Life, the universe, pies, hot-pink bunnies, world domination, and everything
What do you want to see on the blog, at Musery Loves Company, or anywhere else in the GAPAs’ domain? Let your voices be heard!

We need a Starwars thread. Or a Indiana Jones thread. Or an old movies thread. Wait… there is a movie thread isn’t there? Oh boo.
Then we need a “I need help with my electronics!” thread. Can anyone tell me what to do with a frozen iPod? I left my iPod in the car and only got it out a few minutes ago and now it won’t turn on! Anyways another good reason for haveing a “Help! My iPod turned green!” thread is so that people like me can get uh… help. And people who know how to do this stuff can show their vast knowladge.

We rarely devote threads to anythings as specific as Star Wars, but we could be cajoled into creating, say, a Science-Fiction thread.
0
0
COOL!!
0
0
could we possibly have a JJ Abrams & Co thread? incorporating, LOST, Alias, Cloverfield, Fringe, Felicity, etc.
if not, how about another computers & video games thread? when was the last one again?

I want philosophy threads! one serious and one silly!
0
0
Oh, yes. That would be fun(ny). Especially for the silly one.
0
0
Does anyone here know anything about philosophy — say, the way KaiYves knows about astronomy? I guess we’d soon find out.
0
0
5 – I got two books on philosophy for Christmas, but I’ve only skimmed them briefly as of yet. (Was that used correctly?)
0
0
“As yet” or “so far” are correct. As an editor, I don’t allow “as of yet” in news stories. It will probably be acceptable 15 years from now, but at the moment it grates on older ears.
0
0
whoa my idea was used. Thanks!
What if instead of other people philociphy we talked about our own. i mean isn’t philocify just rules that people live by? sorry my shift key just about broke down. Another reason for the Technology thread. *leaves for science fiction thread*
0
0
3- I saw Lost last night… (My dad’s hooked on them now, and so’s my sister I guess.) It actually wasn’t bad. I thought it would just be a soap opera on a desert; I wasn’t prepared for all the supernatural stuff.
0
0
We kinda need a 2009 Music thread and a new Books and reading thread…
0
0
6- As Robert has explained somewhere or other, “as of yet” is not grammatically correct. You can say “as yet” or “yet”.
5- Would you please be so kind as to give us a Philosophy Thread?
0

Howabout a superheroes RPG? That’d be fun. It could take place in the Musiverse and all that.
Zinc… protecter of the obscene… fighting for justice the muserly way…!
Yeah, that has a certain ring about it.
0
0
11- That sounds like a good idea!
0
0
I really do like the idea of a superheroes/Mary Sue RPG.
0
0
13- We shouldn’t combine superheroes with Mary Sues. It’s possible to create superhuman characters who aren’t Mary Sues.
0
0
OK, I never really understood what this Mary Sue thing is. Could someone explain it?
0
0
15- A Mary Sue is a character that’s too perfect to be true. They’re better than all the other characters ad nausiam. (To the point of sickness.)
http: //en. wikipedia. org/ wiki/ Mary_Sue
0
0
14: Yeah, like one of the superheroes is a major klutz! *coughcough* Um, having panophobia, a sorceress with no magical powers (except for card tricks), wearing the dorkiest costumer ever, etc., repeat ad infinitum…
0
0
I think a superheroes RPG could be really fun. We could make it very atmospheric and create our own “Muser Justice League” with a headquarters and arch-villians and everything!
0
0
A Muser Justice League RPG sounds fun! We could have to fight Muser enemies like HPBs and Mr. Joe.
0
0
Mr. Joe as a supervillian is a great idea. I’m already brainstorming my specifics. I think I want my superhero name to be Delta V.
0
0
I’d join a superhero RPG! I think I’d be ‘The Witch in the Starspangled jeans’
0
0
I think my power will be shapeshifting into a cat. Not only do I love cats, but this gives me a chance to use my Warriors RPG character. I also show catlike behaviors when not in morph, like hissing at threatening things and squeezing my eyes shut when I’m happy. This tends to make people who don’t know about my power somewhat afraid of me. I haven’t thought of a name yet, though.
0
0
Oh good! GAPAs, do you approve?
Name: Klutz Girl!
Powers: Tripping over things and thereby setting a booby trap, falling onto villians, kicking, slapping, being able to test traps by walking into them, and card tricks.
Weaknesses: Gymnastics, running, football, soccer, basketball, and other things that require coordination.
Costume: I’ll draw one and send it in.
0
0
Loooove the superheros RPG idea!!! We actually just created heros in LA. 
Hmmm, I’ll need to brainstorm what my superhero will be………
0

May we have a new Sports thread? The old one is totally dead.
0
0
There should be a Notscape thread where people can post…what’s not. Notscape rules.
0
0
What’s Notscape? *feels stupid*
0
0
27- It was a spoof of Netscape for a Muse first page a while ago. Back in October 2004, to be exact. The earliest issue I still have. I believe my first issue was September of that year, but that issue has been lost to the winds of time…
0
0
Would it be possible to make it so that the search bar could find words in posts and not just in thread headers?
0
0
29- I think it already does, to an extent. But making it more accurate would mean an extremely long process, for which no one, especially the OEADs, have time.
0
0
the search function is lacking, but i believe that’s due to the fact that wordpress accounts are generally not used as “forum” type pages. to the outside MB is an odd blog with very short posts and VERY lengthy and frequent comments. which can’t be indexed very well, I think?
my suggestion is a museum and historical sites thread! places MBers have been or want to visit. I think between all of us many major sites have been visited, but I’m curious to see which.
0
0
(29-31) We do have a “search everything” plug-in, which has now been reactivated. It’s rather cumbersome when one is actually searching only for threads, so we disable it from time to time. I probably forgot to turn it back on.
0
0
Could we have a new Religion thread? There are circa 400 posts on the old one, and it’s fairly dead.
0
0
Could we have a si fi thread ? Someone mentioned it on the last thread, and kiwi brought the subject up on this months thread…
Here’s my idea:
All the bloggers would be on a big starship, the TGS Museica. No-one would have special powers or be morphed into cat/dog/thing. There would be no HPBs either. We just cruise around and explore the star system around MB, saying hi to the inhabitants of various planets (yes, this all sounds very familiar. Just ignore that).
0
0
34) Sorry: a si-fi RPG thread.
0
0
The DFTT links to the previous Suggestion Box rather than this one.

