Game Concepts: Looks vs Playing Type
As of Now People are forced to associate certian playing styles to certian Themes
Now For me I don't think its reasonable
1) A persons Look should display what that player is going to use, only because it leads to more battles
2) A persons Theme though should not. Fire is not always associated to DPS (Light) and likewise Water also has DPS aspects (freezing)
As a result, a persons color is their choice, whether orange like fire or Blue like water
Its up to them
One concepts I have is Gradient and Graphic Types
-Subliminal-Sublime isn't be used as quite, it means a solid object turns directly into a gas. This is best shown with dry ice, but Fire can be a technical representation as well. As such, using Gradient you can turn any object into smoke.
-Object Decay-The object decays into this color
-% and Weights- the amount of an object that will decay and weigh less than air, more than air, less then water, more than water. This is to simulate smoke
-Active Zone-The current Area being activated by Sublime
-Color
-Radius
-Direction-Direction in our case will point upwards or a new object it can decay. (more importantly upwards though)
This is an example
-People will be able to change the colors as they like and instead of using fire can use green goop or anything else.
Another Thing is "Classy vs Hardcore vs etc"
I don't like the idea of players being forced to wear a specific suit of armor or this or that inorder to display specific traights. So I say do away with the Armor and start with more math based things.

Good vs Bad Website: An Opinion
I've made a reasonable amount of websites as of late and most of them I don't like
Issues
1) Scrolling - I know its "common" But Scrolling is so frustrating to me when designing a website. i like my websites Packaged tight so that the viewer only has to look at a small peice
2) Design - Ugly, Simple, Generic. Google has set a standard for Clean cut Websites By literally making a very simple site themselves. Even though this is "good" I personally have distaste for Simplicity. Where is the love? Where is the Molten Steel Flowing into a Forge?
http://www.trinityforge.com/?referrer=adwords&gclid=CLWxjOnPuqYCFU1-5Qod1kxHHA
Literally just looked up this website, and I am quite fond of it (except the load time of the background picture)
Its got that Burn, got that old timey feel
Thats what I'm talking about. Epic
3) Coding - Literally my boss was telling me to put in an Iframe, to make things quickly. I'm an Artist at heart and love to intergrate different technologies. When I get home at the end of the day, I play games and watch HDstarcraft or Husky to relax and compensate for my lonliness. Its pretty frustrating hearing "Just get it done" rather than "do it right"
4) Load Times - Except for the Websites that I've kicked out (I tend to edit other peoples) the load times have been horrendous, like 15 seconds.... and its not Ajax-afied (or even at least Flash-afied) where theres a loading screen to make things easier on the eyes. But its just straight up "Wait for server"
5) Frameworks - I don't know about other coders, But I tend to shy away from working with other peoples Half-headed code.
6) Big Blocks of Text - Lightbox it, don't just Push it on people.
7) Ajax Enabled - I love ajax, I think its a great technology. I love the idea of people not being able to press the back button a bunch of times just to go to the last page. That being said, there needs to be a Back button within the page to make up for the loss of functionality. However, I am a believer in ajax as well as direct links! And it is possible, with certian websites its more important (forums) than others.
My ideal Website
-Design is about the Product-Chocolate brings Sexy, Fun, cute, farmy, delicious
-have an initial Loading Screen (even if there isn't much to load
-Language choices at least to show on the intitial loading screen
-Minimalized, Simple, Clean and Powerful-I don't mean nonexsistent, however I do mean minimal amount of Anything on a single page. However Easy to access everything from there.
-If theres going to be a "Featured" Section, Make sure that it literally is going to be in the same place as everything else. I love the idea of a "no scrolling" website. There may be some, however its more associated to large texts rather than Forcing a person on it.
-Ajax-No page Loads, once a person is on a website, they will stay there until they press back or exit out.
I'm working out a framework now that has a lot of these features.
-One of the things I plan on having is A page will load standard PHP, but then switch to ajax once the page has been given some time.
Psuedo Code
PHP Site
Ajax Load
-Changes all links for internal navigation to Ajax by setAttribute('href') and setAttribute('onclick')
Its more effecient in my opinion and will give users a more relaxed and emersed experience
