From the point of view of a somewhat experienced HTML/XML/CSS coder, I strongly recommend not using <font color="#00000">. Use <span style="color:#00000"> instead. I fixed this myself. Also, there is a CSS shorthand you might find useful: When you have an RGB code consisting of three pairs (such as #00aa00), you can abbreviate this by using only one letter per pair (using the previous example, #0a0). This shortcut will not work with something like #0cdea1 or even #0000a5; the color code must consist of three "double digits".

ok, i'll take your word about <font color=> vs. <span style="color:">... thanks for the shorthand tip...-- LyingBrian 00:52, 21 August 2007 (MDT)

My other major concern comes from being a Newbie to Mafia. I'd really prefer to see the game in chronological order (Night 0, Day 1, Night 1, ... Endgame) rather than scrolling back and forth between separate "Day" and "Night" sections.

yeah, a couple other people said the same thing... i don't remember why i liked them separated, so i fixed it...-- LyingBrian 00:52, 21 August 2007 (MDT)

A third concern come from my time on Wikipedia. It is generally considered a Bad Idea to have heading consisting entirely of a link. SigmaEpsilon (talk) 19:20, 20 August 2007 (MDT)

again, you're the expert, so i'll take your word... i kinda didn't like it either... i fixed this as well...-- LyingBrian 00:52, 21 August 2007 (MDT)
