Well, sometimes you just gotta flow with the zeitgeist. (ooo look a word for you go google up) A few weeks ago I instituted a ban on the Emerald Life Viewer due to its inherent radar functionality and features that heavily support meta-gaming and poor role play. I instituted this ban because Melanie insisted that it was disruptive to true RP and I tend to agree many of the features of the client simply make it too easy for people to know exactly where other people are and it does foster and encourage extremely poor role play practices in regards to immersion. But, unfortunately, with that said, so many other viewers are coming out with similar functionality, and even a Linden RC has it, that largely, its just going to be impossible to police. Asking our staff to police it is akin to asking them to police what kind of underwear people are wearing. So heres a few new suggestions in regards to these viewers: Emerald Life, and any 3rd Party Viewer with the same functionality is now legal for use in CCS, individual sims may choose to continue to ban their use but they are not, in total, CCS banned. Sims that choose to continue to leave the Emerald viewer banned in their sims may do so at their discretion but may not use the CCS system to punish users of the clients, they may land ban as needed, but, the CCS system may not be used as a way to discipline people using these viewers. And lastly for those using the viewers, I personally hope that you would chose a viewer based on out right performance capabilities rather than tools that allow you to metagame others, but, that is only my opinion and from here I will no longer attempt to get people to follow along with my logic by edict. So use them if you wish, I just hope you don't use them the wrong way. |

So after much hemming and hawing on my part I have taken the time to create the Ten Commandments of Enhanced weapon usage and creation. Hopefully this will help the community and the community 3rd party developers understand a bit more clearly what is expected of development and weapon usage within CCS. The enhanced weapon topic has become an area of major debate and not without good reason, so thusly, I have addressed it as best I can under the current API module version. We are looking to get a 3rd Developers Round Table meeting together soon, in regards to discussion and debate of feature additions, system restrictions and back end governor applications which will keep the API from being mistakenly mismanaged. For those of you that have an opinion and thats pretty much all of you, you can Discuss this Article in the Following Thread. Thanks everyone, hope this helps somewhat, or, its at least worth a chuckle. |

Just as a heads up we're still in the process of finalizing the CCS 1.0 release, but Melanie took a holiday and had a bit of a problem while on it and lost her handbag with all her papers and identification and keys in it while doing so. So thusly the stuff I've been waiting on from her is on hold til she takes care of the more important RL stuff. I'll be doing some balance adjustments next week, effectively reducing Cripple's Stamina return by about 2/3rds, but letting it keep its stamina damage, also giving Angel Seraphim a new ability that should help them make up for the lack of Radshot and Lifetap....and a few tweaks and adjustments to the tank again to ensure its in line with everything else. That balance adjustment will be done probably Wednesday of next week, and a global respec will be issued with it to allow people to make adjustments as needed. Sorry for the delay, but some times real life happens. Have fun all :). |

No RP Lists - CCS Global Network Advisory |

As of today, June 9th, 2009, I am making a global call to remove all NO RP Lists from profiles in Second Life. There are several reasons for this. So I will elaborate. - You already know who you don't want to RP with, putting it in your profile is just passive aggressive bullshit thats trying to take a stab at someone you don't like somewhere where other people can see it.
- Several of the NO RP Lists that have been brought to by attention as of late have had massive violations of the Terms of Service of Second Life in them in regards to harassment, libel and disclosure.
- The level of drama and negativity they create and spread around is simply not acceptable within the CCS network.
So while I am personally loathe to tell ANYONE what they can say or do, this practice of passive aggressive attack must stop and it must stop now. You are welcome to not RP with whoever you feel does not meet your standards of role play, or someone who has pissed you off or even someone you just don't like cause you hate their shoes...thats your right. But the use of profile based NO RP lists serves no purpose other than negativity and disrespecting other players, groups and sims in the network. You are welcome to tell your friends or people you play with, why you won't RP with someone, or why you might prefer not to spend time in a particular network sim, but, the profile listed no RP lists must cease as they serve no good purpose within CCS except to broadcast negativity...they also put you in the position where you may be Abuse Reported and suspended from Second Life depending on the content of it. Lets move above this kind of petty behavior, let fools take care of themselves, because fools always will. Thank you, and I'm sorry to make a request of this nature. |

Hey all, just letting you know that I've added forum categories for some of the larger, more long term CCS communities that have been a part of our network now for a year to two years. Some of these communities have their own websites, some don't, all of them listed are multi-sim environments, or in a few cases single sim environments, and I think I've only listed about half the communities in CCS so if you want your community listed, please send me an IM or website PM and I'll set that up. Regardless its just to allow players of those communities to communicate with each other here, or bring up community based concerns here. Anyways, as always, have fun. |
