had no idea it could do that.. change here I come

Opera, too. But it seems unable to interact with this forum's engine.
Mozilla is fine, though.
Don't remember how difficult it would be to look through cache in Explorer, but it's possible to do manually iirc...

I have Opera but wasn't able to find a way to do that

Hmmm... If it was in Opera, it saves sessions automatically. You could either use its Recycle-bin-like button to restore tab immediately or (if you had session saved) kill it in Task Manager, reload and choose to load last active session. Now it's probably too late for either. But. You can still either try Opera's History (don't remember whether it wouldn't just load page anew... wait - there is an option in Opera's Preferences to change just that, so if you change it to load from cache before loading page from History, it should work).
Or you can just open in Explorer or your favorite shell (Far, NC, Windows Commander) one of the following folders:
Program Files\Opera\Profile\Cache4
Documents'n'Settings\your-account\Application Data\Opera\...
I recall it sometimes making profile in another subdirectory, but Cache4 should be a sure thing.
Then you just look for a html with a date/time matching that of your mistake and either open it in Opera or look with any viewer. I'd recommend the latter and if you find inside a text needed, copy it into any floder you use for such things - just in case.
Hope that's clear enough - I'm not in a particularly goof shape right now... But Opera certainly saves cache in any amount you tell it to - I made it about 100 MB and 1 month iirc.

Are we waiting for anything to get this game started?

Maybe Ruminant could set a deadline (Like 12:00 GMT Sunday?), send out PM's to those who haven't submitted pretenders telling them the deadline, and if they don't join up start without them?

[Ruminant]

Alright, I can see everyones desperate to get started so how does a deadline of 3pm Sunday (GMT) sound? I've sent PMs to the four players that haven't submitted as far as I know, although I suspect that one of them has changed to Yomi without telling anyone

Of course if anyone wants it to be extended for any reason at all, it's no problem. Just PM me or post here.

Holy ****. Ruminant just dumped 20k characters of Prologue in the Wiki. Maybe you misunderstood the objective - you're not supposed to write the whole novel in the prologue, you're supposed to develop the story over time, m'kay??

[Ruminant]

Haha, yes. I have troubles with cutting things out. Plus we took too long to start and my mind began to wander..

It's ok though because I will post only in haiku form from now on.

[Darkwind]

One small problem: the beginning of the first paragraph was present-tense, but then it switches to past-tense later on.

Another problem: There's nothing to tell us when the viewpoint switches.

Other than that, great story Ruminant.

[Ruminant]

Ooh, good call Darkwind. I changed tenses so many times to see what would sound better, guess I forgot to make something match up. And yes.. I may have to see about editing that unholy wall of text so it is readable by the human eye.

So. Noones owned up to being Yomi yet.. If noone has by the deadline I'll delete 'em.
