The Longer Mood Petition

for those who thirst for a longer mood

The number of characters allowed in the mood section of Elftown is 50. Here are some examples of what does not fit in 50 characters:
"Genius is 1 percent inspiration, 99 percent perspiration- Albert Einstien" turns to "Genius is 1 percent inspiration, 99 percent perspi"

"Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it.- Leo Tolstoy" turns to "Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the major" (what did the Major do? What Major?)

"War does not determine who is right - only who is left.- Bertrand Russel" becomes "War does not determine who is right - only who is"

If you want a longer mood, put your name (link to your home page, like [peacefrog]) under this declaration-
I (Your Alias) have been inconvenienced in the past by the limited mood length. I believe that some words or phrases I might wish to enter reach at least 100 characters. I also believe that longer moods would benefit other Elftown members besides myself, and hence I would like the characters allowed in the mood text increased:

1. [KnightAngel] - I don't know if a hundred characters is to much or to little but I do know that a couple of times I have wished that there was just a few more characters in the mood.
2. [Sebhar] - As co-founder of this wiki, I second that.
3. [peacefrog] Obviously.
4. [Hackworth] - I like my longwinded moods... here's to having them be even more so.
5. [Araglas] I agree, longer moods are needed
6. [Moving on in Life] I say 150 characters. I got alot to say with so little to say it WITH
7. [XxTsomexX] Longer moods would be great!
8. [Lord_Guac] I completely agree
9. [Your Favorite Stranger] My moods cannot be understood up if they're incomplete
10. [drakkar] this has always been a problem on my strokes of poetic justice
11. [Cardiopulmonary Atlas] I need more space for the random stuff that I like to write up there
12. [tyler likes to eat zebra cakes] Yes! i had this joke that would have been funny but i couldnt fit it up there!!!!
13. [Bookwyrm] Well, I can understand the need for moods to be short, but there have been several times when I've been inconvenienced by the character limit. Not to mention it's rather irritating when people start adding their moods to their names making them both super-long simply because there isn't enough space in their mood.
14. [prairierose] what everyone else said
15. [bungalowbill] - I think these little blurbs should be limited to 50 characters...
[Maybe a hundred would be more appropriate to the cause... ^_^] --[Sebhar]
16. [Amarantha] says that she cannot put up her shortest Jane Austen quote in the mood box, and so she cries "Longer mood! Longer mood! Shelves in the closet - happy thought indeed!"
17. [Elodicressida] *bribes Amarantha* Longer moods! We need longer moods in o

2006-10-29 [Amarantha]: *bows*

2006-10-29 [XxTsomexX]: ?

2006-10-29 [Amarantha]: Hey Tsome! Want to join Cabbages, Carriages and Kitty-cats?

2006-10-29 [XxTsomexX]: Sure...

2006-10-29 [Amarantha]: Thank you! We really need more RPers... there's only the three of us. And BTW, the address is accurate now.

2006-10-31 [KnightAngel]: *blinks* Could I join as well? o.o

2006-11-01 [Amarantha]: Yeah! Please!

2006-11-01 [peacefrog]: *sigh*

2006-11-01 [KnightAngel]: *smiles* Okay ^^' I'll send my character a little later, going to town right now

2006-11-02 [Amarantha]: Why are you sighing, [peacefrog]?

2006-11-02 [peacefrog]: Because this has gotten fantastically out of hand...and lost all purpose.

2006-11-02 [Elodicressida]: But that's the beauty of it! But if you really want us to get on topic...
We need longer moods so we can sing the Muffin Man song in them.

2006-11-02 [Amarantha]: *looks sheepish* Sorry...
We need longer moods! It is a truth universally acknowledged!

2006-11-02 [peacefrog]: I actually don't really care that much, as it was kind of a whim, and nothing seems to be happening...I'm just grumpy, I think...^^

You know, I think Myspace has an unlimited mood now, I fit "He was either a lunatic or a holy man. It wasn't always possible to tell the difference." I suppose we could bring that up in the suggestions.

But really, I'm happy with what I've got...not perfect, but the people in charge here seem to be assholes to the last, so I don't really see the point in arguing as they know they're right.

2006-11-03 [Elodicressida]: Does that mean we can get back to pointless conversation? No, no, singing the Muffin Man elsewhere...

2006-11-03 [peacefrog]: Please feel free.

2006-11-03 [Elodicressida]:
Do you know the Muffin Man,
The Muffin Man
The Muffin Man
Do you know the Muffin Man,
Who lives on Drury Lane?

2006-11-04 [Amarantha]: I thought you said you were singing it elsewhere! Really, you're quite as bad as K, who wouldn't stop singing "Bingo" during lunch today, and Z and I had to try to drown her out with the Canterbury Prologue. It's hard to drown her out.

2006-11-04 [Elodicressida]: Ya... I can imagine K having good lungs. And you're right, I am singing it elsewhere, but - oh, well, maybe something else here. Shall I sing... K's favorite song? *cackles* No, I'm not that mean.

Eagles fly high, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.

2006-11-04 [Amarantha]: Thank you! Ban Veggie Tales! And that other one!

2006-11-04 [Elodicressida]: NOOOOOO! Don't SAY it! Don't say it, because K is omnipresent and will hear and send a murmur to follow you perpetually and SING it!
