Farshtey Feed, Kinetics Reasons, Ogd, And Other News
Various little updates on S&T, EM, and other stuff:
1) See the blog entry below for the Denizens Tiebreaker. Sorry for the delay, that crazy ole' real life again. On the plus side, that computer is fixed. Think it'll be a month before it conks out this time? XD And sorry for pushing the tiebreaker off the top spot with this entry; I felt this shouldn't be delayed. I plan to repub the tiebreaker tomorrow morning.
2) I'm for Kinetics as a canon element (there's a poll about it now). If anyone's curious, I gave my reasons, including an extensive list of responses to the most common points being brought up against it, here.
Basically, it creates interesting new story potential that's very much about imagination and use of the brain in battle, which is what IMO it should be about. There's a lot of face-off scenarios it inspires, many of which I mention in there, that I would love to see in the storyline, or have "sanctioned" by canon for fanfic inspiration purposes.
Also, it's the only remaining major type of energy that has not been added to the list, along the lines of gravity, magnetism, light, etc. so to be consistent, it makes sense to be in there.
If loses (and currently it is losing), though, I won't mind. It's in the EM, and in my own fanfics too.
3) The new Farshtey Feed topic in S&T is up and is pinned! Check 'tout!
4) The OGD has been unpinned, also. Open up S&T and have a look at the OGD's new title decoration, BTW, intended to make it easy to spot amongst the other topics (pinned or not). What do yall think? Silly? Useful? Silly AND useful?
Maybe something more like "Official Greg Dialogue ------ { O G D }" would still be easy to spot but less annoying? (And that wouldn't show up in the forum index; the current way does, which is a little annoying.) Or maybe something else?
4) The Greg Team account has no avatar or banner. What should they look like? Any idears?
5) And yes, I know, I keep missing the midnight closure times for polls and such. When I say "closes at midnight", it means "closes no earlier than midnight, and as soon as I have a chance after that point which is probably noon the next day lately". Any votes that sneak in in that time are valid. But I'll try to stop forgetting this.
6) Lotsa people have been begging to know when the Tyrants entry list will get updated.
Guys, unless you're going to be away from a computer for a week anytime soon, please stop worrying about this. The extra editing period will be at least a week after the entry list is updated, so anyone who needs to fix anything will have plenty of time to do so (and someoone will PM those members).
If, on the other hand, you ARE going to be away for a week or more soon, just let me know and I'll try to look at yours early.
