Bureaucracy 2: Like Sartre, Only Longer  

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Not to throw another vote into gear, but I think a dedicated deathmatch thread might be something to consider (possibly down the line).

Worth thinking about, as long as deathmatches aren't limited to quotes. The poetry version of March Madness (can't remember whether it was mentioned in this thread or some other) has grabbed my imagination.

Not ready to propose any such thread, or decide how I'd vote if someone else proposed, though.

We can deathmatch COMMs.

Kidding.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I almost hate to say this, given that Wonderfalls just got cancelled, but we're going to need a name for the next Minearverse thread real soon now. Any thoughts?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The current title looks a little ironic, doesn't it?

How about -- The Minearverse: I surrendered to destiny and all I got was this lousy T Shirt.

ita, I was thinking that, too.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Any thoughts?

Minearverse 2: The rest is silence.

eta: too depressing, I know. Blame DX. He told me to post it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The Minearverse: I surrendered to destiny and all I got was this lousy T Shirt.

I like it. Except it's depressing.

How about -- The Minearverse: Well, there's still the Heinlein thing.

The Minearverse: The Network Is a Harsh Mistress.

The Minearverse: The Beagle Has Landed.

I like one of these. After all, while we're upset about Wonderfalls, the purpose of the thread was to follow Tim's works, whatever they are.
