Why is it in this timezone?
Its listen in EST because there needs to be a timezone. There are a number of timezone converters on the web and if you need help with converting please ask your team (or me).

I GOT YOUR BACK, TASH

[everythingshiny]

I AM GLAD :D

[skieswideopen]

So are you actually, really and truly running things on Eastern Standard Time, Tash? No Daylight Savings Time? It's fine if you are, of course! I just want to be sure.

[everythingshiny]

hahah there will be daylight savings. I'll work out what it is on the 1st and update the post :D

Are Video Games such as Dragon Age Allowed?

[everythingshiny]

yup :)

Does Fullmetal Alchemist fit the fantasy settings at all? It's a manga/anime where alchemy is possible but it's treated like a science with rules and such.

[everythingshiny]

hmmm if there are magical elements, it would count, but if it purely relies on science it wouldn't.
I haven't seen it though so i wouldn't be 100% sure

[zippitgood]

It's not strictly science per say. There's a plot where alchemy is used to create philosopher's stones from people's souls. These then become beings called homonculi and are named after the 7 deadly sins.

[everythingshiny]

i would say no, but its pretty borderline.

if you wanna join JUST for that show, its probably not the best idea.

[burntheflaws]

So just to be clear, something like Lost would count because it's sci-fi but with a fantasy element (like the smoke monster), whereas Dollhouse would not because everything is more scientific and explained? Or would Dollhouse count too?

And does V count as sci-fi or can it be sci-fi with elements of fantasy?

[everythingshiny]

i wouldn't count Dollhouse or V (these are pretty firmly scifi and count at scifiland) as they both use science/science fiction.
I've not seen Lost, so i'm not sure, i always thought it would be scifi.

[burntheflaws]

Hmm, well there's stuff in Lost like the dead that are buried in the jungle kind of whisper and the survivors can hear them. And there are a few people who've been hinted to have supernatural gifts, like a guy's son (though that was never explained) and another guy named Miles who can hear the dead's last thoughts or something.

And then there's a guy who went into a cave of light (I suck at explaining this) and turned into this other being in the form of a large cloud of smoke, but he can turn back into a person whenever he wants, as long as it's someone who's dead.

Fantasy elements, hopefully?

[everythingshiny]

sure that's fine.
