Quote:Yeah never ever ever count on PAX not to sell out. Buy now. I've had mine and Negami's passes since they were first offered. We'll definitely be there again.Originally Posted by BlackSun17
Smart idea Mouse!
Given that the convention is in the new BCEC, with over 2x the space of last year's show, tickets should be readily available up until the convention.
However, I bought my 3 Day pass last week cause I like to play it safe.... -

If Your Bio Contains: Orientation and status (single/taken/engaged/married)
You will be assumed to be an ERPer unless stated otherwise. You will get invites to play Uno. Yes, even if your character's married.
So because one of my characters is married, and her bio states that she wears a discreet wedding band I'm assumed to be a ERPer?
Uh, no.
I tend to try and keep my character Bios as a brief history description and note anything special about them then include their VV page link for more information. Example of said character mentioned above:
But they change depending on the character to more of less information. I'd personally rather not see people use some uniformed set of guidelines to define their Bio, I enjoy the variety and interesting things people do with 1024 characters.Quote:[Mature RP'er] [Recognizable Public Figured - First Rikti War Survivor, Up and Coming Businesswoman] [Wears a Modest Wedding Band]

I saw a glass suicide once. I was seven and we went out to Chilis. Apparently the glass was hot and it's contents were cold, for about five minutes you could hear what sounded like ice cracking and then all of a sudden, <[Smash]>, thing just goes on and offs itself.
Mmmm thermal shock. -
New Content Spoiler Tag
Ever wanted to hide spoilers on your content pages? Well now you can. A new feature has been added to VirtueVerse and UnionVerse that will allow users to wrap parts of their pages in spoiler tags. That content will then be hidden unless the viewer clicks the button to view it.
You can see this in action on the VirtueVerse Getting Started page.
Usage:
Content that appears normally.
<spoiler>Content that is hidden!</spoiler>
More content that appears normally. -

I've since stopped, by the by. Ran out of BOJ. Which is a shame cause I still got half a bottle of vodka left.

I actually have two accounts on formspring. One is not IC, one is. Posted about that already.
Ransim - OOC account for me as the admin for VV (consequently this one is on my VV user page)
AzureTracer - IC account for Azure one of my characters. -
Oy I'm never going to catch up at this rate.
52 questions and rising! -
Woo! I look forward to catching you guys again at PAX East in a couple months. I'll be better prepared for the live tweeting this time with my new phone.

General FYI: I came home tanked and not having eaten jack all day. 3-4 more Screwdrivers without soiling my KB in the process, I'm past the point where you wanna RP with me if you see me. Though I can still look, act and type straight. I think I just hugged a catgirl though and told her that I loved her.
That really begs to exist in someone's signature as a quote. -
Looks like I'll be spending tomorrow playing catch up. Darn weekends and having a life.
I'm really enjoying reading the responses when I don't have time to reply myself. -
Just a heads up, someone asked me but I figured I'd mention it here.
http://www.formspring.me/Ransim <--- this account is totally OOC and I'm going to use it primarily for questions people have about VirtueVerse -

Brat needs a proper job. The rest of us who don't sleep either have one too. And if it's just being designated drinker. Anyways I'm sure you would. Well, not sure if you're into the whole Neofolk/Medieval thing or whether you've heard of my man Rummelsnuff (though I do pimp him on here once in a while), but Gideon definitely wouldn't. Ah well.
Rummelsnuff is a new one for me, but actually quite good. Passing that one on to Negami too. Rather then turn this whole thread into music, which I could really do, just PM me a bunch of stuff and I'll check it out >_< I also just started using Last.fm too. I like music, a lot, and I'm always looking for more stuff. But again I listen to pretty much anything, I think country is the only genre I don't care much for.
Also how did I wake up to 12 questions waiting for me! *dies* -
Quote:I would probably get it... actually depending on what it was Azure might, she has a lot of free time on her hands since she doesn't sleep ever.Originally Posted by Eisregen_NA
One thing I really hate about the thing is the music exchanging bits. All my best and most profound stuff is in German and relatively obscure. No way Gideon would really get that and use it.
I am glad at least the more wacky things I can post are right up Azure's alley. Like Peelander-Z. -
We should start a betting pool. What will he decimate his keyboard with next?
And actually if its just vodka alone it shouldn't destroy the keyboard as long as you let it dry. I've used vodka to clean stuff... though obviously cheap vodka. -

I tried getting my SG to start doing IC Facebook pages but so few people actually did it it didn't seem worthwhile.

Quote:I think that needs to be an entirely separately named thread though since this one is specifically formspring.Originally Posted by Premonitions
If we get it stickied, this should be the all-around In-character Social Networking thread, for twitter, Myspace, facebook, e.t.c.
I've personally never used any of the others IC. -

It could be worse, you could have spilled it on a laptop keyboard. My mother has destroyed multiple laptops that way.

Right so I was celebrating new outlines on about 40% of my back with a nicecivilized glass when it suicided into my keyboard. Should have a new one soon, just letting peopleknow. Currently using Windows clicky kb hing.

Just sayin.
This is actually why I have an el cheapo spare I keep around, mostly for doing new computer builds but useful if my keyboard dies. -
We should get the OP updated with a list of everyone's formspring accounts and get this thread stickied. I've been trying to follow everyone myself.

Quote:I think it just hated me earlier. Seems to be working now.Originally Posted by Eisregen_NA
Working fine for me. Was able to send you a Q without a hitch.

I think its broke its giving me some weird processing error if I try to send questions.

I've modified the login page for the wiki. I've temporarily removed ReCaptcha which appears to have been subverted and replaced it with some common sense City of Heroes questions.
I will try to change these questions periodically and I'm looking now to see if I can get recaptcha working a long with the question. We've had a sudden influx of spammers recently and the question might be better at stopping them if they've been managing to get past ReCaptcha.
I have also set up a formspring account for myself which is visible on my user page. You can ask me VV questions there or put your requests in for new stuff. Its also a place to use if you want to report anything bad going on. -
The RSS Feed for questions has some weird display issues but I added it to Azure's page on VirtueVerse.
I really wish I could use some sort of client with this but I haven't found one that supports it. Anyone find a desktop client for it? It seems HootSuite is working on integration for it but who knows how thats going to be.
SpringDroid is pretty good for android phones though, was using it to answer stuff while commuting last night.
/em sadface that their API is private and I can't just roll my own interface.
Edit: Apparently Seesmic has a plugin for formspring, so I guess lets see if they fixed their horrible memory issues.
