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 am back from my hiatus, but at any time another problem can be thrown at me;
my life is ripe with problems currently, but I’ve been looking to the future and
have achieved my goals that I have set for myself, with the release and success
of my web design business and the growing popularity of my website, as well as
my grades in school climbing again. My family still has not overcome the death
of my grandmother, but we are pulling together again, so the future seems
brighter than it ever was for me.
While we do need to regroup and pull this back together, we must all realize
that life is life and we cannot stop what is happening at the present to many of
us. Life goes on for all, and others cannot stop to enjoy their hobby,
unfortunately. I wish everyone a good luck when obstacles pop up.
On your phrase about Richard, yes, I wonder where he has gone too. He was
another vital community member, one of the “Founding Fathers,” if you will.

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?

project on the ground floor)

I would join the game, but you mentioned it’s for AFOLs only. I’m turning 15 in
19 days, so I’m still shy 3 years of age. Too bad.
Anyway, it seems we’re getting a bit of activity back. We’re all popping our
heads out of the gopher holes, which is good. It’s good to see everyone coming
back, slowly but surely.
Now, I believe I need to go back to my Doom 3 gaming session.
ArrivederLa, i miei amici,
