Welcome Evangeline: New Region in the Al Raqis/ Splintered Rock

By Joan VhargonAl Raqis

After speaking with Vooper on Sunday I have decided to add one of my rental sims to the AL Raqis and Splintered Rock rectangle.  To the East of Wadi Emet I have placed my sim Evangeline and created 5 large parcels, each holding 749 prims, that will be available for rent  to any Al Raqis or Splintered Rock resident. If you want a parcel, go over and buy it. Just stay in theme and the rest of the rules in your Evangeline parcel are yours to make..Oh yeah....and make sure you pay the rent.

OOC: UFS commander clarifies intergroup relations

Raconteur reports
AL RAQIS - The commander of UFS operations in Al Raqis has recently released the following statement.

Stardate: 110720
From: Commander Valerius Swansong, Chief of UF Starfleet Operations

I wanted to clarify a couple of things that have come to my attention recently. United Federation Starfleet (UFS) currently occupies the small outpost on Splintered Rock. UFS is NOT and NEVER HAS BEEN linked or affiliated with Starfleet Torchwood Command (STC).

OOC: Orion Notice!

From Arealius Barbosa

Two items:

1. One of our Swords is going to make a public announcement of joining into partnership sometime this week. Their Partnership ceremony will be done as Orions.

2. Intelligence is inticating there will be a combat roleplay in the Al Raqis/Splintered Rock Sim initiated by the UFS against Orions. Those wanting to participate in this combat roleplay contact Jo Massenberg or Ar Barbosa.

OOC: RP Notice for Players

It has been observed by Orion Operatives at UFS that Starfleet is now receiving attacks from people not in the Orion-Starfleet roleplay. It is very important that you wear your meter AND your group title when roleplaying with the UFS personnel or on their home sim. Otherwise you could be mis-identifed as a griefer. Small courtesy that results in avoiding big mistakes.

OOC: Rumor Backlog Cleared

By Allen Kerensky

It seems quite a few folks entered rumors starting about 5 seconds after I went on vacation last week *grin* I am back from my trip, and have approved all the pending rumors that seemed usable.

A few rumors were deleted from pendinglist, usually involving specific people's sexual preferences.
Remember, when entering rumors, please phrase them as if you had overheard people in the street talking about someone else.

Just saying "I did this" is not helpful, since no one would know who "I" was.
Enjoy!

By Allen Kerensky

You may have noticed a lack of "Scout Sunday" announcements over the past few weeks.

Scout Sundays have been postponed while Baroun Tardis has been fully consumed with new features and debugging on many new HTCS features and extensive core changes, due in the 1.06 release.
Kira/IISS news and HTCS classes will resume shortly, in support of the 1.06 launch.

OOC: Al Raqis Automatic Beacon, Fewer Bugs

By Allen Kerensky

I have improved the scripts in the beacon, for both Al Raqis and Zapedzki Shipyards automatic ship identification systems.

Reminder: Vessels over altitude 300 in Al Raqis region should use the automatic IFF beacon included in the notecard below, or run the risk of being misidentified as debris and fired upon by orbital or station anti-collision defenses.

OOC: Al Raqis Rumors, Minus Stupid Bug!

By Allen Kerensky
Al Raqis Group

For those of you who have given the spinning green crystal rumor system in Al Raqis a try, thank you!

You helped me find and shoot holes into a major annoying bug making the system unusable. So,I fixed it, and the rumor system seems MUCH more usable.While debugging, I took the opportunity to add many new features (and bugs most likely) on the server side for performance. I also reloaded the existing rumors =D

I have attached the instructions for the IC rumor system.

Please continue to help us test it!
 
Al Raqis In-Character Rumor System 2010


===========================

This sim uses a unique system to help you spread in-character (IC) tidbits without the rumor being linked to you, and giving you randomly wide distribution of interesting IC information.

These slowly spinning green crystal objects are scattered about the sim.

They represent information contacts, the average Joe who may or may not have heard something interesting, and is willing to share it with you.

They are non-player character, NPCs, "dummies", but can be included in roleplay when having to explain where you got information.

Their use is simple:

Touching the green crystal will bring up a dialog box, and you are asked if you would like to GET a rumor or create a NEW rumor.

GET:
Clicking this option will make the rumor contact whisper you a random rumor out of the database of rumors already entered.

Please do not madly click the object to get a lot of rumors at once, or you may find NONE of the rumor contacts will speak to you.

NEW:
This option will allow you to enter in a new rumor of your own.

You must enter in a rumor that you are certain you know IC; see our sim rules on Metagaming.

It should also be one that you don't mind anyone finding out.

Indeed, this is a great method to make sure people know about something without knowing who told... or to spread misinformation!

Another dialog box will come up, telling you when to start, and you will enter your rumor with the command: /600

NOTE: There will be a delay before the system accepts the rumor.

This is to give you time to type.

All incoming rumors are moderated by Sim Admin before entering the database to ensure they are not spam, and rumors expire automatically after 30 days after being posted.

All rumors record who placed them in case there are any questions, but that information is only available to Sim Admin.

Future Plans
---------------
Currently, the system assumes all rumors are at a level of "common knowledge".

Future enhancements will add five levels of how common the knowledge is, from Common Knowledge to Very Secret.

This will be enabled when the RP System comes online.

In-Sim Rumor System Originally Conceived and Designed by Disraeli Calderwood.
