Mr. Riot says: I've always wanted to do that in real life. Maybe Civil War will give me the excuse.
I'm not going to babble much here, because Zac usually does a much better job of making the Author's Comments a bit more of a news post.
Speaking of news post, did you see the Civil War was the first item in the news post on the main page? It's all thanks to YOU guys for making this one hell of a fun community project! All the “Civil War Events” that Zac and I have been recieving are awesome! Be sure to keep posting them over in the forums!
Zac Edit: Posted this on the thread referring to events but I'll do it here too: Remember, everyone try to keep it clean enough for a broad audience. We want everyone to be able to read everything submitted!
Here's another reminder and it's important: We want to print this when it's through. Yeah. Print it. We want to put people's pages in the printed copies. SO. While we do accept sprite comics into our event, PLEASE TRY TO MAKE YOUR SPRITES AS ORIGINAL AND NONCOPYRIGHTED AS POSSIBLE. This isn't us hating on Sprite comics, this is just a need to not get in trouble later on ^_^. So when you're doing your sprite events, make sure your characters and sprites are original. Try not to just do a simple recolor. If you're not sure if your sprite character design is bordering on dangerous, just PM us and ask ^_^. So far we haven't had any trouble with sprite designs, just letting you all know :D Black Kitty reminds us to make pages at 300DPI for print. This is just an IDEA we've had. We'll have to find someway to actually do it later on.
Remember new people YOU CAN JOIN. Just throw the join request in the correct team roster thread :D
Besides that, we've had a great turnout! We're working on the Checklist template now. So event comics should be up soon!

I know this is just an idea you guys are throwing around but I just want to add another point to that:
When printing, the file needs to be at 300 DPI. You cannot have a 72 DPI file however and then change it to 300 DPI. The computer will simply put the dots wherever it thinks it should go and that may not help the quality of your pages.
Instead, work from 300 DPI then shrink to 72 for web viewing.
I just want to mention this since this is still pretty early and so it's not that hard to do that now. Later on and three hundred gazillion pages later...that would be a pain. :(
But on another note, I just want to say that I've been enjoying the updates. :D
Yes diving through an upperstory window! Every action story should have one! Only Half does! LMAO...oh wait that's what my other stories are missing!
HEE! Sorry giddiness reigns today! Had a great weekend, got sunburned playing volleyball...
and I still haven't put my drawing pad on top of my tablet so I could transfer that EVENT over to digital!
so do you prefer the events stay B&W or shades of gray?? That might make turn around time easier on me! LOL! My friend is talking about doing a collab on another story turned webcomic! GAWD someone stop me!
Great page! More please!
GO GET'EM ZAC!
Ok, I hate being a complete codetard, but, how do you insert the roster into your template? So far I've tried copying and pasting it into my raw html but it doesn't work. what am I doing wrong?

acadia at 12:28PM, March 25, 2007
