   Player Chronicle -- Posted on May 07 2010

   I know our Chronicle system is not flawless. There are numerous things we want to do to improve this ranked blogging system, but I'd like to take a moment and encourage all of us to comment on other's Chronicles more often.
   
   This unique and powerful outlet for each of us, represents an easy way to share the gaming adventures in each of our worlds. I know for me, it's a treat to look back at past Chronicles that I've posted and remember that good (or bad) time in my gaming adventures.
   
   For those of you who don't write Chronicles very often, start small and go from there. Maybe it's a short gaming experience you had online, a thought that might help this community, or even a more involved video game review for the recent title you enjoyed?
   
   If we can all take a moment and comment/rank other Chronicles, I think it'll will catch on even more and we'll continue to have neat content rolling through the GoG homepage!
   ____________
   
   On a side note, if and when we overhaul the Chronicle system, the number one priority will be to retain ALL that each member has written, so don't worry about that. I for one, have way too many Chronicles just to start over

   Hyperlinks, pics and maybe even vids in chronicles. Imagine the pure awesomeness of those game reviews!

   Nice start here friends and keep up the good work
   
   One of the downsides to the ranking system we have in place with Chronicle comments, is that it only allows a user to comment once per Chronicle. Maybe this is slowing down the conversation after a post is made?
   
   Look at Facebook. Often times, the initial post is only the beginning to a commenting conversation, ya know?
   
   Would taking the ranking system out, or at least tracking if a user has already submitted a rank be a good idea?
   
   I think so!

   On a different note, I wonder if hyperlinks being allowed in a Chronicle would increase the amount of interest in writing them? I'd just want to stay away from those nasty spammers

   Commented on, get owned.
   
   Haha, yeah I'd agree, I haven't been very chatty lately due to life but I used to comment on every chronicle. I'll try to keep up my chattiness, but it will probably be like last time, where I will be commenting and posting around 2 a.m.
   
   Whatever works right
