CARP News for the 21st of July, 2006.
Recent Changes to CARP
* We have moved from Tartarus to a bigger area on the Silvermoon sim, and completely redesigned our grounds to use new mazes where almost every wall can shift, and to have a separate, multi-storey dungeon in the sky.
* We have many new staff who work on things from maze design, tag coding and item scripting to event hosting, DJing, helping newbies and security. We are still looking for people to help greet newbies, explain CARP to them and guide them through being fitted up for events.
* There is a poll on how the maze should work here. Please vote.
* The sim (Silvermoon) that CARP is based in has restarted many times lately, and I have been in contact with LL trying to figure out why. Our two best explainations so far are griefer attacks and the 1.11 update making SL very unstable. There is also our popularity... as large crowds are one of the biggest factors contributing to lag. I'll post more news as I get it.
* We are now having *strip* capture events - with different rules that many people like. Try one if you haven't yet.
* We no longer book events to happen at certain dates/times. Rather, we just announce them about 20 minitues in advance... when we have enough players for a game. We will try to have a few events at set times, but because we have so many people the emphasis has shifted to dynamic event times.

Upcoming future changes
* We are developing a new version of the CARP tags. This version will have a menu-based configuration system, will work even on people of a different active group, will support showing your preferences (straight/bi/gay, human/furry, etc) over your head, and will have various other improvements and bug fixes.
* We are gradually improving the CARP HQ and grounds. At first, we are replacing the old stone maze with a new, improved, dynamic hedge version, and adding more player pics to the walls.
* We hope to start hosting CARP auction events in the near future. We need someone to organise these!
* We hope to host the official opening of our Silvermoon grounds soon... complete with live DJs (Takkun Somme, Micalia, etc), events and possibly an auction.
* A 1/4sim chunk of land near the CARP HQ is for sale! Green, mature-rated, close to CARP and lots of other kinky furries, flat terraform by default, water on one side, lots of prims... Currently the SE section of the Silvermoon sim, used for Teddy Wishbringer's house and store which are moving to another sim also owned by Angel Fluffy. Could be sold in parcels to multiple buyers, but a single buyer is preferred. If you're interested in this flat, lush green, mature land with great neighbours, contact Angel Fluffy or Teddy wishbringer.


We need volenteers to...

* Design a CARP logo for us.
We want one that has 'CARP' in it, looks interesting and is related to our theme. The 'C' should look like an open collar, the 'A' should look like the stargate symbol for Earth, the 'R' should look like the 'R-rating' picture meaning '18 and over only' and the 'P' should look like something else. The person doing this may be paid if their work is of sufficient quality.
* Host events at CARP HQ.
We have several event hosts, but we need more to deal with the fact we have so many people interested in CARP. We also need a few people who can help newbies and visitors, and suggest new text for inclusion in the CARP notecards.
* Redesign our dungeon area.
We want some people to help us redesign the dungeon area so that instead of having lots of blocky floors, we have a more neat-looking area with themed rooms, e.g. a few Deviant rooms, a furry room, a master/slave room, an ageplay room, a tentacle room, etc.
* Donate L$.
Our monthly tier payment ($50) is coming up in a few days and your support is greatly appreciated.
* Advertise for us.
We'd appreciate if you would spread the word about CARP to anyone you know who might be interested in it. This is the single most important way we get new players. Dominant players are especially sought :)
* Suggest new ideas for events
