What to expect on this board

First of all, thanks to Romav for coming up with the idea for this board.

We will be using this to post chat logs, screenshots, and so forth from Live Events. If you are in a new Live Event and happen to get some screenshots you think are really awesome and would like us to consider for posting on our server, feel free to PM them to me. This is for events happening from this point forward. It can be for tiny events, like a single Live Event character meeting with your or your faction, or for the larger events we run with LESIGs help. Please note that we will not be able to give credit for individual screenshots.

You will also be able to reply to the posts here and post whatever screenshots you think are appropriate.

So, keep an eye on this board, because this is where we'll try to keep the ongoing storyline sorted in some sort of order as it occurs!


EDIT:

Oh! One thing I should mention. Sometimes a Live character will hold a "private" meeting with an individual or group. In those cases, we will tend not to post the details of the meeting ourselves, but maybe just an edited screenshot. However, if those attending (or crashing) the meeting got any chatlogs or screens themselves, they are very welcome to post them in replies on the thread.

For those who are looking for a place to upload their screenshots, Flickr is an excellent (and free!) choice. Uploaded pictures are re-sized into several resolutions, one of which is perfect for posting on these forums without breaking the layout of the design.

I've created an MxO group on Flickr for everyone to post their photos in (using my existing screenshots as an example), and a simple discussion forum is also provided.

Check it out: http://www.flickr.com/groups/mxo

Alright, great stuff!

Here's an example of what Flickr can do:



See? Fits nicely within the forum width.

The original image was 1680x1050. Click for larger version.

Huge thanks for setting this board up. You've made my week.

There's also the great log from Niobe's visit to Syntax a few days ago where she requested operatives to train commandos in the art of exile butt-kicking. Click here the view, it's a little down on that page.

Hopefully you could quickly copy and paste those messages into this forum to keep it all together?

Once again, big thanks.

Yes very awesome new forum. We have needed this for so long. Finally we get what we have always wanted. No more thousands of sporadic event posts. /thumbsup

should we be RPing in here Rarebit? Or is this just to preserve what has happened? Because if we keep the RP to the server specific events area then we won't have to read through a ton of posts to find the information out that happened. Whats your take on posting in this forum without information that happened in a thread?

Sweet idea for this!

If Walrus set this up correctly, then you can't start new posts in here. All replies to posts made by us are welcome.

Best new forum idea of the year, right here.
Hopefully, this will expand the exposure of Live Event character appearances.

I love you guys.

I see...so do we pm you about that or do we take matters into our own hands?

Just feel free to post the private meeting stuff yourself once I get the teasing event thread posted.
