I gave it my best shot (yeah I know I didn't spend much time on it, but I also realized I don't have the Wizards Autocard libraries I'd need to test my work.) and posted it as a submission to RPGs. Try putting it up I guess, but if I doesn't work, please knock it back down, if that's possible. If you can't undo it or test it first, you might want to wait for Tage or Fell to handle it. That autocard code is ugly.

I'll use the previous samples that Fell has working as my guide.

ok, i was able to edit it a little. clean it up. Looks good. Do you care which of the articles go first? or should we just have Tage choose?

Tage, just fyi, it won't let me change the dept  (presumably because I don't have the rights to edit things from the CCG dept?). So if it will let YOU do that that'd be swell.

Also, either people are submitting articles at an accelerated rate, or it's making duplicates of the prerelease article as I edit them. Every time I hit "save" the "articles waiting" count goes up by one.

It was making duplicates. I'm not sure why, since it saved 2 of them to the CCG area. Anyway, it looks good, I'll post it tomorrow.

Ok Im polishing my review for harp, and plan to work on Villagers and Pitchforks tonight....
I want to do a Travel edition of Settlers of Catan review (bought it at WOTC) but dont know if I should because its essentially the same game as SOC just smaller.
I still have two Cheep Ass games to review, but its hard to review em without players....
anyhoo I should have something submitted by 0830 at the very least.
Its an automated robot. Based on Science!

Yeah, I don't want to push or anything, but Prerelease Tactics #1 will only be relevant until Friday night, and the second version will need a even more expeditious release.

Not all of the Autocard links are perfect, but I did those. Thanks for the posting Tage!

Yes, well, I can see how you *think* it didn't get posted, but as the date clearly shows, it was posted yesterday. And we all know that if it's on the internet, it must be true.

Facts, schmacts. You can use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true.

... I ... I have no response to that. Isn't this a GOOD thing? That true things can be proven with facts? And haven't we had this argument before?

just fyi, if Jeffe and I are able to be as productive as we'd like, we have articles covered for next week. But then we're sort of petering out. So... more content (many thanks to Kije and Prometheus for helping us out recently)

Yes! My writing slump is over. I just submitted an article, and they'll be more coming in the next few days most probably. Consider next week covered, since you know how I submit when I start going into writing mode.

And I still have one more for this week at least. Then we'll have Prerelease reports sometime following from Fell and I at least I'm sure.
