I really think naming the styles in the poll and providing on-site examples is a better idea. As it is, it's a little annoying to access and not uniform (and thus likely to decrease the number of...

I mean, I'm really not possessive of the work I did on Salvar. The current writing staff can build on what's there or discard it or whatever. Although I'm glad it seems you found it somewhat...

@Jack: Haha, the only thing I can really tell you is that basing your character around one element gets really old after a while (and I have nine levels of experience with that). I mean, there's...

I realized the other day that it's been a little over nine years (no kidding) since I first started role-playing on Althanas. Granted, I haven't done much of anything here since about 2008/9. But I...

((This is a solo quest.))

"Any child can see that the map is not the ground. You cannot make a 'reliable' map. A map, like a scientific theory, or consciousness itself, is no more than a dream of...

Worked in the Olympics. Give it a shot!

Ahaha, that is pretty clever.

I would like to point out that there is an essay contest(!) associated with the film for middle and high school students. Alas, I am too old. But I highly encourage...

What's really sad is that whenever I look at "local favorites" on Netflix, half of what comes up are movies like this. Some people genuinely enjoy watching this kind of thing.

But shouldn't the...

I think BSG is pretty great. I started catching up with it during season 3 and have been watching it live this last season. I'm sad that it's over because now I'm not sure what Friday-airing show...

I do. I love music but I'm a terrible multitasker. Writing to music just slows me down or distracts me even if it's pretty laid back. I prefer to write to silence. If people are talking around me...

I've never read the graphic novel although I do plan to. I saw the movie thinking I probably would not like it, but I did like it (although I had some problems with it.) The writing seemed clunky...

That's not what I was referring to, exactly.

In an interview, Card contextualized Ender's inadvertent genocide as having achieved "the least possible amount of violence" and being a good and moral...

I've read Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow, both when I was younger. I don't remember how I felt about Ender's Shadow but the conceit involved is one I'm wary of. I remember enjoying Ender's Game...

I think you should use Gouda.

I love Mervyn Peake. The Gormenghast books are amazing.

Recently I have read The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss, which I did not like, and Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood, which I did...

It's always nice to be remembered for what I consider my greatest achievement.



... Wait, you're still around? I had no idea.

Sighter and I did a whole battle (with actual complete...

I dunno, if you look at past predictions of the future most of them look pretty ridiculous by today's standards. At least when people were trying to predict the future as a whole. When looking at...

Reminds me of this: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/28/dining/28bacon.html?_r=1&scp=2&sq=bacon&st=cse.

When I was the Regions Admin (and when I was working on the FQ with Sighter) we considered the FQ maps to be the official maps of Althanas and the map that Santh made being out of date. Y'all are...

I'm not the Salvar writer anymore, so I'm not sure how much of what I was doing is still accurate. Christoph is the Salvar writer now. Your best bet would be to try to get in touch with him about...

No, it shouldn't. The Dialogue score isn't intended to make you write dialogue in any one way--just whatever way is most appropriate to your writing style and your character. If you're really...

I have been "back" for a few months and I have done one ten-post solo thread and made a handful of OOC posts. So I guess I've actually been as active as I ever was.

I am really surprised I'm still in the top 10, considering how inactive I am.

Well, it's now December. How did NaNoWriMo turn out for everyone this year?

I would follow the advice of Max Brooks and take an M1 Carbine and a machete. Dude knows what he's talking about.
