State of the Goonion - Admin Activity

And we're back, with another episode of THE GOONSTATION SHOW! This month, we have some exciting new contestants:

Azungar, and the marvellous Manta
The luckiest of you have perhaps managed to get a chance to test out (and break) the NSS Manta: a new underwater submarine map, with unique features that are going to be very fun to play with. But, for those who who haven't, just hang tight. It's going to come out eventually™. In the meantime, you might have noticed a new dock on Centcom. Also, here's some images to tide y'all over:

The RP Server, and player feedback
Recently, we got word that the RP server was feeling a bit distraught. So, we've done some discussion and we've come up with some stuff. You might've noticed we did a recent update of the RP rules. First off, Flourish has posted a wonderful survey to gauge some of the current problems. After that, we're going to take the feedback and incorporate it into our plans, and most likely put out a general state of RP message.

Warcrimes, and the upcoming AssJam13 coding bonanza
Noted imbecile John Warcrimes has set a radical event in motion: a buck-wild crazy coding event on the 13th of this month. The craziest submissions will be merged, and the server will groan from the load! It's bound to be a totally tubular time, so hop by and enjoy some absolute mayhem!

Coders, and recent changes to the code
  • MBC has been back at it again with a rework to the vampire antagonist, changing abilities, gameplay, and a ton more!
  • Gannets (as well as Urs & schwicky_schwag) worked on a crazy fun turret for nuclear operatives to use if they pick the Engineer class, along with adding the Firebrand class.
  • ZeWaka has been futzing around, and ended up reading an actual scientific paper to cut down on lighting lag!
  • Kyle changed Space GPS units, in that they act more like a pinpointer now, to easier find specific coordinates.
  • Somepotato added a fun new feature for AIs, a viewport that allows them to watch areas remotely.
  • Warcrimes, Cogwerks, and HydroFloric created an absolutely crazy adventure zone that changed over time!

The Players, and our monthly contest
Our first monthly contest was an absolute blast! There were so many submissions, and lots of laughs were had. So now, we have our second contest. This time, we're asking for a small feature suggestion. Always wanted a small thing, but don't have the coding prowess to get it done? Come on by, and submit it as long as you follow contest rules. Remember, the 1st place winner gets an amazing gannets sticker mailed to them!

Bombini, and the recent owl fiasco
A terrible tragedy happened recently. Bombini, the wonderful bee trader, went missing! Something to do with some crazy owls, and their secret hideout. However, thanks to a few brave heroes, Bombini was brought back safely to the diner. Now, she's set up shop in a brand-new pod. Thanks to everyone who participated in this crazy saga.

In the past, it's been a semi-monthly thing. Normally, we just decide to write one whenever it feels like there hasn't been one in a while. It could be made into a monthly thing, for sure.
