That'd be a fun way for the Main 8 to not be under DGB's authority while additionally dealing with a lot of the Tedd / Noriko / Raven / Edward drama. It'd also get Raven into the story, which would bring Pandora along again...and it would allow for the Main 8 to get some training they desperately need. I rather like that idea.

My only quibble is that plot != goals. Nor would I equate it with "storyline". I'd say Sims has plenty goals, storylines, storytelling opportunities, etc...but not so much plot. A fair amount of the adventure game genre is about finding all the funny ways you can die horribly and brutally. Really depends on which segment you're looking at.

Hmm. There needs to be a little bit more padding between the different elements of the image, I feel (especially width-wise). The words and the character busts are a tad too cramped together. (Nanase is the best example of this. The "e" is almost in her ear. Allow the banners to be a bit wider to give some breathing room). (I'd personally prefer a different font as well, and no gradient, but that's personal bias speaking, not something I feel is broken in the image). EDIT: The old banners had a quick description of the character's personality. Will these as well? I kind of prefer them small like this, but maybe offering one that has the desc would be good too?

I keep getting in, and a few people are there, but not many actually talking.

Yes, I hate quizzes where the answers are too clear. Hnmmm... Maybe a question about instant gratification, with three answers, one where they go for it, one where they delay it for later, and one where they just coast? I dunno, still seems a tad too obvious to me there...(though that might still make for a good question.) We should also probably have an idea about how many questions there should be. I vote for "More than 15, less than 50" to start out with, Anything less and you almost HAVE to be obvious about the answers, because you can't get any real nuance in.

Ah, but she called in backup for when it was go-time, and needed backup of those better versed in the subject to do the research as well. ...honestly, the third option is a bit of a subset of the first, to me. Most safe solutions involve calling in the backup that you know is better at the subject, if calling in backup is an option. I could change the oil of my car just fine. But the safest solution would be to call in an expert: my dad. And he could call in his buddy Rob who's a mechanic at a Kia dealership.

If it weren't for the idea that they're from the other half of EGS-land, I'd be down for the idea of them being alternate universe alternates of Tedd and Elliot/Ellen. Actually, the disco wizard said Magic has no desire to go mainstream and make itself available to everyone. I think what changer was saying is that there may have been one entity that was "Magic" in the start...and then at some point part of it wished to change to make magic available to all, while part wanted the opposite. The end result is either a split creating two magics, or a magic with literal multiple personality disorder.

I feel like we have an example that proves Charlotte and Diane would be the third option: the current Main storyline.

I'm thinking I might get into the next gen, whatever they do with the NX. Would be my first one since Gen II. (I played Diamond back when, but only 5 or 6 hrs or so by borrowing a fat DS from a friend). I'm currently playing Pokémon Zeta, and I'm rather liking it. Mostly 'cause it's the beautiful sprite based stuff....I freakin' hate the 3D art in the later games. It's so hideous. The balance is odd to me due to the games being based on Gen V, so the balance is way different than my Gen I and Gen II experiences.

https://aspe.hhs.gov/2015-poverty-guidelines Persons in family/household Poverty guideline 1 $11,770 2 $15,930 I'd have to guess the same. (Also, I think the poverty guidelines are pre-taxes, not post-taxes.) I make roughly the same amount as Arcanimus (slightly less), but I happen to still live with my folks while doing school. I'm lucky in that way. I don't have health insurance at all, and my car was paid off a few years back, which means I can have only liability coverage.

I'm putting it firmly in the "ehh...not a fan" category for me. Just a limp way of ending the storyline.

I've never actually been able to figure out what it was. Just too pixelated, and my brain could never make it out. I see the turtle now.

Seems to be working fine for me in Cyberfox browser (which means Firefox flavors work fine).

I'd be down for this, though I dunno how much I'd be able to help build it.

