Welcome to the new site.

Bet you thought I forgot you, huh? Heh, dream on. Work on the RPG is progressing quite smoothly and we’re mostly done with the fiddly bits– soon enough will come the grunt work of making a bazillion bases.
Preliminary opening date is sometime in May; I’m not going to set an exact deadline because it depends on a few things, primarily how smoothly the domain transfer goes. I’ll be releasing some new information on the forums, so stay tuned!
Big ups to Frenzy, Kusu, and Vlad; you’ve all been quite helpful thus far. In particular, Kusu managed to come up with a movment system that will, hopefully, be significantly less retarded and annoying than the old one.

Along with some other stuff. A bit more than a month is long enough. =p
Development continues at a steady pace, not much to say on that front.
If you absolutely -must- have some of the removed material, drop me a line at my personal email (mouse over Troika on the side there to see it). The RPG email isn’t being monitored currently, so anything sent to it isn’t being read.
We’re on schedule, at this point; all goes smoothly.

Just an update to let y’all know, work on the new RPG is chugging along nicely. Vlad is busily pumping out notMAHQ profiles, and lots of work has been done on hammering out exactly what we want to do in terms of setting, rules, and so forth. Everything is starting to come together.
In May, we’ll be seeing a large change: I intend to move the site to a new domain, one that isn’t hosted in dear old Mom’s webspace.
This won’t be much of a change as far as the rest of you are concerned, since all that will change from this end is the site loading at a new URL, which I’ll publish on the forums when things happen.
I also have some other plans, related to the community at large and not so much the RPG, but you’ll have to wait and see on those as well. I <3 being cryptic and inscrutable.
Contrary to the rumors, FI is far from dead.
Hang out in the IRC channel sometime; me and Vlad are known to occasionally sit in there and provide sneak previews/little tidbits of stuff for the new RPG.

And with tonight, Future Imperfect comes to a close. Ironically enough, the close is late, as I had planned to shut down a week ago (as posted a few months back), but, I did promise Draco we’d run an extra week, so make sure you thank him if you see him chillin’ in the chat.
You know, when I started this, I really didn’t think it would last ten months– it was mostly an experiment to see how well I could put together and run an RPG Seems the answer is, for the most part, pretty okay! I can’t really take all the credit though, so a big shoutout goes to everyone who helped me with this project. Special thanks to the following people:
-Marcus, for getting the site running in the first place and also fixing it in the middle of the night when I broke it (twice)
-Rob, for starting Gundam Pilot RPG and Gundam Cataclysm, which this RPG is built on top of.
-Vlad, for making approximately a billion bases and profiles.
-Frenzy and Kusuriurite, for taking the load off and generally being awesome.
-Andrew, for providing mucho assistance until he burnt out. Sorry, Andrew!
-Draco, for keepin’ it real.
-Robert, for filling everyone’s pockets with $ on the weekends virtually without fail. (Seriously, he did more weekend updates than everyone else put together.)
-Jim and Scarth, for being old school amidst the usual assortment of super-powered mobile suits.
-The writers. Seriously, you guys are the heart of any RPG, and I’m pleased with your efforts.
-Everyone who pointed out rules loopholes and found bugs and stuff. Thanks, guys!
This isn’t the end, however. Watch this space for info on the new RPG, which will, hopefully, be ready in late April or early May.
Until then, however…
I’m sure I can find something useful to do with myself.

With the exception of a base I don’t know the exact location for, we’re good to go.
~ Frenzy
Okay, all except for two new bases that I do not have the power to add and two battles that aren’t yet written, Update is complete.
Troika, base schematics have been pm’ed to you.
A note, you cannot build a base with a colony booster in orbit.
-Kusu
And we’re good to go with a surprise for those who look carefully.
Last week, folks. It’s been fun!
~ Frenzy
small update, a little purchase and a couple travel.
A reminder, next thursday (3/4) is the last day of FI, make it count!
