Just to start things off let me point out a few things.
There have been code fixes There have been new gods immorted There have been gods promoted There have been quests There have been arenas
People have said that they would like more quests, arenas, contests People have said that they would like to build zones People have said that SD could benefit from new web pages People have said that SD would benefit from some advertising
People have said that they could achieve all of those things if they were given the levels to do it. Im sorry but that last part confuses me. People have often been promoted for doing those things. But no levels are needed to do them. Just go ahead and do them. Just ask and I can help anyone do any of the above.
So if anyone wishes to help the mud progress then lets discuss these or any other ideas along those lines.

Lets all have a cyclical discussion with Unicus. Anyone knows how this goes.
I dont want you asking for XXXX, until you give me YYYYY. You give me this XXXXX, I might give you YYYYY...
I relish in the fact that maxum tried to help bring the mud alive, and now after he got blasted outta the skies you guys are trying to look like a really go-getting.. a real good guy who wants to help even though you dont.
Maxum wanted to host/run the shadowdale. Unicus just wants to host it til it dies. Uma runs the mud and nothing changes unless he says so. Celestian owns it.
Thats after 20 years what I gathered through conversations.

Maxum asked to do fixes. He got to do fixes. He fixed a lot things, and took out some gold abuses, and did some holiday specials. All greatly appreciated. He also got a few levels for doing it.
What he did not get was level 60 and ownership of SD

BACK to the original subject.... does anyone happen to have a ready list of zones that are "done" but not put in?

I think you are talking to an empty room.

Graveyard was done once it's crash bug was fixed. I think prison of clematis is also pretty much done. Both also seem to be 'placed' so they just need to have the rooms in the areas connecting to them edited to connect up.

I never looked at prison but I know the items from graveyard are fairly balanced vs difficulty of mobs

Graveyard was fixed on maxums build. Maybe you can find a checker to check the zone again and quickly fix it.
I dont like the idea of unicus checking. he hasnt played a real character for any amount of time in years/ever.

It was fixed a while back, it's just not connected, the problem had something to do with a vnum and the 'boss' of the area

I'd check zones if I was 100% sure I wasn't wasting my time. The same goes for building zones and contributing to discussions on fixing and balancing mobs and items.
I bet if someone got a hold of a handful of the idle gods and said "hey we're going to try to get things moving again, but we need help," a handful would be interested.
The main thing required is a dedicated project manager.

I've expressed willingness to both itemcheck and build zones - but only with the knowledge there was a system/process in place and things were going to be implemented.

Thank you. That will be great but no one needs to volunteer yet. Soon though.
You are right that it would do nothing without the high gods. But things are actually looking good along those lines. New servers, renewed projects, renewed help.
I dont want to jinx it by saying too much yet
