The Wizard Update

Article by Bryce

Over the past few weeks, the Wizards team has become more active than it has been for quite some time. ThatÂ’s right! WeÂ’ve dusted off our wands and robes and have gone to work. Numerous projects and events benefiting the fantasy community of Outpost 10F have been created, and are now being worked on by the dedicated members of the team. Since many of the projects that the Wizards team are working on are top secret, we cannot reveal all of them to the community. We do, however, have a couple of projects that we can share with you in this issue of the Blue Report, as well as some important Wizard team news.

First off, after a number of fantasy patrons suggested that we should add new avatars to the Minas Tirith chat, we couldnÂ’t refuse. A few of the Wizards on the team, including former member Cynara Jade, collected a number of avatars from various fantasy subjects (not just from LotR) and are now in the process of deciding which ones should be added to Minas Tirith. We unfortunately cannot add all of the avatars compiled, as there are quite a few. So, if youÂ’re tired of always using the same old boring avatar in Minas Tirith, then keep your eyes open for these brand new ones. They should be added within the next few weeks or so.

Secondly, with the Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children movie about to be released, Wizard Ryo Crimson has decided to plan and create, with the help of a few other Wizards, some Outpost 10F events that go along with the movie and game. He didnÂ’t want the events to be normal events such as triviaÂ’s or game discussions, but rather events in which members of Outpost 10F could actively participate. After brainstorming, he came up with a few possible events including a chocobo race, a monster masquerade, and a battle tournament. While none of these events have yet been declared official, they are now being worked out and more ideas are being discussed among the Wizards. More information on the Final Fantasy events will be coming soon!

Thirdly, the Minas Tirith chat room is now back to normal after being turned into the Golden Girls palace. The Wizards have decided that knitting is not their hobbie (as several of them managed to sever their hands in the process) and that the Golden Girls chat top was a bit too much. We would like to thank Phill, the Wizard's graphic guru, for designing the chat top, and all the rest of the wizards who helped out to make one of the greatest April Fool's jokes ever.

Finally, we would like to bid a very fond farewell to CL7 Cynara Jade. She has recently left the Wizards team due to real life complications. Cynara was a devoted member of the team for months, and we really hate to lose her. We would like to thank her for all of her great contributions that she has made to the Wizards. Cynara, you will certainly be missed!

ThatÂ’s it from the Wizard team this month. We hope that youÂ’ve received a better understanding as to what we are working on. We are always looking for new ways to better enhance the fantasy part of Outpost 10F, so if you have any suggestions or questions about anything, feel free to contact any one of the Wizards. As always, remember to keep your eyes open for new projects and events happening in the Outpost 10F fantasy community.
