add two l's there please

Remember: Argue the point, not the person. Remain polite and constructive. Friendly forums have friendly debate. There's no shame in being wrong. If you don't have something to add, don't post for the sake of it. And don't be afraid to post thoughts you are uncertain about, that's what discussion is for.

Thanks, Osvir! A little part of it is actually inspired by a thread you made like two months ago! :)

 

There you tried to collect and sort all threads in the Game Mechanics subforum into topics and then collect the links.

 

JFSOCC: Consider it done! :)

Indira, I started a poll as it's kinda easier then adding ticks'.

 

Just copy-paste the links in that thread if you can.

You should always put the new ones at the top I think, because they get lesser votes. Kind of:

[updates!]
- Blablah
- Blahblah

[Previous Ideas]
- Blahdi
- Blahdo

 
^Just an idea, I re-arranged it so that lowest comes first and then ascends downwards~

I'm thinking something like "Yellow" for 5. Red for 10, Teal for 15 etc. etc. conceptually it'd look like this:
|||||||||||||||||||||||||


That would represent 25. Just count the colors (5 each).


I just added one | to all of them btw (not L, Alt Gr+<, next to LftShft on my Swedish keyboard, reference in case yours isn't the same/doesn't work) vertical bar.

Great ideas, Osvir! I'll resort them, so that the newest ones get added at the top of the list. I still would like to keep the list chronological, but color coding 5, 10, 15, etc is interesting.

 

And I'd also like to thank Trashman for his poll initiative, but the only way to keep an ongoing voting system for a list of great ideas that will constantly grow is this (so far).

Here's another lovely idea: http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/63145-small-suggestions-easily-implemented-ideas-quickfire-thoughts/page-7

 

TRX850 proposed that scrolls and documents remain rolled up/unopened (as a visible icon) in the inventory until they are read, upon which their icons change to an open(ed) format.

It would probably be terrible to change it now, but maybe we should've done 5 l's per vote. Then, the bars would be more visually... communicative? *shrug*

Should we not start with some Ipelagos, or at least some Greater Ipelagos, before tackling a named Arch Ipelago? 6_u