34- We’ve explored out to beta kokopelli. join me on the ship’s log.

If there’s not one already, I REALLY want a musical theater/plays/auditions thread where you can talk about what plays you’re in and ask for help with auditions, stuff like that.
0
0
I would definitely use that thread often…
0
0
I would like a theater thread as well, please. The last one was in 2007.
36 (KaiYves)- You’re right. The link needs to go to this thread–and it doesn’t.
0

(36, 39) Oops! Fixed now.

39- Yesh! *oozes happiness*

Oh, great and mighty GAPAs, I come to you in the darkest hour of MuseBlog. We feel an urgent need to revive the Pie War thread. We wish to return Le Equip Noir, Zemtee and The Prancing Unicorn Slayers to the great realm of pie once more.
0
0
Please?! How about I get on my knees and grovel at your feet?
0

Okay, here’s a request sparked from my brain from a single comment by YodaShmoda:
“Whoh whoh whoh… I think I just got the issue in JANUARY! is that possible? Wha-??/ I’ve never looked at the date I got it before. And yes, it is January. If I had waited one day to open the house door and get the mail I would have gotten it on time, now I feel like I broke a rule or somthing. *is scared she will be caught by muse police*”
THE MUSE POLICE! Or better, THE MUSE MEN IN BLACK! Those who capture the non-MBers who have discovered the secrets of Mostly Harmless and pie them! 
I dunno, some kind of RPG? I think this might go with the scifi RPG thread, but probably not?
0
0
Two suggestions:
1. Technically speaking, it should be MuseForum.
2. How about a general trivia quiz?
0
0
Can we have a Valentine’s ball? Starting the 14th and ending on the 28th?
0
0
45- Just doesn’t have the same ring. Plus, all of our paraphernalia MB store merchandise would be made incorrect.
42- Do we have to? The Chocolate/Vanilla pie wars became so disorganized they had to be shut down. Besides, pie wars just attract PoPos, ‘phytes, and extravagant competition. But, if that’s the sort of thing you’re into, I guess I can’t let my personal inhibitions get in the way of progress. Perhaps ZEMTEE was better than “No, THIS Is Pie War”, etc. Maybe MB can handle them again.
0
0
44- Wait…I thought we wanted people to find out about the kokonspiracy?
0
0
SFTDP.
33- So that’s what happened! Everything is made clear! It is annoying if you don’t know what’s going on.
0
0
How about another pet thread? More animals!
0
0
46: May be a bit late for a Valentine’s ball-we’d only have a week to plan. What about a Spring Fling, or a Saint Patrick’s Day thingy? We’d have plenty of time then.
0
0
A thread about the world and countries? Africa, Asia, Europe, Etc. government and such?
0
0
Musery Loves Company should sell SSSS T-shirts.
0
0
51- We’ve already got a ball in the spring for May Day. Maybe we should have something in the summer, though. Bastille Day?
0
0
I posted this a few months ago on the random thread…
You know what I would like, I would like a thread where we write out posts saying something, anything we like about the person who posted before us. I don’t know if that would work well here, but I think it’d be nice…
Yes / No ? Maybe it’s better suited to bona fide forums, since it’s essentially a thread game.
0
0
I think we should have a St. Patrick’s Day ball. If so, though, we should start planning right now.
55- I like that idea!
0
0
54-I like a Bastille Day ball idea. Or maybe just a Summer Madness? And we could have that plus a spring ball. The more parties the better!!
56-We had about a month to plan for the Winter thing. Today’s the 8th, and St. Patrick’s Day is the 17th… so if we started today, we’d have a month-and-nine-days to plan.
Maybe not just a St. Patrick’s Day. You can’t really have a whole ball on one day. We could spread it out over March and a little into April?
0
0
I think we should definitely have one ball in the summer…I mean, I know that the blog’s a little slower now with people on vacation, camp, and such, but it would be fun to have one just to liven things up a bit. I would definitely vote for a Summer Madness one if the GAPA’s consider it. (Although it would be a little too late to plan one now…perhaps next summer then?) And I agree, the more balls, the better, but not too many. That would probably make them less fun if they happened all the time. Although I’m not really sure, considering I’ve never been to one. (I came right at the end of this year’s May Day Ball but never got a chance to post on the thread…)
0
0
The balls aren’t as much fun since we started having them all the time.
0
0
Yeah, definitely. I think we should only have the MDB and the Halloween Ball.
0
0
58: I agree. The best ones have been May Day and Halloween.
0
0
58 – How about one ball per season?
0
0
60- That’s what I think we should do.
Spring: May Day
Summer: Something, maybe Bastille Day or Moon Landing Day
Fall: Halloween
Winter: Winter Holidays
0

