<Funniest Thread of the Year 2014 Award Winner>

Pink elephants fly at midnight.

They should take the train. It’s faster.

Are you sure about that? Last night a saw an orange elephant flying at midnight, not a pink one.

Fine. Orange elephants should take the train at midnight.

Did you know, that the >G forums is always on a tab on Ronway's web browser? And he checks it almost obsessively while surfing the web!

What browser?

I'm still faithful to Internet Explorer!

You must feel pretty lonely, then.

Purple?

I'm sick of seeing this thread. 

I know it's always on a tab on my browser. I have a large collection of tabs that are always open.

I use Session Manager for Firefox to keep pre-loaded sets of tabs, one set for mornings (which includes the web comics I follow) and one for evenings (which includes the news-related sites I follow), and >G forums are on both.

Also, hamsters.

I have a tab dedicated to Hampsters.

I rarely ever check the >G forums.  I'm too busy telling the wierd colored Elephants that we don't have train cars that can hold them, and they might want to try flying.

I can't speak for other countries, but in the States if the TSA would just give the elephants their own security screening line, they'd probably have a much easier time trying to manage their flights.

I WANT AN ELEPHANT

I can see you…

I'm about to go mad with the tedium of work today, so I am posting in here. Whee!

ELEPONY!

WHIPAPHANT! Destroyer of tediums!

The flavor text of Haka of Battle is sour apple.

Start shameless self promotion
Hey there! If anyone reading this thread is interesting in voicing a character in a radio play adaptation of the Freedom Four Annual on the Greater Than Games Website, head on over to the Radio Play thread in the Fan Fiction section and sign up to audition.
End shameless self promotion
I hope since Pydro started this thread that I won’t have to pay for advertising fees, but if I must pay, I am willing to do so in Elephants with accompanying bags of peanuts.

You have made me an offer I can’t refuse.

If we're doing just random thoughts on this thread, I had a funny thought the other day...

I think it was a huge missed opportunity to not give Jim's Hat the effect: "Reduce radiant damage dealt to Chrono-Ranger by 1."

It's a hat, after all.

It would be funnier if it specified reducing damage dealt to Chrono Ranger from Citizen Dawn and Ra by 1.

Random thoughts?

One of my friends wants to rework the entire Realm of Discord deck, or at least the art and some of the damage types because someone misread it as the Realm of Disco, and we kept calling it that for the entire game.

All damage is now Sonic, Radiant or Psychic, and we want to make disco-themed versions of all of the art :P

Here's an easy change: PEF becomes "Staying Alive".

Explosive Travoltas?

Claustrophobic Delusion, that picture is begging to photoshop a roller skates onto the foot.

Explosive Bubbles equally looks like it would fit with Disco Balls

Soul Train = Ghostly Images

[REDACTED]

So.....anyone remember rule #15?

ohgoodlord... 


Why aren't mods inherently playtesters like admins?

I can't speak for the others, but I was already a playtester when I became a mod.

Is there a mod who is not a playtester?

That’s my point. Wouldn’t the mod badge give you access to the PT forums? Admins don’t have two badges.

Oh, wait. I think you are noticing that the people who are Admins don't also have playtester badges, but the people who are Mods DO also have playtester badges, concluding that it's possible to be a Mod w/out being a playtester, and asking why that is possible.

I don't know for sure, but I think the reason is that the way the forums work, various abilities are tied to various roles, the admin role gives one the ability to do anything, the mod role gives one the ability to do various things to posts that the mod can see, and the playtester role gives one the ability to see some forums that not everyone can see. In order for people who have the mod role to be able to see the playtester forums without also having the playtester role, presumably the mod role would have to be altered. I don't know how hard it would be to alter that role, or if there might have been some interest in keeping mods from seeing some forums in the future, but my guess is that the real reason things work the way they do is because it was easy to configure the software this way.

Stop trying to take one of my pretty badges away, Pydro!

@imprimis5

That wasn't my intent at all!

@arenson9

Ok, I guess I just assumed that a mod badge would give full access to the forums. Thanks for the clarification.

Fun fact! Adam has the Admin, Moderater, and Playtester badge.

