Yah, the database is entirely new.  We can copy only logins later.

Hrm, it should reset after an hour.  I wonder if I should let it recycle
after 1 minute, just for testing.  Maybe I'm being overcautious.

Hrm, I guess I should add a rating screen for people who are logged in.
I don't have that yet.  Coming soon ...

Yes.

I changed it to "Goal Topics".  Is that more suggestive?

In the Jack & Jill story, the only goal topic is "a pale of water".

You guessed correctly.

Actually it is not really crucial to use one of each of "introduction",
"goal formation and expression" and "goal matching and evaluation."

My goal type study is only concerned with "goal formation and
expression".  The kind of stuff in your dissertation falls under "goal
matching and evaluation."  The "introduction" category is just catch-all
for random suppositions.

Maybe I need to copy this explanation into the story editor?

Pictures!  Yes, you can tell your story in comic book form!

No, actually I'm psyched that you tried it out.  ;-)
