No qualms with the first one. The other two suggestions are good as well, but need some clarification and rationale behind their wording to some degree. Advertisement doesn't have to be on other forums, but it -can- be on the server and status update feed, assuming it's not worded as an advertisement. Obviously, advertisement would break community rules, so I'm not sure how I want to word it as it would be a clarification on an already established rule, that depending on the instance and context, may not even be an infraction at all. Copying others work is indeed bad, but what would that person gain from posting it -here-? A technique many artists (and yes, I do call writing an art) use is the concept of thievery in bits and pieces, and since we're not really "grading" most of the centent here and it serves the author no benefit in doing so, I don't know if I can really "not tolerate" it to some degree. Are you calling for a citation page, or having things quoted?

Nope, Coach Patterson has been with Texas Christian (and has beaten Oklahoma in Norman) for a while before the Horned Frogs were in the Big 12. That Boise State coach is Chris Peterson, if I remember correctly. That's a game, I try to forget, on a daily basis. Ouch, man... Ninja'd

what about coffee?

[Reserve Space, I need to think of something cool to put here, I guess]

Excuse me what did you ca- OH! SKYS!

Hmm.... Fly Eagles Fly San Fran Houston Motor City NOT Johnny Manziel. Atlanta ....hmmm KC/Pitt -could- be a good game, iir NFL c, Dunno. Boys, 12th Man, Denver are my winners.

WHOA THERE Ame. You can't steal my heresy warning...What the heck man...That crap is copyright-..ah, whatever. Also, I got a kick out of this "brief" moment. &Godojira: are you saying that we don't hafta wear clothes here? +DobbyTheElfI: I don't, i'm in my homes bedroom +DobbyTheElfI: (Y'all can just enjoy that imagery) Kyoyo: I will.

I think the closest I've come to martial arts is kickboxing, but I'm definitely interested in hearing about MA!

Thank you, Skitty! I've used my team already and it's -actually- really fun. Probably the most entertaining thing about the team was your explanation on usage. Anybody that can make fun of fairy types, Cobalion, -and- Keldeo in one blurb either knows me well enough to make fun of me over disliking those things, or is a -lot- like me. Merry Christmas!

Welcome aboard. I'm Hilda. Nice to meet you. Don't hesitate to ask me, other GM's or other users any questions. Most of the time you will get your answer or pointed in the right direction.

Wanna go on a magikarpit ride? Hilda used humor! It was super effective~

Well, I would -PREFER- that [Feedback] threads be made so that the poster can keep everything nice and tidy in one thread. So multiple chapters can be fine in one thread as long as we iron out how to determine the start of a new chapter. I'll be thinking of things to put in a general rules thread, and feedback would need to be something that gets moderated.

Fun Fact: Alabama has -LOST- their last two Sugar Bowl appearances to arguably inferior opponents. The first time was against a very good BCS Buster in Utah, who then played in the Mountain West Conference. The story was that after Alabama lost late in the season, they didn't care enough about the Sugar to take home the hardware. The last time was last season, against Oklahoma. BOOMER... The win caused many to believe this year's OU team was legitimate. It seems like a fluke when looking at a disappointing 8-4 record. This season though, the circumstances are much different. The Sugar Bowl against the lowest seed in the play-offs is -exactly- where every team in the nation, including the Tide, wanted to be. -I- can throw passes to Amari Cooper. He gets -that- open somehow. It will be interesting to see if the Buckeyes can take him out of the game. Jericho - I would be checking around New Years for access bowl games.

'tis the season for interesting (or not) matchups you wouldn't see anywhere but during the holidays. Here's the 2014-15 Bowl slate in order of times the game starts. * indicates games involved with the College Football Playoff, be them access bowls or the National Championship itself.

[1] Alabama Crimson Tide will play the [4] Ohio State Buckeyes in the Allstate Sugar Bowl [New Orleans, LA] [2] Oregon Ducks wll play the [3] Florida State Seminoles in the Rose Bowl presented by Northwestern Mutual [Pasedena, CA] It's time. We know "who's in", but who's going to move on? I think the match-ups, despite being contraversial in terms of teams on the bubble being left out, will work for the committee in the long run. [1] Alabama will play [2] Oregon in the Division I College Football Championship game. [Arlington, TX]

Andy Murray is best tennis though. - Chelsea - FC Barcelona - LEVERKUS-....okay probably not. - Real - Bayern - Arsenal - I'm gonna go Basel here.

I'm interested.

Nidorina -is- available though! From ShatteredSky's Pokemon Location thread:

An "essay" is just a short piece of writing on a particular subject. GRE topics do count, so you can post those if you wish.

I think a couple of us would be very sincere in contributing at the very least. I kinda feel the same kind of fear torwards the lifespan of this forum in general. (not enough of us fanatics around to justify having it as a sub-forum.) Regardless, you've provided a great thread and it has all the teams and stuff to promote interest, and for the people that have been here and checked it out, it seems to have appeared worth it. The biggest thing about water sports is that the original post would need to have documentation and things like standings for Water Polo, Surfing, Fishing, Swimming-for-time, Swimming-for-distance, Sailing, Rowing, etc....and it would get pretty jam packed. I didn't want your title to be misleading, and I want you to be able to showcase the sport of Sailing alone. That way, people -know- what your appealing to. Assuming you were making the thread title yourself - what would -YOU- call it?
