Since it's probably going to be MY CODE. For fuck's sake, you impatient people. Mutter mutter mutter grumble something something so much to do.
(note, it actually is a bit hard to install, until you know how to install it.)

I think he's got quite a few things on his plate that come before posebreak. I think %r isn't that difficult to type while he works on everything else.
And now I sleep, in preparation for a long week of +jobs and writing more stuff for the wiki.

The Changeling seasonal courts are essentially four of the five stages of grief/loss. Spring is denial, Summer is anger, Autumn is bargaining (expressed through their focus on magic) and Winter is sorrow/depression. They just leave out acceptance from the seasonal cycle, but I have always figured that its actually equivalent to being courtless.
This is the part I took exception to, if only because I think the game'd be richer with the 8 basic emotions.
-
So look into the path of recovery or renewal, figure out how to add the missing 4 emotions into that framework and you have dealing with the past, opening to the future as an arc.
I have a waggish sense of humor.

Or just wait for the Wild Hunt Chronicles and then play it.

The "5 stages" thing is mostly misunderstood and wrong anyway.

Already did that, actually. I have a 20-page draft waiting for my careful editing.
Geez, you didn't think I'd at least act on it? How long've we known each other?

I think I read your thoughts for the idea on WORA.
PS -- CHOP CHOP!

Your work is commendable, your attention-span needs work. coughMassEffectcough.

Maybe, but hidden beneath layers as it is, it makes a good storytelling model.

Will you promise to code it up when I'm done with it?

That system? Except for a grid part, it practically codes itself. Of course.

Connected or not would be nice. And if connected, idle time.

That's for the advanced version. I wanted to have a version for our open (Saturday).
Truly, I want
fingerandwhoto be using the same base code anyway, but this will do.“If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.”

@Thenomain Do you think the game's ready for the opening day? In terms of CGen, handling XP spends, etc?

Ah, the joys of staffing. Are you enjoying your power and authority yet?!

Gimme two weeks. I'll let you know after I've murdered your PC and used his entrails to fuel my metaplot.

Yes.
We would not be opening otherwise. We already pushed back launch twice, once publicly. Totem and Cover Aspirations are the only things that I wish I had finished, and we will be relying more heavily on the notes system than I wanted.
Google has run less stable code as "beta", so we'll be fine.

Update!
We opened on Saturday fully. This was not without bugs and we rushed Thenomain a bit in the process, but supernatural approvals are progressing apace and RP is happing. So far so good! Now the important bit:
If you have in the past claimed a supernatural spot on Eldritch, you have until Saturday at noon PST to submit your properly chargened application using cg/submit with all the required elements +noted on your character, like covers or touchstones or what have you. If you haven’t finished by then, we will release your spot so that someone else can take it. This should not be news in general, since we have been saying this all along, but just in case there are people that haven’t logged in and don’t know we’re open, I’m posting here too.
On a related note, we will be reopening unclaimed spots in waves. I am going to do Demons first on Sunday. On Friday I will post (on Eldritch) the exact time on Sunday I will be taking +jobs requesting a demon slot, and probably a guess at how many slots I think I will have. On Sunday, I will toss up an ‘OPEN’ post and the second it goes up its first-come, first-served until they’re gone. My feeling is that they will go very quickly. This is imperfect, but as we have established, there is perhaps no perfect way to do this. The same thing, roughly, will happen with Vampire and then Werewolf at a later point in time so as to avoid another vast influx of apps all at once.
I’m very excited to start STing once we’re through with this setup jazz.
