Mission System Updates, Navigation Page, & Tag Change Requests
Good evening Exsilium!
Tonight I come to you with several organizational gifts. First off is a new Navigation Page (proper linking through materials to be coming in the next few weeks)! While some information, like Jobs in Exsilium, are better answered on the Winter Wonderland post due to the current state of the game, this new navigation page should be a simple means of finding the sorts of information pages and locations you want to use, when you want to use them.
As you may see on the Navigation Page, we now have a Game Changing Mission Listing! More missions will be added over time as more become available. Right now, most missions listed are in the category of the first Arc the game voted to complete earlier this month -- concerning Cloning & Genetics. To sign up for any one of these missions, copy the provided form into the comment thread for what type of mission you'd like. That is, for Cloning & Genetics, comment under the "CLONING & GENETICS" thread, and so forth. Every mission is numbered in each section. Be sure to include that number in your sign up!
We highly suggest posting to the OOC or using other means of communication to find interested parties to go on any of the listed missions. The Transport AI (formerly known as the Initiative AI) has come up with suggestions for times and places Transports might go, but any mission on the Game Changing Mission page is entirely optional ICly. Only fellow Transports can force a Transport to go on a mission against their will.
If you have suggestions for missions that would fit into any of the current categories, or have suggestions on other broad-reach categories to have missions in, please leave those comments in the appropriate thread on that page.
But wait! What's that other mission type mentioned? Due to the success of the player run quick mission format we had while on the moon, we will be retaining a quick mission format for private player missions to run alongside game changing missions. Unlike game changing missions, private player missions will not lead to a direct effect on the game as a whole. They are instead meant to allow players to explore any avenue of creativity they desire within the context of a Time Travel game.
To sign up for a quick mission, please go to the quick mission page here!
And for one last piece of information, we now have a Tag Change Request page! As you can see, a few of you folks had already discovered it, but as of tonight, it is now a live, active page to use in order to make tag change requests. From now forward, we will be processing requests from that page. No more hunting around for where you need to ask to have something done about tags on the communities!
As always, we are open to feedback, questions, and comments on these changes. Please ask questions in the thread labeled "questions" below. Suggestions and comments are welcomed in the same place!
In future weeks we will be attempting to continue cleaning up navigation and information within the community. It's been a big project, and will continue to be, so cheer for us and send a little extra energy our way! In the meantime, the head mods will continue to brainstorm with the plot mods to bring more options to the Game Changing Missions sign-up menu. We thank all of you for your continuing patience!

So for non-game changing missions, we'd use the quick mission page as opposed to the original mission request page http://initiates.dreamwidth.org/5435.html>here? Just so I can make sure I'm requesting things right!
