Greetings Forum members!
You may have noticed that there were some recent changes to the forum groups, in particular the titles assigned based on post counts. Members with over 10 posts are now Drones, and have 2 bronze stars! The more you post, the higher your rank. Some of the now-configured ranks include:
Newbie
Drone
Minion
Gene-Bound
Thorathian
Citizen
Mechanic
Maerynian
Baron
Grand Warlord
Chairman
Sentinel
Happy posting! 
But what if Tamar wants to STAY a Thorathian?! I happen to be very good at my job you know!
You have to become a Thorathian first to stay a Thorathian, yo.
watches in horror as Tamar posts hundreds of times in rapid succession, each requiring moderation

Yeah, you really ought to know better than to challenge me like that! Pointless posting, here I come!!
I suppose you could make it to the one you want then just start posting sparingly… slightly sad though.
If there’s something that you want to hang on to, you can always put whatever you want into your signature. That’s what it’s there for!
Well, this just makes me think I should have made my forum name “Citizen Jodie”. expresses regret
I think you can change your viewed name somewhere in the options.
Oh-ho! Or I can! Bwa-ha-ha-ha! You are now Citizen Jodie, because I deem it so!
<—First to Thorathian, Tamar. 
We will Duel for the insult you have given me! Swords at dawn!
(Because swords are cooler than pistols! (And lets make that more like Noon. Dawn is so early! Who even gets up then? (Aside from Christopher, but he doesn’t count)))
I checked to see if you had enough parentheses because I’m a nerd. :-\
Being that I’m now classified as an alien whose entire race is bred as warriors, has far superior strength to humans, and bone spikes jutting from my elbows, knees, and back, I don’t think I’ll be needing a sword.
Yes, but she’s a robot.
I Double checked to make sure I had it right because I know there’s that kind of nerd on the forums. I might be one.

Yeah, I’m still pretty certain I could kick your ass in a fight 
Bring it!
You wouldn’t want to get a syntax error “) Expected”
As a quick aside, this was the 500th post on the forum!
Me, too. My time as a Scheme teaching assistant granted me a count-parentheses Feat, so I do it automatically.
Whereas my time as a perl developer means that this makes sense to me: m/[)\s-]\d{3}-\d{4}[\s.,?]/g
Which is why the rules for our next game will be in an odd mix of C++ and Spanish.
Sounds like quite the hassle…
That’s perfect for me then, heheheh.
Choose your weapon:
C++/Spanish: if (targeta->villano) { targeta->dan~o->(‘fuero’,2); }
Perl/Scheme: $target->type =~ /villain/ ? exec “/usr/bin/scheme: '((damage (x,y) (case ((‘0’) y) (else (damage (x-1)(side-effect (“perl y->damage(‘fire’,‘1’)”)))))) ('2) ($target))” : carp “Please choose a villain\n”;
I think I speak for all sane people when I say #1 please.
I… I think my brain just imploded…
(Programming is NOT my thing. Clearly :P)
I second that Tamar.
…Does my art have to be in ASCII?
Adam: How narrow minded of you that you don’t think of any cultures outside of the Latin set. You should use UTF-16 art, or at the very least, a decent MBCS like UTF-8.
Mais non!
On the otherhand, how cool would it be too blow up the art for one of Omnitron’s robots to find that it had been done in ASCII pointilism?

turns off Admin “voice-of-truth”
. . . what makes you think they’re not? Adam spent YEARS on those drones. Also, there are secret messages written in the blue wiring on Omnitron’s back.
turns back on Admin voice
Ahem, erm, nothing to see here.
I’m beginning to suspect something very fishy is going on. -_-

This is entertainment for me. The only card that would give me a problem would be Sub-Zero Atmosphere, as it would require somehow selectively altering the subscriptions, maintaining the altered state of the subscriptions, and remembering how to put it back when it is destroyed. Not exactly a best practice when dealing with IObservable and family.
There are words in TheJayMann’s posts, but I’m not convinced they mean anything. ???
They have meaning to anyone who knows C# and the Reactive Extensions for .NET.
looks again
scratches head
…I’ll take your word for it.
Ryan, I am disappoint. I’ve only taken a few programming courses and I followed all that. You on the other hand were a Computer Science major for a while before I convinced you to abandon that path and come to the English Major side.
I was a Computer Science major. Then I was a Computer Science minor. Then I dropped it like it was hot because Java was slowly killing me.
Well, you can’t blame him, Computer Science only explain how a computer is supposed to work. It doesn’t really teach programming. That’s what IT classes are for.
I don’t know. I’m learning quite a bit of programming as a computer science major, but it’s all secondary to the concepts I’m learning. It’s a lot of, “this is how you want to think, also you might need to know how to do this to accomplish that.”
Hey, any chance for a custom tag at the highest category? That would let folks who want a lower category but have posted their way out of it to “go back” to it - or come up with something equally (or exceedingly) entertaining… 8)
And as for all the code slinging going on… Hey, I got out of IT for a reason. :-X
A swhat?

[/quote]Exquisitely cool!
sigh Well, there goes the rest of my evening…
Huh. I probably should have made those all separate posts…
Rabit
Sweet, I made it to Baron level. And, yes, I realize it’s been well over 120 days since the previous reply, I’m sure I want to reply…
Yeah, yeah, yeah…
