Here's an apocryphal flashfic. I hope people enjoy it.

While Doug, Chris and the God Squad await the coming little Armageddon, here's a review of somewhat of
what Morisato Keiichi was up to during the preceding days:



Received a pile of junk electronics and scrap metal from the
head of his motorcycle club.

Showed a trans-dimensional traveler around his home.

Helped to fix up a super-science flying motorcycle.

Went to classes.

Gave and received love and affection with his goddess
girlfriend.

Became a temporary teacher at a motorcycle school.

Confronted the ghost of a destroyed forest, then helped to
replant it.

Kidnapped by robot aliens.

Traveled back in time to help his parents get together.

Went to see a movie; didn't enjoy it.

Forced by classmates to help make a movie. Due to a series of strange coincidences, became the star of the movie.

Chased by fairies.

Won a motorcycle race against the dreaded Nine Purple Lilies
girl motorcycle gang; became their honorary 'big sister.'

Was the focus and a combatant in a multiversal war for all
existence against a terrible dimension-spanning monster which caused the destruction of all reality and then its prompt reconstitution, leaving no memory of
its occurrence-as it does.

Baked bread.

Hokay, so.

For those of you who don't have admin access to the wiki, we've reached over 400 pages since the wiki began. That's a lot of stuff, and everybody
who's contributed should feel proud. At this point, I've been thinking about what & where the wiki should go next, and I wanted to throw out a
proposal to y'all.

Over the last week or so I've been playing with MediaWiki. It's not a very forgiving beast at an admin level, but it *is* more flexible than what
we've got right now, and as the pagecount and imagecount rises I think it might be worth exploring moving all our stuff over from the Dokuwiki platform.

Pros for changing wikis:

* We get greater flexibility in categorization, layout, etc.

* Adding future pages would be that much easier (no more long-assed namespace chains, for one thing)

Cons for changing wikis:

* Having to convert all the pages from Doku syntax to MW syntax.

* Steeper learning curve for the more advanced features.

As it stands, we could probably benefit from a general reorganization. We can do that without changing the wiki engine, though it'll probably be the same
amount of total work. And since *I* can't come up with a defining answer here, not to mention that Fenspace is powered by the Will of the Hive, I'm
opening up debate. The poll will be open for two weeks, so everybody has a chance to vote. In the meantime, if you've got strong opinions - or just want to
tell me I'm nuts - go ahead and comment. The Mod Has Spoken.

So I'm playing around in Spore...and I created this adorable monster...I think you'll recognize her.



So I'm chillin', getting my tribe set up, when lo and behold, look who crashes the party...



RECLUSIANS!

Even in Spore, Paragon isn't safe from the clutches of Recluse!

I think the Genau'Goeg tribe is gonna have a little "come to Spode" session at some point in the near future with the Cyan tribe...

But no Debtlizard is complete without a wardrobe...





more on this later.

A paper like material that is as thermal conductive as a diamond with the same level of toughness and strength, but even better it is also as electrically
conductive as copper wire.

It looks like this material will soon be available in commercial amounts and that is exciting especially if in mass production it can be made competitive with
the price of copper wire.

EDIT

I'm not sure why it clipped out part of the link. Here is the clickable version of the corrected link supplied below as a cut and paste address.

Anyone know why the updater for CoX sits at 'Checking Updater" in my Vista 64 machine, and what I must do to fix it?

Hello! *waves* My name is Amanda. You may know me as the author of BGC Next Gen, Farewell to Arms, and Half Moon ^_^ Bob also used a version of Yumeko in
DWII.

The subject title is a reference to the fact that although my chara was used in DW, I have never really actually read any of it T_T* I guess the sheer size is
intimidating me, LOL! (I wonder if people feel the same way when they see mine) Well, guess I better start somewhere...

As I'd mentioned to a couple people in CoH, I'm running a game in an online forum managed by a RL friend of mine. The game is based on Mekton 1, and is
set on a starship that's hopping realities as the crew try to put together the reasons *why* the ship is doing this, why they were chosen, and what they
were chosen to do.

The game originally got its inspiration from Chrono Cross, which is what inspired the name of the ship. So far the PC's have been to several alternate
Earths, including one I came up with from whole cloth. There seems to be a conspiracy afoot organized by people who can *also* cross realities, and the
PC's are somehow the only ones who can intercede without drawing official attention to their actions.

The site is at http://gamers.romanus.ca/ and you're
certainly welcome to come have a look. If you want to join up, I've included basic character creation notes in the Chrono Racer forum for people who've
never played Mekton 1 before. The advantage of this game is that it doesn't matter *where* your character concept comes from. I can get you on the Racer
easily. The PC's have already discovered there's a mysterious multiverse-spanning organization responsible for keeping the peace that for some reason
can't intervene directly. So they're arranging for people to be sent to the ship and backing them up clandestinely. But that's all the PC's
have pieced together so far.

Current crewmembers (active players) are:

Ossten of Velantia: Captain of the Racer, Ossten is a thirty-foot long reptiloid Lensman.

!@#$*&^% : An energy sphere, still a child by his race's standards, but a natural engineer and curious about other races.

Aolani: Elven princess on the run, trying to rally forces to free her enslaved people.

Cyndle Kell: Former cop framed for the murder of her partner, forced to play in the "Unreal Tournaments" until death, she escaped only through
Intervention...

Khimera Chang: Black sheep of the Chang syndicate, she commanded a small mercenary unit in power armor known as the Steel Angels in Australia before winding up
a new passenger on the Racer.

NPCs:

Voidscream: Decepticon with a sense of honor. They show up sometimes, and always make the PC's lives a little harder.

Maximus Prime: Prototype Maximal, he wanted to escape being the poster boy of his new race, and joined the Racer crew.

Cybele: Survivor of the planet Lithone, world first eaten by Unicron in the beginning of the animated Transformers movie. She's an engineer and a weapons
specialist.

Colonel Carson: Professional soldier of the Unified United Nations, also from the Cybertronian universe.

Hinoto Shi-Ryo: Ship-Bonded Eddorian Commander, telepathically bonded to the Chrono Racer, and its only original crew still onboard.

Sayaka Gregman: Kuritan noblewoman married to a mercenary soldier. Entrusted with the firing keys to the Gravitic Point Cannon.

Locations visited so far:

Cybertronian Earth.

An earth conquered by an invading force (Wayland-Yutani) through a hyperstream gate, forcing a corrupted version of the Mormon religion on the survivors. The
Racer freed them and moved on.

Honor Harrington universe (where they are now.)

So if you think this looks interesting, drop me a line, and we can hash out a character. There's always room for more on the Racer.

Anyone getting into this? Fun collectible minis game of B-Movie Kaiju combat from Privateer Press... I've picked up a starter and a few extra bits so far
and it has all kinds of nifty stuff.
