• Regarding SPECIAL TASKS YOU CAN DO FOR FREE XP: The ST crew is in need of a lot of willing and enthusiastic people to work on projects to help make UnMasqued run in a smooth and efficient fashion, and we are willing to reward any players who chip in with some free XP for their characters. If you are interested in helping the crew with any of the following, please contact us at sts AT unmasqued DOT com:
  
  
  • Influence Back End: (Need to know PHP/MySQL/HTML/CSS) The crew would be interested in having somebody try to improve the current operations of the on-site influence system, particularly from the ST admin end. We're interested specifically in having somebody write some simple code that can allow us to better sort/search for past influences.
    
    
  • On-Site Rumors: (Need to know PHP/MySQL/HTML/CSS) The crew would be interested in having an option to post rumors on-site, as such that players could read them in downtime and react to them in a more "real time" fashion. This project would be similar (and possibly linked) to improving the influence backend in general.
    
    
  • Sheet Printing Script: (Need to know Visual Basic... from what I've been told) The crew would be interested in having somebody put together a script that would take a series of .RTF files and concatenate them together into a large printable .DOC file, with each .RTF starting on an odd page.
  
  
  
• Regarding Ghost Influences: There will be an additional influence cycle (but no game) for the date of May 23rd, 2008. These actions will be at standard level, are NOT considered Summer Actions, and will be answered by the following Tuesday on May 26th, 2008.
  
  
• Regarding Summer Influence Actions: Summer Influence Actions are due by the Tuesday, September 2nd. These influence actions may be treated as if they are either one level higher, or three normal individual actions.
  
  
• Regarding Our Absentee Policy: If you, as a player, miss three consecutive games without giving the STs any notice of your intentions, we will stop printing your sheet in preparation for games. If you miss five, we more you out of the active characters file. If you miss eight, your character becomes an NPC and is considered the property of the STs.
  
  
• Regarding Capped Clans: No Clans are currently capped. We currently seem to be in need of Assamites and Nosferatu. The Anarch populace of the game could use a significant boost.
  
  
• Regarding Generations: 8th generation slots are capped. All new characters should be of the 9th generation or higher. We have two remaining slots for 9th generation
  
  
• Regarding the game site location: For those who are living outside of Oberlin and need the location of Wilder Hall, here is the address:
  
  
  135 West Lorain Street,
  Oberlin, OH 44074

• The STs are currently working on updating several aspects of the game! Expect continuing updates as these become finalized.
