I just submitted two Heroclix related articles that you may use when you wish, should you care to use them at all.

And one of them is very funny. We need to figure out a way to do it with out those <PRE> tags though, they stretch the text out too far.

See SE this is what you get when you postpone my article when I've actualy finished it :).  No article at all.

And in regaurds to the <pre> tags.  Lets just use tables for the dials.  I'll just "Borrow" the dial table layout that Wizkids uses and put it in Kije's article.

Yeah it's coming. I've got a draft pretty much already finished, but I'm we're still 10 cards short and I'm hoping to get those last few commons to review. I'll have it out before 10 AM Mountain time though. Noon for you, I guess.

Article is in. We've been at 296/306 cards all morning. There's just not a point to waiting any more.

So, Sprig warned me that Pro would have something coming out today.  I guess, with the prerelease being tomorrow and all, you kind of had to post it.  

So, do you want a EUOLogy?  Or are you just going to save it for next week?

I'll save it. If I can get one more, than I won't have to write reviews of these two books I've read. I have to move next weekend, so it would be nice to not feel like I have to write anything.

oh. i just proof read your EUOLogy, and uhm... made a comment or two. You refer to the place of Bask. I guess we'll have to finish up Kije's article on Bask from the TW(i)G setting and get it up this week.

Kije, I'll send you comments tonight. If I don't, find me and hit me with something large and blunt.

Ummm... Not sure what happened, but I proofed as well, and when I saved it, all the special characters and quote marks turned into gibberish. Help! All I did was change "full-proof" to "fool-proof." What'd I do?

And speaking of proofing, I'll catch up with the rest tomorrow morning, just so you know.

where did you edit it?

I'm assuming you copied it into Word or something like that. I'll just quote what I told prom:
Quote
That would be you using Word instead of a text editor. It likes to make "Smart quotes" which are only "smart" in the sense that they hurt.... I mean, in the sense that only Word seems to understand them. Text editors interpret them as other parts of the ASCII Set.

You can avoid this problem after editing it in Word by pasting it first to NotePad, then copying it all again and pasting it into the text box in the browser.

I fixed 'em. Also added his bio. I'm going to encourage everyone to leave it alone till next Friday.

Actually, no. I just hit the "edit" link, changed the word, and then hit "save." It's never happened before.
