Been a While...
So! Big news! The Jack of All Trades Regulation that was announced in 2010 on the RPG is finally explained on the Extraordinary Abilities page! Hats off to Two McMillion, who explained it in such great detail with his Width Vs. Breadth Theory of Power Design. Other additions include descriptions of Advanced powers, and Invidia powers! We're still in the process of working out how these apply to specific powers, like Advanced Electrokinesis or Advanced Radiogenesis. But hooray for having the basics!
If you're confused about terms like 'power farmers' or 'power families,' be sure to read the Extraordinary Abilities page linked above.

All that categorization...
Alrighty then, so you've all seen that unsorted abilities category. You may be thinking to yourself, "Geez, that thing's been there for like, ever!

I'll still drop in every day to check messages and edit everyone's contributions. I'll also be earning enough achievements to stay on top of the leader board, so don't get any funny ideas (*cough*Eevi*cough*).
Anyway, I'll still be around this weekend, albeit playing through Mass Effect 2 to gear up for Tuesday. If you need anything, let me know.
Chow.
