Maybe fantasy characters to replace fantasy places. I.e. Dresden, Rand, Jon Snow, etc.

What do these new rank names come from...? Why am I 'The Lady'

Your infallible grace and good looks?

Oh, I just thought of a request: Could I get a "mark all read" button for PMs I've sent? I have four sent PMs that are unread and will never be read, because I sent them to people who haven't logged in for three years, or to accounts that apparently don't exist (because of the underscore problem).

Really it just bugs me that I don't have a zero there. :(

Ed: Also, Weave, I am a graceful and good-looking dude, so that doesn't mean a whole lot.  :mad:

LC, you're using these words, but all I see is "Lady-like" all over your post.  :cool:

ON TOPIC: I like the new names or titles or whatever they're called. I just wish one of them was like, Boba Fett, or something. And that I had it.

I think that ended more off topic than it began.

It's probably a dumb feature, really, but I agree. Honestly, why would Alan ask me a question if he never intended to read my answer?

I had emailed this to Ishy right before he quit, but Plotstorming has been dead for some time.  Might want to get rid of the link on the front page.

Unfortunately I don't know where to go to change that. I'll fire off an email to ish and see about that.

Although the calendar doesn't seem to be the most favorite or used part of the site; what if all PbP games and times are announced on the calendar, for easy visibility for everyone on the site?

People running them can put the times in... either EST or GMT.

The question is if anyone would check the calendar? Or if this would just be extra work for little gain.

I'm sure there's got to be a way to let the calendar convert times to the timezone of whoever's reading it.

I'm not sure the calendar game-time listings would be of much use to regular players in those games (who tend to know when the sessions are held), but they'd be great for people who just want to drop in and watch an IRC game here and there, or for people looking for a game to join in on. I think it's a great idea to organize that information in a more browsing-friendly way.