60- Spring should be the Cliff Eagle’s Birthday Ball in april, i can sponsor it (jk)

47) Excuse me ! The pie wars are awesome ! Besides, not all threads have to be organized. The thread is a nice piece of chaos ! Besides, it’s a great, abeit sticky, place to hang out.
0
0
63- In what pie wars did you even participate? I haven’t done ZEMTEE or anything. Was that even a Pie War? Perhaps it was good. My only experience was the Chocolate/Vanilla wars, which became far too disorganised for my tastes. Two different threads because even the GAPAs were divided. That, and people were beginning to make up, “Oh, this defeats everyone on the other side no matter what” weapons, followed by, “It didn’t get me!” “Yes it did!” “No it didn’t!” (etc.) Rant, rant, rant…
0
0
61: We really do need to work out our Summer Ball. Bastille and Moon Landing and Independence and all those things are just too nation-specific. I would say a Summer Solstice ball, but that’s so close to the May Day ball it wouldn’t be so fun. Whatever it is, what about mid-July?
0
0
Is there a ranting thread cause I need it ….. NOW!!!
0
0
How about this:
Spring: May Day ball
Summer: Celebrating Summer dance
Fall: Halloween masked ball
Winter: Holiday Party
Is May Day usually masked? Perhaps this year it should just be an old-fashioned, fancy-dress ball, since the Halloween ball is masked.
0
0
66) I think that that would be flaming….
67) Fasching ! MB should celebrate Fashing !

68 -Sorry wasn’t in a good mood as I posted that…

66 – There already is one…

I want a parody thread. It can even be specific.
0
0
Complaints– It’s at nearly 300 posts though, and it’s from 2007. Perhaps a new thread is needed.
68- Flaming is directed at a person, in a mean, spiteful way.
0
0
71- There already is one. Put “parody” into the search box, I’m too lazy to do it myself.
OK, you shall now get a complete summary of what I think we should do for Season Balls.
Spring: Muse Academy May Day Ball
Time Span: the usual
Atmosphere/Theme: Old-Fashioned Ball (not masked)
Dress: Edwardian/Victorian
Music: classical; live orchestra which is mostly Wungs, but has RPed human instrumentalists as well
Summer: Muse Academy School Dance (can have different themes every year; it would say something like “Muse Academy School Dance” for the title of the thread, and then the subtitle would be “The theme this year is Club,” or whatever the theme is).
Time Span: Mid-July- Early August
Atmosphere/Theme: could change every year; or we could just always keep it at Dance Club
Dress: Casual; whatever you would wear to a middle/high school dance, a club, or a dance party
Music: Modern, DJ RPed by whoever wants to do it or a wung if no one wants to
Fall: Muse Academy Halloween Ball
Time Span: the usual
Atmosphere/Theme: Halloween
Dress: Costumed and under alter-ego “masks”
Music: Mostly Halloween themed or scary, but can also be normal songs of any sort mixed in (same as this year)
Winter: Muse Academy Holiday Party
Time Span: Dec. 1-Jan. 2nd or somewhere around there
Atmosphere/Theme: Something wintery; we could do something different this year
Dress: Semi-formal; whatever you’d wear to a holiday party
Music: holiday
(And of course, a gift exchange.)

I think we should do a corny love story thread where everyone can fall in love. And we can make it so corny that it’s funny!

73- I enjoy all Muse Academy dances, but I’m not much of a planner. Anyway, all of those sound good. I might help out this time.
74- I’m down with that. I’m a sucker for romantic comedy.

I love the romantic musical comedy idea! And everyone could speak in Shakespearean English. Or rhyme. Or something. And we would need to post our outfits.

(74, 75, etc.) For romantic comedy — are you talking about an RPG? A RRR?

84- I think an RPG.

I’m so excited!!!
My idea(half mine, it got changed a little bit…) Is being used!!!
Sorry if that sounded kind of vain…
I think it should be an RPG. All the girls could fall in love with one guy!!!

I have an idea for a thread:
an RRR thread where people can only write one sentence at a time…
It could be interesting.
…What do you think?

Hey, I’m at school right now, but I’m not supposed to….
But yeah, I’m a boy. AND I LOVE HG2G!!!!!!
Yeah I was talking about all the girls fallling in love with me.
Just Kidding!!!!!

I want the romantic musical comedy! But we might have to make some aspects of the plot outside the actual RP’ing so it doesn’t get confusing or anyone gets offended because their character is being rejected by another character… ya know.
Okay, here’s my idea. What about an Alternate History thread? I think it would be a sort of RRR/actual discussion of history. Or maybe more like a collaborative project.
The idea behind it is that everyone is creating together an alternative version of history, starting from the beginning when homo sapiens sapiens first becomes a (relatively) intelligent species in Africa. Then we can make random decisions that are different from the way it worked out really– like a different tribe, more warlike, invents the wheel. Or Siddharta Guatama (aka Buddha) preaches that we should all hold onto our material possessions…

90- Now on my agenda is you’re idea…
That would be sooooooo cool. We could change little things, and find out how much they change history. I’d like to see how the U.S. would turn out if Queen Elizabeth was never queen. I thought that maybe england would collaps, and we would all be speaking Spanish!!!!
So yeah… Let’s get supporters!!!!!
0
0
98: I’ve had this idea siince Shakespeare camp last summer, where we did Julius Caesar and practically all my counselor said was “and if such-and-such hadn’t happened, history would have been completely different.” And if Decius Brutus hadn’t appealed to Caesar’s ambition… and if Portia hadn’t killed herself… and if Marc Antony hadn’t made his speech… the Roman Empire would have remained a Roman Republic?
Or even if the Mesopotamians had never moved between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers.
Wow.
C’mon, who’s with us?

