No, I'm not gonna cancel it yet(I'm not that smart, I still have hope that something is gonna happen), but holding on to this churchofproz.com domain name seems to be getting more expensive year after year, and I figure I can save a couple bucks by changing it to a non .com name, like churchofproz.xyz . Just putting this out here in case the -1 people who still visit here have any ideas or would rather keep the dot com.]]>

Let's start discussing options for the next community jam! This time around, there's only one hard rule:
  • Optimized Performance - Runs smoothly, or at all on a lower end PC.
The rest are just suggestions, considered a plus but not a deal-breaker if the game lacks that feature:
  • Economic Accessibility - We're all big kids now, we can pay for games. Just not that new thing that came out last week that's still at full retail price of $60.
  • Flexible Player Count - It's actually more likely that we'll have less people than the required number so we won't have to deal with overflow, and we managed to do Reactive Drop with underpop just fine.
  • Skill Accessibility - Low skill floor is preferred if its a game none of us have ever tried before. Otherwise, just make sure the veterans among us can explain enough to first time players before jumping in.

Now watch as I ignore everything I just said with the following suggestions:

Fortnite - I'm prepared to embrace this mainstream cancer for the sake of the community, if you'll allow me.

Surviv.io - Yeah, I'm serious. It's circles and sticks, there's no way it won't run on your computer. It's got the standard Battle Royale player count flexibility: solos, duos, squad.

Realm Royale - Are you seeing a trend here? In this one there are no parachutes, you just smash the ground like a boss. Pseudo-RPG class system, gear forging, and mounts.]]>

In case you didn't already know, you can change the number of posts in a thread displayed per page in the User CP. Of course, this only applies when you're logged in. The default number is displayed to everyone, even if you're not logged in.
Right now it's set to 20, as per the developer's recommendation for people with slower connections. I'm considering changing the default posts per page to 50 as that's what it was set to in the old forum.
This will greatly cut down on the page count of most threads, especially those long RPG ones. What do you think, everyone?

BTW Poll closes in 2 days and if there's a tie I win.]]>

With that in mind, let's consciously choose our next big video game fad to get us all back into the metaphorical gigasaddle together. For the first time in, well, it's not the first time, the Administration is open to any suggestions, although we've developed some general principles to use as guidelines:

  • Flexible player count - to accommodate for when not everyone can be there. Alternatively the average 'match' time can be very short so that if there are excess players they can switch out/alternate.
  • Economic Accessibility - Should either be free, have a "free demo" Wink , or most of us already own it.
  • Optimized Performance - Runs smoothly, or at all on a low-end PC.

You don't actually have to keep these in mind all the time, just shout out some names and I'll probably research it myself.]]>
