White managed to track down the two (?) persons alive that were not traumatized by his WMDs fiendishly disguised as games, and now uses them as guinea p--, um, beta testers for his latest invention.

There is no way to prevent newbies under 200 posts from starting polls. It is possible to delete/lock polls by newbies under 200 posts, no questions asked. But that would be pointless, because useless polls already get locked anyway.

I'll do one better and make a list of all people and their avatars (or lack thereof). :) Members are called by the name by which I remember them. The link on the name is to the first post of that person in the thread (the implicit request), by which they are apparently ordered. The link on the country is to Alec's post. Imban - The Indian Wars stranger - The Mexican-American War FBM - The Quasi War Stew Boy - The Spanish-American War TM - World War II (Pacific) Ephesos - Guatemala Tyranicus - Iran Thuryl - Canada Salmon - China Croikle - Venezuela Dolphin - Congo/Kinshasa Jeff Vogel (no request) - The Civil Rights Movement Inthrall - Chile MagmaDragoon - Antarctica Kingy - The War on Drugs Spring - World War I Wonko - The Phillipine Insurrection Arancaytar - World War II (Europe) Slartucker - Cuba Infernal - Israel (posted out of order) Sullust - Grenada Riibu - Finland JadeWolf - The Iran-Iraq War Fatman - Hawaii [some squabbling] Marlenny - Nicaragua Erika - Hungary Student of Trinity - Dikiyoba - [some discussion] Demonslayer (now dXs) - Goldenking - [and finally we get to the assignments for the last page or more] Lenar Labs - Not I - Ben - Ash Lael - wz. Arsenic - Smuggler - Order Mage - Dintiradan - (did this by chronologically going through the thread, listing everyone who posted - distinctly - and adding the country next to them once I got to Alec's response. If any end up with nothing next to them, I missed Alec's post or they didn't get anything yet) [ Tuesday, April 18, 2006 22:26: Message edited by: Kuranes- ] -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

Funnily enough, I ended up pressing the wrong button too when registering, and then had to use the root account to activate my posting account manually. Edit: I can find no option in the admin panel to switch off coppa registration. Instead, I have messed with the files to remove the "under 13" option and change the other one to "I agree".

See, the system works by saving a new table every month. These tables are called endeavor200604 and so on. At the same time, the current data is in endeavor_cur - this table is updated, and then it is copied to a new table named endeavor200604. Unfortunately, the program has a hard time deciding if right now it should compare the table endeavor_cur with endeavor200604, or with endeavor200603. Since I still suck at programming, it currently wants to compare endeavor_cur with endeavor200604. These tables are identical, which causes divisions by zero and other nasty things. I'll try to fix that. Meanwhile, the surest way to get the correct rankings is to select "2006-04" on the pull-down menu, instead of "Current". This link leads directly to that page. -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

I didn't believe MM would actually send that thing. It's hilarious, yes, but really, think how stupid you look doing it.

Not much more than any of the other satellites did at the time. 2003 was a great year for roleplays. TCoA was not an RP board, but like any good SW forum then it had a section dedicated to RPing. Like most satellites, it also died. Unlike most, it outlasted the summer - I think it died late in 2003 or early in 2004 even. -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

Just for information, if you're trying to contact TGM again, he's still banned from Spiderweb. He's active on Polaris these days; I figure he's on Desp as well, but I don't think I saw him as much there recently. ;) Also, see my response regarding hosting. -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

It's the Join statement used for the ranking. I displayed it for debugging, and never bothered to take it off again - it's not really especially secret though, so it doesn't do any harm. Oh, and Scorpius just asked me why the heck I still post here, since Spiderweb's games "suck" and you all are "retarded" (which apparently doesn't include me, or he wouldn't be asking). From Scorpius, this is great praise. I am flattered. -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.
