Sorry about the random title.

I just wanted to let everyone know, that I've been away for the past two weeks due to a few personal issues wacking me from out of the blue and now I've got my life gradually back on track, I can declare that I will be back online more often from here on out.

I'm not totally back, offically, just yet.
Although I will be online a lot more often than how I was and having said that, I think I may have missed a lot of things happening here?

So anyone feel like bringing me up to speed?
Hope everyone's been well and the staff have been looking after you guys, or you've been looking after the staff. Hehe, but yes, sorry about my disappearence - the Staff were notified at the time, so it wasn't a random act of magic I pulled on you guys.

I haven't had the chance to look through anything just yet, so go easy on me if anyone begins to talk about something I don't really have a clue about - I'm guessing a lot of update material has been shipped through to the staff, something that will land at my feet sooner or later.

Anyway! Glad to be back, again, I'm not totally back yet, but I will be around if anyone fancies a chat or whatever. I'm just happy to see this place hasn't crumbled without my god-like presence here. Ahem!

So yeah - if you love me, post below.

PUNK! ;D I'm happy to see you swinging back around, Danny-boy! I've also sent a PM your way with some minor details on what's been going on. I missed a few things, though.

Anyways, for those things missed...

Heiko's worked hard and has gotten some rank images for the Italians, as well as images for stuff like vehicles and units. He also worked with DBev to get the Japanese units ready; both are in the Suggestions area. They've both done a lovely job.

There have been a few issues with the C-box in your absence. Mainly, the fear of impersonators, as well as Owen being impersonated; I think you knew about that already. Raf's resigned from the C-box, too, but for the past week-...and-a-half, I think, all has been well.

The Wiki is getting a bit of reorganization. Owen suggested we standardize the battle and character pages, based on a template I use, which is based on one Rhys used for his character Rhys's page. I've also reorganized a lot of articles into the "Characters of Issuing Orders" category, and I am slowly making it so that the "Members of Issuing Orders" category is reserved for member articles (such as Doc's). There's also a Wiki article on the C-box, made by Owen and with a section added by me.

We've gotten a couple of new members in your absence. One is Franz Walters, and I think it was his friend Friedrich...? I could be wrong, though.

Annnnnnnnnnd that's it, I think.

Woooop!
Thanks for the quick catch up and the PMs. <3

You say Wolfram has resigned from the Cbox? What's all that about? And well, now I'm back, any impersonators in the Cbox will be banned automatically. You can proclaim to be anyone you like, but here, we've built up a community and certain names are reserved by those members when talking in the Cbox - I'm particularly not a fan of people pretending to be someone else either.

So don't worry, any Masked Villans will be banned. Don't need to know who they are, just a quick crack of the whip on their IP and we'll soon find out who isn't talking in the Cbox in the days to come, to work out who it actually was.

Onnnnn another note.
Great to see that the Wiki page is still progessing and we've got some new faces.

Anything else I should I know about!?
Or what-not...?

According to Wolfie, it's his way to telling the impersonators to back off. You'll have to ask him about it, though, in case I got anything wrong.

Oh, and is Branigan spelt with one N or two? Your Wiki article for him has the spelling with only one N. I recently noticed that letter was doubled. I meant to ask you, but forgot until now. ^^;

[PuNk! ™]

Oh? Lmao, sounds like Wolfram. I'll have to drop him a PM see if he's alright.

Brannigan has two N's. I think people get confused with Brentwood sometimes, because they're both very similar names. Talking of Brannigan and Brentwood, I'll have to get them up and running again real soon.

[Vivienne Rousseau]

Okay. I'll get Rhys to fix the page title - editors don't have authorization to do that on the Wiki. Thank you! ;D

Oh, and if you didn't know already, the 3ID got the first tank killer. And a tank. And you've got a new soldier in your div, I think.

Oh, and speaking of divs, Heiko started the first Russian division.

[PuNk! ™]

Thanks.
Oh right, congratz to the 3ID and yeah I did notice, I'll have to post in my division shortly, got a few units to add/remove by the looks of things.

As for Heiko starting a Russian Division?
That's impossible at the moment, because we currently have no official Russian sign-ups and plus, the well over-due Divisional update needs to take place within the next week I reckon. It's been postponed for long enough.

So Heiko; If you're reading this. Could you please either freeze/remove your division until all the necessary ammendments have been made, otherwise I'll have to lock it for now. You're not the only person who's waiting to start a new division and I've told them to postpone their plans until we've got all the correct updates and the likes made first.

We just can't take anymore divisions on at the moment, when there's some big updates to be implemented. These new divisions will only get in the way and cause more aggrovation than I'm sure the staff team need right now.

Cheers!

Okay...I think that's everything...oh wait. I just remembered I was going to ask you: what about characters played belonging to the French Resistance? Have they been discussed? If not, that's okay - I'm just trying to make sure there's nothing missed or anything.

[PuNk! ™]

Oh - not as of yet, no.
From what I've seen, the staff are tackling; Japenese, Italian, Russian and numerous other things all at once right now. The French Resistance idea may have to wait a little while, but it's not something I'll forget about for you. <3

~Danny

[Vivienne Rousseau]

Meh, I have ideas surrounding a Cossack character anyways. Vivienne can always sit on the back burner - it's a positive side to the fact that I have fifty different character ideas always on hand in the back of my brain. ;D I blame an overactive muse.

[Stephen Colly]

Welcome back PuNk, I have had a busy last two weeks as well...EASTER SOON!

Anyway, this is a good thread for me also as I like to catch up, PuNk if you ever want a thread we have the one with Stephen and Liam in the works...?

[⊕ Owen Pearson]

I see you already found your new signature. Anything you want me to add?

[Daniel Brennan]

Good to know that you are back(-ish).

[Nathan Whyte]

Heeeey, mate

First up, if that Division Update doesn't appear in a week, you will find it much harder to log on to here. Being dead has that effect I've put so much hard work in to it, it just isn't funny.

Um, right, the 7AD. It's been, um....quiet? I've brought some units and I hope to kick Strumfelder butt. He only has mortars, and an MG42. What's to worry about, eh?

I think Addie has brought you up to speed on everything else. You may/may not have seen Dan's April Fools Day joke(s), they were, um, interesting. And I won't see you until Sunday if you wanna chat.

Nathan.
