He is getting fresh with him.

This: Mothman, I think Julian is coming on to you!

Been there. Done that. I am after fresh blood these days.

Some one do a report.

I said I'd do one for Mus. But I'll be busy this weekend so I won't be able to get it out for a while.

No, I meant for me.

baley already did the first report. You know, baley, I'd thought of doing a story report but nooooo, Eldar can't change formats that fast. So, here I am being jealous of your bold move. Rat bastard. Okay, we need to entrench this thread with more than one report or this thread will end up getting the ax. Pixies, write someone a song, pronto.

But who? Or I know who...

I'd like to give Pixies 5 T.O.M.B.S. points for his assist in this thread.

I made a musical report for Kor, but the file was too big.

The subject of this T.O.M.B.S. report is: Shadowstrider, the one and only.

Kinda soothing. ^_^

 

BTW, I just had an awesome idea for a report format. Pixies actually inspired it. I just hope it will work out.

Soothing like a fox!

Mothman, you're actually quite a good at these reviews. Don't let these chimps bother you.

So last night/this morning I read through the entire body of T.O.M.B.S. reports. Not that this matters, but I think the best one of them all has to be Jags' review of Weiser Cain. Thats in the second thread, third or fourth page I believe.

That review was funny and accurate, but it was a terrible review. Reviews should not be hateful. Of course, Weiser manages to bring a lot of this stuff on himself, but still...

Oh, it wasn't that hateful. Not as much as that "Why Weiser Cane Sucks" poll in WoT.

For real hate, check out the first several pages of Weiser's thread circa 2004.

Good word!

 

 

Nice little allegorical vignette, too.

Well, since you're back and all, Meta how do you think we have been doing in keeping T.O.M.B.S. alive? I realize our reports are mere fluff compared to the first and second thread, but we're trying, dammit!

Woah! I've only been online for about half-a-dozen hours: I haven't had time to read version three in its entirety, yet!

 

Last thing I wrote in that thread was that the "new standard format" of Eldar's creation was in fact not a standard, as interpreted by all and sundry, but in fact more a signpost for others to create their own specific "standard" categories, much like Eldar did when he coined "didactic (good)" and "didactic (bad)" to have a dig at me (although I can't fathom why he would use those categories ").

 

The point is that people like to hear other peoples' (good) appraisals of themselves ("How good am I? Let me read the ways ..."), but actual creative effort (1% inspiration, 99% perspiration) is required to write them.

 

Which is why so few people have written them.

 

But does not mean that I do not think the required effort, in my estimation, for more than half of you is greater than half as much as you deserve ...

 

I'll need to re-familiarise myself with the old (and some new) characters of the forum before I can launch into blisteringly laconic epithets of brutal sardonicism ... if that is what the Obsidian Colosseum crowds want ... "

that was a good post Baley

Ouch, jerk. :cool:

That was quite funny. I laughed out loud and received admonition from my wife. Spellmar can bite me.
