The Superest

I’ve been enjoying The Superest, an ongoing game of “My Team, Your Team”; one player draws a superhero, the next draws a superhero that can defeat that one, repeat. (Via John Gruber.)

    Huh. When the page loads to leave a comment, it shows the Markdown Help briefly, then the help disappears.

    Anyway, mostly I wanted to try out your comment system and say First Post!! :)

    Yep, the help can be shown/hidden by clicking “Show Markdown help.” That uses Javascript, so to make sure that browsers which don’t support enough of that can see the help, I have it visible by default, and then some Javascript goes in and hides it. I’ll see if there’s anything I can do to have that script execute sooner…

Use Markdown, a wiki-like syntax, to write your comment. Basic HTML tags will also work. For source code with syntax hilighting and line numbers, wrap the code in <pre lang="language" lineno="1">...</pre>

Show Markdown help.

Write Markdown text as if you were writing a plain-text email. Some examples:

  • Paragraphs: Blank lines between blocks of text
  • Links: [link text](http://url.example.com/) or [link text][ref]
  • Bold and italic: *Single* and **double** asterisks respectively
  • Lists: List items start with * or 1.
  • Quoting: Like email, quoted lines start with >
The rise of the [hamburger](http://hamburger.example.com/)
as a form of *currency* can be **attributed** to several

Yes, the most delicious hamburger of all is not brown, but
green. The green of money. Denominations of hamburger
(and current value in USD:)

* 1/4-pounder ($3.79)
* Cuneiform, or "Cuney" ($8.00)

Problems with the currency:

1. Deflation due to hunger
2. Fraud (soy fillers)
3. Hamburgers not invented yet

The rise of the hamburger as a form of currency can be attributed to several aspects of Akkadian civilization.
