Shucks, my ingenious arc naming idea didn't work.

You know, that's both a creepy and a possibly really freaking cool idea. Well, until everybody does it for no good story backup. :\

How awesome would it have been to call my arc "$Name and the Warp Weapon Affair" and have it fill in the observer's current character name? That would be, like, automatic player interest!

Yeah, I tried to name my first storyarc "$name's Excellent Adventure!"
That would have been most triumphant.
Heh...I had an odd thought yesterday. You know those old school comics where the hero faces his "dark side"? I thought it would be cool if the mission could just copy the whole player character over as the final boss, and you'd have to face yourself.
Not that they'd probably put a lot of work (which it would likely be) in to make that possible, but it struck me as a cute bit. 
Dec out.

Whoa! You get Lincoln Logs and then you immediately start daydreaming about Robotix?
One step at a time, hoss. Let's get it so the logs don't splinter before we move on to plastic!

Heh, trust me, it was certainly idle daydreaming, followed by a mental "No, no, no....don't get ahead of yourself."
And I had a childish giggle because when I was a kid, "Lincoln Log" was a slang phrase for...um, something of a scatological nature.

Excellent point, although I prefer LEGO's myself.
Right now I'd rate the current system at "Duplo", but I'm hoping someday we get to "Technix"
Why do I do do do things I do
Nobody was ever there for me to talk to
Once I was youngster, pure and true
Now I'm running with a sick, sick crew.
A good thought except that currently the desciptions update glacially slowly so adding overhead onto the process probably isn't a good idea.

You can't please everyone, so lets concentrate on me.
"I can see you...$name..."
or
"The death of $name..."
would both be awesome
