Hey, guys!

First off, I'm off hiatus tomorrow (WOOHOO), so I'll start posting as Sylar and... does anyone want to adopt a late-to-the-party Cid? :D;;?

Secondly, I CELEBRATE THE END OF MY HIATUS WITH THIS:

Some of you might remember the last time we used LJ Archive to backup the whole damned community (just in case), which was a little under a year ago. At that time, we discovered some of the awesome statistic-generating plugins that the application offered and we tried them out. The results we got back then were these, and I figured we should try it out again now that some time has passed.

So, ladies and gentlement... the official damned & damned_bulletin statistics! (The ones for the main RP are as of 6/4/08; the ones for the bulletin are as of 6/5/08. Also keep in mind that some of the journals listed are of characters who are no longer in play.) The numbers after the usernames are the amount of comments that have been posted by each journal thus far.

I figured this would be okay to post for you guys here instead of in damned_cafe since it's informational and stuff. 8D;

Aside from the comment-counting, LJ Archive can also do counts of commonly used words through the posts and/or comments, whose breakdown I figured you guys would find interesting. I didn't put a minimum size requirement on the words, so what you see here are the true counts with LJ Archive only filtering out extremely commonly used words (and, or, it, she, he, etc.).

Hope you guys found all that stuff interesting! :D

Okay... on Saturday morning, I'm heading off to London with my parents to go and see Midsummer Night's Dream at The Globe (so excited :3!!!). I'll be gone all Saturday but I'll be back sometime on Sunday evening so it isn't too much of a break ^^ Just that we're having to stay in a hotel down there since it's too far to go there and back in one day -_- and I don't think the hotel will have the internet (and I'm not taking my laptop anyway XD)

So umm... hopefully that made sense?

Okay, so as some people know I'm taking a short trip up to Tokyo starting this evening and going until Sunday. So this a hiatus notice for those two days for Okita, Ritsuka, Jack Skellington, and Mori. I'll get off some posts today, but if I'm missing anything, let me know.

I'm going to have to drop Saetan SaDiablo (highlord_ofhell). I simply cannot muster the energy and attention he needs. Rynn, Cath, and Lia-mun, I'm especially sorry for you guys. Best of luck!

Okay! So now that everyone's arrived in Luffy's room, it looks like we can start the party meeting now. Since we're gonna be starting two new threads that revolve around Brook and Chopper, Kat had this idea...

Basically, since the two threads will be revolving around their respective characters, what does everyone think about tweaking with posting order a bit? It'd be divided up by timezone, while giving Chopper or Brook a chance to answer some of the questions and comments people will be throwing at them.

For example, the order in the Chopper thread could go like this: Nami --> Luffy --> Zoro --> Chopper --> Usopp --> Brook --> Sanji --> Chopper --> Nami and so on

As you can see, it's divided up by timezone (Asia people in front, North American people in back), and also gives Chopper ample time to respond to what's going on, since the conversation is basically revolving around him.

So, your thoughts? Particularly Javits and Kiarae, but I'd like to get everyone's input on this.

Thanks!

:( Fun times, they have ended with Elle. Woe has overtaken all. I can never think of a flashlight in the same way.

SO. Peony is free to pick up the pieces whenever he is available to do so. Did he want to encounter the kinda-flaming room or should I have him [Haseo] travel elsewhere to encounter the Epic Emperor? (Peony is the Epic Emperor, Alkaid is the Buxom Emperor who abuses the bouncing option, I decided. Though I'd decode that for you.)

So, er, Angel and Anya are about to drop down into your area. |D; (Unless Anya turns around, but I don't think she will...? XD;)

Anywho, since I don't want to swell the Archer & co. thread to six people if we can help it especially since it's an SC thread, should we just do a bit of a minor time skip and pretend that Archer's gang have fled away by the time Angel and Anya drop down into the courtyard...and just start a separate thread with Harley? Would that be easiest? Or how should we work this out? :O! ETA: Never mind. I fail. 8D;

lol my third thread coordination post in a row. ILU nightshift 8D;

EDIT II: Um, option #2 is that Angel dives in while Archer & co. run away if you guys wanna do that? Since he totally would do it. XDDD;; HE'S ALREADY BEEN KITTY FOOD ANYWAY, what's one more chunk of missing flesh? 8|
