The Gathering Hordes...

So it seams the upswell of social revolution is in full swing here at the MOAG blog. Freemen are coming from the nether parts of various small burgs and villages. Torches and pitchforks are being handed out at every town hall meeting. Name tags are being prepared, t-shirts printed up, documentaries produced, said documentaries are then scrapped due to the writers strike, and so on.

Well that's all and good, but before we start tipping over cars and lighting couches on fire, I have a simple question to ask: Who are we revolting against? I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but our dear Most Noble Leader Shadowwire has been reading the blog quite avidly lately, and having received a call from his uber-bunker deep in the mountains of Enoch, he has assured me that all the demands will be met. Quite enthusiastically in fact. While he still claims uber-Lordship over the MOAG universe, he is willing to let others share in the burden of composing the Official Book of Official Rules for the Official Game of MOAG and it's Official Guidelines and Rules, or as we like to call it: OBOROGMOGR. But don't worry. I hear that the local grocery store is not going to sell Krispy Kremes anymore, so we can still revolt against them. Can't we?

And now that we've all gathered for some pillaging, here are some brief responses from the previous flurry of blogging. First off, the proposed weekly schedule was just a suggestion. If you need a different day, then simply tell me. I am officially stating that on Monday I will post new art every week. That doesn't mean that I can't post any other day, just that I'll be posting art on monday. So for those of you who have said you will participate, simply tell us which day you want and then get with Mr. Wire and determine a topic. The topics listed in the example post are by no means final, hence the example part.

Also, let's start labeling our posts people. This will enable readers to search through the site and find posts by topic, as well as chronologically. When you are editing a post, simply look at the bottom right of the Edit HTML box and you will see a very convenient text box labeled: "Labels for this post:" Fill in the text box with the topic of your post. Then you can go to the main page and see that the Topics of Discussion are there at the top on the right side of the page, and you can see all of the topics.

And lastly, We all agree that while our game has certain elements that bear a resemblance to certain intellectual properties that do not belong to us. My purpose in bringing this to everyone's attention was not that I thought they had too much of a resemblance, I just wanted to make sure that when we do finally get MOAG out there, there can be no questioning as to the fact that it is all our creation. So maybe we push the differences a little more, just to make it more clear that the Conar are most definitely NOT the predator, even though they may share some similar characteristics.

Okay, now that we're finally done with that, everybody grab your torches, we're gettin' us some donuts!

Oh, and please, if you see that there is already a topic of discussion that your new post could fit in, please use the same label, that way we don't have 50 different topics that are all basically the same thing.

Thanks Salvagio. I was getting a little worried, like perhaps I should avoid crowds where there may be a lurking Pablo Diabo, or Bot, or the like, waiting to off me and grab the MOAG glory for themselves. But seriously, I hereby proclaim that I Shadowwire, will henceforth post something Moag related on tuesday, and every tuesday hereafter untill the stars no longer burn (if convenient).
You guys are awsome.

Hey, I don't want all the glory..... just a small corner of it that gives me legal rights to publish stories and novels on the MOAG Universe. Besides, all the glory comes with all the burden.... Are you ready for that Mr. Wire?! That has and always will fall on your very capable shoulders.
