I use the Navi technique.

Hey! Listen!

Serial Experiments: Lain reference?  Nice.

I guess I'll have to check that out now... but no. Ocarina of Time reference. Sorry.

(who is doing the obscure references now?)

Hmm.. Navi was the computer in Lain, right?  Wonder if Zelda was referencing.

Just found this thread and read through it.  Good ideas and I'll think through it.  I don't think it's weird at all to introduce new articles.

I wanted to make a joke about you "just finding" a thread started by rrenaud, but I couldn't find a way to make it funny.

I've always had the impression that you read everything on the forum.

I make that suggestion, but IRL I will just never ever say your name.

Oh, I do that so much...  I rarely even use names anyway, unless there's a bajillion people and they're far away and I need their attention.

Also, I like this method: "How do you spell your name again?"  "Uh...  T-I-M?"

Man, just hang around them enough, they'll have to introduce themselves to someone eventually!

To which you obviously reply: "Huh, who would have guessed? I had always been told there was no "I" in there."

- Some sort of icebreaker event, get everyone to introduce themselves.
- Get them to sign a card for somebody.

A worse problem is if you forget their name again, after re-learning it the first time.

Here's an idea. Pick someone active on the wiki. Werothegreat? Give them the ability to put stuff on the front page. Bam, the front page will have news. Man right now there's:

- New expansion April 8th. You missed mentioning this but then there was new news, the actual date. Still not on the front page of a Dominion blog.
- This Steam Greenlight business with the online version.
- News about the target date for the new online version.
- Pornographic Japanese Dominion doll, how is that not news.

Schneau's Beggar article is coming up this week.  Plus an "announcement" of Dominion:Adventures for Martian rock-dwellers.  I'm reading through the others now, but any other articles any of you want to nominate?

Somehow I doubt there's a point to posting now about the Dominion Online target date.

To paraphrase Douglas Adams, the great thing about Dominion Online target dates is the lovely "whoosh" noise they make as they go flying past.

Black Market by Stef.

Rebuild mirrors by AI.

And was Hermit/Madman + Market Square ever posted on the front page?

I think links to videos of games (like, the narrated ones) would also be potential front page candidates if the game is interesting enough.  Or some of the boards/logs people post when they lead to interesting discussion.  Could have a sort of "game highlight" series of blog entries.

An easy post to make would be to link to the videos for each League Champion match, and of course I'm in favor of anything that sends more people to my YouTube channel :-P

I'll nominate my article too :P Although to be honest, I think it needs some revision before I'd want it on the main blog.

While I was surprised and flattered to see my Beggar article get more love (especially considering I haven't been very active here lately), I unfortunately have to point out that it was already featured on the blog about 2.5 years ago. Thanks though!

The Hermit-Market Square-Madman article should absolutely go up on the front page. It could be the next long-awaited for installment of Combo of the Day.

It's Combo of the Day, but that Day is only the Leap Year Day.

Announcements for signups for Tournaments (World Cup, Gokodom, etc.) and new Seasons of the Dominion League would be cool. As well as announcements and links to the Final matches if they get streamed.
