Part of the problem was saturation, part of the problem was changing expectations. Considering the Western was built on the duel tableau of a simple system of characters and an open-ended story that didn't have an airtight third act, there was a finite number of stories you could build around...

Default for Xenoforum platforms like ours seems to be ften images per post, but I know there are back end changes to adjust that. There are not daily limits, however, so go nuts.

That's fairly debatable. A shining Paladin might have a fixed end destination, but the smaller choices are where the meat and potatoes of character lie, and thus their technique and style. Does our erstwhile pillar of righteousness display cunning and wit as he disables traps and ambushes, or...

Within 24 hours of opening a religion channel on my server, I have banned a person. Some things are timeless.

At some point I need to pen you all an article on forestalling the death of the battleship and the glorious Unrotated Projectile. What rules the waves may not reliably rule the skies, after all...

Actually, the plan to use naval arms races as an economic warfare tool was originally opened up by the British against the Germans, and it worked reasonably well at forcing said Germans to dump piles of money into a very much useless economic sector. The fact that post-war concerns sank this...

Well no, it generally wasn't considered a virtue, but just because the medicine is bitter doesn't mean it still doesn't work. Trying to cheap out or undercut the process leads to messes like the R-class battleships, and not many people are willing to trade in half baked cost saves. Most...

Nah, they served just fine as a means of inducing brinkmanship and serving as a concentrated force measure. Consider that the Kito Budai could be about, say, ten or twelve carriers richer; that would have been a force that could actually form two respectable battle fleets at once and produce...

Ahh, so we'er doing a two-parter then?

No real mention of the submarine campaigns or convoy system? What, are we throwing Canada under the bus today or something? What about things like the Japanese squadrons in the Med or the naval actions around Galiploli where they nearly ended up closing the straight due to the wrecks of mined...

Not what I expected us to run come Armistice Day, but still well suited for it. Trauma is trauma- and those who make light of it don't know how heavy it is.

Also no. Ignore means Ignore; you don't see any of their content unless you specifically decide to see blocked content for that page and only that page.

No, not unless we're modding XF2 pretty far. This is a core software functionality, so you're stuck with it.

I'm still trying to figure out how Ironshark happened as a name. The only thing shark-like about subs is their inherent smell; sort of like old blood mixed with the saccharine whiff of dissolving lead paint.

The only issue is that our First Draft forum is where we want people to put stuff we might want to sell in the near future, and slowly cobbling together the whole piece is a lot easier to do in the general writing area. Personally, I think we just need to get a nice dice roller and make a Sea...
