The honourable Mr. Michael Jackson's weakness: Young boys . . . or chimpanzees. Or, if you don't want to be too risque (al la Leo's "wonker") "Rhinoplasty" sounds quite beautiful.

I would suggest:

Boy George
George Michael
Curious George

SICO image problem?
[838] by "Tambreet" (lca3118.lss.emc.com)   on Wed 31 May 2000 16:08:41     reply ] 
SICO seems unplayable today. The actual page for a game shows up fine, but then the images for the pieces take forever to load. Are the images stored on an NFS server that's overloaded or down? Is this a known problem?

hey, I love the celebrity wuss scale and I would like to just humbly ask if you could possibly post a message whenever it is updated (i.e. new stats/info added for celebs or new celebs added to the list). Thanks!

Errors in Binary Fiction
[831] by "Matt" (dt0c2n78.tampabay.rr.com)   on Tue 30 May 2000 19:03:48     reply ] 
After every so few posts/reviews, I end up with an error. By simply clicking back and doing it again works just fine. Minor inconvenience, but I'll report it anyhow if it helps to improve the site!
Quick Question

When Snoot is finished, will you restart Binary Fiction? That's the best part of snoot, and I hate to see it end the way it has. Hopefully there will be three storylines of BF like the original snoot.com

What kind of cruel and unsual torture is Celebrity Wuss Scale? I was there for four hours before i realised it would never tell me when to stop! I went 45 mins between blinking! Damn you all to hell!
SICO interface
[813] by "Tambreet" (lca3118.lss.emc.com)   on Fri 19 May 2000 17:07:04     reply ] 
The new SICO interface is a huge improvement over the old, but could be better still. I can think of three alternatives:

(1) Use a Java applet that allows the user to pick up and move a piece "normally". I have code for this. I realize this would lock out many users, so maybe we'd have to support this as one among N interface alternatives connected to the same move engine.

(2) Use the same interface as most online chess sites. When you select a piece, the next thing you see is exactly the same as before, but with that piece highlighted. You're expected to know where the rules allow you to move it. The main problem here is that it's not friendly for new users looking at a kirby or other unfamiliar piece.

(3) Instead of [here] use a graphical overlay to indicate legal moves for a selected piece (BTW, highlighting that piece would be nice). IMO it's important that legal captures be visible as well as legal moves to empty squares. All you need is a new set of images with the marks added: empty white square, empty white square with mark; white kirby, white kirby with mark; etc.

Lastly, can we _please_ have a rule change so kirbies can capture (only) other kirbies? I know it's a big change, but the "retreat behind a wall of kirbies" business is more of a pain than this could ever be.
