SMOKE...http://www.zfgc.com/forum/index.php?topic=32109.0What are your views on smoking? Consider these questions:
Do you think it acceptable/unacceptable? Why?
If you smoke, do you think/worry about the risks?
If you smoke, how did you start?
If you smoke, how often?
Do you know anybody who has died from a smoking-related disease?
Do you think the sale of cigarettes should be illegal? Why/not?
If you dont smoke, do you worry about second-hand smoke?
If you dont smoke, do people who smoke around you bother you?

I helped write, direct, and act in this. It won first place recently at the Appalachian State iMovie Film Festival.

Musical Composition of the WeekQ.K.'s Aqua
So everyone in my band class had to write a short piece for school.. in rondo form. Can be any genre or already pre-made music, pretty much whatever as long as it fit into the ABACA format... which would explain why this is kind of short.
Anyways! Comments & criticism appreciated on the piece, thanks.

Big Question (BQ2)Last week's question: Would you like to see more custom user ranks (e.g. Pumpkin King, Holiday Hero, etc) in ZFGC's future?
Summary of answers: Overall, most people are favorable with the idea so long as it isn't gimmicky and is mostly reserved to just events and such. A vocal minority thinks that it would still be a bad idea however.
This week's question:
If ZFGC were to have an official part of the staff dedicated to setting up events, handling news items, etc., would you be interested in being a part of it?Join the discussion at: [?]
