    We're going pretty slowly too. I guess we won't have time problems, though

    I talked to Water and he said he was fine with it due to other members being inactive (neither has contributed anything as far as I can tell)

    Greenwater10 is now on break, so we re-drafted him to our team.

    teamwork = people working against your ideas and it all comes down to one person who hates you to decide what to do.

    I agree completely. I know that feel, when you have an awesome idea and the person who hates you rejects it.
    That's okay, we must still compromise. :)

    Well, historically Mafia Channel, and indeed, QC, have been lacking when it comes to judging a theme's balance. I'd advocate the winning (ours obviously) theme go through an abbreviated QC with its own thread and testing and everything. The "losers," who I'm sure also have great themes, could potentially do this as well.

    Winners should become sMAs and forum mods automatically :x. Or at least get a badge.

    I like the badge Idea actually. And the MA idea though that won't happen. I actually don't like it as it's not realistic. But the badge thing would be cool.

    Ok so, public team meeting guys. We have to decide on what we want our concept and flavor to be.

    Our motto was Haste makes Waste, so we didn't even start working yet.

    I never knew what the acronym meant, but the idea is "to win by default". Anyway, we don't have a single line coded yet!

    This sounds like an excuse from someone with no code at all.

    Also, if anyone is desperate enough, you can use my Tag theme for the contest. Of course, you won't win by doing that, but at least won't lose for having no theme lol.

    Our theme would have cleared 3700 lines at the peak, but we cut it back (condensed long lists of like 40+ lines into 1 line). That, and a few additional roles/attributes were cut shrinking our theme down to 2365 lines, or about the size of 2.5 Oceans.

    Also, hurry up you Idling Inspectors, we want to play already!

    So, we all know that if Fuzzy's team doesn't win their theme is going to be rejected. :P Size it was matters guys. It is how the theme operates.

    I'm not commenting one way or another, I'm just saying our theme had the potential to beat WWII's record had we formatted it the same way.

    tl;dr
    Too long; didn't review
