BTW DarkHorse,.. did you see avatar #460 in my Emporium? When I made it I thought of you, but I guess you never saw it.

Oh well, It's not my fault

The Mini-Lurk-Report


Gooooooood Morrrrrrrning, all you lurkers. Well there was/is lots of stuff happening in the SE4 forums this week, so hold on to your hats...

Someone in my Avatar Thread noticed that my old avatar was not 'compliant' to my established 'style'. (it was missing the reflection in the top left corner.) As you can see I have since fixed this 'error'. (btw I'm still churning out 8 new avatars a day, so don't be shy, drop by and take a peek.)

The Name Changing Thread Has set it's sights on passing the Babalon 5 Thread (for # of Posts) and they are catching up fast, realy fast. I think they have made close to 200 Posts in the past week. They are currently just 54 Posts away from catching up.

Perhaps Gt and the gang in the Bar Trek Thread can move over to the Babalon 5 thread and look for S'Katchoo's brain there. (they could use the extra Posts to keep this race interesting.)

Tesco has created an interesting event on the #se4 channel at Gamesnet IRC. There will now be some 'Guest Speakers' to make things interesting. You can catch the Transcripts of the first 'Guest Speaker' (who it just so happeded was Fyron) HERE. Hmmm I wonder who the next 'Speaker' will be,.. hmmmm do any of you have a guess?

Well, that's it for this weeks Mini-Lurk-Report. I hope you like it.

Have a Great Weekend, and Cheers!

P.S. (and a worthy PS too,) go to The Trillian Empire to read a very good story by Clark.

"Canon" -> Mostly a term used by star trek nuts to refer to something that is not official trek or something like that. Like some nuts say Atrocities ST ship sets are not 'cannon' becuase they don't conform exactly to star trek standards (whatever they are)

[Erax]

Um, in these forums, DavidG's definition is correct (although that was just ONE ST nut and I hope there's not too many others like him).

But more generally, CANON (with one 'n') is a term borrowed from religion, meaning essentially 'accepted; according to doctrine'. Among us fans, it means 'that which is generally accepted to be a part of that fictional universe'.

In the SW universe, for example, the movies are dfinitely canon, so if you do a shipset with images from the movies, it's canon. If you take a few images from LucasArts computer games, most fans will still consider it canon. If you make up your own to 'fill' the set, it's non-canon.

It's no big deal, if you ask me.

PS - David, is your name pronounced the French (Davee) or the English way ?
