I thank all of you who have entered the December Site Contest. Please offer up your laurels for the winners... (Plot) Bunnies for Christmas by Slapthefatcat in the Craft category, and Of Kith and Memories by Dread in the Kith category.
Since you both earned the most Cheers on your entries, you shall each receive 100 Gems, as well as the In the Spotlight Achievement, the Spotlight T-Shirt, and the Spotlight Showcase. I must now move the winning threads to the Archived Contest Winners Forum.
New Items: Instant Core Food
Okay, I don’t think anyone saw me leave the elevator... Now what was the retired command line we used to hack into for this old upload port? Scorch it, it's been so long. It’s hard to believe this ancient console even still works. I think I’m supposed to click the... no, wait, that won’t bypass the security system. Perhaps... this one? Yes! Terminal accessed!
Ahem. "Greetings to you, Core citizen. This is a prerecorded message from - a fellow citizen. Thank you for accessing this new vending machine trial program. By using this machine, you are qualified to receive these brand-new rations, which I have fully subsidized-"
Argh, no, completely obvious. Plus, it’s not like they’ll know how much these originally cost me to make, anyways. I'll need to edit that out when I’m removing all the extra background noise here... The Core warehouse shuttles are way too easy to recognize.
"Hey there! If you’re hearing this prerecorded message, you probably noticed this vending machine has a sunny assortment of brand-new, super cheap rations - some of the most popular dishes from the Crust, now repackaged into a portable form that you can carry with you anywhere in the Core!"
Yes, that's better...
"There's no need to sacrifice flavor and nutritional input for the sake of practicality anymore! Why not try a decadent mix of high protein content and energizing spicy sauce that you can savor whether you’re taking a well-earned break from coding, working on some repairs, or even cruising home on your hoverboard? Eat on the go with the characteristic Walking Classic Particle Taco, the delectable Walking Pretty Particle Taco, the scrumptious Walking Moon Chip Taco, or even the radiant Walking Sunny Strapple Taco!
And hey, why limit yourself to tacos? The classic Upper Crust dish of ramen can now be yours as well! It’s easy to eat even after you rehydrate it, thanks to our cleanly packaged new Instant Cosmic Ramen, Instant Juicy Ramen, and Instant Flaming Ramen.
Enjoy! Plus, if you like the snacks in this vending machine and wish they could be distributed more widely by the courierbots to anyone with a Core ID, perhaps alongside an even wider variety of fully-subsidized food options, why not fill out form 723A.8231 to suggest that the Commander and the Bridge Crew consider implementing and supporting an official version using the new resources acquired from the Earth Remnants?"
Stellar! Now I simply need to edit out that first bit - Splice together the final recording - add some quick vocal auto tuning... Heh, it's been a while since the DJ Kyp days.
Finished. Now for the hard part... trying to remember the override codes to upload all these recipes directly to the Botany Terrace shop so that these meals can be easily reproduced. Maybe I can circumvent the processors with -
"Hacked system alert"?! No, no, no, no!!
Ah - Cancel! Stop! Don't -
Code Update: 12/8/20
Hello again, everyone! It's time for another code update, and this one's a doozy. We've changed a lot of code on the Forums, building some foundational updates that will help us continue improving in the future.
For starters, you can now Cheer ANY post on the Forums! Give some love to your favorite replies with this shiny new Cheers button all over the Forums!
Next, we've added a Follow feature for users who prefer to avoid all the frequent Forum notifications. You can click the Follow button on any topic or category to have any posts show up in your Followed Activity page, which is a new link on the Recent Activity page. This is currently limited to 10 pages of activity (that's 100 posts!) but we have plans to expand that number in the future as the Forum gets more active.
Speaking of the Recent Activity page, we've combined the Forum Topics and Forum Replies links into one single Recent Activity page link. No more hopping back and forth to see what's new!
Finally, we've added a long-requested feature to the Forums: polls! You can now create a poll that has between 2 and 10 options for people to choose as an answer or reply to your poll's question. There are a few optional durations you can set for each poll, or you can leave it open-ended forever (or until you decide to retire the poll manually). The neat thing about these polls is that they are inserted with BBCode, so you can actually attach them anywhere BBCode is accepted on site! That means you can stick them in your Profile, on any of your Kiths' Profiles, in Messages, etc. You can reach the new My Polls page from the Community > Forum > My Polls navigation bar.
We've also updated a few bits and pieces of underlying code that you likely won't see as a user, to improve our moderators' admin functionality on the Forums and Achievements. I'm mentioning it here just in case a bug may have slipped through - if you notice a problem on the site, please let us know in the Technical Support Forum so we can get it fixed ASAP!
Thank you all again for helping to make Tattered World the best it can be!
Edit: I almost forgot to add that Tutorials will be receiving an update soon, so you may notice some oddness or blank Tutorial buttons over the next two weeks. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Site Contest: December 2020
Good afternoon, everyone. May you be blessed with warmth and safety as Autumn’s cruelty gives way to Winter’s time of reflection. In the Colosseum, the transition from autumn to winter is a time to honor all of those that we hold dear, so I have offered to host the December Site Contest, with a theme of fond memories.
There will be a Craft Contest and Kith Spotlight Contest open for all to enter. Both of these should emphasize your love for a person or Kith that you know.
The entries begin today, and the contest will end on December 20th at 12:00 (noon) CHT - and the winner of each category will receive 100 Gems, as well as a special In the Spotlight Achievement and some unique items, the Spotlight Showcase and Spotlight T-Shirt.
