Whirlwind

Issa me!

When I grow up, I want to be just like Jar-Jar Binks.

I like Twizzlers, the Alligator Bop, and my favorite drama movie is "Bloodsucking Freaks That Dress Just Like Your Mama".

I've got more rhymes than Jamaica has mangoes.

• Paris: Les Fleurs du Mal -- Lyle Algernon (dork at large)
• Ashes to Ashes -- Chad Hazeltine (Ghoul under Paris for a month or two)
• Windy City MUX -- Chad Hazeltine (same name, different character) & Lyle (staff dork at large)
• Alere Flammas -- Flip (house elf. Accidentally idled too long and was @destroyed)
• Hogwarts Express -- Louis Buxton (idle father of Arwen Buxton)
• Seradus -- Fogmore (often idle caretaker of the Tunguska Museum)
• Maintainer of the Softcode LiveJournal as well as far too many sub-communities for the Windy City MUX LiveJournal.

Whirlwind's Precepts of Softcoding

1. There are generally at least three ways to make X do Y when you type Z. One way will probably be clunky, inefficient and stupid, but it'll still do the trick.
2. Code can work with anything that can be (or has been) expressed by code. Equally, code can not work with anything that can not be (or has not been) expressed by code.
3. Code is there to complement or ease RP, not to replace it nor make it more difficult.
4. Metaphorically, don't softcode a paperweight; traffic-cones, you'll want to think twice about.
5. The softcode you write is there for the game and the players, not for you (AKA: There's a reason it's called softcode and not secret code).
