Even though I made a big thread that the chit-chat forums should be added to final post counts I am now of the opinion that it doesn't really matter

When I am replying to a post I don't take any notice of the post count - I concentrate on how much the post interests me. Although, when I first started posting I did feel slightly intimidated by people with post counts in the thousands

Obviously, now I have come to know them I feel more comfortable

Only slightly?

I know, just found nothing else to say on this topic.
Apologies accepted.

You aren't really the Baron from Reality-on-the-Norm are you? Apart from the killer penguins bit this sounds a lot like Apocalypse Meow (which I'd highly recommend playing by the way. Seriously out there but very nicely done)

A thread most controversial, that’s what I want to start
Full of impassioned arguments, of posting from the heart
And for this stimulation all will be thankful to me
On come on everybody it won’t work if you agree

Just as a practical note: No. As much as I think Chit-Chat posts have no (general) qualitative difference from posts on page #315992 of a thread in General or Adventures, Chit-Chat is the only place where I would dare post several times in a row just to split up what would otherwise be a large post... something like "chapters" in posts just are easier to read that way, beyond paragraphing. Otherwise I'd feel I'm cheating the postcount, which I always prefer being an accurate representation of my contributions somewhere.

Maybe if it were added that you can chose not to have a post count in your postcount? I'd love to work with that. But it's just a thought, I realise no one else would use it.

No, I'm not really Baron Wolfgang. But I think that post was strongly influenced by that game (When is the next episode coming?! Creed?). Also, I am working on my own RON game. You might have seen my fan arts in the Fan Art section. I did some drawings of Mary and Gerard (I'm Jessica). And I made some Desktop Icons which can be used for shortcuts to the RON games. They can be found in the Resources section.

The Penguins are to be blamed on the Pythons...

Heh, I've been asking him that for years(?) now. I suspect it's 'permanently on hold' by now. He's working on another, non-RoN project currently.

Well, he's kind of telling the story in his Webcomic PopCherryWag. If he updates, that is...

Just seen this, sorry to bump.

Aw, cheers for the good words, all.

The next kitty game will be here sometime. I'm just not feeling the fire. But... sometime. For serious.

And PopCherryWag is a different story to the RON kitty thing. I just like kittens, and use them in most everything I do.

also, your Mary and Gerard drawings are as lovely as, Jaza. *hugs!*

Ooh, goody! *counts the days until the release*

I think most people like Kitties (except my sister, who doesn't). I also like Kittens (I like most animals...except for very small dogs, who bark at you all the time.), even though my family has two dogs. My favourite animals are Manded Wolves, though. They are really beautiful (and look a bit like foxes - just with longer legs)

And thanks for the praise.
