2 things:

1) Should this be in RPG?  Other would be a better place.

2) Should we score it?  I think not and it should be just an editorial, but I wount complain if you keep the score.

well, I made it RPG because nearly everything he mentioned was roleplaying. HOwever, there was that one card game. And the con has minis too, apparently. So I'll change it. I totally didn't even notice the score. (See what a good editor I am?). I'm going to remove that.

Well I guess the question is weither or not we'll be haveing more articles on cons.  They're content varies by con and I think it would be better to have all them in the same place.

the main source of our "con" articles have been release tournament reports by Prometheus. And those are definitely CCG, especially since his reports analyze his games.

It's not that important to me where it goes. I don't see many of us going to tons and tons of cons.

I suppose I could start doing con reports.  Starting next year, I'll probably start going to quite a few of them.

And keep going to quite a few of them for many, many years.

Well don't ask me. I put down RPG because most of what I did was roleplaying. The con does basically every form of indoor game, such as board, mini, card games, whatever, but I didn't play any of that, so I can't comment. I think having a score or not doesn't make much of a difference, but for the record I give the con 5 clocks.

If anyone's interested, I can write up the story of Q-ship for the forum sometime. It's rather amusing.

I'd stick it in RPG since that is where i would go to find it. Or you could just stick it in both sections (LE GASP!) which solves the problem nicely.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

the form only lets me choose one. You're talking about adding code to the sight. That's blasphemy.

Yes, because adding physical functions to the human body is God's territory.

If, however, you want to change the code of the Site, you probably just need to convinve Tage.

Overall, I think your chances of playing God are significantly better.

well it's not just a simple code change, it would require a change in the database structure.  And condisering how many deparments you wanted to be able to spread an article across there could be some fairly lenghty code, though probaly not all that complex.

Its one of those things that goes onto the "If we ever completly overhall TWG's code again, we'll think about it" list.  Right not it's not worth the effort.  Especialy considering there are only a few articles that would use this feature.
