The Saiyan Condition

Physiology:

A Saiyan could be considered a cross between man and ape, or the so-called “Missing Link.” They have all the intelligence, and most of the traits of a human, but with a monkey-like tail, which protrudes from right below the small of the back, as well as the more feral and primitive behaviors of the apes. Saiyans are generally well built, as a race as a whole, because of their harsh environment. Their bone structure is far denser than a human’s because of the greater gravity of their homeworld, which is ten times the normal gravity of Earth. Due to the heavy gravity and brutal living conditions, Saiyans have an increased metabolic rate which requires them to consume great amounts of energy for sustenance. Their high metabolism fuels their Saiyan physiology and endows them with a unique healing power. It also gives them the ability to manipulate ki at an increased level with respect to other races, and undergo their various transformations. This also explains why Saiyans have voracious appetites.

How to Get an Avatar

Those avatars on the comments and in the forums are pretty slick, right? It’s very easy to get one.

1. Our avatars are hosted by a site called Gravatar. You need an account at Gravatar to get an avatar here, so sign up.
2. When you sign up, make sure you sign up with the same email that you use for your Boxer and Rice account. The email syncs up the accounts and allows Boxer and Rice to see your avatar.  (The email is case-sensitive.  As Revu recommends, “Your best bet is to use all lower case for both registrations.”)
3. Once you’re signed up and logged in, upload your chosen avatar. Boxer and Rice will accept all avatars regardless of rating, and we will allow all avatars up to 80×80pixels, the maximum size allowed on Gravatar.

And that’s all; simple as that.

How to Submit Encyclopedia Articles

Encyclopedia articles are a more free-form submission than the others.  It does not have a template and can really take on any form you want, within reason.

Text-Based Articles

1. Title your article appropriately and make sure it’s informative.
2. Copy and paste your article into the body.
3. Optional: If you would like to add images to your article, please upload your image in the Upload box below.  Give it a title, and maybe a description, then upload it.  When it’s successfully uploaded, make sure that in the “Show” option, “Thumbnail” is selected, and that in the “Link to” option, “File” is selected.  Send to editor and drag to where you would like it.
4. Select the appropriate categories from the category list.  Make sure the Encyclopedia box is selected, then check the correct category.
5. Scroll further down the page to find the “Optional Excerpt” section and enter in a short summary of your article.  Your thesis statement would work, or even the first few sentences of the article.
6. Once that is complete, click on “Publish.”

Single Image Articles

1. Title your articles appropriately.
2. Upload your images in the Upload box below.  Add a title, and you may add a description if you wish.  Once it’s uploaded, make sure that the “Show” option is “Full size,” and that the “Link to” is “None.”  Send it to the editor then.
3. Scroll down to the “Optional Excerpt” box and add an appropriate, short summary.
4. Click “Publish.”
