Just let me know.

He starts his vacation today, though. You may be waiting a bit.

Game Masters Those who are running a serious game may ask to be granted the forum 'Game Master' rank for the duration of the game. This rank enables the person running the game to exercise moderative powers in their threads . Game masters may use it for organizational purposes and to enhance the qu...

Oh yeah, can i be the first game master? i've got a game i want to do, and i want to get started ASAP, if that's alright.

Have patience. Figarou will unlock it in a week or so when he comes back.

Okay, how does this sound? -------------------------------- Subject: Please Read: Formal Role-Playing This section is for players and storytellers/game masters who are willing to place themselves under stricter guidelines and commitments for the sake of the game. Some of these requirements may inclu...

(However...I do not support the attitude of "Revenge", or the idea that it is somehow FUN to watch others screw up and suffer public humiliation. ...it may be human nature to commonly wish ill upon those who displease us, but it's still messed up and wrong.) I suppose you're right. I don'...

Seriously though, I think the title of Game master should only go to the person who is currently running a structured game... And were they to be given limited Mod powers it might smooth things along, but just in the RP forums. I agree. The whole point to the existence of the Game Master rank is to...

You know, I never did understand the point of language censors. Is '(Bleep)' or 'F*&!' really any less offensive when the context is obvious? Not to me. I can only think of two good reasons for a language filter: 1) Remind the poster that they've crossed the line so that they can re-think their ...

That's pretty nifty, Figarou. I think people might request to be a GM just for that rank image. :thpt2: Unless the rank image can be made to only show up in those two forums, something a bit less outstanding might be in order. Heh. http://img164.imageshack.us/img164/1461/gamemasterbt6.jpg Not much d...

Also for the role-playing forum, I think the forum should be split. The reason why is that we mainly have two types of RP games: the 'post whenever you want, and we don't have a Game Master or official lore' type, which can be fun but are ususally informal, and the "There's a universe and a ba...

Ok... I see your point. All I have to do is ignore them. Its a very simple task. Yeah....very simple. Yup...simple indeed. Now try and get everyone else to do the same. (Ignoring the trolls and the wanna be's) That's exactly the trouble, isn't it? Heh. In a way, you could say that's what I was tryi...

It's a simple matter of frequency. Sure, that happening to a random person wouldn't provoke the kind of reaction it does here, but if people kept coming up and doing that with the frequency it happens here, a negative reaction would be expected. Really, it's the online equivlent of something like p...

Why does it bother us when someone claims to be a werewolf? If someone went up to a random passerby and claimed to be a werewolf, he'd probably accomplish nothing more than to get himself laughed at, or ignored at best. Especially when (as expected) he is unable to provide any shred of proof. Howeve...

Um, you still like werewolves right? :( Now that I look on it, they've always been a crutch, representative (in the ideal form I imagined them) of everything I wanted to be but wasn't: healthy, agile, alive in the moment, powerful, skillful, free, passionate and emotional, beautiful creatures. And ...

I know I haven't been around lately. Just to let you guys know what's going on: Last quarter was killer. On the bright side, I've cultivated the worthwhile habit of waking up at 5am every day. Shortly after graduating, I moved to Seattle to take a position as a software developer and assistant resea...

A model is a model is a model, and any model of anything complex or not well understood is very probably flawed. Call it a hypotheses; maybe even call it a theory, or put whatever label on it that you want--there's always room for improvement. Right, but even if the model is flawed, does it mater i...

I haven't had the time to read this whole argument (and argument it seems to be, not debate!), but I have a few things I'd like to say whiile I'm taking a break from project busy-work. Some of the things Vuldari said struck a chord with me. Not because he has made me think in a different way, but ra...

I think we're in far too deep at this point. :( All that means, I think, is that we're in for an unpleasant ride no matter which path we choose. I don't disagree: keeping secrets may very well be the best choice of action right now. I just wish it had never come to that point. From my point of view...

(BTW i haven't seen any posts by him lately. Does any one know what is going on?) Yeah, sorry. This past month or so has been exceptionally busy. In fact, for at least the past three weeks I haven't gotten much more than 4~5 hours of sleep a night. I was so exhausted after my colloquium presentatio...

Every president, and every government in every country does this. To all the Bush-Haters, this goes so much deeper than the Bush administration. Do you honestly think this is only a recent thing? Sugarcoating the truth or even subtlely lying to the people is something common to all governments. I a...

At first I really hated the name, but -- surprise, surprise -- it's growing on me and I kind of like it now. As for the console itself, it's probably going to be the only one of the three I buy. I've always liked the Playstation best in the past, but Sony's completely alienated their fan base on thi...

is this game still alive? cause i want in I would love to see the game continue. I can't host for a while, though. Finals are coming up, and I'll be relocating to Seattle soon for a software development position after I graduate this quarter. Busy, busy, busy. I've barely had time to think this who...

Sorry I haven't been around lately. This quarter is really killing me. I'll probably be scarce for a while yet.

Congrats to Lupin -- a good choice for the job.

If you could show me some other wolfy stuff it'd rock! I don't have a whole lot of free time to do it myself 'cause of school n' stuff... And Wolf stuff would rock :P This is what a Google search turned up. Not all of these are great, but a few are good. Walking Wolf Stylized Print Running Wolf How...

Please explain the therian thing to me. The oversimplified version of it is: a therian is someone who believes themself to have the soul of an animal, or otherwise believes themself to be an animal in some real sense. The more complex version is that it's very much like a religion. As such, its def...

I'm too busy to get burned out! Normally I'd be plenty sick of it all by now, but I haven't had the time to dwell on it lately. On the bright side, I'm much better at cramming a lot of things into my day now. On a slightly unrelated note, I picked up my commencement gear this morning. I never bother...
