screeny and half a drawing makes it a full admission
She's done Steel Guard, get over it! (ooer )

[ QUOTE ]
You've never drawn Steel Guard really. He's appeared in the ST poster but that was a screeny

[/ QUOTE ]
I've seen him napping during a ST meeting... diferent capes?

[ QUOTE ]
Shadowghost, Thanks for the constructive criticism (at least that's what i've interpreted it as )

[/ QUOTE ]
I'm glad you took it the way it was intended

Edit: I'll repeat my original comment: Good! (except for the calander)

[ QUOTE ]
Shadowghost... wha?

[/ QUOTE ]
Hmmm, how best to respond to complete bafflment... I have 3 options in this, ask you to specify what baffles you and explain that better, or explain it fully, in more detail.. or make a guess and hope for the best.

I'll take option 4: Explain a bit and ask

Ask yourself this question: What do you want a calander to do?

For me, it's to check the date, usually present or future.
Currently, this calander is good for only one thing: keeping track of the present day, so long as you cross out the square for yesterday... and try not to get confused when a month has 31 days.

I like to know, for instance, what day November 22, 2007 is.
So, I check the calander.
I check this one, and I learn that November 22, 2007 is... November 22nd, not much help there, as I already knew that.
edit: oh, and that Miss November is hot, not what I was looking for, but always a bonus

Now, if I check the calander on my mobile, I get something like this and I'll learn that in 2007, my birthday will fall on a Thursday. Which was the information I was looking for.

This way, I can look up those important dates that are like "the second Sunday in ..." or "the last X of Y"

edit: final words...
I can't believe I've taken the time to make such a long reply to such a short post... and taken the time to recreate that November calander... oh well

I like it... but not as a calander

The pictures, the bios, yes, they're good, but the calander part... I find it lacking

reasons why:
only 30 squars, so the 31st has to be shared...
it's for 2007, because it says so and yet... other then that it could be any year.
It's like a birthday calander, except, there's not really any room to write names on it

that said, I did enjoy the pictures... although, now I think of it... in the first half one is named to usually be with one, who doesn't show up until November?
Odd choice

Conclusion: Good! (but not as a calander)

*sniff* *daps at eye with tissue* Ouch! oooh, that smarts...

Anyway... Good piece again, I'm trying hard to find some way to improve on it, but... all I can think off is that there are many diary entries without interruption.. but.. well, that's logical, really...

Excelent work, good read. Nice to see the 'present' in with the past. Keep it up!

I find that very hard to fathom... to be honest... ED came before CoV, and Max had been lvl 49.4 (or was it 49.6?) since then, until much, much later...
There wasn't any longbow back when Max was an iccle lvl 16!

Disclaimer: All this is based on the world as I know it, it may or may not be true. YMMV.

Ah, so close...

Jess, according to the list given:
(V) 1: be female
(V) 2: have a thing for tails
(V) a near suicidal disregard for your own personal well-being
(X) love for explosions

(V) growing old and retiring with a family

3 pro, 2 con... I guess the cons weigh heavier, seeing as she's not yet gowing old, but is semi-retired with a family


edit: back on track, I whole heartedly agree with the 'getting to know them' first. And not just the 'public' figures of a SG, but most of them. And it's more important that you get alond OOC then that you get along IC, the lather can be smoothed over with the first a lot easier then the other way aroud

Yes, I did.

Magic Aegis: +50
Bookshelf:__ [u]+50[u]
total produced : +100

Arcane Basic Telepad: -25
Arcane Basic Telepad: -25
Arcane beacon: ........ -05
Arcane beacon: ........ -05
Arcane beacon: ........ -05
Arcane beacon: ........ -05
Resurrectoin Circle:....[u] -25[u]
Arcane consumption:.. -95

Tech Basic telepad: -25
Tech Basic telepad: -25 (not active)
Tech beacon......... -05
Tech beacon.........[u] -05[u]
Tech consumption:. -60

Total consumption: -155

As you can see, about half more is consumed then is produced. Everything except the last placed telepad is working as it should. Hmmm... I wonder if the telepad will come online if I sell a beacon... that will the the 50% extra point... Will test this in the afternoon

I wouldn't try this with defences, though...

Edit: with active all at once, I meant activated by a player. So, it might be a problem if all telepads are activated at the same time (from a realism point of view).
Hmmm, to explain... a Telepad consumes 25, as is listed.. what if that's the consumption on activate, while the passive is more like 5 or 10 or so?

Quick heads up I'd like to share...

Running a small SG (5 players, the most active being myself and not so at that...)

I have the control to run a medipad, 2 teleport pads and 3 beacons...

and yet I have 4 teleport pads, of which 3 are up and running, 6 working beacons and a working medipad.

It could be a bug, but as not everything needs to be activate all at once, I can see it as a design that you can have some grace control (not sure about power, never having had that problem)

Also, IIRC, the advanced control Aux need a more advanced main control then the basic one.

As I really don't know what aspects of the lives of the characters I will be including in the story, I may end up having also other questionable excerpts.

You seem to know a bit of what would and what would not be "questionable excerpts".

I know that I, for one, don't like reading about most in that list.
As such, I've stopped reading stories on these boards all together: too many like to put in things I would rather avoid

By the way, Inny left his bedroom light on and Jester wants him to look at the bill...

I'm sooo glad Jess isn't handling those bills anymore!

hehe, nice one
you're right, it does have that pose to it, doesn't it?

Hmmm... hard to say...
Although I fully imagine Winter will cause devistation with what ever she tries, sooner or later.
Maybe if she did that to her friends by accident will she learn a valuable lesson

None of you tell me anything these days.

[/ QUOTE ]

YOU think that YOU are surprised by that news!?!?

Then again, better her pregnant than Coile...

[/ QUOTE ]

More to the point, it better BE Coile's

[/ QUOTE ]

Seeing how many girls circle around - it better be Sword.

I just hope it's not the sword...
hmmm....
Is that where daggers come from?

Then unless it bonded with someone else, or is within a shadow cyst crystal, it's dead. Nictus cannot exist in the unbound form for very long.

Your right. You know your right. we know it. Let it go?

Let what go?
Is pointing something out suddonly something that needs to be 'let go'?

[ QUOTE ]
It's complicated.

[/ QUOTE ]
It always is when what little ingame canon we have (and is obscured from most) conflicts with player ideas
It often requires some quick thinking and often a "ok, so I was wrong, I'm going to do it any way" (oh, for a slightly serious note... the first part in that is often needed for other players to feel not/less disgruntled about the second part)

Nope, not going to... they know who they are and if not... well...
Either their thick or in blissful ignorance. And I don't like to disturb either conditions

I think I've noticed Pocket D serving also some snacks aside of drinks. If Kit comes by to have a bite there Coile will have the chance to observe... (now WHY he would do that I don't know) Kit eating

Or... he could go by the statue to observe (now WHY he would do that I don't know)

[ QUOTE ]
Yeah, this story is going to be significant in the real backstories of oh, about four characters.

I'm going to help Syra write it incidentally. And by help I mean sit in the back of the car and repeatedly go "you're doing it wrong!". >_>

If you add the odd "try this" in there, it'll be fine

Putting down my controller as a probable... sadly no guarentee yet
