  I am posting here because I think we need to add at least one more admin to our team.

  Right now, I have been put in charge of setting policy and managing the place, generally. Mietze is another admin with similar authority. Arkandel remains an admin solely because he's the fellow with the knowledge and capability to upgrade the platform (nodeBB) from his end. That means we have two admins charged with management.

  I think we need a third admin with policy and management authority here. I am looking for a veteran member here to help out. We are not looking for a "yes" person; we are looking for someone we can work with. I personally am looking for someone with familiarity with nodeBB management (that would take Arkandel out of the picture, which he wants) but I would be happy for anyone willing to serve as another set of eyes.

  PM me if interested..

  @crawfish This really makes me want to ask if you take commissions. I'd like something done of my Old Man cat who passed away in December that I could use for a tattoo.

  @shangdi

  I tried to make a character but it's been so long I gave up and there was very little to no help in the process. I read a pdf and muddled my way through but couldn't figure out how to look at my character sheet to pick back up.

  Then I had no clue how to submit so glad that has been amended.

  I've published an initial idea for perl based mushcode formater / unformater to github. The general idea is to take mushcode scripts and make them more readable for editing by breaking up the code into multiple lines following various arbitrary rules. Once your done editing your code, you unformat the code for upload to a mush.

  Arbitrary Rules:

  Do not split up short strings/functions. Code that spans several pages that doesn't need to is unreadable too. Wrap long strings of text. Spaces at the end of a line are significant after formatting. Spaces at the beginning of a line are not significant after formatting. Make sure formatted text can be unformatted back to the original without modification. Functions arguments will be split and indented.
  The Arguments of the function will be indented so that it lines up with the end of the function name on the next line. Some commands will be indented in a way that I think is more readable. Commands currently with special formatting are: @switch/@select, @dolist, &, @while, think, and @pemit

  Function Example:

  &match com=[first([extract(u(gdb),match(u(gdb),first(%0)),1)][extract(u(gdb),match(u(gdb),*[first(%0)]*),1)])] Becomes: &match com= [first([extract(u(gdb), match(u(gdb),first(%0)), 1 )] [extract(u(gdb), match(u(gdb),*[first(%0)]*), 1 )] )]

  Command Example:

  &short com=$=*:@dolist [u(lwho,u(first))]={@pemit before(##,_)=[u(format,%#,##,%0)]};@pemit %#=[switch(u(first),,v(msg_none),MONITOR,v(msg_monitor))]

  Becomes:

  &short com=$=*: @dolist [u(lwho,u(first))]= { @pemit before(##,_)= [u(format,%#,##,%0)] }; @pemit %#= [switch(u(first),,v(msg_none),MONITOR,v(msg_monitor))]

  Thanks to everyone for the detailed advice. I'll look for a roster character with a decent amount of built in connections.

  The only way I could get it to work properly on macOS is by replacing the hopelessly out of date system TK bundle with something up to date, such as ActiveTK (which I believe is still free for development use), then downloading the UNIX source for Potato (not the Mac binary) and running the script manually. It works but it's a PITA. You'll probably be better off switching to Atlantis.

  Playing a character that is playing a character seems too many levels deep.

  @ominous Awhile ago...almost a couple years now, my friends and I were running a game set in Gotham City during the Flashpoint Paradox. We tried working out a system that was simple (but could have been better), but it folded due to a lack of state support (we're all in Australia), and due to our coder having a accident.

  Either way, we still enjoyed the setting a great deal and could think of ways to simplify it and allow for play we can keep up with.

  Something I think some folks might be happy about, out of light of Anthem ceasing development.

  Bioware will be making the next Dragon Age a single-player RPG, after originally planning for it to be a service game.

  Hot damn.