99- Oooh, I love alternate history! What if the Chinese hadn’t stopped their exploration fleets and ended up reaching the Americas before the Spanish? What if President Wilson convinced the delegates at Versailles to go easier on Germany?

Hooray! We’ve got Kai on our side!
Let’s start with the beginning. What if the Mesopotamians HADN’T moved between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers? What would have happened then? They probably would have died out, since it wasn’t a great place to be. What then?

Start it GAPAs!

(102) That only worked once, and only because someone was in an indulgent mood. However, if there’s going to be a new graphic tomorrow, I don’t have time to stop and make threads. Maybe one of the other GAPAs will happen by later, but right now they don’t seem to be around.

OKAY. So not yet, but I have a great beginning for the big bang so I call it…(don’t worry I’m not going to change anything big…))

0
105: That’s probably a good thing that you won’t change anything big. I read this article in Discovery Magazine that if practically ANYTHING changed-like, if if gravity had ended up being THAT much stronger, or just ONE law of physics had been tweaked ever so slightly, the conditions for life would not have been possible. Please keep the physical laws the same??

Oh. I’m not going to change anything like that. It’s going to be like something from HG2G.

107: Suddenly I feel very scared… 
Unrelated to AH: PI DAY IS IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS! And I know the amazing MuseBlog could never miss the Great Day where we celebrate pi. I shall now recite from memory:

101- Egypt would have become the first civilization to create writing.
0
0
109: And probably would have become the dominating civilization around, because the wheel is a HUGE advantage. So… Egypt. Here’s something I’ve always wanted to do: one day, a guy named Abraham announces that he has received a message from a single God. He is immediately made pharaoh, and replaces the Egyptian pantheon with his monotheism, kind of like Akhenaten. Which means that, since Egypt is the dominating culture because of the wheel, monotheism spreads MUCH earlier than with the Roman Empire’s conversion to Christianity.

Dearest GAPAs, I have a request. According to the calendar on “the Harry Potter Encyclopedia”, which is a very cool site I discovered today, March 7 is the day that Dobby died. Can we have a thread in honour of poor Dobby’s death? We do, afterall, have threads for fictional characters birthdays, so this isn’t much different…….Please? Y’know, it always broke my heart, how in CoS, Harry made Dobby promise never to try to save his life again, and then in DH, poor Dobby becomes a hero saving Harry’s life, and is rewarded by being murdered by that b****, Lestrange…….I cried for Dobby.
HERE LIES DOBBY, A FREE ELF
“Thank you so much Dobby, for rescuing me from that cellar. It’s so unfair that you had to die when you were so good and brave. I’ll always remember what you did for us. I hope you’re happy now.”
~Luna Lovegood
0
0
Sorry, this is a few months late, but don’t you think that sort of thread would be a bit too specific? Perhaps one of the Harry Potter threads would be better suited for the future..not saying that Dobby doesn’t deserve the extra respect, but I don’t think the GAPA’s would make a thread that specific.
0
0
119 – Yes! Dobby’s was the saddest death in Deathly Hallows. I actually cried when Dobby died (one of two times I’ve cried for a fictional character, the other being Feathertail from Warriors), and I think we should have a thread.
^0|0^ (horrible attempt at Dobby face, with pointy ears, big eyes, and long nose)
0
0
120–I wouldn’t say it was the saddest……I cried much harder when we watched Snape’s memories and my Horcrux theory was confirmed. I was truly bawling then.
And I cried for nearly all the other deaths as well:
Hedwig: a couple tears–I could empathize with Harry so well
Dobby
Fred, a little
Snape: I cried a bit, even though my theory was still in doubt, it was obvious that even if I was wrong (which I wasn’t) that he at the very least swqitched sides at the very end.
Colin, Remus, Tonks, Hagrid (when the spiders took ‘im), I forget the order, but even those we learned about after Harry’s fate, even though i was still sobbing for Harry, some of them were for these as well. (I cried for Harry fromt he moment we learned he ahd to die to the moment he was AKed, the end of that chapter, at which point I had to run to the bathroom to wipe away the snot that was pouring from my nose–hey, I know it’s gross, but htat’s what happens when one cries, so there!)
Yeah, I cried for just about everyone in that book. And the scene w/ the Resurrection Stone still moves me everytime I read it….
0
0
117- i was probably thinking of zemtee vs. lequipe noir vs. prancing dragon slayers but vannilla-chocolate works too
0
0
119 – Yes, I agree! I actually have a lot to say about that particular death, and the deaths in the seventh book in general, so I’d like a thread for that. I miss Dobby.

I think we should have a thread for discussing virtual life, games, etc.

124- We already have a Computer and Video Games thread. Does that not suit your needs?

122- Oh. I guess we differ on our opinions of the word “classic”. Of course, really classic would be Watership Down v. Chuck Norris. Unfortunately, that was a few months before my time.

Aggh, Harry Potter 7! FRED! (It’s a tradition I have with my HP-obsessed friend to yell “FRED!” every time someone brings up Book 7 in a discussion.) He was the most awesomeful house-elf ever!!! Though Beatrix Lestrange is still my fave– well, not my favorite character, but if I could be any of them I would totally be her. She rules. My favorite character is probably either Rita Skeeter or Umbridge, who is my former science teacher in disguise. I swear! She makes the same jokes (bad ones) and she has the same laugh (ear-melting giggle) and she has the same personality (poisoned honey)!
Is there a Harry Potter thread where I could post that same rant? I’m pretty sure there is, but I’m too lazy to find it.