Yeah, the fonts look...off. Awkward, in a way. Titles are condensed and bold in bad ways, the forum headers are outlined hideously in white. Also, the report post buttons are gigantic and seem like they're from a different site entirely. One designed 5 or 10 years ago. EDIT: Yeah, boy. The fonts and those buttons are really bad. Woof. I can't seem to get over them. Also, because of the font change the spacing of the stuff in the navbar is off. The house icon is touching the edge of the blue box, and the "Mark site read" link is as well. Additionally, the background color for "drag files here to attach" makes the "choose files" link near impossible to read. (Also, @Zorua pointed out that at the bottom of threads the navigation buttons [ie: "Go To Topic Listing"] should probably have a background color).

This is why game companies and game developers beg people to NOT give them game ideas. Game Devs do NOT want to hear your ideas...they can't legally risk it.

It's been fun, but I'm hoping we move on soon.

Hmm. Possibility of Abraham being from that half of the world as well? Also, I'm guessing something vaguely Arthurian for the Griffin world. Also also, it's pretty amusing seeing "do you know how many laws of physics you're breaking" coming out of the mouth of a flying tiger-bird

Hehe, ninja'd ya by about two days or so :p. I like your measurement for height of them though

This is why it's probably best to not upload directly to forum databases, and instead to host them elsewhere, (While keeping local copies and backups via HDD and online like Backblaze or Crashplan). Forums / forum databases tend to be more likely to go down than something like DeviantArt or Imgur.

He sort of was. It was more like his own art thread, and most of his art happened to be avatars. The Gunnerkrigg thread has lots of people putting lots of avys in, and it's purely used for avatars. Which is why I also like having a thread where you put your previous avatar into a post when you change to a new one. I guess since on these boards you can change your name 3 times a month, we could make a thread about "Forum Identity" and any time you change your name or avatar you would make a post with your current name+avy and what they previously were. Mine's similar, though it's a more recent logo and I've had a few of them throughout my internet life.

Oh, I totally understand that. I tend to use avys I've made myself for that reason. For help with finding appropriate avatars, I do like how Gunnerkrigg Court's forums have an Avatar thread where people will take images from the comic and crop them into avy form. (Gunnerkrigg Forum Thread) It's nice for people to be able to pick like that. And yeah, I know the vast majority of people by faces, not names. I'm just really bad at remembering them. Takes months of knowing a person to really lock in their name. Forums make it even harder, so I rely on Avatars mostly. (I was constantly getting @HarJIT and @hkmaly mixed up until the former got an avatar, for instance. I believe I actively replied to one when meaning to reply to the other once, even).

Yeah, I'm pushing for "get on with it so we can see new things! And Susan, pls!", myself. I noticed this as well. Did he? I thought he said that Tedd "may" show up in it, not that it was a guaranteed thing...

Utahraptor is a different genus than Velociraptor. Additionally, Dromaesaurines (Deinonychus and Utahraptor, among others) are a different branch than Velociraptorines. So, being a bit pedantic, there are no giant Velociraptors, Asian or no. The little guys were about the size of a German Shepard. Would come up just above the average human male's knee if it was standing normally. (Though including tail would be roughly 2m long). But if you were speaking of Utahraptor, then yes, those guys are "American" (for values of American that mean "fossils found in modern America" ). These guys were big, unlike Velociraptor. Standing normally they'd be taller than the average human, and including tail would be roughly 7m long. About the size of a Polar Bear. Another "American" raptor was Deinonychus, the closest thing we know of to Jurassic Park's Velociraptor in size. I believe that all Velociraptors have been Asian, though, with the majority of them being found in Mongolia. Additionally, Dromaesaurines, like Velociraptorines, were almost certainly feathered creatures. We have confirmation of such in Velociraptors, and strong strong evidence for the others in these groups.

Ah, yes. That was it. I knew your original name was something relating to an unhappy mood. I kept thinking it was "Something_Wrath", but knew that wasn't it.
