Novelty's Novelties

Novelty, from the Old French word Novelt, meaning new.

Today has been a rather busy day CCG Workshop wise. It's almost good to be back into the thick of things.

I updated the BOT with a number of new answers. There are still lots of weird questions being asked, like how to bake a cake, but otherwise everything's good. Nobody is using the BOT much, but when they do, it's more likely about VTES these days and I just wish it'd be out and over with ASAP really.

I uploaded the B5 foolball/influence image to the wrong directory yesterday, which resulted in a diaplay defect, although I'm glad the engine is stable enough these days to handle that without batting an eyelid (if it had eyes and eyelid). Had to upload it today to make sure things go better and I'm gonna PM Bruce to tell him that I've updated the Vorlon cards on the engine as well.

I also fixed and uploaded a new version of WS to fix a compatibility issue with the new build of the engine. I wonder why that isn't in there in the first place, but since the engine never required it, I guess it didn't matter until now. Anyways, it's in so hopefully things will be OK. I need to check the new version of the engine with other compatibility issues as well.

For the eagle eyed out there, I've updated sidebar links to include gToon on Cartoon Network. I didn't play today, but my rank has gone to under 3000, out of 800,000. The total number of players was 140,000 last weekend, and before anyone thinks there's been a huge influx of players, it probably isn't that. Signup is free and you get free stuff including your chance to win an ultra rare slam, so any clever person would be doing multiple signups until they get a slam. It's abusing the system I believe, yet I would fault Orbit for making it that way. Urgh. I wish I had the time to do that but I don't, so I'll have to suffer.

Was suppose to update MND with the new background and the Elder's Legacy Promo today, but real life is gonna intervene. I might do it later tonight if I have the time. I'm going to revert to a nice lighted green background for Weave and it'll probably include the weave portrait that I've been using to make all my custom Weave cards. I'll see how much time I have.

LotR Online is gearing up for league play. They've got special incentive for leagues including league only "expandable" cards. I don't really understand how those will work, but if you get enough points and the right cards, you can have a super duper card for league. Sounds interesting I guess. I'll have to see what's happening.

Development wise things seem quiet around CCG Workshop. It figures that when I finally start coding games, other people will be doing other things. nipa is waiting for Duel of Ages to be sent to him and Martin is busy on getting VTES ready for beta/public though. Bruce seems to be busy with tweaking Rage, but otherwise things are quiet. There hasn't been anything to be excited about for a long time now, I guess.
