Okay, so I will pick for you. ;)
Good News:
The SR section of www.chronoplast.net is nearly complete. I am working on the intro in between my forum responses.
Bad News:
I am not releasing it until January. Necropotence was kind enough to offer to draw me some pictures to display for my cast section, and I am allowing him time to do so.
More Good News:
In the meantime, I will be updating fan fics, art and whatnot until then. I will also be working on the SR2 section, and should be able to release both SR sections at the same time.
Thanks for your patience! :)

What have you done to get one? And no, spamming (especially my threads) doesn't count. :p ;)

You know that gets old after awhile, right? :rolleyes:
EDIT ~ And to answer your question, you have to do something totally memorable.
Blinc is wonderful at tech support and devises interesting methods of discovering new and hidden info. Take a look at his PAL codes on the SR forum.
warp is just warp. :p And he brings us lovely discussions with Ms. Amy.
(Not to mention a long-standing inside joke between us).
Chris is the one who keeps us all in check and offers us great LOK prizes and to show us around if we ever manage to get to CD.
Amy gets one...I really hope to God you don't make me explain why she gets one. ***insert common sense here**** :rolleyes:
Kain gets one because he's my favorite character and without him, none of us would be here.
Yoda gets one because of the reasons I stated on his shrine.
And I pay the hosting fees, and made/maintain the site and can make a shrine to whomever I want to, whenever I want to. :p

Yeah, it does get old. I don't know, I was just in a crazy mood.
Oh, and the shrine thing? I was joking. I don't want a shrine. Shrines usually are hard to navigate and you must solve next to impossible block puzzles to enter and/or escape. I have enough trouble navigating my little brother's bedroom.
Sorry. I was joking. Again.

But, Kain, you DO have a shrine.
Kain: I WANT A- Eh?
You heard. Now go away! (boots Kain from the forum for the umpteenth time)
:eek:
How dare you portray Kain in an incorrect manner! Then boot him away!
>_<

I suppose now you've got your head stuck in the computer screen? Unless you can somehow lunge at people through time and space. :p
That is the way I always portray Kain for humor purposes. As an author, I can do whatever I want, as long as I remember the disclaimers. :p
"Being an author is like being a god, except on a much smaller scale." -Who was it that said this again? Oh yeah... I think it was me.

Create your own thread for your spam and refrain from polluting mine.

So who's spamming? I tried to stop with my apology but THIS person just re-ignited the arguement.
By the way, Gandalf is who I picked for the shrine, because Gandalf ("The Grey One" not to be confused with Grey Mouser) is my favorite LoTR character next to Strider (Aragorn is his name, but I like Strider better) and I really don't like the MoTU or those other guys quite as much (no offense, Vampmaster!).

1. It takes 2 to tango. You didn't have to further fuel it. :rolleyes:
2. It's Gandalf the White as of Dec. 18th.

Actually, no.
As an author, you may do whatever you wish with your OWN characters, and your OWN environments. They are yours, and no one can ever change that. Just as George Lucas is free to ruin the Star Wars franchise with horrid movies like Episode II, so to are you free to do whatever you wish with your OWN creations, in whatever capacity you choose.
However, when you are working with someone ELSE'S material, in whatever capacity you use it in, you have a responsibility to remain true to the original intent of the author. It's called authorian integrity, and it's a recognized convention in the literary world. You don't take someone else's creation and then totally whang it around however you please - that's called plagiarism, and you can actually do jail time for that if an author decides to press charges. Let's use SW as an example again - every time someone puts out an SW novel, they have to get approval from Lucas and his lawyers. Each entry is carefully reviewed, and although they can somewhat deviate from the original continuity in terms of storyline (there was a recent novel in which Chewbacca was killed), they cannot completely change the character or turn them into something Lucas never meant them to be. If they do that, the novel gets rejected, and if they try to publish anyway, they find themselves on the receiving end of a very painful lawsuit. So no, Domingo, you DON'T have a right to do whatever you want when it concerns someone else's material. You can write with it, but you can't hack it. That's not writing, that's just stealing.
And as to your self-quote about being a writer being equivalent to godhood, it is, but again, only insofar as your OWN work is concerned. You create people, a world, and situations... That is much like being God. However, working with someone else's stuff isn't the same. Maybe after you've had a little more experience, you'll understand that concept... And maybe you'll also get the idea that quoting yourself lends no credence to your arguments, especially when you do it so arrogantly: "Oh, that's right, it was me..."
BAH!!!

I would vote for Vampmaster or Mr T.
Don't worry about the delays in updating the site sections, Umah. It is better that you take all the time you need. I'm sure Necropotence's work will be worth the wait! :)
Will the SR1 section be animated like the BO1 section (or is that classified information)? ;) :p

Indeed. Necro does an excellent job with his artwork.
I could tell you about the SR1 section, Ardeth, but I'd have to kill you. ;)
Actually, it will be animated in flash as well, although I don't think there will be any interactivity involved with it.