131- I agree that there should be a GLBTQ thread– the discussions often clog up the R&R thread. It could be a discussion of Prop 8, etc. as well as a place where GLBTQ MBers can vent about prejudice (and non-GLBTQ MBers! I have quite a lot to say on the subject.)
0
0
(131, 135) We’ve explained before why we prefer not to have a separate GLBTQ thread. A discussion about Prop 8 could go under Hot Topics; you’re welcome to vent about prejudice on Complaints and Rants or elsewhere. These are human issues and don’t need to be segregated.
0
0
yeah, I agree they shouldn’t be separate, but there are some things about being LGBTQ that are awkward or confusing, like “coming out” for instance, which I doubt is a problem straight people have, but I wouldn’t know. there is also stuff that is helpful to talk about with both LGBTQ and striaght people (mostly related to “coming out”) an LGBTQ thread could also help explain what being gay is like or means to straight / questioning MBers. this could raise tolerance as well as be a kind of online GSA(gay-straight alliance). so with all due respect, oh great and mighty GAPA, I ask you to reconsider your wiseish desicison.

Okay, I had this random idea. What about a Museblog Job Applications thread? You think of creative reasons that wasting time is actually constructive, and type them all out! If we wanted to, we could also expand it into actually getting the jobs, as in people create mock jobs, others apply for them, and then the creator gets to chose one, based on their application. Then… Oh! Maybe we could have ‘Job Points’ or something similar, that you get when you get a job! Okay, that’s my idea. *beams*

I am still desiring of an RPG-style Pie War, similar to the Chocolate/Vanilla pie wars and, I’m sure, other pie wars as well. Does anyone else want this too, or am I a minority of one?

145- -groan- Look, I’m all for RRRs. I love them. I used to be involved in every single one. As an advocate for RRRs, I suggest that if you want one, find an old one and revive it. I’ll help if it’s one I used to work on. Like Terenika. Does anyone remember Terenika? Or FFT? But let’s not start another one.
Anyway, what you’re thinking of is a RPW. -sigh- I did love that old RPW. None of the other ones have measured up to it.

RPW sounds like a good idea. We still haven’t heard from the GAPAs about this. How ’bout it, OEAD?

The RPWs never seemed to work well, because they require all participants to remain active–which never happens.

150- Never seemed to work well? The Vanilla/Chocolate War lasted for numerous threads! Besides, you’re using faulty logic. That could happen with any RPG, but that doesn’t stop us from using them, does it?

There’s thirteen pages of Ship’s Logs, and if that isn’t working, then what is? Roleplaying is fully awesome, and works quite well even if several people fade.

I came up with a blog game that goes like this:
A random person gets a point- a ‘museball’- that they stick on the end of their name. All other players try to stump the muse-baller with factoids and riddles. The first person to give the muse-baller a question they can’t answer trades the answer for the museball. This could be elaborated by giving other players a set number of questions they can ask each new museballer, or setting time limits (In days, of course!)

151,152- RPGing is one thing. RPWing is another thing entirely. Ships’ Logs and the Pie War were/are RPGs, not RPWs.
For those who are confused:
RPG = Role-Playing Game. People narrate stories from their own character’s point of view. Ex. Ships’ Logs, Bunny Apocalypse, Flavor Pie Wars.
RRR = Round Robin wRiting. People take turns writing a novel from the POV of one or two collective characters. Ex. Terraformed, Etheterre, The Sea Roc.
RPW = Role-Playing Writing. Everyone has their own individual character and they all write letters to other people’s characters. Ex. The Empowered.
0

In any case, I still want an RPG pie war.

154- Really? I think the Ships Log’s kinda goes in RPW category, since it’s all people writing. Just not to each other.
GAPA? What do you think about my idea? (posts 140-149, or so) You’re not responding to attempts to communicate. See, if we don’t get at least one GAPA on our side, we don’t get the thread. If we don’t get the thread, there is sadness all ’round. So first you tell us what you think of the idea, then we tell you to make it, or if you don’t like it, we shun you and wait for the next GAPA. Then we repeat the process three more times, or until we get support. Or, if we don’t get it at all, we just keep going. Wait, I’m being demanding. I apologize, oh greatest of administrators.

New Round Robin ‘Riting: I’m all for it. I really want to get involved in one, but all of the ones in progress are either so far along that I feel it would be both rude and difficult to jump in at this point, or are simply not my type of writing.
I vote for fantasy or possibly historical fiction. For fantasy, I have no preference about our world versus alternate world, but the latter would make for an interesting world-building experience.
Does anyone have plot ideas?
0
0
169- NOT. RUDE. Half the RRRs only look dead. Sometimes if you attempt to revive an apparently dead RRR, people will materialize out of the shadows and fall at your feet and offer chocolate. You don’t even have to read it if you think it might be dead, just say “Hello? Can I join?” and if it’s the right RRR you will be loved forever.
Fantasy. If someone wants historical fiction, for heaven’s sake go to RRR SMAS-TT!
And I think we should do alternate-world fantasy.
Alchemy people: My sincerest apologies for abandoning you all. That one didn’t turn out the way I wanted it too, and at that point I was realizing the wisdom of not getting tied down with too many projects. I’m not the fanatic I once was, after the Computer Deprivation and the RRR Craze of 2007. I will no longer read hundreds of posts of conflicting information to join an RRR. But I’m rooting for you!
Aw, now I feel mean. Maybe I’ll join at some point.

