For those of you who don’t read the forums much, be aware that there’s a banner contest going on. Check this thread for details.
Likewise, since some people have said they would like to see the shop, the prototype has been posted here for your perusal.

It’s already won. You all can stop trying now!

I shall explain the reasoning behind each side’s salary as follows.
ESA: Their economy is awesome, and their special thing is getting paid more than anyone.
HRL: They control a very large amount of land, and thus get a slightly higher than normal salary.
Atlantic Federation: The ‘median’ salary.
SRA and ZAFT: They get slightly less than average, since they each have a much smaller tax base.
Rogues: Freedom has it’s price. Unfortunately for you, that price is having the lowest salary. Rogues have other ways to make money, though, so I think it will be alright.

Went through the Rules and Background pages for a little bit, editing out the handful of errors that remained. In addition, I added a few inline links to the Rules page so that certain references were linked appropriately.
Edited the Background page as minimally as possible, so as not to disrupt Troika’s prose. Changed the style of the headers to match the Rules page.
… and… I see people have learned about the existence of this site. Damn. Well, back to my Machiavellian shadows.
You kids have fun.

The general public now knows we exist. Still not open yet, though. ;p

I finally put up the backstory. I covered Gundam Pilot and Cataclysm, and the period in between, and tried to give some shout-outs. Feel free to let me know what you think 
Gundam Pilot’s era is somewhat undetailed since it’s been some time ago and I don’t really remember it well. Same with Cataclysm, but I think that all things considered, it turned out fairly well.
All that remains is the shop, the simbase rules, and the bases/ships page, and MalikCarr has those ably in hand. There is a minor forums issue, in that we need a better banner, but it hardly impedes the functioning of the site as a whole.

Did a little more on the rules, and added some to each side’s description, to make clear whom they tend to throw down with the most. I also clarified the upgrade rules– essentially, you will usually upgrade at 100 VP, but sometimes people will upgrade earlier or later. This is primarily meant to help people who have crappy upgrades.
I shall now test the image uploader!
-Troika
Can you all see this? If so, I think I fixed the problem with uploading images.
- Joseph
Started work on rewriting the rules, as requested– got down to about Roleplaying before I stopped for the nonce. Hopefully, this version is better.
I shall, of course, work on them more later.

Well, isn’t this a nice way for a lad to spend his Friday evening? It’s okay, liver. Tomorrow night I’ll make it up to you. You know you like the abuse.
Spent awhile today adjusting the content area’s colors. Frankly, I prefer this quite a bit to the old light blue. Meshes better with the actual layout.
Otherwise, I mostly just added new pages and put sub-links on those new pages. Infrastructure-wise, all of the necessary pages exist. Guess it’s up to Troika to fill those babies with content.
Ignore the banner. Just threw it up so we’d have a placeholder until someone with actual graphical talent had his or her shot.
As a gift, we have a chat room now, complete with applet. Colors need to be adjusted, but it’s functional.
