New Line:

This is a permanent upgrade to your base stats, and affects you at all times. If you have any alternate forms or powered-up forms, these also get a stat increase at the same time as the purchase at no extra cost, and this stat increase may be different from your base form. In a similar vein, if you have any power-ups, you may move one of each of their stats around at the same time at no extra cost.

From this point on, any use of 'zalgo' text or anything else that crams words or symbols or anything like that is not accepted in IC forums unless wrapped in quote tags. While it's a cute little stylistic thing, it heavily screws with the OM calculation.

Use of this without quote tags will result in edited posts, OM deductions, and a reprimand. Seriously.

Sasuke Uchiha/Ms. Marvel has been removed from the staff.

Lubbock/Ruby Rose has been added to the team as a Sprite, and one other member also has a Sprite-offer pending in their PM inbox.

Furthermore, Yu Kanda has been promoted to a Cherub as recognition for his excellent work as a Sprite.

Congratulations to the both of you.

[Proto Man]

We'd also like to welcome Gamzee Makara to Sprite-hood.

Working beneath Yu Kanda, their Team Leader, we hope our new Sprites will help our community operate as efficiently as it can.

Are you interested in joining the team? While we aren't public with openings, we do accept 'application/interest forms' at all times. I believe that there's a separate thread where Omni put in a questionnaire. I just ask that you do me a favor and 'CC' on any PMs.

There is now a cooldown of six weeks between switching characters. This applies to you as a player, this is not "per account." This is to cut down on the trigger-happy switchers and making more approval work. Be sure before you switch!

[Proto Man]

Pale Moors information thread has been brought up-to-date with recent developments in-verse

http://omniverse-rpg.com/viewtopic.php?f...p=165#p165

[Proto Man]

If you are apply for Recognition, please make an independent Help Desk thread. As part of this, list all the threads from the verse/forum in question. Only list threads centered around your character, not an npc prime or secondaries.

A spirte/cherub will pre-process you and then Omni or I will give the decision. Please allow no less than 4 days for this process.

If you are approved, remember that you get a flat OM bonus on top of a fortnight bonus.

If you are denied, please write for at least one OOC month before re-applying.

The healing and regeneration powers descriptions have been shifted around a bit to clarify that the healing ratios are universal for all of these powers (based on DEF) and stuff.

[Proto Man]

Jade Harley, Amaterasu, Link, and Demetri have joined the Omniverse staff team as Sprites.

Keep your eyes peeled for further, Sprite-related updates in the coming day.

Restrictions on giving on to other characters has been relaxed in order to allow for in-universe bounties and trading. The FAQ has been updated as such:

Old version:

Q26: Can I give my omnilium to someone else?
A: In world, this is possible and even a form of trade, but we generally do not allow players to give omnilium to other players for gameplay/balance reasons.

New version:

A: Only in exchange for something tangible. For example, as payment for a bounty, or purchasing an artefact. In order to make a transfer like this, use the help desk and link to the IC topic in question where the transfer takes place. Omnilium can be sent through the Dataverse as 'credit' but this still needs to be shown as taking place in character.

It is strictly against the rules to give a character omnilium for nothing. You may not transfer OM to an alt character for any reason. If we suspect people of abusing this system or trying to 'launder' omnilium to an alt, we may deduct OM or even ban people. If you try and give someone a ridiculous amount of omnilium for small task this will also be questioned.

I have also added numbers to each of the questions to make it easier to hotlink them. This can be done by adding a "#Q2" / "#Q3" etc to the end of the FAQ URL. For example, <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="http://omniverse-rpg.com/omnifaq.php#Q26">omnifaq.php#Q26</a><!-- l -->

Fight rules clarified:
Old:

Once the challenge has been acknowledged, players agree on when to start the fight. A player may have up to seven days from the initial challenge in order to prepare themselves for the fight, but it may not be delayed any longer unless agreed upon by both players. Players may wish to post before the fight begins, setting up the fight in-character, but these posts will not count towards the fight itself.

New:

Once the challenge has been acknowledged, players agree on when to start the fight. A player has up to seven OOC days from the initial challenge in order to prepare themselves for the fight, but it may not be delayed any longer unless agreed upon by both players. From the time the challenge is issued, no involved players may purchase items, powers, or anything else, nor move verses, unless ruled otherwise by the judge. Players may wish to post before the fight begins, setting up the fight in-character, but these posts will not count towards the fight itself.

This was actually decided ages ago, but it took me this long to write the update. I decided that the random elements of super attacks, on a site like this, were a bit too much. When fights take as long as they do nobody wants to lose because of a random element.

However, it's also a bit lame for super defences to essentially be worthless in the face of super attacks. So this is the new ruling:

If you choose to defend against a Super Attack with another Super Attack, then a judge will be called to roll a dice (usually with random.org for simplicity's sake) to decide what happens. There are two possible outcomes: 1: The Super Attacks cancel each other out. In the case that one Super Attack is stronger than the other, it will simply be weakened. For example if a Tier 2 Super Attack and a Tier 1 Super Attack 'cancel each other out', then the Tier 1 Super Attack will be cancelled out, and the Tier 2 Super Attack will be reduced to a Tier 1 Super Attack Instead. 2: Both Super Attacks go through and deal full damage.

Faction leaders now have the ability to add members to their own faction (forum group)

From your User CP, you should see an option under 'Misc.' called 'Group Memberships'.

Under the 'Groups you Lead' section, you should see [View Members] in blue.  If you click that, you'll be brought to a screen where you can invite members (invited people seem to be added automatically).  You can also remove people and PM faction members individually from this screen.

If you have any issues, please post them here.

Thank you and have fun.

3 unique quests have been added to Coruscant

1 repeatable quest has been added. A 'repeatable' quest is a quest that can be completed by multiple primes (or the same prime) as the quest is extremely open-ended.

More quests will follow in other verses. As always, enjoy yourself, and pardon the dust during construction.

[Kelsie]

Added a new NPC: Freddy Krueger!

Added a new subzone to the Astral Realm: Elm Street!

Added a Void Quest for the Astral Realm!

Have fun Omniverse ^^

[Omni]

Changing characters updated:

Third characters
You really don't need a third character, trust me. I mean you have a hard enough time being active on those two as is!

You really want one that bad? You're willing to do anything? Fine. Get two characters to level 5 each. Oh and you have to have been on the site for at least six months. Come back then and if you still want a third character, then ... I guess you can.

[Alex]
