I'd like to introduce Lusternia's new coder: Orael the Anomaly. He understands combat and is familiar with balance and, more importantly, knows Lusternia combat like very few others. His first mandate is to balance the combat, including artifacts (including promotional artifacts like wonderitems). He will be given veto power (even over me!) to take whatever actions he deems necessary to bring balance to the game, including reviewing any new potential artifacts or powers.

Further, we will be discarding the envoy system (don't cry!). Rather, we will allow anyone to write reports, and allow players to vote on reports, and those reports that rise to the top will be addressed. (This is a simplistic overview but details will be explained further later.) For the time being, we will keep the envoys themselves as a group for feedback.

After the Anniversary Battlechess Tournament this Sunday (2:00 p.m. PST), Orael and I will meet with whoever wishes to meet with us to discuss any topic of your choosing.

Hope to see you then!
