I'm thinking about how dissappointing NWN was. I gave it few chances, but it never did anything for me

I'm thinking about the time CoF was going to GM a CoC game. Also, I am surprised that the SW RP in the PnP section actually survived for more than 5 pages (and had more than just one person playing). However, unless a mod does something, the game looks like it will die from excessive spam.

T3 is appreciative of the kind gesture Atton tries to offer, but it isn't enough. He leaves the room and hears G0-T0 verbally demolish Atton after an exchange they have. T3 continues the senseless grind next to the workbench, but sees Visas meditating. With his secondary processor he begins constructing a program that might help him "clear his mind". A sub-routine, a ghost of himself, without his normal core thought processes that ponder reality and pain. After finishing the workbench, T3 turns his new program on. Even though he won't interact with people like normal, at least he also won't be thinking of how painful things are.

I had never seen the Leeroy Jenkins recreation. To me, it was gold: Leeroy.

((OOC. I'll delete this if Billy doesn't want me to be T3 or anything)) T3 ignores the commotion of the humans and other droids. He tries to cheerily accomplish task after task of fixing and tuning the ship. It has become an obsession to him, and he realizes that he is turning into one of the countless other droids without soul, who only work and work, showing their lack of substance. But being away from the Exile, the most recent human to actually care about him... it hurt. T3 thinks, maybe that flying fat one was right, maybe this is just hell... But T3 ignores that, and works. Synthesize and replace power coupling. Analyse and tune warp drive. Account for supplies in the storage room. Go go go, never stop never stop. Can't stop. Too much pain.

It sounds like you finally took that geometry class.

Wii are free of giimiicks! Wii both do, buddy.

Wait, was that your question?

Yeah, so when I said the pentagram thing, I was serious.

Ultraviolet. If I was a fan of the comics this probably would've been really cool for me. The plot was alright I guess, the action was well-coreographed, and the camera shots were pretty artsy-fartsy in a good way. Tis best categorized as an "okay, but not anything great" movie.

There was this poll done one time, for people who had cavities or not, then which of those people flossed regularly or not. It was funny because almost all the people who hadn't had cavities didn't floss regularly, whereas most of the people who had cavities did floss regularly. Though it was funny seeming at first (flossers get cavities), the point was made that the people who got the cavities didn't want them again, and so were prompted to floss regularly, whereas the people who never had cavities weren't prompted to floss, since they never had tooth problems. Saying that flossers get cavities a lot more than non-flossers would be a logical fallacy, like "post hoc".

Also, it is harder to moderate tons of short-stories. And I am thinking about how when people say "she" in reference to Fio I become somewhat confused as to Fio's gender, even though I know she is a "he". Then I thought about how only the forum regulars know what I mean when I say Gabrielle. And how it is as if I know a part of useless, pointless history that is now forgotten by most.

True and funny. Funny because it was so true. You also created a sense of suspense, which makes the story even funnier in retrospect, because you get the reader to feel like they also desperately need to take a dookie.

-The hummer license plate was noticeable, though I had to double-take. Whose was it? Is it just there for dramatic effect? -I didn't get the flamethrower one. In fact, I don't know if I ever figured out that the wizard was the little kid. I assumed it was Brian, and that he had become a vampire after that horrible night. The only clue you gave that Vincent was the kid in the beginning (which I thought was pretty well written), is when you have Vincent say, "You vampires killed my family long ago." And that isn't much to connect the dots with. So in the start, you might note a scar or something distinguishing on a vampire, that it was in fact Brian who killed the man which kid-Vincent was wanting desperately to warn. Even if you didn't intend for Brian to have been there, you might consider it, since it would make the wizard's vendetta even more connected to Brian as the first target. (I don't know if vampires are supposed to be blemishless, but it would make sense that if Brian had the scar before he became a vampire, that it would stay). It could also be something else, or you could ditch that idea, it is up to you. -And Brian reverting to his old ways is only kind of noticeable once you point it out. Maybe think of a progression which would be more obvious. At first he uses guns a lot, then he uses them less, then he clubs them and melees with other blunt or sharp objects, then he is only using his hands. You kind of did that, with the billy blub, but then he went back to the shotgun, so it wasn't very obvious. You sound like you do want to add to the backstory of Brian as a constable. That could be good, but if you do that too much, it might confuse people as to why you only focus on one part of his 1,000 year lifetime or whatever, since he may have been a type of law-enforcemer before he was a constable too. Did something dramatic happen that made him want to be law-enforcement? To give up being "the reaper" and start protecting people? It makes sense that he would move on after 20 years in one place as constable (people getting suspicious as to why he doesn't age). I think that could be good. Actually, you probably would've addressed all that so that it wouldn't be confusing. Sure, talk about how he got his title as the reaper, how his only love died as criminal collateral, and then how he gave up his old ways and became law-enforcement for the past 30 years or so, constable for most, and then at this new branch. Sorry, I ramble, hopefully you can use an idea or two. So although you wanted this to be short-short, don't worry if it ends up longer . A sequel you said? Could be interesting. I'll enjoy seeing what you do with the story.

Wow, that was unexpectedly enjoyable. Nice job Eddo. I think I'll give it a good 8.

