- I think I might stick with the color system, but just use one color for all names. I dunno, on one hand it was nice cause at a glance I could tell who was being mentioned, but at the same time, as Fairess said, it was kind of distracting. I'll probably do what everyone else does.

- I like the idea of the character-sensitive colored information, though. I think that's a really cool idea. 

- I don't know if clogging the OOC is necessarily a bad thing. Isn't that what OOCs are for? But either way, having a set date for your major posts might not be bad, either. However, I have an incredibly flexible schedule, so no matter what we end up coming up with, there's a 99% chance it'll work for me. If I had to choose between those 2, however, I'd choose making liberal use of the OOC, simply because being put in a situation where I wouldn't be able to post on a Sunday may also mean I wouldn't be able to PM you and let you know. 

And as for notifications, I didn't seem to get anything.
EDIT: They may have been because I wasn't subscribed, which I am now.
