<title>New to the game ?</title>
<link>http://www.swcic.net/modules.php?name=News&amp;file=article&amp;sid=133</link>
<description>You just signed up, created a character and it got denied ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, make sure to &lt;strong&gt;check your Private Messages&lt;/strong&gt; here, on the OOC board. The person denying that character normally already told you there, what you need to fix ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you haven't created a character yet, be sure to read &lt;u&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;theword/Accounts&quot;&gt;the rules&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt; about &lt;u&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;theword/Creation&quot;&gt;character creation&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt; first. It'll help you a great deal.&lt;br /&gt;</description>

<title>Yes we are still alive!</title>
<link>http://www.swcic.net/modules.php?name=News&amp;file=article&amp;sid=131</link>
<description>We are working to revamp the Empire and the game. Given the lack of manpower, we hope to lower the scope of the game to make it easier to maintain and play. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All active members of the Empire should register on the &lt;a href=&quot;http://ge.swcic.net/icc4&quot;&gt;ICCv4&lt;/a&gt; and subscribe to our discussion mailing list. We'll have some more details shortly when things are decided.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second, &lt;a href=&quot;forums/modules.php?name=Forums&amp;amp;file=profile&amp;amp;mode=viewprofile&amp;amp;u=5947&quot;&gt;Kooro (Ceden)&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;forums/modules.php?name=Forums&amp;amp;file=profile&amp;amp;mode=viewprofile&amp;amp;u=146&quot;&gt;Mask (Maskan)&lt;/a&gt; will share my role as administrator. We will go through all decisions, to make sure they are fair. If any one of us is away, the other two can pick things up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://ic.swcic.net/holonet&quot;&gt;The Holonet&lt;/a&gt; is alive! Help add to our universe by contributing to our IC wiki. Remember this is strictly In-Character information... please read the disclaimer before editing. Like the forums, it is monitored by our moderators so expect XP and &lt;a href=&quot;theword/Rewards_System&quot;&gt;other rewards&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, you'll notice all those active players on our &lt;a href=&quot;http://ic.swcic.net/forums&quot;&gt;IC boards&lt;/a&gt; got a Chinese New Year bonus. (Yes it was kind-of late New Years bonus, but our Mastergroup leaders have been quite busy)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After more than 5 years, &lt;a href=&quot;http://ic.swcic.net/holonet/Charon&quot;&gt;a simple tribute to Charon&lt;/a&gt; - the guy who started things from his own faith in the players. In &lt;a href=&quot;http://ge.swcic.net/index_archives.php?site=-1&amp;amp;news_id=1&quot;&gt;better words than I can say&lt;/a&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More news to come...&lt;br /&gt;</description>

<title>Do something nice for the New Year!</title>
<link>http://www.swcic.net/modules.php?name=News&amp;file=article&amp;sid=126</link>
<description>You can do something nice for the holiday. And its free too.. no money required.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Donate your idle computer cycles to science. &lt;a href=&quot;http://folding.stanford.edu&quot;&gt;Stanford's Folding@Home&lt;/a&gt; project uses your computer to help simulate protein folding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every good community has a team. So join our &lt;a href=&quot;http://vspx27.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=teampage&amp;amp;teamnum=96904&quot;&gt;SW:Rebellion Network Folding Team&lt;/a&gt; - team# &lt;strong&gt;96904&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You can install it no matter what operating system (Windows / Linux / even PS3...). Just install a client and let it go.</description>

<title>Start of changes...</title>
<link>http://www.swcic.net/modules.php?name=News&amp;file=article&amp;sid=125</link>
<description>As you can tell, we're rolling out some changes for the New Year&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First is a spiffy &lt;a href=&quot;http://ic.swcic.net&quot;&gt;new IC Site design&lt;/a&gt;. I know you guys were tired of the white, I was too... esp with the dark contrast of the OOC site. I really like this new theme with the transparencies, but we need to make it StarWars-y now!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Want to help us out for the new year? I have &lt;a href=&quot;forums/postp9231.html#9231&quot;&gt;some image requests&lt;/a&gt; and I'm thinking about a better reward system too. (Not that you guys don't like XP... of course you do, but we want to try and add some other ideas)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next is the unvailing of our integrated rules wiki - called &lt;a href=&quot;theword&quot;&gt;TheWord&lt;/a&gt; - yes I know, not the best name in the world, but it should be the first place to go to for updates. I want to get all the Saga stuff we want to implement here. Progress will be more transparent as the wiki is updated (you'll see it directly on the front-page without me having to modify it all the time).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Currently trying to get the rest of our site links on TheWord and move over content. Once that is done, we'll tweak and expand the wiki. Next will be an actual in-game wiki... in-character actions and history :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good time to review stuff like our &lt;a href=&quot;theword/Terms_of_Service&quot;&gt;Terms of Service&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;theword/Code_of_Conduct&quot;&gt;Code of Conduct&lt;/a&gt;. Really nothing has changed, respect each other and the people who run this site and we'll be fine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, if you know any cool Star Wars people, point them our way! We won't grow unless you help out. More updates as we work things out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

<description>We'd like to wish &lt;strong&gt;merry christmas&lt;/strong&gt; to all those of our members, that celebrate it &lt;strong&gt;and a happy new year !&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In case you don't, then just enjoy the holidays and the rich food ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2008 will bring a slew of fresh things to our game, like the switch to the new &lt;strong&gt;saga engine&lt;/strong&gt;, that we are working on right now, even as you read this.&lt;br /&gt;Btw, Evaders is on vacation. So, if you need anything admin-wise, make sure to contact me instead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;-the_mask / Uliq&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>
