Post by: General Battuta on October 06, 2008, 10:58:30 pm: It's blue because it's sad, see?

...but we might want to get something epic, to suck people in.

Any suggestions? We could do something cheesy and trailerish like: "You are Samuel Bei. The final reckoning -- between Earthborn and exiles, destroyer and preserver, father and son -- awaits."

This is intentionally cheesy. BP deserves something more elegant.

"It is the year XXXX, and the GTVA returns to Sol."

Argh, it hangs... :blah:

Is too.

Incidentally, the way I've understood it is that changing board descriptions involves tinkering with the actual forum (code) to some extent. Which is why that right is reserved to administrators.

I put the current description there as a humorous placeholder, but people seemed to like it. :)

Hey Darius, maybe you could use a portion of the synopsis for WiH. Or maybe even a self-made Khonsu II quote? ;7