Robert, Rebecca, Paul, and Rosanne, according to the Who’s Here page.

Paul and I became GAPAs at the same time. I would suggest, Robert, Rosanne, Rebecca and Paul, as that is the closest we can get to the rhythm of the original without chopping syllables off our names. Besides, the three Rs and a P always seems a natural arrangement.
0
0
Okay. But what size/format is best for these things?
0
0
The CaféPress template for t-shirts is 10 in x 10 in at 200 dots per inch, or 2000 x 2000 pixels. That should give you a starting point.
If you’re going to want other MBers to access the template, we can upload a file to the Photobucket account, but the maximum size it will accept is 2240×1680 (either orientation). File formats can be JPG, GIF, PNG.
I hope that’s the question you were asking.

Well, I finally remembered/began work on my t-shirt idea (see post 179 and following). Unfortunately, my software doesn’t have Arial Black as a font choice, which, as far as I can tell, is the font in the original t-shirt. Right now I’ve got Arial Unicode MS, bolded. It’s pretty close, and I think it looks good. But I think we need more than just the GAPAs’ names on it. What should be on the back? Should there be anything on the back? Should the URL be on the front? Ideas, people. Those are what I need.
Space Queen- When I email the finished files to you, what format do you want them in? Do you want them in PSD files so you can fiddle with the font/colours/spacing? Or would GIF or something be better?
That brings up another question. What colour should they be? White text on a black background for sure, but should there be other choices?
0
0
PSD should be fine if the file isn’t too large for an email attachment. Otherwise GIF or PNG probably, since this is all lettering. JPG makes the edges fuzzy.
0
0
Yeah, I never got that about jpegs. The front of the shirt is only 783 kilobytes in PSD, so I don’t think size will be an issue.
0
0
JPEGs have an advantage for continuous tones, as in photographs or gradients or anything that uses smooth, nuanced shifts in color, but for that very reason the format pays a price in sharpness.
0
0
I know this isn’t exactly the place for it but does moving jpegs around make them lose resolution? Whenever I move my photography from iPhoto where I edit it to the desktop it seems to grow less sharp/clear, and for some things it’s barely noticeable but for photos that already are borderline fuzzy it really detracts from them.
0
0
I don’t know enough about the specific equipment and software you’re using to say for sure. It may also be something about the way the desktop configures the picture. In other words, it may just be an apparent difference, not a real one.
JPEGs use a “lossy” compression — that means it loses data every time it reconfigures, basically each time you edit and save a file. It’s like our memories, rebuilding the scene anew each time, losing some pixels here, shifting some pixels there.
The changes are so subtle that most of the time our eyes can’t pick up the difference on the low resolution of a computer screen — but they can present nasty surprises in print. That’s why, if you’re going to do some real editing, convert your photos to a TIFF or some proprietary format (such as Photoshop’s PSD) that accounts for every pixel. If you need to have the final format in JPEG, make the conversion the very last step.
0
0
Okay, thank you. I just don’t like using PSD so much because every time I want to look at a picture it opens photoshop and that takes *forever* to open. I’ll maybe try TIFFs though I think I tried it before and it did the same thing. Maybe it’s iPhoto…
0
0
I understand what you mean. Although some other programs can open PSDs. TIFFs can be reeaaaalllllyyyyy ssslloooowwww. Nature of the beast, unless you have a very fast processor. That’s why I leave Photoshop open most of the time. I think Photoshop now has a free site with basic picture editing. You might try to track that down and see what it has to offer. I desperately need to be unconscious for awhile, so I can’t stop to look it up right now.

There was a “home” button on the navigation board of the old blog format, but as you point out, it isn’t necessary, since clicking “MuseBlog” accomplishes the same thing without taking up additional space we might want to use for something else later.

What does anime/manga/graphic novels have to do with avatars?

I thought he meant the anime/manga Avatar, since it was capitalized. Sorry!

229.1- You’re thinking of the wrong meaning of avatar. See post 224.
229.1.1- Avatar is an anime series as well as the pictures by our names.

Two ideas, GAPAs:
1. We do have this lovely Suggestion Box, where we
“Tell the GAPAs what to do
‘Cause they clearly have no clue”
as you said back in MA. But what about a thread to, I don’t know how to say this without seeming suckupish, tell the GAPAs what they’re doing right? In past months I have learned the value of complementing people and making them feel good about themselves at every possible opportunity, especially as I have a naturally insulting and annoying personality.
2. Another RPW would be nice, but of a simpler type than the ones we have now. I just read Sorcery and Cecelia, you see, and was fascinated by the idea of the “letter game” that Patricia Wrede and Caroline Stevermer played. As I have no writer friends, or even acquaintances, what about a simple RPW where the first person sets the scene and a few characters, and we can just add on? No external discussion of plot. No confusion. Only a few people would make it work best, though of course everyone is welcome to join. Maybe some of the characters can contact each other without writing letters, so we can just write “So-and-so says…” and “Bob told me to tell you…” And I don’t think the plot should be that complicated either.
Either? Both? Maybe? Help? In your infinite wisdom and mercy? (Okay, now I am being a suckup. But this is the appropriate time to be a suckup, so I’ve got an excuse.)

