Basically, they've added a 4square sort of service, but unless you explicitly disable the thing, your FRIENDS can check you into locations.
I am pretty much to the point that one more violation will make me cancel my account. Oh, and with that, I'm unlikely to ever look at social networking sites ever again. So, yes, they've spoiled the entire party for me.

And yeah, I know, it doesn't represent actual gameplay.  But it still looks awesome.

...and I'm asking because it's been nagging at me a little for the last couple of days:

How badly would you guys kill me if I were to propose a massive retconning and overhaul of the whole Speed/Acceleration drive system and propose a drastic slowdown on travel speeds? I'm guessing that you'd kill me a lot, but I'd like to have confirmation so I can put this aside and get back to something more productive.

Ok, after browsing the forums and getting nowhere, and having to re-roll twice I am officially asking for a bit of assistance. Yeah, laugh it up - one of them was chalked up to 'testing' the limits of the tutorial.
Anyway... May I present: Baron von Black. I honestly don't know if he's Resistance or Loyalist. On the one hand, he sounds Loyalist... but if he's Resistance - he's got almost perfect cover.
Current bio:

Quote:You may call me The Baron or Sir. I am not BB, Buddy, Blackie or any derivative thereof. Understood?

Is suppose you wish me to tell you a bit about myself?

I trained to be at the peak of physical perfection and prowess. Only through the union of mind and body can one succeed as demonstrated by our beloved Cole when he brought Praetoria out of chaos.

When one of my underlings brought me some gloves and a suit that would better channel my energies, I did want any loyal did – I used them for myself and put the underlining back to work. Now I will use my fist to aid Cole in rooting out those that would corrupt this paradise and seek to corrupt any world.

For the Greater Good and Justice! May Cole grant Mercy for I wont!

Just a heads up: I made a TVTropes page for http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/F ... dsOfNerima]The Dark Lords of Nerima if anyone wants to contribute to it.

Bob's said that Triumph's "Magic Power" is a power song (sensibly enough), but maddeningly, he hasn't said what the power is. Possibilities:1: Everyone within earshot who needs to gain knowledge or understanding experiences the required epiphany ("Then you hear the music, and it all comes crystal clear")
2: Emotional bolstering. Calming, centering, and generally making it clear that things are better than they seem.
3: Effect: Instil Confidence/Persistence. ("Well the music keeps you goin' and it's never gonna stop")
4: Most gatesongs (the ones Doug actually finds and uses, anyway) are about going home or returning to loved ones. But "Magic Power" has the remotest possibility of being a gatesong away from somewhere ("The music's got the magic, it's your one chance for escape")

Most likely is #2. All the others are single powerful lines, and #2 has over a verse going for it.
Thoughts?

Here's a blue-sky idea:

• There's quite a bit of Fenspace artwork out there.
  
• http://www.cafepress.ca/index.aspx]CafePress, http://www.zazzle.ca]Zazzle, and other companies will let people put artwork on items that can be sold.
  
• Yuku charges for page views.
  

So I was browsing Deviant art and deiced to try my hand at a Meme, normally i would of stuck something like this in my art thread, but I think this deserves a thread of it's own.

it was pretty fun to do... and gives you guys a reference for voices when I write
