Staff Holiday Shutdown and Mandalorian Spoilers

[John Locke]

_____________________________________________________________

Greetings!

It’s coming to that time of year again when the Santa-Lorian will visit all the good boys and girls of the galaxy with his helper, Baby Elf-da.

With holidays, and a new year on the horizon (BOOYA 2021) IRL tends to come in like a wrecking ball. We all need to take a break and spend a little time with our families while taking in the spirit of the season. This is true for everyone; including our wonderful Factory and Codex Judges who have stepped up in a big way to volunteer their free time. They both assist members with questions large and small while polishing up the submissions we all love to see. For that service—We could not be more grateful.

Every year, during the holiday season there is a moratorium on Invasions and the Factory and Codex also shut down to give the teams a chance to take part in festivities, rest, and renew. To keep things simple it has been decided that the Codex and Factory shutdown for 2020 will reflect the Invasion Moratorium that was announced back in August.

​

Important Information from the Santa-Lorian: Codex and Factory will be shut down from the period of December 7th 2020 to January 7th 2021. ​ During this period no submissions will be accepted, judged, or moved and any submission that hasn’t been approved will be held in the forum until January 7th of 2021. You may still utilize the Pre-Codex and Pre-Factory to begin working on items at your leisure but please be aware that they will remain within the Pre-Forum until January 7th of 2021.

Spoiler NO SPOILING Alert - Re: The Mandalorian: As we’re all aware by now Season 2 (YAY!) of the Mandalorian has been released on Disney+ in the last day or so. We all want the next big thing when it comes to technology and content. However, not everyone is able to watch the show on the day of release. To that end, neither the Codex nor the Factory will accept ANY submission inspired or drawn from Season 2 of The Mandalorian until after the shutdown ends. This means that you may not submit to the Pre-Codex, the Pre-factory nor to any of the Creation Forums until January 7th 2021. Relevant Spoiler Info: If you want to talk about it you may do so either in DM, the designated channel the SWRP Discord, or in this handy thread here. You can find the general notice about spoilers from Tefka here.​

If you have any Factory or Codex questions or concerns please contact myself or Srina Talon.

Take care. Be safe, be well, be good to each other, and have a fantastic holiday season!

A well earned rest for our sometimes diligent sometimes lethargic codex and factory overlords.

Edit: I'm kidding you guys are incredible.

 

[Caden Evesa]

Just me or a bit of a longer shutdown than usual?

Not complaining, you guys and gals certainly deserve it! Hope it's a good rest for all!

 

[Darth Assimilus]

YO its Halloween get that santa hat outta here

 

[Alban Roble]

The dreaded Factorygeddon. If I don’t make it out, remember me for who I was, not what I became.

Caden Evesa They usually maintain shutdown until a week after New Year's.

 

[Caden Evesa]

Thurion Heavenshield I was thinking more the start date.

Might just be me!

It's lining up with the invasion one, which is set for that time because of the way invasions work.

 

[Okkeus Dainlei]

Question about this. During this shutdown, are we still allowed to post subs in Factory/Codex and use them, even though they haven’t been judged.

Or will any posted sub not be allowed to use?

We love you guys. Thank you for all you do

• During this period no submissions will be accepted, judged, or moved and any submission that hasn’t been approved will be held in the forum until January 7th of 2021.
• You may still utilize the Pre-Codex and Pre-Factory to begin working on items at your leisure but please be aware that they will remain within the Pre-Forum until January 7th of 2021.

Meaning that you will not be able to post subs during that time except to pre-codex/factory.
