Let me be the first to welcome you to our new forums. Please bear with us as we resolve a number of administrative issues. More subforums will be coming along as time allows. For now, I suppose you can post any questions you have, or suggestions, or whatever you want I guess.

I have made two quick modifications to the forum, let me know if you like them. I can remove them if necessary. The first one renamed the "karma" system to a Morality one as you can see under our avatars. I think it fit better for a Nexus War based forum. The second one was adding a random dice rolling system. There's a little die icon added up there with the Bold and Italic icons when you're making a post. Pressing it will roll a die and you won't know the result until you've posted. It defaults to a six sided one but you can actually pick anything by changing the number, like this: [ dice=20 ] or even [ dice=10+3 ] Not only can you not see what you will roll but once it's rolled everyone will see the same number and you can't change it short of totally removing the dice command from your post. It's fun, we could actually have a roleplaying game with it if we wanted. In the spirit of making the forum more entertaining I could also install a level up bar linked to your post count and you'd know how many posts you need to "level" to the next title, assuming we decide to use titles. They could start from pauper all the way through philanthropist and then to otter, or something. There's also the possibility of linking avatars to them, or not. Well anyway you guys let me know what you think about these two quick mods. Cheers! Let's see if I can roll a critical hit... [dice=20] Edit: 5?

And to think I used to get quite exercised about having to join new forums for factions. But I've done it so rarely in the past 18 months this actually feels quite novel!

Heh, lookin' good. I've gotten out of the habit of visiting forums, so prod me in IRC if anything important comes up.
Aaaaaand... [dice=6]
Not bad...[rand=63455670335159413751550841718446179511281863925737023188703766675]

Just a note. If you are running noscript or an equivalent you have to let proboards run scripts for the dice script to work.
Quick! Roll initiative!

I agree with Masumi, this does feel rather novel..[rand=245256923668507622620470819658045911697766535981711473967471268764]
