I would like to be idled Sorry folks—I’m travelling and can’t keep up with the game. Hopefully back soon. Excalabur 06/21/14 1 06/21/14
Excalabur?  I’m back! I unidle. Knights 8 -> Quorum 5. We’ll see how long I stick around—-I’ve just moved internationally and have some time before I start work. I forget how to add myself to the GNDT, though. I have been idle for years, which I’ll take as an excuse. Can someone add… Excalabur 05/20/14 3 05/21/14

Idle me, svp I have hit the wall of caring this week, for some reason. I had a cool proposal or two all ready, waiting on another prop to enact, and then… couldn’t be bothered actually proposing it. That means it’s time to step away for a bit. I’ll try to get that… Excalabur 10/28/09 3 10/28/09

Two potential new templates Now I remember why this template was a bunch of work: EE’s library on their site is actually quite small. We’d have to hack on either of these a bit to make them fit. As an alternative, going through our current templates and cleaning up may be just easier. Here’s… Excalabur 10/18/09 8 10/18/09
Queries and Notices I changed the Veto icon to the arrow, reversed. It looks better on the row of icons, at least. I also, while looking at the sidebar, moved it to the other side for a change of pace. If anyone seriously objects, it can go back. Kevan mentioned that he’d like… Excalabur 10/15/09 24 10/15/09
Administration Could admins please record the final vote total on proposals. You have to count them up anyway, and it’s approximately required (or was interpreted as such for a long time), and it’s handy to find out just how much people like or dislike a given proposal.

Unidle me I request to be unidled. Excalabur 10/07/09 1 10/07/09
Expression Engine Upgrade The blog will go down at approximately 1PM AEST Saturday (3AM GMT, 11PM EST Friday) for a backend upgrade. Hopefully this will take less than an hour, at which point everything should work again. No predictions as to if that actually happens. Excalabur 08/28/09 3 08/28/09
Rockstar! My shell/ftp access is fixed. New veto icon uploaded. Old one archived, at /images/vote/veto/seal.gif.qwaz EE upgrade will hopefully happen this upcoming weekend, late friday night NA time, if we can get the backups to work right. (I’m in the AEST time zone now, GMT +10, so I’ll be working saturday… Excalabur 08/25/09 17 08/27/09
Three Queries 1. It was mooted at some point that implementing automatic daily/weekly adjustments on the GNDT would be a good idea. Did that ever get done? 2. Why do vetoed proposals get adminned out of sequence? This has several negative effects, primarily that it rewards making proposals so bad they get… Excalabur 08/25/09 6 08/26/09
An August solution Delete all dynastic rules from the ruleset. Declare the winner of the current dynasty to be 75th trombone, for his continual support of Blognomic; however, 75th trombone will not become the Phil, make an Ascension Address, nor start a new Dynasty. Start a new dynasty: The Augustinian Dynasty of Qwazukee… Excalabur 08/23/09 8 08/23/09
I’m back. Would anyone object to me upgrading EE? Is it still the case that only Kevan, 75th trombone and I have FTP access? Does anyone remember me? Excalabur 08/22/09 12 08/23/09
Hey you! Admins: First, if editing the templates, do so in a non-crufty-manner. We have a stylesheet for a reason. Use it. We have comments in the templates for a reason: don’t delete them. Second, if you’re going to leave a comment somewhere, bloody well sign the thing, and preferably date it.… Excalabur 02/03/07 6 02/05/07
Look changes Doremi: If you want to fiddle with the colour scheme/graphics, just let me know and I’ll get it sorted for you: sending an e-mail via the panel should work, or a private message. You may want to propose some stuff to get the theme rolling. You other people: propose some… Excalabur 02/03/07 0

NOTICE: weirdness over until midnight Greth’s script to autoupdate the GNDT is now implemented, assuming that I crontabbed it correctly. The revisions to Movement specified by Aha! attempt no. 2 have been executed. If wacky things happen at midnight(UTC) it’s my fault. Excalabur 06/23/06 0
NOTICE: there may be weirdness in the GNDT shortly I’m testing Greth’s new script for updating the GNDT on a test GNDT, but if that works it’s getting installed on the real GNDT. This probably won’t affect you, but just letting you know. Excalabur 06/23/06 0

