Congratulations on your promotion.

Is there anybody out there? Just nod if you can hear me...

[quote name='Omniscient1' timestamp='1313547928' post='2782559'] Was just going to say PPO didn't disband. This is a great thread though. [/quote] Whoopsie. Misread that and now fixed.

[quote name='Rush Sykes' timestamp='1313535514' post='2782447'] If more new players had this kind of enthusiasm , we would be in a better position. Anyone coming down on this young lady for at least making an effort to do something community oriented, is just being a massive buzzkill. Carry on Skylar, let me know if you need any help. [/quote] Thanks, bur it all wears off quickly when you're met with lots of disrespect, sarcasm and all around negativity.

[quote name='JoshuaR' timestamp='1313464820' post='2781963'] I'm actually a fan of the first for reasons of aesthetics, and it's still got enough information for me to figure out what's going on. [/quote] Its easy to read and simple to update. I'm am awaiting on approval before officially adding the 'Open World RP' section.

Still need some people.

[quote name='Baldr' timestamp='1313458254' post='2781867'] Of those, I like the 2nd option better. But I'm not picky, as long as there is a basic description of the thread, and an easy to click link. Also very useful, since many people who will use this sort of thing will *not* read it every day, is links to previous older news. This is the old format, which worked pretty well IMO. [url="http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=90318"]http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=90318[/url] That section under "Links to old news" is very useful, and should be easy to do. Someone mentioned including stuff from the Great Sanction Race. I don't think I'd bother. I'd just put an easy link to get there. [/quote] One thing the old layout had was a direct link to the the Sanction Race for that specific day. Think that would work? Also, I reserved the second post for old links

[quote name='Sarmatian Empire' timestamp='1313423383' post='2781335'] The casual players likes threads like these [/quote] Thanks Sarmatian Empire. Since you're here, mind throwing any suggestions out that could possibly improve this? or maybe even a suggestion to expand it? or anything in particular you'd like to see in the format?

I like your format idea. We should use this thread to also think of ways to "improve" this idea. Maybe somehow make it appeal to everyone. Any ideas? Then once we decided exactly how everything will be done we could start us a fresh one with out the bickering and such.

[quote name='zigbigadorlou' timestamp='1313421307' post='2781319'] It would also be REALLY helpful if someone could summarize the discussion in the threads that are like 60 pages briefly. I mean for real, I doubt most read those, but there's probably a lot of info in it. [/quote] Ya know. I disagree with the term "a lot" in this sentence. Only being here a short time I have read every post on some of those 60 page threads. I've so far learned absolutely nothing from them except how to say "no you" in 4 different languages.

[quote name='zigbigadorlou' timestamp='1313421307' post='2781319'] don't worry too much about RV. He likes to randomly blow smoke at people to pretend like he's important. sometimes it works... Personally, I think it'd be really good to have the three titles with subdivision (when needed) For instance: OWF: Miao miao miao w/e no one reads this Global: Stuff meh Alliance: tab italic Treaty I don't like vegetables accords link tab italic Mergers and acquisitions VE died link tab italic Wars BAWWWW link It would also be REALLY helpful if someone could summarize the discussion in the threads that are like 60 pages briefly. I mean for real, I doubt most read those, but there's probably a lot of info in it. [/quote] All I can say is... what?

[quote name='Ardus' timestamp='1313382429' post='2781118'] Would you prefer I returned to Ponies or the 8-ball? [/quote] You don't know me. I don't know you. But its quite clear the OBVIOUS answer is Ponies

So Baldr since you're someone who is a perfect user of this program. What do you feel would be the easiest navigation. Those of you who may also appreciate this thread I would love to hear your opinions too. [quote]Sample 1. Date Treaty: X and Y signed Z Notice: G cancelled their treaty with U DoW: HHH declares war on HHH [/quote] or [quote]Sample 2. Date Alliance Announcements --- so and so did this Open World RP ---- that guy has been here since the beginning. ---- etc etc etc World Affairs ---- NFY Relaunched today[/quote]
