Awesome picture. :D

Side note - People wonder why they're getting sick here. Yet they don't realize, we go from 60 degree weather yesterday with rain.. to 20 degree weather and snow today. *thumbs up* Way to go weather, like I wanted all 4 seasons in one week. :(
Oh look, another glorious morning… makes me SICK!

I guess we're lucky having only two seasons in a week. Spring and winter.

Nope, we've had "Early summer", spring, winter, and a hint of fall so far. :(

*sigh* I really am in the mood for some dark roleplay at the moment... but my only character in anything close to a 'dark' situation successfully escaped from it almost two and a half Cantr-years ago. Kind of annoying.

I'd spawn a new character, but I'm still trying to kill off a few of my earlier ones, and I'm not sure I have the energy to figure out how to make a character that easily veers into some variation of darkness.

Wow, the new post on new suggestion forum rules is a big joke, and unless I'm just an idiot (which is entirely possible) makes really no sense at all.

The new rules?

I don't disagree. Thought I shouldn't be the first to post about it though.

Yeah the newest post about polls and opinions.


Again, maybe I'm misunderstanding it.

Personally I've loved the recent boost in suggestion forum polls. It allows me to weigh in on things that I support or don't, even if I have nothing new to add or my thoughts have been stated by someone already.

It's important to make people feel involved, and polls are a great way of community engagement. It's also a great indicator of how many players actually support an idea - which is important, because you don't want to develop a feature that's going to make everyone quit the game.

I think the problem is the wording of the polls and the choices presented, not the usage of polls itself.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks it was a poor ruling. It's basically banning you from voicing your support to a suggestion if you have nothing to add, and in some cases, suggestions are originally already functional and need no changes, so as a result, no one is allowed to reply.

And in place of votes, we're probably going to see an influx of "Yeah, I agree!" and "I support this"; vapid empty posts that would otherwise not clutter the suggestions thread with a poll.

Doesn't it say that posts voicing opinion aren't allowed? I read that as banning I agree posts.
