Status update:

[list][*] [b]Invitation Letters[/b] now has an entry in 'The Glossary'. Would've put it in there sooner, but I've had a very stressful couple of weeks. Sort of amazed I've managed this thread as well as I have all things considered.[/list]
[list][*] The current plan's going to be to have the twelve character slots filled in 'The Cast' before this moves forward, and once that's achieved I'll likely post up a notice on the site using the status bar in order to let people know that they've got roughly a week left until this role-play closes application acceptance. Once that week passes, the official role-play will move underway and participating within the IC will stop being non-obligatory. This will likely result in a time skip (I won't do it abruptly and interupt any current character interactions -- I'll time this well), basically leading to all those who plan to take the escort posting themselves going to the appointed location.[/list]
[list][*] Due to the immense workload on my end recently, recovering data due to my PC chucking a fit on me a few days back (I'm still not done recovering, and won't be for a long time, but should at least be able to get things manageable if I can get a few solid days/nights this week in where I can work without being sick as hell or tired as fuck), I've been unable to even start investing time into preparing our map, so there's no immediate rush to head to the escort.

Nevertheless, I've been contemplating our portrait icons in more detail now. While people don't have a streamlined look for portraits in each 'Public CS' (which happened as a result of me giving you freedom in that regard -- technically not everyone followed the rule about making sure the portraits had completely accurate eye/hair/et cetera colour either, but I've ignored that), the icons themselves will need to be consistent in terms of how they look. With this in mind, I'm open to thoughts people have regarding how they could look. Standard procedure on this site seems to be to make them circles (though admittedly this is usually done for IC post header pictures, it seems), but I've also been considering something that looks like a more authentic portrait in order to fit the 'feel' of this role-play. [b]If anyone has thoughts about any of the comments I'm making here, I'd appreciate you bringing them up in the OOC for me.[/b][/list]
