I B impatient!

[chibiabos]

Any progress on getting the MUCK going?

[Msanifu]

Not that I know of, still planning and making the background story for the setting. And also slowly working on the grid!

At this point, it's been over half a year since Sunrise originally went down, and a month and a half since the last official information about the most recently proposed revival was posted (which was also the last time the new headwiz logged in to the forums here). I, too, want to know what the current status is on the MUCK -- if Uzuri needs help getting things going, or if she's decided not to put in the time and effort of maintaining a new MUCK, at least let us know one way or another.

Not that there isn't interest in an alternative to TLKMuck (this poll was recently posted on their on-MUCK bulletin board), but I'm just tired of being teased and the issue being dragged out for months now, especially after so many other false starts and re-starts over the past couple of years...either open the new MUCK for business, or let Sunrise have a dignified death, and move on to other things.

For what it's worth, I second this whole-heartedly.

[Thulani]

Same here. If someone needs help to get things going, I'd be more than happy to help. I want Sunrise to come back and I'm getting impatient too. I understand that these things take time and that everyone is busy, but if the work is too much, then please, let the people who are willing to commit more time into the revival help out and get things going for real.

[Msanifu]

Agreed. I don't even know if anyone's heard from Uzuri lately. -_-

[Thulani]

Then why don't we do something about it? Nothing against Uzuri because if she's busy, then she's busy. But, for the people who aren't so busy and who want something to actually happen, is there something else for us to do other than wait for something forever? :[

[Msanifu]

Well, I do vote for Thulani's idea, start something the ones who are interested. It's just a matter of finding the right people and whatnot.

On the other paw, for those who haven't heard already, there's this:

Not sure how far is it from opening for RP. If someone wants to start something new though, I'm willing to help!

[Sinyaa]

Yeah, I've signed up to help out with the new LK-themed MUCK, because, well, I love playing Zira. XD

But yeah. If anyone happens to be interested, there's a bunch of FCs still available, and we're definitely going to need a Simba.

[Thulani]

I definitely signed up for Shenzi on that new LK themed MUCK. :]

Hnnr... o.o;

Alright - here's the deal y'all.

I host the new SunRise Muck on my own equipment (as well as own the website), but being in the Navy and being deployed/sent abroad frequently means I cannot really handle day-to-day operations in the game. Especially since I'm trying to maintain a social life (IE: dating) for the first time in a few years. x.x; (IE: Girls demand alot of time/effort/money/attention apparently... can't just water them and leave in the sunlight. Knew I was doing someting wrong all these years...)

Uzuri stepped forward and began basic plot planning and such, but it seems that she is also suffering from a time problem.

To be blunt, we're understaffed and are handling getting this online with just the two of us at the moment in what little free-time we have to do so.

The hardware is functional.
The server is hosted.
The MUCK Code is installed.
The basic OOC nexus is in place.
Basic MUF code/programs is already in place.

... 9/10ths of what's needed is there, what's left is staffing and content. Escentially it's a blank slate awaiting creative personnel to build the world to match the plot, and has most of the usual standard apps already installed. (Except for maybe @family. I'll have to double check on that...) ...Personnel to help handle day-to-day affairs and rooms/IC grid to wander in.

... I'll take a look this evening and reverify this when I get off of work... might see if I can't throw something quick together for rooms for the interim.

The website will have to be redone... and I'm not a webmonkey... but that's a secondary concern.

... Did I ever post the addy for the site on the forums? c.C; If not, I'll post them again this evening.

I can't program, but I'll help in any other way.
