What a week! But first things first, we have some big news to announce: The staff is hereby initiating a Thomas Reset. We figured that these jokes have gone on for long enough, and we feel that even Thomas is getting tired of it. Furthermore, we expect Thomas to start acting more normal around here rather than doing things like gathering negative karma. It was fun while it lasted. Here's a list of all the changes that are going into effect:
- Thomas' karma has been reset to zero.
- Thomas has been karma-unlocked. You may rate his posts again, but enough with the unofficial karma war.
- Thomas no longer has the Unworthy Avatar. The account preferences page no longer discriminates against Thomas, thus allowing him to change his avatar again.
- Thomas' avatar has been set to I am Thomas avatar from the You-Have-One-Post topic.
- We removed the censor that changed the title of Thomas' profile with "I am not Worthy of this User Profile". His profile description has also been reset (it was a spoiler with tons and tons of large Die smileys and a rickroll at the end).
- Thomas used to have not one, but two Super Stalker awards. They have both been removed.
lol, someone seriously needs to make a "history of thomas" post to explain how all these started out.
The other big news of this week is that our Minecraft server has gone down for good. Actually the server is back up for about 72 hours strictly for the purpose of giving people a chance to download backups. However, even though this is a huge let down, it is also very exciting as we are talking about how to structure the new server.
We are currently in the final week of the Interguild Olympics, which means all the rounds close next Sunday. However, last week's Pentathlon Round will close today at midnight. That round has led to 11 levels being made under that idea, and a lot of them are great.
A few days ago I tried fixing a glitch in the chatbox, but I ended up breaking the chatbox page which wouldn't show custom names. I didn't fix it until like a day later and even then the bug that I set out to fix was still on the loose. Oh well...
Yesterday I posted on the Aeon Update blog about some HUD Designs. It's quite a fascinating discussion.
Yaya wants YOU to play The Nightosphere
Yaya also made a cool walkthrough montage called Recent Caves Of Mine.
The last video of the server before Brohoster died. Looks like part 2 is never coming. How sad.
KoolerTheFirst's The Land of Confusing Levels 1-1 sure has a confusing pair of first ratings.
Shos made a great walkthrough of Deku's Game Maker game Dekuduke the Brave.
The Interguild: Episode 15!
The Interguild: the Videogame?
Fail of the Week!
There weren't too many negative ratings this week. Shos' 10/10 rate was the most negatively rated post, but it was also the only post to get -2 karma this week.
While this didn't get any karma rates yet, I have to say that Yuggy's last-minute pentathlon entry was just hilarious. Far more deserving of Fail of the Week.
Win of the Week!
This was only posted a few hours ago, but Dando has managed to steal the spotlight again with her Thomas poem.

I hope we don't have another karma war. They're very demoralizing. Anyways, I hope Thomas' karma stays positive this time. | | Dekudude |

The Thomas thing was to be honest getting on my nerves. I'm glad it's over. I want to Interguild to seem like a reputable community, instead of one of those joke forums.

The Thomas Legitimacy Rating has to go unless it changes to a positive number. | | Quirvy |

Oh yeah, that was also supposed to go when we reset everything. I guess Livio missed a spot.

lol, I prefer, 'the staff has changed his mind', instead.. which is true, you know
and Q, about the thomas legitimacy, I had a whole line for that in the staff discussion. so blame Haily Livio.
'shos' said: and remove the Thomas legitimacy rating: and stuff of that kind.

Lol, I regret skimming over this update, specifically the "Thomas Reset" part after posting in the 1 post topic. And coming back from vacation, despite their irregular releases, Weekly (sic) Updates are nice ways to get out of reading boatloads of unread posts that I should've read.
COMING SOON: A giant meteor. Please.
Give me +karma. Give me +karma. | | Thomas |

@Yaya
I thought you were just trying to tick me off by posting a link to my user profile in the one post topic. But for not reading the weekly updates, my minus karma rate remains. | | |
