...would it be correct to say you don't necessarily need a picture of the album itself as long as you get a good replication of the blue cloth pattern? I think that's fair to say, yes. Naturally it'd be nice if any pictures could include the whole album cover, as large high-quality pictures are a p...

For my work on OACS themes, I like to try to get the general 'look' of the original album covers. Usually the sources on AIOWiki are good enough, and in the cases they're not, searching other sites can fill the gap, but in the case of Family Portraits, that seems to be a no-go. The biggest one I cou...

The thought crossed my mind some time ago, when I was working on another project that I deemed potentially vulnerable to spambots (even though spamming would be completely pointless in the context of that project). As far as mainstream spammers go, the page doesn't have any indicators of things that...

For what it's worth, you could have said the same thing about Connie just a few years ago. In fact, I actually did. That said, I think the characterization of Olivia specifically as 'never learning/retaining her development' is pretty harsh, and perhaps not fair. I should like to see some concrete e...

From my memory, I think it's just "You Go To School Where?", but there might be one or two others. It'd probably be a good idea to include what album each episode is in the episode stats list (I'm surprised I didn't think of that sooner).

I can't do much about the rating of any single episode ;), but the other requests and fixes seem generally reasonable and something I'd like to get to when I make the time. I'm not sure about the exact implementation of the keyboard shortcuts; I would rather use something besides the arrow keys, sin...

How many instances in the show can you remember where the fourth wall is broken? It doesn't count if it's part of a performance in-show (like B-TV, a story being told by someone, KYDS radio, the Imagination Station, etc.) -- just a regular, real 'day in the life'. Off the top of my head, there's two...

Right; you practice your dark art all of the time.

Well, my cats love me, even if you can't.

That's a subject I guess you would know a lot about, *L*.

Certainly not. If anything it'd be nice if there was less of a risk than there is. I never want to know a day that's under 60 degrees.

First episode in the three-parter is up on OAC.

That's one of the more subtle scenes of the episode, so it's easy to imagine how it'd be misinterpreted. In this scene, Jay is attempting to get out of the deal that Vance has forced him into, with the additional objectives of 1) not antagonizing Vance, and 2) still taking Vance down with him. Vance...

Which I would say was the best way to do it. :| You're not criticizing it, are you? My record reviewing things speaks for itself in that regard: if I wanted to criticize it, you would know. ;) More seriously, I'm committed to the principles FotF expressed in the album and thought it was fine, a goo...

Thanks. It isn't a unique concept -- things like it had been done before elsewhere, especially with the late rating system that used to be on sports-reference pages, which worked similarly to this one. Elo is getting popular these days, though, and I knew the Odyssey community didn't have anything l...

That is why I made the post right above.

Did they even produce it? As far as the plot, it's hard to speculate without having any information, but I'd guess judging by "Pamela has a Problem", another episode roughly from that time period, that it was probably not unlike a miniature "Ties That Bind". The characters in &qu...

I've been working on 2.5 for a while. Although it isn't complete yet, I thought I'd talk about it to keep interest in the project alive. The two marquee features planned for 2.5 are Elo-based matchmaking and multiple themes. The first, which I already have basically functional, restricts matches to ...

I looked at the frequency of her appearances and it doesn't seem to be any different now than the trend it's been on historically; a loop of spurts where she's available for several episodes in a row, then periods where she only is in every third episode or so, and actually we're in a 'every third' ...

It seems to be coming along, albeit slowly. The Elo range matchups will most likely not be in this version after all -- just implementing the weighted appearances proved to be a real challenge, and the site code has gotten bloated enough that I'd rather streamline things and solve problems before I ...
