As long as anybody is fighting anybody else, uKulwa will win.
Y'know...How about we create an entire forum under Scatterlings called "The Archive." I'll create sub-forums for every game there ever was, if you give me a list.
Then you move the relevant threads from GT to the appropriate subforum. I think it can maybe be done en masse per game if you click the "moderate this forum" link at the bottom left of the main GT forum page.
Then GT will be for active games, the archive for inactive, and we (I) can move entire sub-forums from one state to the other as necessary.
How does that sound?

I bow to the will of the Admins.

I like the sound of it. One of the reasons I was somewhat against moving Acropolis I was that 1) it's an annoyance to label/rename everything and 2) it does kind of get lost in the hodgepodge.
As far as new games go, if Xar never gets around to it, and things eventually settle down for me, I can run a kind of P-4 using the Arc as the background. I'll run it (mostly) like Pantheon rather than Acropolis, even including random events and whatnot.

Mmmmm. The Numen and the Master on the Arc. Undead Vangoryth don't eat, drink, or breathe, so the only resource they'd use on the Ark is physical space. They don't die, and they probably wouldn't breed, so... just a small pocket of faithful for me, but over time they'd all become fairly powerful.
How big was the Ark, anyway? Big enough to show up on the map, of course. But what does that mean as far as map size, etc?

While I don't know if those cho sent to the Arc ever actually left on it or not (was waiting to hear in the most recent turn), how would The Numen and the Master being on the Arc be explained?
Unless we can just choose to say those we wanted on the Arc (to go forward with continuity, even if it didn't happen canonically), went?

It started off the size of a small skyscraper. However, it was designed to grow and its internal size is not entirely limited by its external size. But then, as a generation ship (Dwarfs... in... spaaaaace!), it might not even take place on the arc.
Hmm. It seems I'll have to figure out how much I've revealed about it publicly, so I can play out the details as time goes on. (Actually, it would have been cool to just run a game and later reveal how it all came about, but that cat's already out of the bag)

If it's all the same to the rest of you, those are the lessons I would rather we NOT learn from Xar. I understand that we're all volunteering for whatever we do. And sometimes there's just not enough time to get stuff done. All I'm saying is that the right choice at that point is to not volunteer for more stuff. The wrong choice is to agree to take on more stuff, then blow everybody off.
Or, you know, if stuff comes up, just pop a quick note saying so.
So, I'm going to assume that when someone says "this weekend" or "over the weekend", they're referring to the most immediately coming weekend.
'Cause it's all about setting expectations.

Looks like it was actually done in the recent few days, after this talk kevinswatch.ihugny.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=22887Menolly wrote:First time I noticed the move.

...
And thanks from me as well for keeping the archive. Is there any possibility to upload the formerly hidden email and pm turns?
