wizuriel Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 So is the board kind of unreadable to anyone else right now? I'm seeing a lot of white on white text and this message box is taking up only 1/3 of the screen and randomly growing as this sentence fills it up. Now I'm just curious to see how far it will go. Looks likes at least caps out before turning into a horz scroll 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Caroland Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Upgraded software. Need to fix the themes now. Should be sorted come tomorrow. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vidd Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 I've started using the light theme (selected via the option at the bottom left) which seems to be working fine for me, apart from the expanding input box. I was getting weird errors when I was trying to load certain pages on the dark theme but this one seems to function (almost) properly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enderwiggin Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Here I was, sitting, thinking that my add-ons were getting aggressive/going into overdrive and "protecting" against some new feature and not letting it load.

Guildenstern Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 So if we wanted to use the light theme, is there a way to change the font colour to something not so blendy-in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Caroland Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 WYSIWYG. That being said, I'm using the light theme and nothing is blending it, but it could be monitor settings as well. Now if someone changes the color to a lighter or darker color, it could affect viewing on one of the other themes of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of them, Light or Dark theme, have any oceans. 2 hours ago, Nathan Caroland said: Nightmare edition Aquaman ... I think I hear ya .. Kahl Drogo Aquaman?

The temporary theme I uploaded while I fixed the forums had an ocean as the backdrop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tawg Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 Ah, so I just "missed" the speculative nonsense then? BTW, now that this is running more properly, I have to say nice. The Light/Dark theme thing I can take or leave, but the new quoting function is perfect. Have that on my other forum I frequent and it is by far my favorite feature Wyrd's was missing. So whoever was the brains behind bringing that here, or had to bother working it onto the forums, thanks a lot. Best gift from Wyrd this year.

It was less speculative nonsense and a bad joke masquerading as speculative nonsense. That said, a sea-themed Marcus crew would be pretty close to an auto-buy for me.

My favorite animal, and if it was not restricted to Rare 1 or something, I would gladly take half my crew in them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soul Stone enhanced Octopus (Enforcer Rare 1) WK - / Cg - Ability Insignificant: This model cannot take the interact action Deployed where needed: While this model is in play friendly leader model get the following tactical action Release the Octopus: Place friendly Soul Stone Enhanced Octopus in base contact with any terrain or marker. Attack Actions It can shoot?? (Sh: 6 / rg 10) Target suffers 1/2/3 damage Blob of Ink: Model gains the following condition I CAN'T SEE: This model can only take attacks until the end of turn Is that a friggen Laser Beam on its Head: Model gains the following condition Burning +2 Arcanist can also use some shark men to go with this 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be noted that octopi can actually move on land and it is vaguely terrifying to watch (Seriously, watch this video it's creepy and awesome) so it should have some movement but probably no charge range. Definitely needs some sort of attack that can then pull people in and keep them there (and perhaps give them poison because there are highly venomous octopi ). Also, your "Release the Octopus" action needs to be renamed to "Release the Kraken" because that is far more epic sounding The preceeding has been Awesome Octopus Facts brought to you by Guslado, avid cephalopod enthusiast.

You know, if there were just a new Faction of all Octopuses, I wouldn't object. BTW Guslado, it's pluralized as octopuses (octopi works, but octopuses is better). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW Guslado, it's pluralized as octopuses (octopi works, but octopuses is better). Technically octopi, octopuses, AND octopodes are acceptable pluralizations of octopus. Etymologically octopus derives from Greek so the most etymologically accurate pluralization would technically be octopodes, but you say that and no one knows what you're talking about. Octopi incorrectly assumes that octopus derives from Latin and would be the proper pluralization were it Latinate in origin, which classifies octopi as "hyper-correct"; however due to the mutable nature of the English language common usage can and often brings technically incorrect vernacular into acceptable usage. While octopuses follows the standard model of pluralization for an English word ending in S, it just sounds weird due to the aesthetics of the excess of esses and the insuffable suffusion of sibilant syllables. Octopi just has more punch to it. Octopodes is the most etymologically correct but is the least known. Octopuses follows the "rules" of English but hits my ear in a bad way. And therefore I shall continue to use octopi as it is far more pleasing to me. (Can you tell I like words almost as much as I enjoy cephalopods?) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indecently I like words (Languages in general) very much as well. Perhaps we are the same person? But, the most important argument that you are missing? Jacques Cousteau pluralized it as Octopuses. And he likes under water things. So I'm sticking with his version, plus I like the way it sounds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
