Do you think we could also add troubleshooting the experience system into this mix? I don't want to call it "Serviceable at best, and a Flaming Pinto at worst" but it's kinda screwy about 75% of the time. Especially with the awards (the shuffling around of awards and no way to take back special ones if given on accident), Group rankings, experience points not being given to some people, how you can give away points to some people and not to others etc etc.

I'd like to help out with the apartment design and achievements, but before I do I wanted to check - Kc, is your artist associate going to to most of the design work for the apartments as well? I'd love to help out creating the achievement items, as well as icons for any achievements that may appear under user names.

Go for it! That would be a good area to improve.

ALSO, should this thread be public? It's not too protective and can grab others maybe.

**added Phase 3

[nikvoodoo]

I'll take the wiki and continue to try to break the app.

[cupcakezombie]

I can help with the Wiki and Beta testing

[Creem_Filling]

Does anymore need to be done on the WND wiki? I was trying to add a short little bit about the hosts, but I could not get it formated to where it would fit well at all, and there is already wikis for Britt and Greg, so I wouldn't even be able to write much. My brain may just be shot for tonight, but at the moment I don't know what else to add.
