Haha. My ‘input’ is hardly earth-shattering 😛

How do you guys keep playing so fast! I was going to try and put up a post today but the story’s moved on about 5 times ?

[misterjoshua]

Cheers for acting on my behalf Jack. Also, it seems my OP character is out of date but that’s fine for now 🙂

Sorry chaps, the games moving far too fast for me at the moment. Keep going and I’ll post when I can. I’ll assume Jan is with Al on the roof, and can take a shot if needed though he only has an AK-97 of his own.

Jan sat beside Al in the truck as they made their way to John’s supplier. He sniggered lightly to himself when recalling the exchange between the two. He could easily forget what a softie Al was…

“I don’t get it” he struck up after a while. “Maybe I missed something. Why are we looking to hijack this Ving dude if he’s gonna be at the meeting later? Isn’t that just extra work? And it might draw more attention to us. Wouldn’t want to risk them not attending. They’d miss the show.”

Hi Obi

Might not be easy to implement but a lot of forums have the ability to take you to the next unread post. Could we add that in? It makes it easier to follow games.
Cheers

[misterjoshua]

Ok cheers.

Some more suggestions:

Have forums be white text on black background

The last one isn’t important, but I always liked how dumpshock was white text on black. Any chance we could flip it or do people prefer the black on white?

”John could go in with Tanya.” Jan added at last. He’d been musing over a plan. ”He’s least known to the Triads and I dare say could survive a decent explosion. We go in and rig the building, John with his vantage can make the call. If he says blow it he can save Tanya, or Ving Sung, or neither as he pleases. If he has it under control we sit back and wait.”

It was one of those plans that sounded a lot easier than it was. For them to rig the building they’d have to negotiate heavy security, physical and matrix, and possibly magic. That last one might be a sticking point.

”Must say, I’m a fan of the ‘blow all the fuckers to hell’ plan.” Jan spoke up from the corner. ”We’re not likely to get this many important people together at one time and know about it. It’s clean. It’s nondiscriminatory.”

After Tanya had left – and he’d made sure she was well clear – Jan had relayed his intel to the room. It’s accuracy was unverified, but it suggested that Fu Shing could have been involved in the contract on them. How or whether to act on it was another matter.

I’ve always gone with Aria’s original 2072 colour scheme which was:
Post Tag
Speech
Matrix

I then added
Matrix voice

The yellow doesn’t show up so well on the white background though.

I always assumed John’s text was red because of his robot voice 😛

[misterjoshua]

Haha. That’s weird. Ok I’ll give it a try. I was using #codes though.

Cheers!

Hey Obi. Cheers, got my account working now.

Some ideas for your suggestion box 😀

– Is there a bbcode guide for colour tags? They seem to be different from the ones on Dumpshock (my orange turned green). Maybe there’s just a list of accepted colours?
– Is it possible to have a text editor be part of the posting to save people having to type out the bbcode? I don’t mind if not cos I use bbcode a lot, but some people might not.
– Mythweavers have a really cool ‘roll’ bbcode command that rolls dice for you. Dunno how hard that is to implement. I imagine quite hard. If you could do it though that would be ace!

Cheers
Josh

Ok, so the colour codes are off. I’l try and find out the new ones. 🙂

If we could stick to a colour scheme of some sort it really helps me out with the blocks of text.

Testing some bbcode

Jan laughed from the doorway at Al’s guidance of Tanya’s getup. “So just get her to dress up how you like, eh?” Al looked a little relieved to see Jan and redress the balance of personalities in the room. Jan looked different. Clean. He’d showered and slept, and his clothes were new.
“Scrubbing dried blood from the nails takes a while, and I decided catch a few hours kip. Sorry” he finished, by way of a non-apology. “Got a decentish return. And some intel….” He trailed off without offering the information, as if that would satisfy the needs of the group.

“So, where we at with proceedings? What you cowboys been up to?”
