I definately think Al should invent a 13-sided die. Just because it would be very cool.

And, anonymous, I don't think that bugs have the mental capacity large enough to conceptualize a god. I think things like suddenly being moved outside just happen and they just continue along. Actually sounds kinda nice, if you ask me.

Go Al! Do it!

By the way, what's with all this 'judgemental' business over dice? What if you stumbled upon someone rolling an electric 10000 sided dice that constantly changed numbers on all sides? What then? WHAT SAY YOU!?! JUDGE ME DAMN YOU!

Oh, I do think an electric die would be neat to have. You can roll it yourself and watch the electric version spin as well! Then, maybe without you knowing, when you spin that die, you spin your life.

EDIT: MWA HAHAHAHAHAHA...HAHAHAHA.... Good afternoon.

All this talk of dices has given me a idea, I think I should put my mechanical engineering degree to use and make the worlds first 13 sided dice. It might be a tad on the physical impossible side but if it fails maybe a quatum singularity will be created instead.

bah... way to see right through me Alison... way to take the fun out everything :)

An insect crawls along your kitchen floor. You take a sheet of paper towel and place it in front of the insect to crawl upon. You release the insect outside.

WHEN YOU ARE AN INSECT, WHO IS YOUR GOD?

huh? in my sleep-muddled state, i'm pretty sure you're ribbing me, Beck, but the only response i can think of, at this juncture is "gwah?"

besides, isn't obtuse an angle? i'm not sure i'd prefer being acute, so obtuse is okay with me for now.

um... yeah, I was debating pointing out the speed at which I was rebuffed, and decided against it, but I'm always up for being disproved like that.

and not that I'm trying to imply any judgement here - honest, no matter what you think - Albert, I have not actually ever played D&D, so I did not know about the ten-sided die. I never suggested we ought to not accept the possibility of a ten-sided die existing, nor that any other strangely large-number-sided die was impossible, I just wasn't aware, in my own personal experience, of a ten-sided one. I do know that Scattergories has a 20-sided die, I never doubted that... I just didn't know about the ten-sided one.

Oh, and thanks for the beta-testing help there, guys. I'll move the new version over soon. The only real features you might notice are that when you preview, it'll update the messages below (so, if someone's posted while you're writing, it'll show up before you post) and un-editing should finally work as it's supposed to (although I had to re-upload a file just now to make that the case). Really, the update was just housekeeping for me (although, based on my experience in my new job, it looks like I could use a lot of cleaning up to make the whole codebase easier to manage. That's for another day, though; this change was just me being bored in the car.)

There are two actual features I've been looking at adding: automatically posting a message when someone adds an event, and a javascript doohickey (sorry for the jargon there) that would auto-reload the page when a new message was posted. (The latter is more a proof-of-concept proposition than anything else.) Time will tell how motivated I am to get those done, though.
