MFG News: 2nd Edition

Well it's been awhile since we had the News last time and it's time for another update from us on staff. If there's anything you want clarification on then don't hesitate to ask in this thread and I'll do my best to make it more clear for you.

Well I'll start it off this week with JAIF having taken over the Battle! section. He's going to do his best to revive the section and bring it back to it's former glory as it was on MFG3 and hopefully better. The Battle! tourney is nearing it's close and will be over soon. As I understand it Pyro and BI are fighting for the final prize, everyone check it out when you get a chance, it's sure to be epic. Congrats to all those that participated, it sounded like a good turn out. Look out for updated rules and new projects going on in this section in the future!

And on to JAIF's other section, the Creative Writing section. The MFF writing contests are going strong. This time it was Best Emotional Scene - the contest has either just closed or is about to close, see the section for more details. Also get to reading those fics, we want to see new work and support for long running fics.

The Anime and Manga Awards are ramping up, and as I understand it the nominations are nearing completion or have completed, look out for the next step ... voting!

RPG Update: If you didn't see the poll earlier this week then you don't know. But the RPG creation has changed themes in mid-stream and is now going to be a Naruto only RPG. Sorry for all you DBZ fans but this won't be happening for awhile now. I have Lazlo working on a new version of it. Whether we'll have it featured here on MFG or a board of Lazlo's that we'll link here is another issue. But hopefully in time MFG will have both. We'll just have to wait and see what happens. Unfortunately this means that the Naruto RPG is going to experience a push-back in time as we have to start on a totally different system than what we were working on. The RPG team, Island and I are handling it and it will go live as soon as we can make that happen.

On a final note, there have been some announcements this week in regards to what's acceptable as far as sexually explicit posts and racist comments. I think it's gone over pretty well, and I hope you can all understand where we're coming from with it. Finally, for awhile now we've been working on some Lounge Guidelines and no it's not what you're thinking. We just want to bring everybody on to the same page, from mods to members and everyone in between. In the next few days you'll see this pop-up, so have a look. It's nothing restricing at all, it's just as you guys have been going about things already but with more clarification.

This also comes with a clarification on the Main MFG Rules at the top of the board. We're making things much more clear as far as what is and what isn't acceptable. It'll be the same really, but worded differently so there's no possibiliy of getting confused.

That about does it from me ... feel free to post and question anything you see in here. If you have any major issues then feel free to pm me. Don't make any asshole comments about the rules before you actually see them, if you want more info on that then please pm me and I'll deal with you directly. Or feel free to pm the mod for the sectoin in question and they'll be more than happy to help you out.

Cheers MFG...
