Combat Master Quick-Update: CS 2.0 / ACC
Character Sheet 2.0 is moving along. I am confident that everything should be implemented by this Monday morning (August 10, 2015 - 12:01 AM EST). The team is working really well, and I’m proud of the efficiency we are moving with. With that said, I’d like to make two quick announcements.
Character Sheet Approval
Per the Voice of the Brotherhood, Character Sheets will still be reviewed as CS 2.0 rolls out. Some of the changes we are making to the backend will “Invalidate” your Character Sheets. This won’t get rid of any of your data/writing, but it will force you to make changes when you go to update and submit a new or revised Character Sheet.
We ask that you be a.) patient with the process and b.) let us know if you see anything that is off or not working. The team can be reached at: djb-voice-staff.googlegroups.com
Some of the changes affect the way that Species are played as well. So, if you are planning a new character, or a major revamp, I’d suggest waiting until Monday before submitting a new sheet, and again being patient with us as we make sure everything transitions smoothly.
ACC Freeze
Effective immediately, I am calling for a temporary freeze on new ACC matches. James will be temporarily disabling Open Challenges, and I will be closing any matches that are created after the posting of this notice but prior to James being able to disable Challenges on the backend.
The closure will be effective through 8/16/2015. This closure will ensure that we have a clear and definitive line of how your matches will be graded based on 1.0 vs 2.0.
- All existing and ongoing matches may continue as normal and can still be concluded and finished.
- Any match ongoing prior to this notice will hereby be graded under Character Sheets 1.0.
- Any match going forward after 8/16/2015 will be graded under Character Sheet 2.0 guidelines.
This will also give the ACC Staff time to evaluate a few things with the grading rubric and how things will change as a result of CS 2.0 changes. The ACC is getting more and more popular, and we just want to make sure we’re delivering the best possible experience for you, the members. We will evaluate our team, and I might put out a call for additional judges.
I appreciate the patience and understanding. Thanks!
One More Thing
I am running a Logo Redesign Contest. Details can be found within, but needless to say I’m looking forward to seeing what ideas our more artistically-inclined members can come up with.
Even for those that are not... and especially for new Journeyman looking to check off some Knight-trial checkmarks, this is a fairly easy competition to submit to. Drawing a circle and putting a bunch of squiggly lines in it technically counts as a logo. Keep that in mind.
That’s all for now. Any questions, you know where to find me.

Accurate depiction of the staff exercising old ACC stuff.
Thanks for the update, Wally! Come at me gfx bros.
Wally, two questions:
1) With the ACC growing in popularity will you be looking to add any additional judges in the near future and
2) Any spoilers on when the next ACC event will be?
Oh and
1.) I might be putting out a call for more judges, yes. It's something I'm evaluating.
2.) Soon.
+1 for Shia.
Ooh ACC judging....eyes sparkle as Bentre thinks about it. thanks for the update and I am really digging all the work y'all have been putting in and I am practically watching the clock until the new changes drop.
I have to admit the ACC freeze saddens me on one hand...
Ahhh the chance to become ACC judge. Much excitment!
I noticed that Human is "simply another face in the crowd" now instead of the boost in survival. Will there be other "human" attributes to chose from? I guess I will look at these tomrrow! Thx guys! :)
Humans have 2 Feats, just like every other species. I will cover this in my upcoming report.
