Put my down for one of those 10 plays, no charge lol

I was actually inferring it from Aeon's comment in the Becky's Revenge gets a DC' thread:

but I see that this doesn't strictly state that the already-played arcs are now out of the running.

However, if they're playing 4-5 per month and only awarding 1 per month,, well, do the math. By the end of the year we'll have 5 new DCs and 20-odd arcs which have been played with no DC. A big problem I see with that is that without a 'yes/no' indication, those authors are left hanging, forever, possibly. How long is the back-burner? If Fear and Loathing on Striga has no DC by December, is it still on the list? At the end of next year, we'll have 17 new DCs and 68-85 arcs in a 'is it worthy of DC or not?' limbo.

It might have been fairer for this to have been delivered in a more clear manner, ie "We played [arc X] this week, and we have decided to award it a DC Yay!' or 'We played [arc X] this week, and although it has many merits, we feel it doesn't quite fit into the very best., so we won't be awarding it a DC'

That would obviously engender 'discussion', butat least the authors would know where they stood.

LOl. I'm going to state for the record before there's an fire that I'm British, and i don't think there's anything particularly wrong about American English. I do have a few small personal dislikes ('to grow' a company being my most hated lol), but I've also got pet hates in British English too.

I also use 'Did you see the movie yet?' sometimes without any guilt lol.

Eco.

ROFL. I love British English.

Both, depending on who's viewpoint you're looking from

Ps I don't know if it's whatsername in the space suit on the beach in Arizona, but i assume it is. It would fit the reverse symmetry thing Moffat's got going on.

You could probably do a robo-man somehow.

According to the BBC (and pretty much common knowledge among DW fans), the Cushing movies (thete were two iirc) are not canonical.

Eco

I am unashamedly a massive DW nerd, and I'll fight to the death to argue against the Doctor's species being Gallifreyans who include a class called the Timelords ROFL

I'll go watch some old episodes and dig into my library to find some evidence

Eco.

Didn't you read my OP?

I just remembered that the Fourth Doctor has a swordfight in the Androids of Tara, too. It's more swashbuckling than Broadsword, though, so if we ever get a Swashbuckling set, a few of those powers would do. Come to think of it, Tennant's Doc has a bit more of a Broadsword-ey swordfight in The Christmas Invasion, although he's not as good at it as Tom's Doctor was.

Eco

The 'looking into the untempered schism' thing is from new who, which is canonical, yes, but the whole of classic who treats the Time Lords as an wntore species rather than a caste or class of one.

Eco

This thread is just for theoretical discussion; I think that making clones of other peoples IPs is unoriginal and pointless.

Eco

Whenever he talks about his people, he uses language which strongly implies that the Time Lords are all of the natives of Gallifrey, not just the Doctor and the Master and the High Council etc. Time Lords can regenerate and they have two hearts; it would be wierd if te Imperial Guard were a different species, I think.

I think even the toad sweepers on Gallifrey can regenerate!

E o

Spoilers!

The Gallifreyan Imperial Guard or whatever they were called had ray guns of some kind. If we had a raygun set or sth we could make them, maybe.

This reminds me, I wish there were Gallifreyan-style curly cowl back jobbies like the Timelords wear in the costume creator.

i'm only quoting you as a representative sample, my commemt below is not directed at you specifically.

In my opinion, people (anyone) should be able to dress pretty much how they want without fear of prejudice directed at them. The poster earlier for example who dressed like a 'scary biker', shpuld be treated the same as a 'city gent'.

Likewise, women should be able to wear what they want without automatically being labelled as tarts - with the caveat that there is a line which shouldn't be crossed - said line depending on culture and context. Bare breasts on a San Tropez beach are not the same as bare breasts in Canterburu Cathedral on a sunday.

A wan in a bikini top in a grocery store on a hot day (or even not on a hot day if she wants) shouldn't be accused of anything. If we can't see her nips, she's not doing anything wrong.

However, in my opinion, looking at other people isn't against the law either, and unless the perpetrator is jumping up and down whistling and going 'arooga!' with his tongue hanging out, I don't believe that women's offense at being looked at is entirely justified. On the occasions I've caught eye contact with a strange woman in public and smiled, I've always hot a smile in return. It strikes me as odd that it's ok to look at sbs bare naked face but not ok to look at a clothed part of the body. There's sth special about a lady's boobs and bottom?

For myself, bikini tops are decidedly 'meh'. If I saw an attractive woman on the subway wearing a victorian dress with bustle, however, I'd be all 'ka-chinggg!' internally even if I was merely looking, deadpan, from a safe distance.
