    Can I do a story about a supervillain attacking some people, and the only acceptable superpowers candidate is a dog? 'Cause I want to do that story.

    I had a short one in mind...
    Starts with a villian in handcuffs in a court room. Villian breaks out and his defense lawyer is chosen for sentry duty. <<Insert fight scene here>> It ends with the villian back in the same courtroom, in full Hannibal Lecter type restraints, and his lawyer now working for the prosecution.

    I like that
    2. A dude gets sentry duty for like the 13th time and finds out he lives next door to a supervillain

    This one. So, so this one. Also i fixed my fuck-hole of a scanner and should have some Zombie Patrol design sketches in here in the next 24 hrs.

    it would be helpful if you cruised over to the site and made sure i didn't screw anything up

    proofread and check links and such

    Aye aye.

    Here are the things I could think of:

    On http://candleinsunshine.com/sentryduty/about/ :
    1) I think it would be useful to say that the abilities granted by the satellites are super-powers. Something along the lines of "super-normal abilities". I think it's a little too generic otherwise - you and I know that satellites zap you with super-power-juice, but that may not be apparent to some yokel wandering in off the Internet at large. I guess TLB's pitch right below that clears this up, but not everyone might stay for that.
    2) TLB's pitch should probably be in quotes to make it obvious that it's, well, a quote. The pitch also uses TLB's, shall we say, creative approach to grammar, which I think is really fun to read on a forum (speaking good is boring), but may be a slight mismatch with the tone of the rest of the page. Totally your call.
    3) I love the Sentry Duty FAQ, but I think it would be neat to break it out into a separate page - it's an in-character text that's sitting alongside out-of-character text, and there isn't any explicit contextual separation between the two.

    On http://candleinsunshine.com/sentryduty/news/ :
    1) Did you intend for "Why are you looking at us like that." to end in a period rather than question mark?

    On http://candleinsunshine.com/sentryduty/contact/ :
    1) In the first paragraph, you might want to make your e-mail address a mailto link.

    If I go to www.sentryduty.com and click any of the links, the correct page will load, but the URL will remain www.sentryduty.com. I think it would be cool if the URL would update as well, to let people bookmark and link to specific pages on the site.

    Overall, I think the site looks great! I really like the humor; spread evenly throughout, but not clubbing you over the head.

    yay thank you

    i will fix this stuff tomorrow but not tonight because i am le tired

    I prefer the URL not updating. It looks more professional, and if people want to save links, they can alway right click it.

    Then we are arch-enemies, and must fight. The URL isn't really a part of the site, and isn't supposed to look pretty the way the rest of the site is; it's supposed to be function-over-form!

    Can the sentry duty satellite malfunction or be avoided in any way that would lead to creative story telling?

    Gonna leave the satellites infallible and omnipotent for now

    It's too early to start messing with them

    But they do all have personalities

    Seconded.

    Also: "VILLAINS BEWARE! Sentry Duty: Being found guilty by a jury of your peers never looked so good."

    like a waning to those who might be thinking about villainy?
