As interesting as that question is, I'm going to have to stop this discussion prematurely, I'm afraid.

Everyone, I'd like to ask that we cut the off-topic conversations short for the time being. I don't mean to be rude to anyone but this OOC has bloated to four pages without any IC posts at all, and I would like to still keep it accessible for any others that may want to join. Feel free, of course, to continue these discussions outside of the thread. Once the IC gets rolling, we won't have to limit ourselves as much, but for now I'd appreciate it if you all would humor me.
