Dear font maker,

you mightn't be fond of punctuation, the average Netizen might not be fond of punctuation, and many ordinary folk don't see how punctuation works for them.

For all that, though, you've gone to the effort of crafting a typeface. You've lovingly drawn vector images of little letters so that we can throw text about on icons, web graphics and paper with scarce a second thought, and we value your efforts, little though we may think about them. We're quite happy that you've taken the time to put together a complete set of letters, all for our nefarious graphical endeavours.

Which is why I'd like to know one very simple thing: what is it that deluded you into thinking that replacing the apostrophe, comma, colon, semicolon, full stop, ampersand, and countless other poor helpless marks and symbols with your own logo was a good idea?

Please, do tell, because I haven't the faintest clue why you'd have done that.

With almost anything but love,

GIPness

So, hideously evil font makers aside, I now have a Heroes icon.

Which is, of course, a bit of a crossover with Firefly. Yay for audiovisual crack.

Nomic

So, in this post, I called for expressions of interest for playing Nomic on LiveJournal.

Nomic is an interesting game, in that the game is played exclusively by changing its own rules. A turn consists of a player proposing a rule change, and then the players voting on whether to adopt or reject that rule change. Of course, you can even change the rules that are responsible for that. More detail can be found on the creator's website, on Wikipedia, or from nomic.net.

Typically, the rules start from an initial set of 29, which provide enough of a game to be able to start playing. In the post with the poll, packbat and I discussed ways to make Nomic work on LJ. And then, yesterday packbat posted a draft initial ruleset, which is:

( Cut for length )

So, yes. The game demands no special skills or knowledge, and doesn't demand much of a time commitment. So, with a bit more detail:

[Poll #910255]

Feel free to link others to this post and this poll if you think the'd be interested.

Also, the comm will need a name; I'll take suggestions in the comments, if anyone has some to offer.
