Oh, nifty.

lurkingkobold is adorable. Dispersive Prism is delightful.

I have sent a few OOC PMs, but mostly to get information that Andrew would have access to already that I do not. For example, my most recent one was to Leaf asking about details of the book Before the Jump, which Andrew has already had conjured.

I also sent some OOC PMs to the SCP foundation accounts, but those were things I would have addressed here if I knew who was running those accounts and knew that they checked here.

A summary of notable eeeee's, to the best of my memory:
1. Dispersiveprism and lurkingkobold are adorable
2. I am very entertained by Cardea and ArtlessIlluminator
3. There is a Miles! I got to talk to the Miles!
4. I've remarked on this in-character a couple of times (this is the sort of thing she appreciates), but I'll say it again: people are really good at explaining concepts that we take for granted but that are unfamiliar to our characters.
5. So many creative settings (I want to hear more about Pantheon, Garden, and the Gray Library).
6. !!QUALITY DISCOUNT SPELLBOOKS!!

Which account(s) do you write for, Anthusiasum? Is it Fortunomancer?

[anthusiasm]

Yep! Sorry, thought I mentioned that.

thank you! Cardea's native language is so different from our own that I have trouble producing English while thinking in Cardea's language. It's not a conlang in the usual sense (I don't have it hammered out what each colour and shape means in particular) but I know a some about the grammar (I studied linguistics once upon a time), and both the spoken and written forms of her language have an everything-at-once property that makes translating it into English hard. It's only sequential on a sentential level.

I'm still not entirely sure whether she's more like a beetle, a butterfly, or a fairy, though I'll probably know later -- I saw somebody else use an extended definition of human and ran with it so I wouldn't have to decide yet.

Her species' language is based on an actual thing that some real species of beetles do (though probably not for communication).

Her species experiences time differently than we do and she doesn't know enough about how others experience time to explain in character yet.

I have no in character way of asking the writer of the Garden Human if she was correct in the math here because when I did the math it looked like her species lived only 1-2 earth years: http://manyworlds.boards.net/post/133

OK, I added a hidden OOC board. It's visible when you're logged out, so newbies have a chance of finding it, and I can manually add people to be able to access it while logged in. I think this is not quite my ideal compromise, but it's probably not terrible. Better suggestions are welcome.

I'm confused about what you gain from making it accessible to logged-out people but not to logged-in people unless you explicitly add them...?
