The forum has been created and the permissions have been set, so we can proceed with sign-ups for the "Community Update Preview" Squad.
What is this?
The 'Update Squad' is a group of volunteers who agree to see any changes I am planning to the rules basically as soon as I write them up, and in exchange, they provide their feedback and suggestion in order to improve the result before it becomes Rules.
Who is eligible?
Literally anyone, so long as you have an approved character. No limitations on race played, GP earned, experience, or any other criteria.
What is expected of me?
This group has two real rules. First, don't go spilling what you see to everyone who will listen. Your focus is important, and if you are just using this to "get in on some secret info" you will be quickly outed and removed. And second, you have to actually participate with critical examination and reflection. Lurking indefinitely, or saying "Looks good" (unless everyone else feels the same) will get you removed.
What do I get for doing this?
You get to help your community and speak up about the Site, exactly like you've been asking to in response to several changes, before things go live, and without the added requirements of first being staff.
Is this good for anything else?
If an Update is not currently up for review, this is certainly a great place to seriously propose changes where a lot of people can critically view and respond. Be prepared to defend your idea, however.
When does this start?
There will be an Update for you to preview prior to the end of this month, which is why this is being put up now. "Cycle 1" begins today.
How do I sign up?
Reply here using the account you would like added. One account per player. That's it. All I ask is that your language is clear, using something like "Sign me up".
