I'll be headed to Australia starting on Friday until July 7th, so expect posting to slow down from me, though once I get the trip prep and actually trip out of the way, it should really speed up.

Thanks B4cchus. I know the approval of a 11th lvl and a 9th can be a little be harder then a 1st, so no problem for the delay.

So, nobody is saying that I can't go ahead and start my next adventure, so I'll asume that I can and go ahead with it.

Another question: I remember awhile back something about DM's needing to or could post a summary of their adventure and such somewhere ( a Wiki maybe? I don't remember for sure). Where is that supposed to be at so I can go do it for my adventure?

Phoenix:

Just keep in mind that Xir (and probably Ethic) have not been approved yet [I have one approval; the others are delayed as mentioned above]. Guess that means we're still 1st (or we don't gain XP: Rules here seem less concrete on that than over at LEB [or I just don't know where to find them]).

 

[Phoenix8008]

Stonegod: Which means I can wait a little bit still, or by my reading of "Unapproved characters will receive NO experience for adventuring before they are fully approved." within the Character thread, as long as I don't award any XP until after the PC's are approved, then they don't lose out on anything.

I would just hate for somebody else to drop an adventure and snag up you two (or everybody else available) and then have to wait even longer if I could have gotten things started sooner. Hence my questioning the right procedures here...

 

[Phoenix8008]

Well, I just searched back through this thread and saw that Bront went on an indefinate leave of abcense a while ago. Do I need to ask some other judge to finalize my 'Darque Demsne' adventure and award DM credits? Or wait and see if Bront happens to have the time eventually? I'm not in a major hurry for them or anything, just asking.

 

[Manzanita]

I hate to see adventures delayed due to distracted administrators. I would support seeing you start a new adventure and just not awarding XPs until the PCs are approved. I'm feeling pretty swamped myself, particularly when it comes to DMing & judging. I'm not keeping up with all my duties, either.

As for the DM credit. You get a DM credit for writing up an adventure summary, and posting it in your thread & on the Wiki once the adventure is through. That should be awarded by your judge.

 

[Phoenix8008]

Okay, so write an adventure summary and ppost it at the end of my adventure thread, then (somehow) enter the same summary into the Wiki (in the Recent History section which is here I believe?: http://bluwiki.com/go/Living_ENWorld:History). I'm guessing that if I click 'Edit' then it opens it up so I can add my adventure summary in? (Never messed with a Wiki before.)

So I'll give a shot getting it in the Wiki and posting my summary and a link to the Wiki summary at the end of the adventure thread and consider it done. By the time I finish that, I'll probably go ahead and start my next adventure (recruiting at least). By then they should be closer or done with character approvals and I can put off giving XP until they are all approved.

Thanks Manzanita.

Just a random Q: Now that EN2 has a wiki, any thoughts on the LEW wiki moving on site?

 

[Bront]

FYI, Tags are gone, but will be remade soon. I put in the LEW/LEB request for that earlier with Mike, but it won't happen for a while (The dude's tired).

And that's not a bad idea on the Wiki Stonegod
