Yeah, you thank him a week after he expresses his approval I guess that just shows how much his appreciation matters to you, Dan.

You evil, evil man.

I've been working heavily on post-production of the latest episode along with other Poly projects (and, naturally, non-Poly projects as well) that have been keeping me far too busy.

When have you contributed material to Poly? Hmmmm... on you!

I have lowered the music's volume and re-encoded the entire episode. I didn't have difficulties making out the segment as it was originally, but seeing two similar concerns and having listened to the segment yet again -- fair enough.

Hmm. I may write some PolyCast fanfiction soon.

If you do, we'll consider it (note Imran's post above too ).

Yes, that was a bit of a problem.

The Coup announcement is creepy.

If you say so.

The theatre is wonderful Exactly the sort of thing that I approve of.

Glad you enjoyed it. On behalf of the team,

The bleeping is rather annoying. LET IMRAN SPEAK! Down with censorship!

But we're giving you the opportunity to use your imagination...

Mak, if I ever hear you use "myself" in place of "me" or "I" again, I will reveal that naughty PM you sent to me about Sid

Survivor: Polycast recieves my seal of approval

The Coup announcement is creepy.

Dan actually is quite dreamy Your voice is so sexy, so strong....Plus, you overthrew the Markos, lord of all the lands....I guess I'm just attracted to men with power

DanQ endorses fascism! How will this bode for his administration of the Kingdom of Apolyton?

Dan, I was really disappointed that you didn't apologise for your insensitivity in the other thread. You really hurt me You should apologise to joncha, too.
