h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Rivals

(yes it should, mainly the Guide entry should have a sp? as well, would be handy. Incidentally I have about 4 entries in PR at the moment not that I'm advertising or anything :P)

I use Mozilla Firefox 'cos I don't like pop-ups or ad-ware. It may just be that or a lack of colours but the colour of a lot of the text on the front screen blends in with the background - then again it could be because I was colourblind.

actually NPC stands for "Non-Player Characters" not "non playable."

i like non-player characters. i will use that.

it might be difficult to see because it's red on blue which messes with people's depth perception or something. i will check with firefox now.

Its not all the text. The member's list for example, I can see their real names, but positions and superhero ego names I didn't realise were there until I highlighted, as I do when I'm bored. I don't think that font is red otherwise I'd be able to see it.

bit of a thing about style in h2g2 society pages: people think its so cool to have different background and text colors just because they can, but really just going with the basic h2g2 style is so much easier for people to read.
Nerd42

yeah i can and i did. anyway without colours the page would suck.

i just looked in firefox and it looks fine. the members list is done in black so maybe it's black on blue that's messing it up.

its OK
Nerd42

I really can't see it, its so odd, inside the NPC box as well, other than the titles the rest is blank

actually wait a minute, no it would not suck if you did it right. don't get me wrong - your current page does not suck either. s'all good, ya know?
Nerd42

tony, was it just the non-red font that you couldn't see? if so have a look at it now. i added tags instead of leaving it blank cos i thought it might not have known what color to have put it on your browser. if it doesn't work now then i'm out of ideas.

Aye it works fine now, cheers muchly. I can see it all, all, ALLLL mwahahahaha

hey, um, can anybody get their own NPC villain if they want? how do u do it?
Nerd42

yeah anyone can. just post the details for it in here and i will add it when i get a chance.

awesome! can I create two? (a two-villain duo?)
If I can only have one then just add the Illusionist.
(don't worry, after this I will not be filling your world with any more crazy characters. this is it, after this i'm done. )

* THE ILLUSIONIST *

Name: Nerd42
U number: U203906
Hero or Villain: Villain
Hero name: the Illusionist
Super Abilities: Most of Gandarks + ability to fool people's minds into thinking things are there when they're really not and not when they're really there + ability to manipulate minds: to remove memories, create false memories and extract information. Most of his mental prowess can be blocked, however, by anyone with similar abilities. Most of the time, the Illusionist does not actually come to the scene of a crime or battle, instead he sends an illusion of himself. (his illusions can be solid objects in the minds of the beholders so that their hands won't seem to pass through them and if the illusions hit the beholder, he staggers backward as if hit for real)
Weaknesses (if any): Very little physical strength.
Costume Colour(s): Black and purple, like a stage magician with a black top-hat and, unlike Gandark, a wand. (which is just for show really)
Other Comments: As Gandark's arch-nemesis, the Illusionist is also a halfling wizard come from the same far-off realm. His voice haunts Gandark's mind, because Gandark once knew him as a friend, by his real name, but that name was long since erased from the minds of all his former friends and colleuges by use of the Illusionist's evil mind powers.

* THE SCOREKEEPER *

Name: Nerd42
U number: U203906
Hero or Villain: Villain - sort of. More crazy than evil.
Hero name: The Scorekeeper
Super Abilities: Summons giant objects and creatures to do his bidding. These usually take the form of huge living game-pieces, like chess men and dice.
Weaknesses (if any): His "games" always have rules - an understanding of those rules can help a "player" to win - there is always a way to win - and though he claims to merely be an impartial judge, he sets himself against everyone else and hates to lose. His spells can always be broken by "winning" the game. (of DEATH!!! )
Costume Colour(s): Blue, Green, Yellow and Red. He wears a jester outfit, complete with hat. He always carries game objects around with him, including his "Rule Book for Every Game Ever."
Other Comments: The Scorekeeper comes from deeper within the same reality that Gandark and the Illusionist come from. He will wreak havoc in the City like none other. Understand, however, that although people die because of his mischief, he is not actually evil. He is what he was created to be, and is merely in the wrong universe for being it.
Nerd42

er, I forgot an important weakness of the Illuionist - his illusions can be blocked by anyone who concentrates on disbelieving in them. that's really important - i forgot to post that.

*blinks*


ok, although the profiles for for the NPC's are a little more edited than the regular character ones. try and trim it a bit, generalise it for the main page but i can add the whole profiles to the profile page. actually i might make a new profiles page for the NPC's, what do you think?

sounds like a good plan. sorry, I thought villains and heroes had the same sorta registering thingy ... you can just add what's under "Other Comments" for the actual page.
