Just to check, did you edit it before you made it available? There were some typographical errors and such.

I ran it through a spell checker, but trusted Scott's near-impeccable spelling. I've already found a type on the back cover. >_<

There'll be a second edition, though, hopefully graced by the art prowess of Dean.

It makes me wish I had picked out the errors while I was reading through it...

I quite like the cover. Although it would be interesting if you could dig up the first MCS map or one near the start if the book for the front cover, and a new one for the back. Or something like that.

Add Scott's other books. Like unaimed Arrow. I wanna be able to show people it. And finish reading it.

...can't you just upload a new pdf over the old one to fix errors?

Yes! I too would like a "Classics of Scott Alexander" collection up there, including the Webrings books.

I dunno if I can upload a new PDF for it. (Besides, I already ordered one myself, and wouldn't get the corrections) Even so, this is a great excuse to make a second edition with cooler stuff in it.

And I'll eventually get to other things like Unaimed Arrow and stuff. Just gimme time to recover from this one. Granted, this one was only horrible because of those damn boxes everywhere. A normally-typed story would format better.

Regardless, I fully expect Moose Corps Publishing to become the official book publisher for Shireroth. :P

Heh. Now there's a story for RIMA.

No, I will not lick the KKK's balls. If you look back to the last time we actually paid our employees (before the bank we had our money in went defunct), we paid the highest wages in the nation.

We're not evil. We're just friggin' huge.

Now, want to sign on? :document

Or join with me! Imagine publishing books AND newspapers!

...Er, that is, if I can get back to doing the View. Though I was actually thinking of remaking it as a radio show. So... er... yeah.

Radio show, you say?

Want an instant listener base of 1,117 people? Free hosting? Instant podcast format?

Someday I'll write a book with 1337 pages.

And don't join Zulu 5 Oscar! THEY ARE TEH EVIL!

According to my stats program, I have had 1,117 different IPs download the latest show we put out. Therefore, there have been 1,117 different people listening.

That doesn't necessarily mean different users. I get a different IP address every time I dial onto AOL. It depends on the type of connection a user has.

That's one of the perks of AOL. Bypassing IP bans. :document

In order to listen to the show, one needs to download it. Each successful download knocks the Awstats counter up one (IP based is a different counter). Assuming that people don't download the show multiple times, I'd say the counter is fairly accurate at 1,127.

yeh but, are there 1127 Micronationalists in the sector?

outside Lovly, there are certainly not that many on Micras....and how many lovlians would be listening? to judge from their activity on boards I have seen, not that many...
