Plan for Pascal "decoy" Bos

A real plan this time

Finally a serious plan from me, i guess it’s about time…

First off let me get some things out of the way. I just returned from vacation, if any of you ever have the chance to take a trip to Canada, GO. It’s a great country I had a fantastic time there.

Currently I’m looking into getting my ass over to Eugene to be at IGC but the way it looks now I probably won’t be attending…. I just can’t seem to be able to keep all expenses within my budget. Biggest post in this is the flight ticket, Eugene is just a bit to far of from regular flights schedule from here. To be honest this pisses me of quite a bit.. I really, really, really wanted to be there and meet up with a lot of people I only know from all the chat and mail sessions I had last year. Besides that it would have been a good learning experience and a great opportunity to exchange a whole lot of creative ideas that just aren’t that good if you have write them down without the chance or the time to illustrate them. I didn’t give up yet but chances are becoming pretty slim.

Ok let’s get back to every day’s business, which for me is Realm Wars. First of all I like to thank Logan Foster for taking care of things while I wasn’t at my post. I’m still in the process of getting back into things, reading up on mail and stuff. This takes a little longer than I expected since they also had some nice surprises at the office of my job, so my excuse to all people who expected an answer from me by now, I’ll try to get it to you a.s.a.p. I’m not totally up to date with the latest developments yet but I know a fair bit from a chat session I had earlier this week with Phil, James and Logan, we divided some tasks and things are moving for me again so I hope to have some result early next week. With that being said let’s see if we can get some work done.

There are a few things I want to put on table and on which I would love to get some feedback.
Main point in this is trying to regulate incoming art content while maintaining quality and consistency without scaring of our contributors. I will be posting a topic in the Realm Wars Art forum soon which will address this stuff… This whole subject is kind of build up from a whole range of little problems I encountered during my first few months with Realm Wars. People submitting the same object, differences in quality and high quality work that isn’t consistent are just a few of the issues I would love to get some feedback on.

I also like to put some time into making garagegames a little more attractive to artists. I think all could benefit from attracting more artists to the community.. I will contact Garagegames about this and will try to get some input from the few artists we have so far.. No doubt I will put this up on the forum so you all can give your view on this…

Well I think I pretty much have my hands full again, so I’ll leave it to this for now hoping I can give you all a nice plan update in a week or 2.
