Hi y'all. Figured it's a good thing to do one of these again where I discuss the latest happenings around WIJ. Feel free to ask any questions and the HICOM crew will try to answer. But you should probably read this first before you post.
Quite frankly it's been quite a busy month for all of us in real life. The HICOM hasn't had a lot of time to interact with the WIJ community, it's been mostly on its own (and it's been doing well! Kudos to the community). I can say with certainty that we will try to resume activity in the next month (not that we were ever fully gone, just less active). To add to that, there's a lot to look forward to.
Something to discuss: I think clans kinda lost their competitive side. Wars are less frequent nowadays, and when they do occur they're out of hate or some ridiculous reason (excluding cake, because that was for fun). The whole 'fun' part of war, does it still exist? People willing to combat each other for fun? I suppose the lower ranked people in a clan would say so. The higher the rank goes the more annoying it is for you. I kinda wish there was a competitive hub like MLG where things are done fairly. On the other hand, that ruins some of the unexpected fun. So that's not really an option I guess.
I think clans as they are now are more isolated. Clans are on their own and have less interaction with each other. This is not necessarily a bad thing. I mean, you're all together in a group and you enjoy yourselves. It's not necessarily about wars and fighting (although I have to admit that's where it started with and we do like the concept of it) but more-so a community where you hang out with friends. War is also a way to have fun and hang out with friends, but as I mentioned before it either doesn't happen, happens out of hate, can be annoying, and so on. Those are just my thoughts on the subject. Don't get me wrong I do like wars, good wars just happen less often I suppose.
END OF THAT WHOLE PHILOSOPHY. I could write another 3 paragraphs on that subject trying to state my point (I don't think I fully completed my point so people are going to attack me on my argument's weak sides BUT HEY).
____
*****ACTUAL THINGS*****
**WAR WITH RSF** So what has been going on? It's come to that point where RSF is clearly not undertaking any changes to their bases and thus leaving their base in the state it is in, annoying to raid. Not impossible but not exactly what I'd call fun. Recently I got word that they *actually* wanted to war (with base updates we mentioned!) but since I expected that they wanted to start with 0 raid-wins I declined and asked for a final battle to end it. Apparently they will accept our raid-count. I have groupbanned them from our places until they:
a) Make their base more fun, enjoyable and less annoying (if you want me to say why, just ask, I can give you 5 or so arguments, terminal is one). b) Actually talk to us. Their 2iC was nice and said Fruitbox was going to talk but he hasn't so far. He got lost when he went to the fridge to get food apparently.
So until that happens the war is postponed!
**MAINFRAME 2** The Mainframe 2 is a brand new system made by our very own owen0202. He insisted to make a new Mainframe that is 10x as efficient scripting wise and easier to use. He has done the code and GUIs, I have created the place for it. It should be done very soon but as I said we've all been very busy. New features for the Mainframe 2 are:
-Session cP support (instead of adding cP per training one by one, enter everyone's name and bam! done.) -No more security levels but ranks in WIJ and STA. -Way better STA support (using a 1-5 rating system, STA acceptance, etc). -Refined tasks (Tasks are no longer seperate, only tasks that you need to do show up). -Ability for lower ranks to search through the database (I guess this isn't really a feature but nice to have). Also if you think you got HR powers, you're wrong, just try it out. -And much more inside stuff that will blow your mind.
Overall it may look like it's a downgrade as I've heard some people say, but really, it's a massive upgrade. Also if you comment on the place saying that it looks unfinished, the general idea is that you look at the place from the inside and not the outside :p. I should probably not allow the camera to go out of the place. The place looks quite small but the fiction around it is that it's a giant space station (giant!) orbiting a star (read the desc. for full fiction!). I tried out a new building style and I quite like it. But don't worry the original style won't get lost.
**STA** The Shock Troopers Academy is currently shutdown due to other issues we need to address first. We want to focus on one thing at a time. That would be Officers (training, activity, power, etc), making sure the ranking system works (Mf2), wArc, and so on. In the meanwhile the STA crew is discussing the changes that they'll be making to make STA run smooth as it has before (also with accepting!). So far it's looking quite promising and the Mf2 definitely adds to that. You can expect STA to go up some time after the Mf2 goes up. We want STA to be good again!
**wArc** I'm limited to what I can say about this, but I'll say 1 thing: "Classy WIJ experience. Most promising."
**W6 projects** On hold due to wArc. Don't worry however.
**Contest prize awards** Sorry guys, this is completely my fault. I have been super busy and you'll have to excuse me. The rewards for the contest will be given ASAP. Come to me or via a HR. Apologies again!
_____ I'm pretty sure that it all I have to address. Thanks for reading. If you have any questions we'll do our best to answer them. The most legitimate answer comes from a HICOM member, not a WIJ low rank (but don't just stop trusting your friends!).
Have a good one.

wArc sounds like a new project, if I'm not mistaken.

| I have the strong feeling that wARC is the space map he wanted to make. |

You should consider a war with APN. They don't even keep score or use a defeated list.
