RRVGG RIFTS® Gallery Updates

Pandering, Deleting Old Files & More Revision
Topic: The RRVGG RIFTS Gallery

Ugh, yesterday and the day before positively sucked @$$. Our landlord is planning on selling this property to a new owner that will at the very least honor our new 21 month lease. (Why 21? Your' guess is as good as mine, I didn't pen the document, I just put my John Hancock on it and keep paying the bill!)

Anyway so we spent the better part of the day before yesterday polishing up the place so it'd look all nice and neat as the landlord wanted to show the property to a prospective buyer. For those of you unaware this Webmaster happens to have two offspring whom both positively detest cleaning so that was a nightmare in and of itself and even then I didn't feel they got their rooms in a truly presentable condition. He's doing another showing on Sunday. The real rub? We aren't allowed to be AT our home for the 10-20 minute showing we even have to pack up the pets and take them with. C'est la vie, as they said in "Old France."

As to the updates for late yesterday and today; As can be seen below there is now only one link to Past Updates as opposed to six. There is no longer a text limit on notepad apparently and so I was able to fit all the updates from 1999-2013 when I made the last entry significant enough to put on the updates page. I also removed the individual "Campaign Badges" for players that had joined us in the past from Tripod altogether. For some reason or another several had already been removed by Tripod. They also deleted most of our player's photographs, which were taken expressly for the RRVGG website. I can only guess this is because it displayed many of us holding swords, a rifle and Gimli's axe in one case! I don't remember seeing anything like that in the Tripod Terms of Use Policy and never received any warnings but what can you do once they're gone and the hard drive that originally had them was fried?

I updated and revised our Campaigns page, which is linked towards the bottom of the RRVGG site, which talks about some of our more noteworthy campaigns. While I do not have any Current Campaigns to display yet I have several that I'm juggling ideas for, for our prospective two Player/one Game Master group.

I also discovered a pile of no longer used images and files all over the RRVGG RIFTS® Gallery folder within Tripod and tossed them.

You may find that under S-Mart (Which will gradually be changed to "The Royal Armory of K'Assai Antoh,") K'Assai Antoh being the phonetic spelling for the Dalmiree language that translates to "Star of the Desert," will contain broken links pertaining to the Allied Naval Fleet/Joint Naval Fleet.

This munchkin creation was dissolved in our campaign but for The RRVGG RIFTS® Gallery will not remain mentioned at all. There may even be references regarding it and/or Kyatashiro remaining in far flung corners of the Gallery. There are many references to the topic within the Past Updates page as I did spend a considerable amount of time working on these topics. I'll gradually be weeding these mentions out as I continue digging further and further into the website updating, editing, coding and adding material. I have many years worth of materials to edit and add.
