The Town of Odyssey

Why do you love Adventures in Odyssey?

Great question! I love AIO for lots of different reasons. My childhood nostalgia is part of the reason, since I have been listening for over two decades by now. I love stories. I love to read fiction, watch TV/movies, listen to audiobooks, and use my imagination. AIO is a great fit with that - they tell lots of great stories, both one-episode ones and much longer arcs, and there are engaging characters that I connect to and care about. I also have seen God use AIO episodes in many ways to provide encouragement and conviction and so much much in my life over the years. I'll put on a fun episode to take my mind off a problem, or just for fun, and then suddenly a side story line or a certain line or verse that's used will catch my attention and I know that there was a reason that I "just happened" to select that episode. There's so much to love!

is your name really George?

George. George Johnston. Yep, that's how I picked my username, and you cracked the code.

Why do we even have a mobile site when it's so awful?

because at least it's better than the alternative of running the entire desktop site on a small screen?

Is it a general rule that other people can respond to questions people ask you? Or is it just the usual for forums of know-it-alls?

If I remember correctly, Catspaw has stated that she's fine with other people answering questions here. Like this one. =p

Yep, if somebody else knows the answer, I'm totally fine with them sharing it! Sometimes there are questions here posted for me that are clearly intended for just me to answer, but other times it's more of a site-related question that lots of people could potentially know as well, and might even remember more than me (for example, when bookworm posts about it)

I don't have the know-how to improve the mobile site (and also have never used it), so if it isn't great, I guess people have the option of using it anyway or waiting for a time they have another way to access the ToO. Hopefully one magical day in the future it will be better, but as Marvin said, it's better than nothing for now.

Could I have my weird pickles reset to zero? I keep losing money from editing in Gowers, and I not posting enough in paying places to stay above zero.

I just want to interject that as someone who has been extensively using the mobile theme nearly exclusively for the majority of my ToO activity for over a year now due to more opportunities to browse from my phone than computer at present, I have no issues, technical or preferential, with its functionality. It's not the spiffiest thing we could have, but it is absolutely not objectively bad or broken.

Just PM me to let me know when that glitch occurs and I can refund you. I reset to zero for now.

Bookworm, thanks for sharing your experiences with the mobile site.

Are you even going to bother having another election or?...

Yes, in a month the election board will go up and we'll see what happens!

YELLOW SOCKS?!

No disrespect intended but I've been wondering about the yellow socks myself.

I strongly prefer yellow socks to weird pickles, but maybe that's just me.

You will all need to talk to Top about that if you don't care for the rotating selection of odd things he keeps changing the funds to. Hmm, it's almost as if his time is limited and he has an odd imagination...

How many pillows do you sleep with?
What's your favourite thing about being Canadian?

I have two pillows. One is just not enough.

My favourite thing about being a Canadian is cheering during the winter Olympics every four years! And also that our Prime Minister jogging shirtless on a beach and getting photographed because there's a wedding happening there at the time is news. (For you serious folks out there, yes, other stuff makes the news too of greater importance...but still, not too bad.)
