Assets: The Unfathomable Sea
Description
First age construction style ship (bar midsection made of wood) powered by 6 (1 large, 5 small) Heartstones from 6 manses scattered across creation. The large heartstone is provides the main power for the ship and allows the ship to submerge for several hours, this allows grants those on board the ability to breath underwater. Each of the other heartstones are bound to a caste. When the heartstone for the relavant caste is in place and they take the helm the ship alters itself to a configuration more suited to that caste (detailed below).
Dawn: Fore of the ship opens up displaying a mount for an implosion cannon, the cannon is not there suggestion that it will need to be placed or possibly will appear when the ship is complete. Controls also appear that allow for an energy field which blocks incoming fire. this shield only lasts for 5 minutes or so.
Zenith: Unknown
Twilight: Camoflagues as regular vessel
Night: Cloak renders ship invisible
Eclipse: Unknown
There is also a control panel that is a permanent feature, this allows the user to activate a propulsion device. A very useful feature as it means the ship can be piloted by one individual and/or when the ship is becalmed, albeit only for 6 hours a day.
History
(will flesh this out when i get a chance)
Built by dragon bloods who remained loyal to the solars during the usurpation, House Boral. This house has not been heard from in some time and is assumed to have died out. Recently however “insert name of circle here” discovered the hidden city of House Boral. Contained within were many wonders of the first age and the remnants of House Boral, which remains to this day loyal to their Solar masters. Their existence however was not a complete secret however a grand armada of House Pelops had been besieging the island for some time. It is here that the solars learned of the true history of the Unfathomable Sea, Kirighast and House Boral.

Hi there … this is a bit of a sidebar; I came here from your email to [WP-Hackers].
You wrote “Go any category and then the tag cloud in the sidebar updates to show only tags within that category.” but I don’t see that happening here.
Is it possible that you have only 1 category?
regards

No, there is loads of categories – one for each “game”. Have a look at the tag cloud on the front page, then select a “game” from the sidebar. You should see that the tag cloud changes, showing only the tags used within that category. Click on one of the tags and it’ll only show you posts from that “game” with those tags.

Ahh, I see them now … what threw me was that you’ve got a TagCloud in your SideBar but not a list of categories.
Nice stuff!

That’s very nice. I’ve bee kicking it around and haven’t managed to induce any sort of “failure state”.
I thought the bug on WP-Hackers was “wouldn’t give results when looking for a single category” … am I remembering wrong?
This is very nice. Good on yuh.

p.s. I lost track of just where I connected with you; you’ve produced a plugin, right? tdo-tag-fixes.0.2? I’m setting up a sandbox WP right now to try it out.

For this site, I have a category for each “game” as we call it.
There is a bug where you can’t have more than one category and tags. It’s one category only plus as many tags as you like. I don’t know the history of the bug on WP-Hackers (I actually only joined last week).
I haven’t extensivily tested my tdo-tag-fixes plugin… it really was intended only for reference for others. I haven’t tested it in the latest release of WP either. If you do find any issues, make sure to inform me!
