I'm the TC of the GBAtemp Writers' Guild, and I have a little conundrum. I can't keep up with the OP as much as I used to because I don't have internet at home. I wanted to designate one or two people to have charge of the guild when I can't be there, but I can't see how I can organize it. I know I can post a link in the OP to the Co-Leader posts, but I wanted to know if there could be another way. I thought I read a while back the the Mods can allow other people to edit the OP besides the TC, but I can't be sure I read that right.

I'm not sure if the new update allows this, but in the old one you could transfer ownership of the thread. The problem with that is only one person would be allowed to edit it, so you'd basically be switiching the ability to update the OP.

EDIT: I asked the same thing before with the 3DS FAQ, and tjcool I believe told me it wasn't possible. So I just transfered ownership to SoulSnatcher.

You can't assign editors to you topics I'm afraid. It's an idea we had a while back, but we never implemented anything like that.
And changing topic authors wasn't actually possible (and still isn't), although there is a trick we can use (merging the OP's post with one of the new author).

I know the blog has a feature where you can make a blog that has multiple editors, I'm not sure that everyone could edit everyone else's posts, but they could all post on the "Writer's Guild" blog.

Thanks, that may work well too. :)

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
