Some sad news and some not-so-sad news. Lets start with the sad. Our beloved Cartography Assistant in the Foundry, Oaktown, will be stepping out of his Blue Shoes, resigning from his Position as C.A. and as Team member of Team CC. Oaktown has volunteered countless hundreds and hundreds of hours in the Foundry and on Team CC related activities over the past 16 months. Oaktown's Leadership in the Foundry has certainly crafted it to be what it is today---a thriving machine producing quality maps.
Oaktown, you were a fantastic Leader in the Foundry and will be missed.
While we are losing a CA, the not-so-sad news is that the the ranks of the Foundry Staff are growing! Some of our faithful Foundry contributors are currently being recruited and trained up as Foundry Assistants to help follow foundry threads and stamp maps. The Foundry continues to get busier, with more maps in the system than ever before... it is our hope to maintain the level of quality we have come to expect while keeping the process moving quickly and smoothly.
To this end, and without further ado, please give a warm welcome to:
- thenobodies80, who will be primarily working in the drafting room
Incandenza, who will continue to be focusing on gameplay in the main foundry
wcaclimbing, who will be wielding the graphics stamp and training others how to use it
the.killing.44, who will be concentrating on maps that have entered the final forge
TaCktiX, who will assess maps in the Beta phase before they are fully released into Live Play.
Happy Bananas (etc. etc.)
I'm sure you will all make the process more streamline and have a better flow. I look forward to the Foundry churning out the best maps the site has ever seen in the days, months and years ahead