It's rather long. What do you rate it? (See, if you rate it a 1 then I don't know if I want to read it). Edit: Heck, I am already doing nothing.

Hey Pixies, if it means anything to you, I would be drafted in your place if it was allowed. Actually, I don't see why the US government couldn't reform their draft into a semi-selected thing. Here is what I mean: forms are given to all eligible. On the form there are some options, like in 3rd grade when you would write those innocent little notes that said, "do u love me? yes no (circle one)". The options would be something like: "I absolutely do not want to be drafted", and "I really don't want to be drafted, but I am willing if I absolutely have to", and "Sure, if you need it, but if you don't, leave me alone," and "Those other people do not sound like they want to go, so I will go in their stead, if that is what it comes down to," and "Go ahead and draft me." This poll couldn't make drafting worse, and it might save some people who really don't want to be drafted, yet, they would have been chosen first since that is the order on the list or however it goes. Alas, another idea buried in the sandbox.

I was thinking, a good solution if you were ever in the wilderness and lost, is to get a few of your teeth taken out and replaced with packets of highly condensed sugar in a hard, tooth-like shell. And when you are having symptoms you just bite your tooth really hard and slurp the stuff. That was also my solution to spys who are caught. You have the same idea, but replace the sugar with cyanide. The problem is that you lose your teeth and you might accidently bite the cyanide tooth in a fight. So I ditched the idea that was to make me millions. And here are some more "cyanide for spys" ideas that I brainstormed. You get your finger cut off and then you replace it with cyanide putty in the mold of a finger. It is not flexible, but in times of great distress, you bite off your finger and chew like mad. You are also not permitted to swim with this, as it can dissolve and an innocent little kid could get a mouthful of it while relieving himself in the shallow end. Another one we made with mixed results was the cyanide headband. This was a great idea since it was very accessible yet discreet and didn't malfunction like the tooth. However, we realized it did malfunction: the test subject began to work out and the cyanide was absorbed into his pores, whence he was killed in a few minutes time. For the sauve we created cyanide mouthspray. "Need a spray?" you slyly say. To the enemy it seems okay. Though, as you can guess, the deadly spray was mistaken for its non-harmful counterpart, and the test subject was gone in a few minutes. Eventually we realized that we could get some paramedics and gear on standby for these freak accidents, but that was when the government found us... I mean, stopped funding us, and they arrested us... I mean, the project was arrested, that is, terminated. I still look back at those days with warm feelings.

I agree, and I know I wasn't posting out of spite. However, I shouldn't have teased and been stupid until I knew him better. And it was rather out of line to do anyway, since flaming is flaming. Thanks for your words Rosbj.

In general, we flamed him. I apologize first and foremost I guess, since from what I've seen him say afterward, the stuff I said really got to him. My first post was my reaction to him in general, what he seemed like and stuff, and that was obviously rude of me. However, I would like to note that I didn't say anything about his "willy". He combined that from someone else's post with what I said. The content of the second post though I do not regret, but, I guess I regret that it sounded elitist, and I think he didn't hear it because of what I already said to him. The things I said there though are more or less logical and I really did my best to not attack his person and instead to suggest to him things he could have done to be better accepted here. Again, I apologize to you guys and to him. Fionavar added his own reflection if you guys read the end of that thread again. I think he said it really well. In fact, I think it will get even more publicity here, and so I'll quote it:

Nah, it's more of a republic. We are stuck with the guys we voted in a few years ago. I'm not saying that is bad or good, just that if something happens that we didn't expect, we can't change leaders instantly, even if there are better people for the job.

They'll hunt you down and you'll be bunked with the Hoff.

then shouldn't we,as the older and more experianced citizens of this world, encourage and guide him onto more prosperous pastures? since coporal punishment is no longer allowed... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, good idea. Alright, Billy_Willy, I am not qualified to tell you what to do, but as a caring forumite, you need to know that your actions of late have been intrusive and caused people to frown. Firstly, you should probably delete this thread. If it is for what you say it is for, then it looks like you have tested your knowledge well enough. However, your side-show advertising ("111! I know everyteh thing + I R0X0rz") has turned out to not be true. And even though you recanted your statement later, it comes across as arrogant. Secondly, when people respond to you with a general adverse feeling, and you notice (http://forums.obsidianent.com/index.php?showtopic=43152&view=findpost&p=660173), then the proper response for matters that don't matter to you much is to stop. Now if you had this feeling that you totally believed you knew everything about Warcraft, and even if people said it was wrong and you just disregarded it as fabricated, then you would be known as something else altogether, like an ignorant fool. However, you noticed, and you claim you don't care about Warcraft anymore (at least, you don't play it), so just let it go. Thirdly, we are not a group that wants to dislike people, but when rubbed the wrong way, we do dislike. Perhaps rethink your tactics for being famous here, because it is making you infamous for being "dumb" as opposed to famous for being "teh R0xoRZ".

He claims he is "older", yet, he seems so juvenile. Blatantly bragging in a forum into which he registered a week ago. Also, he says that he has grown too old for Warcraft games. And then that he has had sex with his girlfriend. WoW. I am guessing he is a misguided 16 year old looking for acceptance in all the wrong places.

Either way, you sound jealous.
