I want to know the candidates and their platforms. Which one is a conservative
on bricks and which one is a liberal on bricks?
Just kidding, a little left over seasonal jolly.
Hendo mentioned some improvements, if necessary or needed. Well, actually things
are running smoothly I think. The only concern is, of course, the fact that
several of the strong community members have been on hiatus. This weakens the
community and game play. Unavoidable? No. Needs to be fixed? No. Those community
members will return, or not return, in their due good time. Those who remain
active will have to do the best that they can.
I think that from this alone stems out any concerns about how things are
running. So, let's let that be for now.
I do have a question for Hendo: I have been contacted by another eager AFOLs who
want to get in on the game play of Starship. He says that he is having
difficulties in trying to get registered with Starship.
- What is their story? Do they not have a web site up and running yet? I can
affirm that they have 1 ship up on a brickshelf page -- nothing further at this
time. I believe that they might be under 18, but that is no problem as so too
are several other key community members. I think that there is something else
that I do not know about this and would like to be filled in. The person/s who
contacted me are using the title of Star Josh.
I am advocating for them as he is/they are eager for game play and will help the
community, but I do not know the full story or if he/they have even contacted
you yet. If you know nothing, then I will advise him/them further on how
registration works. Star Josh may be able to bring in other players, again I am
trying to find out more on this.
Well, I don't want to say anymore until I know more.
I vote Hendo '05.
What about Richard, is he still here? Missing him.

P.S. On a slightly related topic but totally unrelated topic, I have been asked
to join in on something called the Alpha Centauri project. Apparently, there is
a small group of space AFOLs who are trying to get a Brikwars-ish micro-cosmos
game play thing together based upon Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri computer game.
That game spun off some books and other stuff, and these guys saw it as a ripe
field for awesome brick building and action packed Brikwars. The concept is that
there are the original 7 factions from the game. They are asking me to cook up a
few additional factions in case some other AFOLs want in, like me. Anyway, each
player is responsible for building whatever they want according to whatever
design scheme that they want for the faction that they have chosen. Like, if a
player chose the Gaians, and they wanted a green organic looking design scheme,
then all of their vehicles, buildings, etc., would be in green and very organic
looking. Everyone can easily point to Admiral Giddens' UCS ships and say, hey,
that's a UCS ship; or hey, that's an 3vil ship or tank.
Same kind of concept except that it is all on the planet of Alpha Centauri as
described in the computer game. For additional factions, we may have to step out
into the Alpha Centauri system to have room for everyone and game play, but I
think this project will be limited to the Alpha Centauri system. I think FTL
drives (as that technology is not developed in the game) will not be allowed.
But that's ok as there is so much else going on.
So, comments, questions, want to join, etc?
-Avery (Thinking about claiming a faction and seriously getting in on this
project on the ground floor)