We usually do the same thing on the thread for MB’s Birthday, August First, which is also GAPA Appreciation Day.
Speaking of which, that’s coming up soon, I should work on a new song for this year

When you search something, one of the things that comes up most is Ebeth’s NaNoWriMo novel. It’s incredibly long, so could the GAPAs manage to hide it, like bookgirl_me’s generation list?

As people have been talking about on the “New Experiment” thread, could there be some kind of I don’t know…. Something that a neophyte could see so that en knew that en didn’t have to sign in to post? As Daisy*Chain said, it might scare them away.
0
0
Well, the New Experiment thread isn’t sticky, is it? It’ll drop to the bottom, neophytes will keep coming in and getting to know the rest of the blog, and they’ll learn about the slower-paced, private threads by word of mouth.

Except they’ll see the “Log In” button as soon as they come on MB. I like my idea (see the New Experiment thread) about the request denied emails.

So, we have 7 people (Kokopelli52 posted on the BA thread) Is that enough? I say the technologies are:
Time travel, but only to places after the invention of time travel
Realizers, they make characters from books real.
Derealizers, they make real people characters from books
Telepathy, but only to people you want, and only if the have a special computer attachment in their brain.
You may suggest more.

Eh, I don’t know about only time traveling into the future – if we could time travel into the past, we could learn more about the past easier. I also assume we would have lightsabers and blasters?
0
0
Of course we do. This is sci-fi. Though we need to think of a name for lightsabers other than lightsabers…
And yeah, I agree with you on the time travel issue. Traveling into the past is fun. The future in time-travel stories seems to be always the same.
0
0
It’s not only into the future. It’s into before time travel was invented. Say, if time travel was invented in 2010, then you could only travel to times after 2010, even if the year was 2020.
0
0
But that’s kind of boring….it would be fun if there was more history involved. Or if we could meet our younger selves.

Maybe the story can be set in an alternate universe where time travel was invented much, much earlier.

I also think it should be a dance. Looser and less formal than the balls, but still maintain the basic premise.

Could we possibly have an RRR for inexperienced writers?
Creative writing has always interested me, but I never really got a chance to pursue it. I’ve always wanted to participate in an RRR, but the plots were too complex, the background knowledge necessary too obcure, and the style of writing too difficult for me to emulate.
I think it would be nice if we could have an RRR for people with little or no creative writing experience. We would want a simple, outlined ahead of time plot. It would also be nice if there were more experienced writers who could keep an eye on the RRR, provide feedback on the writing, and write a little to get the story going in the right direction if needed.
0

That’s a really nice idea. I don’t know if I’d do it, but I’m voting for it.

Dearest GAPAs,
How are you? I am fine. Next week, as you may be aware, is Canada day. I was hoping that maybe we could have another Canada thread to celebrate the ocation. We would talk about Canadian history, traditions, politics, basically anything Canadian. Thanks a million.
Sincerely,

Idea:
I was reading Thud! the other day, by Terry Pratchett, and wondered if it would be possible to play the game Thud on MuseBlog? Here are the rules as I understand them:
1. It is played between 32 dwarf pieces and 8 troll pieces.
2. Dwarfs can move as far as they want in any direction. (Like queens.)
3. Trolls can move one space in any direction. (Like kings.)
4. The board is shaped like an octagon, with a rock in the middle that no one can jump over.
5. The trolls are placed around the center, and the dwarfs are placed around the edges.
6. You take pieces the same way you do in chess.
6a. Except you can take multiple pieces at a time, like in checkers.
7. Apparently the dwarfs don’t always win.

Problems: How big is the rock? Just one tile? And What shape would the tiles be?
I like it, though.

What are these ball things?

Although I have never been to one, I have read through some of the past ball threads and so I know that they are basically virtual parties that take place (duh!) on the site through (sometimes) multiple threads. Often they have themes, (such as the masked Halloween Ball) and sometimes, it seems, that they are more just like regular dances. Sometimes the girls reveal what dresses they are wearing through pictures, or by just describing them in detail. Overall, they do seem like a lot of fun.
0
0
266-Virtual Parties. They are very nice.
CAKE! Okay, I understand why we can’t have a Summer Ball. But I really, really want to have another ball to be space-race/1960s themed, because I love that idea.
Or maybe I could dress up as a hippie for the Halloween Ball, and Mia can be a spacecraft.

How do masked balls work? Is it kind of like Alter Ego, where you keep your identity secret via false name and email? If so, do we reveal who we were the next day?

That’s about it, yeah, except that one “day” at Muse Academy is closer to a month. There isn’t any guessing while the ball is going on, but once it’s over, people try and guess who everyone else was. It’s the Halloween Ball that we use these disguises.

I know. Looking back, I’m not entirely sure why I responded to Rainbow*Star. So, we don’t reveal who we were unless we’ve been guessed?

I was just mulling this over and I was wondering, in the spirit of the upcoming movie, if we could make a Harry Potter roleplay story thread? You know…one where everyone makes a character and we interact at Hogwarts and such, with houses and wands and Quidditch…the whole shebang. I don’t know if we’ve ever had one, but it’s always sounded like fun to me! I also know that we have a lot of RPG’s but considering the events of this week, I thought that lots of people might go for the idea. Just throwing it out there and hoping it will stick…cheers!

