Hello again, everybody.
It’s been a while since I’ve addressed you all but not to worry. I’ve been checking the site on a daily basis and working with the administrative team. We’ve been developing the new changes to the site that I had announced beforehand.
First off, we’re going to do a test run of a stat system we’ve made for roleplaying outside of Jump City (more of that in a bit). If you want to go into the expanded universe, you will be using statistics when you fight. I know numbers seem scary sometimes, but stats will help us keep combat disputes to a minimum and might actually inject a sense of competition into the site that I think might promote activity. As I said, this is a test run, and as such, it is subject to change for the better of the site, whether that means keeping it, workshopping it, or discarding it.
Mega has come up with a story that I think will help to roll these new stats in. A recent meteor shower has littered the earth with debris carrying a unique, never-before-seen energy signature. These minerals are incredibly resourceful, able to be used as impressive power sources, and improving most technology. Some even make a person’s abilities more powerful as well.
This is a work in progress, everyone, so at the very least I’ll ask any persons uncomfortable with this change to give it a chance and try it out before any complaints are formed about it. I wholeheartedly believe that this will help the site’s activity by promoting friendly competition among members of the site.
I'll make another announcement soon.
Sincerely, Kyte
