    I do find that that helps. I can generally understand each character and what it means. It took me forever to figure out that that little thing that looks like a c makes an "S" sound though. Theta was particularly confusing as well, but then I saw it in "THanatos" and stuff like that and I caught on. Orthodoxy taught me to read Greek! Now onto Cyrillic...

    I'll do my best.

    It'll wait until tomorrow, though.

    Not to poop on your shoes, but ACW ran for 2 months and 7 pages. WEF and other IHs have lasted much longer

    Yes, but the ACW IH lasted seven TURNS, which IIRC is the longest we've run

    An arbitrary term. Highgate lasted for 12389716209781243 cycles before I had to retire it due to the MCAT. I demand to be listed!

    Highgate wasn't an IH. It wasn't interactive and it wasn't history.

    Lol man, the point is - your turns finished as soon as everyone submitted their orders. WEF and RB turns sometimes lasted for weeks, depending on the amount of action and legislation to be done. I think you should be giving Barry credit where deserved

    Okay, I'll add an addendum tomorrow - ACW IH was the longest *turn-based* IH that ran.

    It's either the name change or the player bios, Dan.

    Uhh...what? You can't simply edit the post so that it says Czarist as my name?

    How can I do the bios when I don't know ANY of that about more than half the members? It's not laziness, it's the fact that I'm not gonna go digging back through dozens of threads just so I can write a worthless bio!

    Fred - it seemed like he was making you choose between him editing in your bio and editing in your name, when he'd have to open the editor tool either way... so why not just do both lol

    Because editing in the name is far easier.