For the magic RPG, would it help if we had a specific plot idea and/or rules?
Plot:
The Faerie world is spilling over onto Earth, and a handful of humans are beginning to discover their magical powers. Magic has existed on Earth all along, but most people didn’t know where to look for it. Now the beings from Faerie are enlisting these magical humans to fight in their war–a classic Good vs. Evil. Each side is trying to get to as many humans as possible.
Rules:
-Each character gets a maximum of two powers and two only. One should be considerably smaller than the other.
-If human, they can either know or not know of their powers at the beginning of the RPG, but they can’t conveniently discover a new power just in time to get themselves out of something.
-If they have a magic sword or other weapon, they can only have one power.
-NO anime/manga style characters, unless they’re in Faerie, and then only a couple. We’ve already got a ton of anime/manga characters in SF.
-No characters with higher than a 30 on the Mary Sue litmus test. No cheating out of this. If they got higher than a 30, you can rework them and still stay in the RPG.
-Faerie characters can look however you want them to as long as they’re below a 30. Human characters should be relatively normal looking, although they can look slightly odd when they’re using their power–silver eyes, a glow, etc. If they’re half-human and half-Faerie, you’re pushing it. Stay below a 30.
Is this reasonable?

That sounds cool, but what is the Mary Sue litmus test?
0

A test to give characters to see if they are Mary Sues. You can find it on Google. (A Mary Sue is a character that has no drawbacks/ is abnormally powerful, or all drawbacks that en possesses can be very easily overcome. Such as, oh, I don’t know, a Vampire that is impervious to sunlight?)
This sounds fun- also, to maintain rule two, maybe we should all know what our characters powers are, even if our characters don’t.)

Man, you must REALLY hate Twilight. Actually, it is really badly written. i just read it for the werewolves. Okay, I’m vote for a magic RPG then. It sounds really fun.

Meh. Haven’t read it. I just don’t see why, when writing a story about Vampires, you have to alienate the MOST FAMOUS trait that they possess. And also, if I’m going to die, I’d rather dissipate instantaneously instead of being caught and stabbed through the heart with a big splinter. I mean, seriously, sparkly vampires?
So… GO MAGIC RPG!

People always complain about the Twilight vampires being such Mary Sues, but really, isn’t Harry Potter just as bad? I mean, I like Harry Potter, but I did the Mary Sue litmus test on him, skipping the questions about “is your character resembling you” and Harry potter still scored nearly 100. I just think you’re not being quite fair to Twilight. *continues ranting* Sorry. Don’t bother reading this.
SFTDP

*reads anyway* Maybe you should have put the warning at the beginning? Oh well. Harry Potter has serious temper problems, which might draw back a little, but yeah, maybe he is a Gary Stu.
And hey, being not quite fair is fun!

The term “Mary Sue” seems to be changing in meaning. When I first learned it, it referred specifically to a fanfiction character obviously (and annoyingly) created to fulfill the writer’s fantasies of self-perfection, success in someone else’s fictional universe, and romantic involvement with someone else’s fictional characters. That’s certainly the sort of Mary Sue that the Sparklypoo comic satirized. Now, however, it seems to mean any fictional character you consider too good to be true.

I have two requests:
1) May we have a theatre thread, please? We have one, but it was created in September of ’07 and was last posted on in January.
2) May we please have a new installment of cooking and food? The current one was created last March and has not been posted on since December.

I just got an idea for how we can combine Halloween and 1960s- the theme of the Halloween ball could be the original series of The Twilight Zone!

Oooh, yes. That would be awesomely fun. Even though I’ve never seen even the current series of Twilight Zone.

We wouldn’t necessarily be specific characters, but it would give us a chance for slightly off-kilter 60s decor and costuming. (Maybe in black and white?)

What about an Ensemble RPG?*
Similar to the Ensemble RRRs, it would be a *role-playing game involving 4 to 6 characters. (I would propose this on the “Paleophyte” suggestion box, but I can’t find it. Should have bookmarked it…) This might solve the problem of excessive characters and rapid action that some people have complained about.
Also, with a smaller group, it would be easier to find a niche on the sliding realism scale of “Grim ‘n’ Gritty———–Ninja Pirate Magic Robots” that all players enjoy.

*whispered* There’s a very nice catagory called ‘Paleostuff’ that you can look at to find it.

Alright, I have two ideas for RPGs that have been bouncing around in my head for a while. (Actually, they’ve been bouncing around in text files on my computer, but whatever.) Here they are.
This first one was thought up more recently.
Basic Plot:
Aliens from across the universe send some of their number to earth, collecting information, to send back to their planets.
Complex Background:
Centuries ago, the denizens of the planet Melthos invented a way to move quickly through space. They used their knowledge to begin to explore the universe, sharing their technology. However, although the Melthosians were peaceful, the other planets were not so much so. After many horrible wars involving the technologies of tens of planets, the Melthosians gathered representatives from all the planets, and formed the InterPlanetary Federation. Thousands of planets were discovered, and all sent representatives to the Federation. Finally, they happened upon another planet. Something told them this one was different. After a meeting of the Federation, they decided against contact. However, several of them secretly sent off spies, disguised as humans, to find more about this strange race. The first thing they discovered was the strange name of the planet. Earth…
This one was made up more then a year ago, for Neopets roleplayers, which are, needless to say, quite different from MBers. I never posted it, and it probably needs quite a bit of refinement.
Setting:
The kingdom of Celestia. There are four cities, plus one in ruins. They are arranged in a circle/square thing, with the biggest one in the center. The ones around it represent Art, Knowledge, and War. The fifth one was destroyed long ago, and no one knows what it once represented. However, these do not concern us right now. Our story takes place in the main one, which has residents from all the other cities. It has all sorts of things in it, with all the other cities combined in one. Everywhere you look you can see warriors practicing, artists doing art, and scholars learning. There’s even a few people from the forgotten fifth city. But not even they know anything about it.
