  [Story][RFC] Drop

This has been hanging around on my HD for a while because I wanted to re-write the end (It's all Fnord's fault for revealing the particulars of THAT relationship), but I've finally given up and am putting this out as originally written.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

  CoED base revamp
Posted by: Zilem Kain - 05-16-2010, 08:51 AM - Forum: The Legendary - Replies (1)

For those of you with toons in the Citadel, as you may know, the base is getting a major revamp.  Here are a few things of note to make finding things easier:
I have separated all invention salvage by type (arcane/tech) and rarity.  There is one workshop for arcane and one for tech.  The storage in both is on the second floor and each consists of 3 common, 2 uncommon, and 2 rare storage bins (these are clearly marked with lettered and properly colored banners).  Please try to keep the salvage properly split between the tech and arcane =)  
Each workshop type has a T3 temp buff crucible.
Inspiration storage is staying in the medical room, enhancement storage is staying in the oversight center, personal storage and the invention workbench is staying in the arcane workshop.
Any questions/ comments/ whatever ... you know where to find me.

  Trying to identify an old fic
Posted by: Bob Schroeck - 05-16-2010, 06:34 AM - Forum: Other People's Fanfiction - Replies (6)

Late 90s-ish, I think.  Ranma-Sailor Moon crossover.  Nabiki is Sailor Earth.
Does this ring any bells for anyone?
Thanks.

  [Fenwiki DeStub Project] Olympus Mons
Posted by: robkelk - 05-15-2010, 10:28 PM - Forum: Fenspace - Replies (1)

Another location to flesh out... Does this place have any organized settlements, or is there just an isolated five-star hotel stuck on the side of the mountain with no infrastructure around it? (Even I think the latter is unlikely.) What is there to do here? Does anybody actually live here, and if they do, how do they decide things or earn a living? (They can't all work at the hotel... can they?)

The writeup as it currently exists, with spelling mistakes corrected:


{{stub}}

[[Image:Olympus3.jpg|thumb|Olypmus Mons courtesy of NASA]

Located on [[Mars] Olympus Mons is the largest known volcano in the Sol System. Rising roughly 27 kilometers (17 miles) above the Martian surface it is three times taller than Mount Everest on [[Earth] and covers an area approximately the size of Texas.

The minds behind the [[Mars Terraforming Project] intend for Olympus Mons to become even more of a tourist attraction than it currently is, by introducing skiing and other winter activities once there's weather to work with. Note, you will still need assistance breathing after that, especially if you go all the way up.

==Known Places at Olympus Mons==

* '''Hotel Bradbury''': An exceptionally tasteful, recently opened hotel designed primarily to cater to the Earth tourist trade. Decor includes replicas and originals of some rare sci-fi art and artifacts from the Forrest J. Ackerman collection.The remainder of the hotel's 2010 rooms are typical for a high class hotel. Unlike many Western hotels, the Bradbury does have a 13th floor, including the Rod Serling, Stephen King, and HP Lovecraft suites.
* '''Cafe Lankhmar''': Located within the Hotel Bradbury, A full-service hotel restaurant with a top-tier chef, providing typical "room service" as well as the pseudo-medieval themed dishes for the restaurant itself. Of particular note, the sommelier stocks several excellent Martian Red wines as well as the expected "Solar System's Finest beverages."

Somebody else has come up with the "songs as powers" idea that Bob had for Doug, and has started http://forums.sjgames.com/showthread.php?t=69612]a "stat the songs" thread over on SJGames' GURPS forum. He started it of with I Will Survive (much as we came up with here, minus the obnoxious self-sufficiency)...

  Outlinking

Is there any way to keep the forum from turning every link on the page into a link to some other site?
Everything that's linked from the forum gets turned into a link to something like 'outlink.yuku.com' that auto-refers on to the actual destination.
