Hi everyone, we have a couple of announcements to make:
Commander Names
Firstly, as some of you may have seen on the web app, the ability to input your commander names through the web app will be temporarily shut down on Monday (4th February). This is so we can begin approving/rejecting the existing submissions without people changing their choices mid-way through this process. The majority of our backers have already submitted their commander names, so expect the commander name option to be down for the whole of Monday as we sift through them.
An early look at the current submissions shows that, unsurprisingly, there is exceptionally high demand for certain names. Obviously only one person can get any single name so here is a little heads up about some of the most popular submissions so far:
Shepard (currently most popular!)
Fox
Malcolm Reynolds
Han Solo
Ace Rimmer
Picard
Starbuck
Adama
Skywalker
The Doctor
Kirk
Biggles
Maverick
Bond
Most one-syllable names and surnames (Smith, Jones, Bob & Dave particularly)
Most Colours (White & Black particularly)
If you have any of these names you may want to consider changing it before Monday. Someone has to get them though, so maybe you fancy your chances!
Private Forums & Inputting your Username
The private forums will hopefully be going live next week as well (probably Monday), this includes the Private Backers forum, the DDF and the Writer’s forum. All of which should have things for you to get involved with pretty much straight away.
The important thing for all users to do is to make sure that you have submitted your forum username on the web app exactly the same as it is displayed on here, and to do this before Monday. Usernames are also case-sensitive so keep that in mind. If you fail to input your username correctly on the web app your forum permissions will not be changed and you will more than likely have to wait another 24 hours for the next round of user inputs before we amend this.
Thread Prefixes
Finally, we are going to start adding prefixes to forum threads, which should help to make things more organised, especially as we begin including the community into various decisions in the coming months. You will already be able to see some of these in action and we will continue to add to them as we see fit.
Thanks for reading this and happy posting!
