I honestly hate email notifications. I get so many (especially for topics that I follow) that it just clogs up my inbox. I've got you, man. I usually have spares.

I go with 'The cookies have a tendency to Ruin lives.' Awesome! Have an upvote for being alive joining.

My old Samsung Galaxy Tab has three and some odd gigs out of its 8 taken up by the operating system, and more on top of that in the form of "system applications" that I can't remove. I hate it that we're forced to keep unnecessary functions installed like text-to-speech, because due to classes I rarely even have my volume on. I think the reason that they don't use standard ports is because it shrinks the supply of compatible products, giving them much more sway over the prices. Great from a corporate perspective, but not from a user perspective.

Either. Just trying to get an idea of how often a notification script would be triggered. What it looks like to me is that you may have just built up a bunch of Firefox scripts running over time while you were on for the session. All browsers tend to build up excess scripts the longer that they've been running (which is why they get pretty sluggish when left open overnight), and on my computers Firefox especially tends to run heavy on RAM. Solutions to this would be disabling unneeded scripts (like notifications, browser add-ons like Norton Toolbar, any ads in other tabs, etc.) and, if Firefox continues to run slowly, closing all tabs and restarting the application fresh. Hope this helps!

If you answer a few questions, I might be able to help you: 1. How much RAM do you have installed on your computer? (If you don't know how to check this I can get you instructions) 2. How long had the tab been open for? Just for the session? Overnight? 3. How many notifications do you get in a given hour? 4. How many other applications do you usually have open? 5. What part of the forums were you in? I may have an idea as to what's going wrong, but I can't be sure.

Even if we don't officially adopt the plan, I think I'll follow your lead on lynching inactives.

Isaac Jones hated being a drab. It felt so... demeaning to have his amount of breath but not be able to use it. But the pilfered artifacts business had never attracted "respectable" folks, and so Isaac erred on the side of caution and had stored his Breath by Awakening the inner lining of his trench coat, which he had had made double-lined just for that purpose. The reason he had taken such a precaution today of all times was that he was expecting trouble: he was on his way to deliver his latest takings to his employer. At the far and of the alley, Isaac sensed movement. This was the middle of the slums, so he was not surprised when two ragged men detached themselves from the shadows and began a slow and steady walk towards him. They said nothing but held knives, making their intents obvious. In a place like this, any way to make a living was seen as right. Even robbing for a crime lord. Isaac slowed his pace to a crawl and let the two men take their time reaching him. He knew what these men were likely to do: he had been like them, once. Before his employer had noticed his... special skills. So Jones slowed and listened. He heard breathing to his left side, about five feet ahead, in the shadows. The two men walking toward him were the distraction. The third man was the trap. With that in mind, Isaac suddenly surged forward, directly into the trap. In a blur of motion, a figure leaped from the shadows where Isaac had heard the breathing. The leap was intended to get the man into knife-range, but all it got him today was into a flying fist. Isaac's street name was "Hammer" for a reason: the third man was lifted off of his feet by the blow and sent careening back into the shadows, where the back of his head slammed into the side of the alley. He groaned and fell. Isaac spun to the two men who had been walking toward him, but found them frozen fifteen feet away, still processing what had just happened. Isaac pulled his sword from inside of his trench coat: a yard-long blade with a slight curve, nearly three inches thick in the middle. It had been designed to slash vines in the jungles, but Isaac knew from experience that it worked on people nearly as well. Isaac's two assailants didn't stay long enough to find out. ******************* Isaac walked into the back room of the restaurant, dropping his bag onto a dingy table where it landed with a loud clunk. The other man in the room spoke, "Nice work in the alley," he said sarcastically. Isaac Jones froze. "How do you know about that?" "Had your name written all over it. Any good 'businessman' with my information could have figured it out." "I don't leave traces. How?" "Most thugs only use brawn. They leave behind knives, blood, evidence, and the like. You have some sense to go with your muscle. So when I hear that one of Boss Bargo's goons has been found dead in an alley with no evidence as to who it was who killed him, I know who did it. And anyone else out there with the right sources could figure it out, too." "What are you getting at?" "The longer you stay in this city, the more attention you will attract. This is a place for crude thugs, not refined killers like yourself. I've got a line on a promising place for you to go next. Word says that it may contain Awakened objects still filled with Breath, but also that the house may have a mind of its own. Get there, get anything valuable, and get out alive. You get the usual take: a fifth of all Breath you find."

I have to echo what Doc says, at least to a certain extent. On only once or twice per day? That's cool with me. Going to be without internet for a day or two, and give notice in advance? Okay. The problem is if you have players whose activity level is so low that they can't keep up with the game, analyze, or put actions in. Stealth is undervalued.

What do you need?

Good game, all! If we take one thing away from this game, let it be this: Smoking kills! I really hope there weren't 4 Nobles alive at the end...

I'll join as Isaac "The Hammer" Jones, a rough-and-tumble treasure-hound that can and will pocket anything that looks valuable. Regarding Aman's plan, I personally am for it. It would not detract from my game experience any, and gives us a good chance at catching elims lying. However, I can see how other players might not agree with it.

Ah, this makes me want to do something even more! Although I can't sketch worth a flying flip, I can desktop-publish to some extent. If I was to embark on a project, how would we want the text done on the images? Meme-style?

I am Brewt. Here's another batch of (really) dumb jokes: If Straff had a son that loved exploring, would he be called Ad Venture? What's a coinshot's favorite British holiday? Boxing day! What does a grumpy old Kandra say to squatters? Get off Me Laan! That joke about the Atium compounder is always so funny! I know, right: that one never gets old! What do drunk Allomancers do? It really depends: some Steel your stuff; others Lurch around drunkenly, and some start Smoking. Why do Mistborn look so strange? Because they have a Tin Eye and a Pewter Arm.

On Earth I'd definitely go with Feruchemy: just think of the crazy stunts you could pull off. Just naming a few: Luck: best gambling ever Memories (or mental speed): pass all tests Strength + speed + healing: pro sports player Mental speed: astrophysicist Breath: scuba diving Weight + strength: sumo wrestler and, my favorite, Speed + strength + mental speed = BATMAN! Mistborn Era 1 I'd go with Allomancy: instant status, plus Feruchemists would be killed on sight by inquisitors. Mistborn Era 2 I haven't read, but I know most of the spoilers.
