[/i][/center]The board is undergoing quite a few changes of late, please bear with us and make sure to read the following information to keep up to date:
The Council of 80:We want to hear your suggestions! If you have any comments or suggestions on any aspect of the board or rp, please post them here: The Council of 80
Board Speed, the final decision:
As most have you might have seen, the Board Speed part 2 poll has been locked and theres a tie. It was a close race but the 1:1 and 2:1 ratios won out (equal to real time and faster then real time).
So what we've decided to do, is do both.
Heres the deal. Starting September 1st, the board will move ahead to the first day of Spring. From then on, the time on the board will pass equally to the time in real life. For 3 months we will continue this trend, by December 1st, if people find that they are finding issues in how time is passing, we will give the board 3 more months.
By March 1st, if we need another 3 months adjustment period, we'll be then proceed with the faster then real life board time no matter what. If though after the first 3 months things go well and people are satisfied that things are going well, we'll proceed with moving to faster then real time.
In 3 months there will be another poll posted so that players can vote so we can get some feed back, and we'll go from there.
Again... this won't be starting till September 1st, and this day will signal the beginning of Spring. Any comments, questions, concerns, feel free to send them to staff or post them in the Council of 80 board.
Thanks Everyone for Voting!
