Ongoing Stories by David McCallum #701548



I would initiate a Mexican wave, but it looks a bit ridiculous when it's only one person doing it.


OK, I admit that the current story line may not be to everybodies tastes, my editor included. Even though he has a self confessed soft spot for anything greebly and has been suspiciously quiet on the greebly matter since said greeblies have reared their greebly little faces.


Personally though, love a story line.


And the good thing about this one is that it seems to be coherent and extended.


Previously we have had a week or so of lead up to a particular raid, usualy tied in to the balloon going up for a Caln War. A few missions may change, we will get advance warning of what raid we are getting. We kill each other, do the raid then everything goes back to normal. Rinse and repeat with a different cycling enemy for the next month.


The thing is this one has been different.


Artwork and a competition to name the greebly a decent while ago.


Mission changes, news updates, a linking story line and increased resource payouts.


Then add in increased gift usage and a raid with said greeblies. Quite a hard one for some folks.


But instead of it being all change, the story line carries on and we have a lead in to a revamp of Novum, mission counter resets and a clickathon!!


Love a freebie!!!


OK, it has it's share of early onset bugs, and there's more than one player loosing out on freebies because the post isn't posting properly. Yes, I'm effected.


Complain? Oh heck, how can you... its free stuff that you wouldn't have had.


And it's going to lead to Tory putting out a bit more regularly than she has been.


I think my online libido can cope with that.
