Post by DM Justicar - Creator of FRC on Oct 19, 2006 17:37:35 GMT -5
I will try and make this rather exciting announcement brief.
It's been a wonderful few years here at FRC and I wouldn't trade these days for anything in the world. Usurper and I have worked on FRC now for going on three years, maybe longer, truthfully I have lost count.
As NWN2 and FRC2 are taking form it is imperative that we move onto learning the toolkit and beginning the very serious planning stages of FRC2. The time has come to pass the torch to new leadership at FRC to a very deserving compatriot.
DM Ainur aka issendriel has been working diligently on excellent new areas and material for FRC over the last several months. It is at this time I would like to announce DM Ainur will be taking the reigns here at FRC.
DM Ainur and the team will still enjoy the full support of Usurper and myself, but it is now time to step aside and allow those with the ability to properly govern the module do so.
Usurper and I will be working on NWN2/FRC2 and have already begun the very massive task of world building. We are ready to fully involve ourselves in the project and it is for this reason we feel it is best we hand the "keys to the kingdom" over to DM Ainur and the FRC Team.
The module will continue to be fully supported and you can look forward to nothing but improvement moving forward. The lands of Cormyr are 90% finished and content will now be to fill in the blanks and round/flesh the module out.
Please congratulate and welcome DM Ainur and the Team as FRC's new leadership. DM Ainur will head the team from here and take FRC home to it's conclusion.
Cheers!

Congratulations man! this is an exciting announcement, it means that now Justi will get to devote his full time to that NWN2 needle he has had stuck in his arm since he got addicted to his new habit. Good to hear that you and Usurper the man will be banging that thing out. Ainur, I hope you are ready for frequent migraines! lol

I hardly know what to say... I had the feeling that you were somehow, well, eternal Justicar
Anyway, I guess it should be something like congratulations, thanks and good luck + see you around

Wow.
Well, Justicar, though we've had more than our share of disagreements, I will say that this server has been the best one I've ever seen as far as overall build and content.
No other server was built anywhere near as well as FRC.
Congrats, DM Ainur. You have some big shoes to fill!

I wish to congratulate DM Ainur and to thank him for taking this responsiblity and with all of Team FRC. I could not have asked for a better support team. As you know they all bring something special to the table here at FRC, and I hope you all take the time to thank them from time to time. They really are very unique, talented and special folks. As Justicar has said this has been our baby for the last 3 years or so and we'll always have a special place in our hearts you all you that have helped make FRC what it is today. FRC2 will be a huge undertaking, we're definatly not in Oz anymores But we're very exciting at this opportunity and we hope you all are too. So I hope you continue to enjoy FRC and enjoy many adventures in the future. Thank you once again Team FRC and the FRC community.

Thanks Uspurper and Justicar for the hard work you two all put in here for so long. You all have always done an excellent job and no matter what there is a whole lot of players out there and DM's that get to take a huge amount of fun and memories with them and you guys started it and fed it for three dedicated years. Thats some real stamina there and my hats of to you gentlemen. Not only did you keep going so long through the good and the bad but you even handed the reigns over when you knew you could not dedicate as much time and that takes class and an unselfish attitude. Heres to another three years hopefully just as strong on NWN's2/FRC2 As For that Ainur fella...well as long as you guys know that he dresses in a...wait a second? I got years of Blackmail material here...Ainur...call me we got some things to discuss ;D Congratulations man you rock even though I hate you so very very much. As a gift to you from me on your new appointment I now give you permission to smite my character as often as you like...even though you already do that...I just wanted to join in on the reign giving. Seriously man congratulations.

Third: Yeah...you guys are still stuck with me on FRC (1).
See you in game.

I'm always the last to know.
Well, uh.... hi, boss?
To reply to Aodhan's thread, I'd like to remind everyone that NWN2 toolset is apparently a monster so everyone will likely be here a while yet before FRC2 crops up. I personally have decided there's no point in buying it until I have somewhere to play it.

Congrats Ainur, Justi could not have picked a better one to keep his baby safe and ongoing… ;D Justi and Usurp, when you get brain over load from the new toolset drop in and play a little… I was hoping to see more of you two after the death of the lag and near completion of FRC. I cant wait to see what you guys come up with for us in FRC2… and I will still bug you from time to time ;D Take Care

Mwahahaha my little preciouses, so many little preciouses to choose from and torment. Well until FRC2 is up and running, we still have a lot of surprises left on FRC(1). Plus I'm a mac user, so I'll be pretty much stuck here for a long while too, which is by far not a bad thing

Congratulations Ainur, guess I will have to start sending the bribes to you now rather than Justi and Usurp ;o)
A brief message for Justi and Usurp as they struggle with the new technologies of NWN2, dont forget fellas: - That there will be scores of help on the internet from all those smart asses that think they know what your problem is but are actualy procastinating about the stupid little bug that you fix a week ago - That when you trying to get help on a problem NOBODY speaks English - That rendering never works first time - And that there is no better feeling than smashing something large and heavy into your monitor

Hearty congratulation Ainur on elevation to majour Deity. (Kneeling and groveling inserted). The realm could not be in more capable hands. It says something about the dedication and commitment of the builders of FRC to turn over the reins in order to work on the NWK2 version. As fanatic has FRC has been I can not imagine what wonders await with the new game system.

If Ainur is now a Greater Deity (I'm assuming you meant Greater Deity), what are Justi and Usurper? Are they like the two sides of Ao?
What's the divine rank of the other DMs?

Well, I didn't figure you started as a nothing and suddenly rose to Greater Power status. You could have at least let us be celestials. *tucks his tail between his legs*

Whoo hoo, a fellow mac user in charge of FRC 2? Now we can take over the world! He he, congratulations ainur. I still remember the first time i actually had dm interaction that I was aware of and you were it. I was about to leave the server cause I was feeling like i didn't fit in, and now thanks to you you have a brooding champion of silvanus on your hands all the time saying "hey hey, need a druid?" I'm totally thrilled you are taking charge here, and I know i'll be around here for a long time to come as well. ........It's just getting good. And thanks Justicar and Usurper for creating a world for us to play in.
