Suddenly I'm reminded of the time Bosch threw down a circle of equals at me, and declared he'd fight augmented and with an Abrams.  I said okay, then as the challenged declared our battle would be at 30,000 feet and my weapon is a parachute.

Think creatively, RotS!  You can whip that foxboy easy!
Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen,
Tod und Verzweiflung flammet um mich her!
Fühlt nicht durch dich Jadefalke Todesschmerzen,
So bist du meine Tochter nimmermehr!

Haha. RotS I'm obviously joking. It was one of those times I felt compelled to write a response with an in universe flavor. But since those in character responses from players are awkward and toothless on the forums I had to make sure that it was also funny and self aware....

I'm the forums Sea Fox Stephen Colbert...

Though... note entirely ironic. I will continue to trial of possession the Wolves for their fan thread page name.  ;D

Still, though, finish up your fight in the next few posts so we can get back on topic (hint hint).

The Table of Contents mention of Marian rampages has me understandably nervous. Hopefully my good Canopian neighbors will have our back if things get too crazy. :p

Niops can you do me a favor and remove the spoiler from your quotation. It is not so difficult to read against that blue background.

Kitsune,  your spoiler text isn't working so well for those of us using the dark republic theme.

White on dark gray really stands out.

Done.

By the by, what ever happened to the spoiler tag? Victim of a board update?

Hmm. I've attempted to also make them not very spoilery. Are their more themes I'm not aware of? All of the color changes in the top right keep the light grey background. Though it could also simply be that my monitor is fairly bright.

What are the tags you're using? Can you post the back-end of them for everyone else and we can just use that as a convention?

It's imperfect, but it'll help a bit.

Mind if I hold you off on that for a moment? I'd rather go along with Cubby's preferences and how he'd like to track that kind of thing. This is the "official"-est discussion thread and it's stickied for a reason.

I appreciate your initiative, but stand by for a moment.

I'm looking into getting the spoiler tag fixed, but no promises. People smarter than me would have to look into it.

I forgot about that! Good times, good times.

And I think having a separate spoiler thread is a good idea for now. The Mods can always merge the threads later, if/when the spoiler tags are fixed.

Spoiler tags are back!!

But you have to type them in manually:

That's [ spoiler ] and [ /spoiler ] (but without the spaces after and before the brackets) for the uninitiated.
