Tuujaimaa Eh? I'd say that's a definite problem with this current system - I didn't tag you. I just quoted the part of a post that was relevant... :-/

Also, another idea: just to make mahz's coding life even more hell, it could add a little extra options when making a post in the character tab. ooc and ic posts would remain the same, but perhaps when posting things into char tabs, you could have a box to input the character's name (editable by the gm just incase someone tried to fuck around and name it something like "penis"), and a checkbox for gm and co-gm character tab posts so they can uncheck something that says "is this a character?". that would avoid the standard things like the top post containing a character sheet skeleton showing up in the roster tab.Would no work with any non-standard use of the tab (even something as simple as multiple characters), or even just character profiles that are too long (this far has only occurred with one of mine, really).
Also bad idea to make arbitrary bits editable by others, even the GM.
Makes it too easy for even fairly small groups or individuals to ostracize someone (and to be fair, I think even this current banning system might be too lenient). Not supportive.
Eh, depends? I'm typically not off in terms of staying true to whatever source I'm basing my claims on (assuming problems don't occur between consciousness and fingers and I don't end up with something entirely different from what I intended to type), but as far as sources go, not all of them are equal, and thus I'm reassessing my knowledge-base all the time. How much cross-referencing I do also depends on how much "weight" I put into the given content - so I might end up with more sheets of paper with numbers on them than actual text when writing hard sci-fi but just wing it based on some interesting article I read a while back for a scifi RP or soft-scifi piece that's not so hard on details.
Incidentally, I'm almost always inclined to rewrite much of my older hard scifi, just because it no longer reads as sufficiently plausible to me. Note that many things I write are blatantly false and/or contradictory just because the characters themselves have misconceptions. If I as me say something dubious, though, feel free to offer counter-points.
Ironically, not entirely sure about the comments on steel and iron, depending on source:
Carbon Steel 1425 - 1540°C
Cast Iron 1175 - 1290°C
Alternatively, another source claims the following, leaving us with "which steel, which iron?":
Steel, Carbon 1425 - 1540°C
Steel, Stainless 1510°C
Iron, Wrought 1482 - 1593°C
Iron, Gray Cast 1127 - 1204°C
Iron, Ductile 1149°C
Other sources will state different values:
Iron, out of the ground, melts at around 1510 degrees C (2750°F). Steel often melts at around 1370 degrees C (2500°F).
I also just about became acutely aware of the similarities between Angora and Jillian's fathers (minus the acquisition of the raw materials, probably).
Hmm. Jack, did you by any chance end up looking at videos of people poking at and/or trying to shovel lava?
Also, "have your cake and eat it, too" allegedly used to be the other way around - "eat your cake and have it, too". Makes a lot more sense that way...
@cthulu: Would you like to share travel commentaries at some point? I'll try to post later today - been a bit hectic on this side...
Ah yes - and I'll be in Frankfurt in June, once again. Will probably remain pseudo-present, though.

Shall I give you a few more examples, LegendBegins?

Curious that Jillian would persist to refer to Gerald as "Remdal", rather than "Glass" (given his apparent distaste for the man, and obvious preference for his "real" surname.)
@cthulu: Would you by any chance like me to post something for Aemoten, too (seeing how my last bit was pretty much entirely Etakar)? On one hand, I had figured she might want to react in some way, on the other, I might have not given you much to respond to...
@Dark Jack Still alive?

A couple of notes about the things I asked Legion in a chat: Angora is essentially just guessing that the "thing" is from another plane, the penin started having disagreements because they went poking at the sword with just a bit of questionable desires in their minds to begin with, and the "thing" had a similar effect on them as it did on Angora, amplifying said feelings, and the "explosion of the being's escape" had nothing to do with the being, but was rather just a slight accident involving the sword's magical-energy-channeling properties ... and nightmares are still nightmares, amped further by the "thing".

I think I could mail you all some cookies. Would that work?

I voice-acted through the entire Iridiel-Angora conversation just to make sure - including me trying to mimic the speech-pattern of someone who doesn't know the language, with pauses included where Iridiel was searching for words (and then other pauses for when I was accounting for the described actions and just reading over the rest of the post).
In its entirety, it clocked in at six minutes and thirty-eight seconds in total, which is some time, to be certain, but not that long (the point where Legion's post mentions that the others were making their way over - "Angora shook her head and kept quiet as Iridiel continued, whilst the others began to make their way over towards them, sitting at the fire." - came in at about five minutes). Entirely conceivable that one would spend it just gathering wood. And I kind of imagine that Jaelnec would knowingly avoid that general area while he thinks Angora might be still washing up because, well, naked Angora (and I'd figure he's both too bashful and too much of a gentleman to risk coming face-to-face with her in her bare state).
I'll second Nessa - probably discuss the situation with Olan (remind you - he wasn't there for much of Angora/Iridiel/Domhnall's discussion, because Aemoten had lead him off, but Olan was still there and heard everything the three said), or, indeed, have a little discussion with Roct, what with the new relevations.
