So, a while back Wiregeek left CoX, and dropped off a bunch of enhancements with me that I've been meaning to offer up for grabs. Real Life has been
interfering, but I finally got a chance to complete the inventory and get it organized.

In order for this to be as fair as I can make it, I'm going to set some restrictions. Here's how I plan for this to work; if you disagree with
something, bring it up here and we'll discuss.

1. This post has a list of everything 'in stock', as it were. I will keep this maintained.
   
2. To request an item, make a post in this thread with the name of the character that wants it, the item they want, and their level. Please only request
   items if you can use them immediately on the character -- no hoarding for later use, if you please.
   
3. I will update the list to include the names of the interested characters. The first entry starts the clock; after that, I'll hold it open for a week
   to allow others to register their interest.
   
4. When the clock runs out, I'll hold a random drawing (Ops' hat and paper slips, I'm thinking) to see which of the interested characters wins
   the prize. I'll update this list accordingly.
   
5. You have another week after that to arrange a time to pick it up. I'll be more than generous with extensions on that if they're needed -- Real
   Life causes issues, I know. If you don't contact me to pick it up and I can't get it to you, and you haven't arranged for an extension, it goes
   back into the lottery -- with the understanding that that character has plain lost out. Most of these are unique, highly-sought-after, and expensive items,
   so it's only fair, I think.
   
6. After an item has been claimed by the winner, I strike it from the list. When all items are gone, they're gone.
   

I just saw this, and thought that maybe somebody here

a. has not seen it, and

b. would enjoy it.

Remember this post where I said:

Quote: "Aside from the obvious animation style in the brief character shots of Captain Avatar/Okita and Wildstar/Kodai, I'd say this is proof positive that
an absolutely STRAIGHT live action version of Star Blazers/Uchu Senkan Yamato would be THE BOMB!!! "

Since there are so many Sesame Street videos out there, I thought a thread for the good ones might be appropriate.

Here's one to start it off: for Godot

them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."

Here's a starting point for you.

He has played kings, princes, captains and professors on stage and screen, but now actor Patrick Stewart will have a new title all his own:
"Sir."

So begins the story I just saw on CNN.com - Patrick Stewart is receiving a knighthood (an OBE to be precise). He is on the New Year's hono(u)rs list,
released by Britain's Cabinet Office on Thursday.

Here's a link to the story on CNN.com: http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Movies/ ... index.html

Here's a link to a story about "Arts" honors on BBC.com: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainmen ... 434903.stm (if you go
here, you will find links to PDF files for the entire list)

Ladies, Gentlemen, Bots & Others:

As my Christmas present to myself, changes are afoot at FenWiki.

The first change is, we're moving to our own domain! Once I get things sorted, we're moving to

http://www.fenspace.net/

so adjust your bookmarks accordingly.

Secondly, I'm making a command decision; we're moving to MediaWiki. I've got a 90%-complete backup of the wiki already formatted for MW, and I'll take care of getting the rest of it (mostly Mystery pages) moved over. All you guys have to do is set up new user accounts when everything's ready. That will be by the end of New Year's Day, even if I have to push an all-nighter to get everything out the door.

Third... there is no third. Just sit back, relax and have a decent end of solstice holiday season, content in the knowledge that Your Crippled Moderator is working hard behind the scenes to improve your Fenspace experience.

See you guys in the funny pages.
Mr. Fnord interdimensional man of mystery
