LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY gravesmod)

1. I changed the tag sidebars from "list" to "cloud" out of curiosity (since cloud shows which tags are used the most by making them larger based on frequency). I was surprised by some of the most used tags and not as surprised by others (how did Morgan sneak in for the surprise win at Graves Hall?). I think I'm going to keep the "cloud" list, just because it's interesting and who knows, maybe the leaders will change (which I think would be super cool).

2, There's been some talk about a Graves Hall prequel among some of the players (who brought it to me and we bandied the idea about). I imagine it would be called Before the Graves. The central idea is the same setting, just a few years before the government and the Hall were established (about 300 or so years ago). It might be interesting to play, to explore Aylasia in a new way, to see what it was like before the LEOS, to play some of our characters grandparents (or parents for that matter). If we did want to play this it would work the same as Beyond. Only players of the original game could jump in (for what I think are obvious reasons), but it would be entirely opt in. You're not obligated to play if you're not interested. Also, the canon could easily diverge from what's been established in Graves (what happens there doesn't necessarily have to effect what's happening here).

If people seem interested in playing a prequel we'll cook up a community and a basic premise AFTER finals are finished (so it would be next weekend, which would give anyone interested plenty of time to cook up ideas).
