7th June, 1944
Even a man who is pure in heart
and says his prayers by night
may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms
and the autumn moon is bright.


...or however it goes. On my last cigarette. Shouldn't smoke this much.

I don't think Danielewski is the one who had me reassigned. Not anymore. All the research I've been doing for the past few years, it wasn't to appease the government's idle curiousity. These things are real, or at least someone believes they are. Real enough to make a task force to deal with them. Word is, there's a werewolf running around London, and it's our job to deal with it. Whatever that means.

Some of the others are skeptical, think this all has a mundane explaination, but if our werewolf was really a German in a fur coat, the brass would have sent grunts to deal with it, not us. I'll see about requestioning some silver bullets later. Our wolfman might turn out to be as good-natured as Lon Chaney, but I've already died on paper this week. No need to add truth to a perfectly good lie.

I've met some of the people I've been assigned to. Haven't decided what to think of most of them. Rapp seems a man I can put my back too, even if he is a bit dense on the wolfman angle--I suspect that'll change shortly. Mrs. Sienko (who's name makes me wonder if she married a Jap) was a pilot before getting sucked into the Corps. No idea how she managed that, but that alone makes her a force to be reckoned with in my book. And Foley... seems a man who's resigned himself to a lot of things in life, this new assignment being only the most recent.

Hell. I wonder if they sell Chesterfields in England.

What did Scribbld do?

Also, if your layout gives your trouble, putting the comment links at the bottom of the entry fixes it :)

It wouldn't let me update. I had to download a 3rd party client to post anything at all.

Scribbld sucks in every way. I hate it. I hate it so much.

I feel your pain. Do you use safari? I found that I can only update with Firefox.

I'm using Firefox, and Scribbld still doesn't work. Piece of crap.

I use Safari and it worked ok for me, but this is something that's annoying to deal with on a regular basis. We should seriously think about moving the game, but where? When we compared and contrasted different journal sites with the LJ code, this really seemed to be the best among them in terms of customizability and organization. The others are just confusing as hell.

In my copious free time, I'm going to be designing the official, no-joke, for-realz website for Corpse Corps. I'm thinking the WikiMedia, a la SCP, is the way to go--if I can get it to work. Which is to say, figuing out a way to restrict account creation and editing to players and players only. Among other things. I'm working on it.

Alternately, I recommend migrating to Blogger and imbeding the blogs into the new website. Either way, I don't think we'll be here much longer. Until then, using Scribbld is going to be like living out of a suitcase until you find an apartment in the right neighborhood.

I suggest using Blogger, because using a Wiki might be fun and all, but you have to spend all that time getting to know a whole new framework, whereas we're all familiar with Blogger. The trick is to design it in such a way that we can simulate the communities, and we can have a pseudo Friends page by having everyone publish their journal entries to a Journal account.

I don't think the wiki format would be too difficult to grapple. The benefits of using a wiki is that all the information is in one, organized space. For example. Magda would have her own "wikipedia" page with biographical details. She would also have a page for her journal entries, sort of like lists on Wikipedia. And then each journal entry would have a page. Communities could be handled in a similar way. We just have to figure out how to restrict read/write privilages for each page to authorized users. It's a different model than we're used to, but I think a more flexible one.

Blogger--while a vast improvement over Sribbld--presents its own problems. We either have to live without a friends page, or we can't have individual journals. Neither one is a particularly appitizing option.

Good point.

I have some experience with the wiki format seeing as I have had to work with it for SEDS, so if you need any help, ask me.
