Phase 2 is just beginning. This one depends a bit more on your help and approval than the first phase because I don't have administrative access on the server it involves, and because I didn't break the thing I'm trying to fix in the first place.
I'd like the entire Shireroth website to be wikified. I don't really see any good reason to maintain (as much as you can say we've been maintaining it) a static HTML site when it's so much easier to update a wiki. I can do a lot here, but unlike the forum stuff this needs little technical skill, so I'd prefer to have a task force for handling specific jobs in this matter. If Erik or the rest of you don't think this is a good idea, well, we'll strike it from the plan
.Phase 3 is somewhat more personal. I've never been MiniEx, and I'm so out of the loop of intermicronational affairs that the MNN looks like a zoo of strange names to me these days. Still, there was a time when I was omnipresent, and... I rather liked it, even if it only was omnipresence in off-topic fora. Once the site's been handled (or someone's taken upon themselves the job of handling it), I'm going to ask to be MiniEx. The first thing I plan to do in that office is to clean up our foreign relations list, since most of the nations in it are all dead and a few merely mostly dead. After that, well... it was never very Shirithian to spam every nation out there with requests for treaties, but certainly at least those we have dual citizens (or dual honorary citizens) with should be prodded.
Phase 4 is very personal and involves spending several years writing the Great Straylightian Novel
.... I also had a few words to say about what I really think of this revival, but I haven't really gotten my emotions straight on that issue yet. Thus, I really have only one thing to say right now: If you guys manage to recruit, say, at least two or three spiffy new people (and I mean new people, please don't try to bring Moose or Scott or David back even if they technically are backbringable), you'd bring me much greater peace of mind. You'd also bring me much greater peace of mind if, after phase 3, you all just decided together that the nation is dead and walked away, but it seems unlikely that's going to happen...