Wikification To admin: In the wiki, please don’t use “strong” tags. Use triple-quotes (’‘’), as it is much more readable. Similarly, double quotes (’‘) give italic, and five of ‘em give both. Excalabur 05/13/06 0
Idles Please idle me, someone. I’ve just not been inspired the last few dynasties: i’ll stop being a deadweight. I’ll be back in a dynasty or two, when I’m ready for action again. Excalabur 02/12/06 0
I be limpin’ back to the crew quarters…. after a duel with Hix Which I won. Shock, horror. I turns my back for 10 minutes and I’m a standin’ on the quarterdeck minus some limbs. Yarg! Excalabur 02/02/06 0
I have determined my next move The Newest Crewmember seems to be too big for his britches. So I moves back aboard the Inquisitor, and inquire why that would be. He got a little sad, and tried to make some excuses, but you know that’s hardly piratical—I think he might be a spy from the Navy!… Excalabur 01/25/06 1 01/25/06
Movin’ ashore for PLUNDER As Predisastered just beat up one of the crew, we better teach ‘im a lesson! Unfortunately, I inflict no lasting injuries upon him to remind him of his foolishness. Now to ponder my next move.. Excalabur 01/25/06 0
Lootin’ the loot I hears people have been rummaging down in the holds. They better not have been rummaging in my stuff, or they’ll be plugging shot-holes with their ‘eads. In any event, I meanders down there, and who do I see? The pirate named after an insect. Ha! So I try bashing… Excalabur 01/23/06 0
I be moving I moves to the maindeck. And WHO do i see there? Igthorn. he’s bin stanin’ there fore days, ‘e ‘as. Must be up to no good. So I gives him a good pounding, I does! Like I dropped him from the yard, he goes down like a sack of bricks.… Excalabur 01/23/06 0
After that successfull bit o’ work… I be headin foreward to the crew’s quarters for a bit of a nap. Wake me when it’s my watch. Excalabur 01/22/06 0
Duel the second! Comin’ down the ladder from the foredeck, I sees Chronos Phaenon standin’ there. Now I owes him a ‘favour’, so I gets out me fid, and I pokeses him with it. Well, apparently i poked him too hard, because he went down in a heap. I hadn’t even started fighting… Excalabur 01/22/06 0
Headin’ to the Maindeck Having defeated two of my fellows in duels on the fo’c's’le, I be headin’ towards the stern. First stop: Maindeck. Excalabur 01/22/06 0
Going to the head I’m a headin’ to the bow for some..business.. Location now the fo’c's’le Excalabur 01/20/06 0
One minor nautical point Make that two: The crew’s quarters are /in/ the fo’c's’le Only whaling boats have a crow’s nest.  It’d be good to be able to be in the rigging for both masts, else we aren’t going to be able to change our sails very well. Ok, so it was three points. Excalabur 01/20/06 0
Stumbling to my hammock As I have been greviously wounded by Purplebeard’s swift actions, I stumble down the companionway to my hammock in the crew quarters and drink of the Devil Rum. Excalabur 01/19/06 0
Duel the first! In a fit of boredom, and as the crew of this pirate ship seems to have no duties, I decide that having some purple hair to make a scarf out of would be most excellent. I therefore grab my fid, and clonk Purplebeard upside the head as he is standing… Excalabur 01/19/06 3 01/19/06
Merry Christmas to all Well, those who celebrate it. In any event, Happy Holidays. For some of you, this is a bit late, for others, a bit early. But have fun anyhow. Excalabur 12/24/05 1 12/28/05

Run wild, run free I heartily encourage people to start coming up with suitably crazy rules for this dynasty, as well as dealing with the Hiatus fixes that were discussed. Possible additions: Creation of the ‘body’ of the crazy protagonist Ways to influence the way things work GNDT stuff Ways to reward creative craziness.… Excalabur 12/04/05 0
Ascension Address: Ascension Address All… all I wanted to do was design the perfect game. But the voices.. they wouldn’t be quiet and let me think. Why? Why must you constantly temper with my game? Why must you intrude into my carefully organised life? Why must you hurt me so? Could I strike a… Excalabur 12/04/05 2 12/04/05
New dynasty I’ll post an ascention address tomorrow, when I get all my thoughts in line. Until then, I’ll be fiddling with colour schema and graphics and so on, and coming up with that all-important first proposal. In the upcoming dynasty, I encourage the following: 1) Rules that contradict each other 2)… Excalabur 12/03/05 10 12/03/05
