers know about ) are three different types of ptarmigan.

Maybe this presents a good opportunity to implement a link between forum accounts and user accounts.

*sigh* Maybe in the next life... I'll bring it up again.

Alena, i know that DaJa couldn't keep his mouth shut when he talked with us about the new ptarmigans...

willow ptarmigan for hemmeldal
rock ptamrigan for val-des-bois
white-tailed ptarmigan for a new, unreleased reserve

i assume you are working on a rocky mountains based reserve. and new animals for that reserve (maybe cougar or bighorn sheep), but time will tell

Rocky mountains would be awesome, though I'd really love to have another animal on BRR first. Have you already given up on that reserve? It has a certain beauty in its own, but it's wasted! And please get rid of that west/east population separation, it hasn't worked for Europe, it doesn't work for BRR!

Hmmm, is that seven species on VdB?

[killertut]

well the ptarmigan will be up in the mountains with the ibex. so we have more to hunt up there.

I will take most of the blame so do not worry!
Anyway, keep up the good work with keeping the forum clean and as friendly as possible.
