The Council of Wyrms

The Panther said:
I have two players whose email servers are rejecting my winrar files. These are Quantum Mechani and Izaqyos. I would appreciate having the problem fixed on your end or getting a new email address.

I am receiving zip files w/o problem in my email address ([email protected]). I know for a fact, though, that gmail is a bit rough on file extentions it doesn't like.
I think Yahoo mail is more tolerant, so if you prefer you can send the file to [email protected].
Thanks.
Can't wait to start this one

no

[Wish]

well it worked for me just being named conceptualbalance_5_1.dm, I renamed it to match the above, so as to not junk up the game at all

[Zooko]

I use Linux preferentially, and I have reasonable capability for ZIP files, but only limited support for RAR files...

[The Panther]

I am missing three turns:

Caelum Zooko
Marignon djo
Mictlan shovah

If any of you are having trouble with the rar file or the mod, please let me know.

[The Panther]

Just waiting on shovah now.

The council is open for business!

On the wiki, I've added a page for council business. I gave instructions on voting on, discussing, and adding propositions. It takes a few clicks and some editing, but I hope it's not too hard.

Proposition 1 is an example. You don't have to vote or discuss, but it's a safe place to practice if you want.

I don't remember what happens when two people try to edit the same page at once. I guess we'll find out!

Other notes:
* use "preview" often when editing! it'll save you lots of time!
* please feel free to improve things if you like
* suggestions welcome if you don't know how to make the wiki work like you want (but my time is limited...)
* wikis are easy to edit, so please do NOT edit someone else's votes; we would just have to move to a system (probably email) to be sure votes are authentic
* same with discussion--add to discussion, but don't change other people's discussion
* of course you can discuss here, too, if you want...
* ...but I think Panther wants all the voting in one place, the wiki (he can speak up if I'm wrong)

Votes

I could be wrong about this, but as long as everyone makes a recognizable user in the Wiki (by default =shrapnelcommunity user) there should be no danger of having peoples votes mysteriously change; the rogue IP address will show up in the history and the original vote will get changed back as soon as anyone catches it. I assume this will not be a problem so people don't need to keep watching their votes, but it wouldn't hurt to check before a big proposition goes to tally. I'm just saying authenticity shouldn't be an issue.

Diary

I realize this is a different kind of game than Yarnspinners, but I got so caught up in the RP aspect that I had to start writing some perspective fiction for a couple of my characters (some of which may not exist in the game yet). If nobody minds, I will keep a couple pages on the Wiki to document some aspects of Vanheim's progress (that which gets past the National Security censors). I actually started in a place not called Vanheim...

[Wish]

if shovah has not checked in with the council then I suggest we continue with business on schedule despite his absence

[shovah]
