New Change on the Horizon - Ander - 12-25-2008
As most of you already know, being involved with the discussion effort, and as the rest of you are already guessing, having heard of said discussion, both staff and members have combined their efforts at realizing a concept we introduced to you more than a year ago, infamously known as "The Turnover."
People have been asking what and people have been asking when. Now, we're ready to make it official.
On January 1st, exactly one week from today, we will be doing a complete overhaul of the current system, and be transferring to an all-custom RPG. This will affect everybody: no exceptions. Anyone who presently has a canon character will be given these seven days to wrap up their current storyline, after which they will be required to create a custom character in order to continue to participate in the In Character forums, and all that implies. We understand that this is a difficult thing to require, but we ask that you please bear with us.
The stat system will be completely altered, as we feel that the current system is ineffective and inefficient. Training points will be replaced with 'XP,' a simpler and less complicated system that has been carefully labored on for multiple years now. The accumulation of these points are calculated automatically and are earned purely through role-playing effort, instead of being granted on a weekly basis. This code will be accompanied by a simpler and more efficient way of updating training, and they will be beneficial for both staff and members. XP was a collaborated effort between many minds, and we're very proud that we can finally bring it to fruition. A large thanks also goes to Waffuru, who was the engineer behind implementing this code and completed the successful working version despite forum difficulties and personal hardships.
We have many more concepts that we are excited to introduce, and on January 1st, a complete list of rules and regulations will be presented explaining every last detail for all our new changes, which is everything from power-ups to zeni.
Thank you all for your continued participation on these forums, and your patience that allowed us the time to finish. We hope that you will continue to enjoy the role-playing aspect of Chubbs, and look forward to the interesting new characters you will create, and the amazing stories you will tell.
Merry Christmas.

I would also like to remind those of you involved in the development to please keep those discussions within the forum, as well as all of the information in those threads.
Any and all questions are to be answered by staff members only.

Are you going to detail what we need to post for our new character and where?
Thanks.

I pulled an all nighter last night. Kinda loopy. =P No logical thought happening right now.
Are we going to need to post a Roleplay Example?
New Change on the Horizon - Alura - 12-31-2008
Yes, we'll have information for you in regards to how to join/switch
New Change on the Horizon - Ander - 12-31-2008
Current members do not need to post a role-play sample. We're well aware of your ability to create one to minimum standard.

Exciting. =]

I need to know ASAP because I never got a chance to alter the stuff for my custom. Does the Vita Novum Saga count toward our histories?
New Change on the Horizon - Alura - 01-01-2009
It's up to you.
New Change on the Horizon - Juno - 01-01-2009
Quick question 'bout that, Burt. Since I'm assuming there's a lot to search to, do you remember what exactly happened to Zang?
New Change on the Horizon - Vad - 01-01-2009
Here is the link to the saga on Earth.

As most of you are probably aware, it's January 1st. At some point tonight, it will be party hour. Not much longer to go.
New Change on the Horizon - Juno - 01-02-2009
I wasn't aware it was Jan. 1st =]
New Change on the Horizon - Ander - 01-02-2009
Unless you go by British time, I guess. Rad and I both live in America on the west coast, so it's about 5:30 PM for us, January 1st.
