Geocities has a low per-hour bandwidth limit, and flash does tend to eat a lot of bandwidth...

Dear GeoCities,
My sincerest apologies. I suck.
Yours Truly,
Turin

It was me, g.f.dammit. I had the thing up behind this window the whole time, sucking flash.
Ha! Moron....

I think it's a fine site.

Aside from the eye-hurting part, it is a good site.

Thank you Narf, Mephisto, Sarge, ummm... maybe Fyron. (I slept, so criticism appears more constructive and my *** hurts less)

I put the Flash effects on the Race Description page ipso facto, cuz there was nothing there at all. I guess I should have left it alone, as the spin and warp effects seem to draw the most comment. I'll pull those back off and get rid of the "buzzing flies" on the Links page. Also will add a primary credit to the Tolkien gents, JRR and the Chris-man, since I straight ripped off the History page and its dynamic from The Silmarillion (which anyone who's played with me would find only logical).

Anything else?

(The enslaving Intro stays Fyron, Bogg off... )

Overall, not a bad site.

Problems:

The first part of the flash is almost unreadable. Dark print on black background. It took me a couple seconds to even register there was writing there. By the time I did, the flash changed pages and it was gone.

I am not as strongly anti-flash as Fyron is, but it would be nice to have a "skip intro" button. Not having one will turn off people after their first visit.

I think your race set looks really cool. Of course, I should think that. I chose it as the winner of a forum contest to have a race designed for me to use for my custom race. It's the Leonine set designed by Val. No offense taken taken. I don't really use it that much anymore anyway, but you should make sure you give Val credit somewhere on your site for the artwork. (EDIT: Never mind, I see that you have done that. Very good. It just took me some navigating to find it. )

I did give Val Credit on the Last page. From History, click "Disengage Fantasy Generator" and it takes you to the credits/links page (where you also, my good man, are highly touted...).

The darkened text on the intro is intentional. It is intended to look as though I'm finishing off a mildly threatening communique to another empire, and if you'll notice, I actually positioned it so that the first line of text is half-way off-screen. My gaming is all about role-play.
I could lighten it up a bit, but then you'd actually read it and the intro might finish before "getting the gist" and that would really piss one off.. "Here, read this.... PSYCHE!!!"

EDIT> You're right <sigh> repeat visitors using it as information reference could find the intro annoying... ok FINE I'll put a friggin button in there later. Happy Fyron?