Thanks a lot, now I am trying to remember something he posted.

Something like this? https://greaterthangames.com/forum/topic/homemade-things

Yep, thanks. Wow, he must be the most powerful person here.

He would be.


If he ever showed up.


I dislike this new policy of nobody posting anything new for more than 2 hours.

With no villains in the area, what would Haka do on the weekend?

Go and see the Naturalist at the Zoo.

Go out for the day, buy some balloons and a sandwich...

And get shot in the back.

OK, I think we need Christoper to come in here and answer one of the most important SotM questions:

Does Haka suck the helium out of the balloons so that he can to make funny voices?

Now I'm imagining a parody of "Like a boss" (NSFW) called Like a Haka.

Particle man, particle man, doing the things a particle can…

Someone should make that video! I nominate not me. I can’t sing.

Seriously, we need to figure out who Particle Man and Universe Man are in SotM.  Because Absolute Zero is Triangle Man and Proletariat is Person Man.

Tachyon.  A Tachyon is a particle, and all of Tachyon's incaps involve Triangles, and Frost with his flash freezing is one of the few who could counter Tachyon's speed.

Universe Man is likely Captain Cosmic.

Particle Man? Bee Bot

have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moon light?

http://www.isittuesday.co.uk

"Size of the entire universe man."

Universe Man is obviously Cosminautilus.

And Particle Man will presumably be Triangle Man's nemesis...

So we have "Ask a forumite a question" and we have "Ask all forumites a question" so that only leaves one other possible pairing for this formula, "ask ONE forumite ALL the questions", I nominate Foote to answer all of questions, about anything that has ever happened or will ever happen.

My first question is "Why?"

I second the nomination!

You missed "ask all the forumites all the questions".

We could ask one question all the forumites.

Awkward!

Did you ever find the pic?

No, I could never find the post! So I decided to leave that behind me... But the evil Siege-Breaker is out to ruin the Cursed Acolyte's Truth Seeker image!

Edit: Also I think I may have misinterpreted the post. Kind of like how easy it was for them to fool us with the whole Dr. Medico thing.

I was looking for the source of the six expansion comments, and found a few interesting posts. For what it’s worth, I thought you had a good basis for your argument. It’s just funny how everything turned against it.

Cursed Acolyte Truth Seeker = CATS

My basis just didn't come from me though! It was inspired by whatever thread that was on. Although... Now that I think about it, I wonder if it was refering to the fact that Fright Train wasn't going to be a solo villain?

CATS? Oh no! They set us up the bomb! :(

I hate weekends on this forum.

I totally agree! Why can't people make bunches of post?

Sorry for not posting anything this weekend - been packing boxes all weekend.

So…why no GSF launch party like Vengeance? We could’ve helped out.

I wonder what you could be packing…

Depends, a member of the NRA?

Need Ronway's Awesomeness?

I see no need for apologies.

By the way, thanks for everything.

OK, let's get this out in the open. As far as I know, there might not be multiple people on this site. It could be one person with multiple accounts. The only real question is "which account is the real one?"

I'm not real!

Why does there have to be a real one? Why can't all of these accounts be equally (if not very) real?

Well, I can assure that I really am me, and there's no way anyone can prove otherwise. I've always been arenson9.

CRAP! Posted that under the wrong account...

Where's that damn Edit button?!

I knew it. If you convert each letter to a number based on the position in the alphabet, then add up the numbers you get:

arenson9 = 95

Rabit = 50

arenson9 = rabit * 2 - 5 (you subtract five because there are five letters in "Rabit")

giggles

I have met people who claimed to have accounts on this site, at least. Whether or not they do, however, cannot be proven.

Of course, I could be referring to myself...

I have another account that I had made, just so I could see how things looked as a non-playtester. It looks so odd!

All hail Ronway!

I think you are going to have to explain the name.

(You could’ve just logged out and accessed the forum as a guest.)

Waffler - Person who waffles.

But being logged out would make the website tell me to login, I couldn't have that. And I had a few things I would of used the account for, but decided against it, thus leaving it abandoned!

So Gloomy recruited the Cursed Acolyte so he could make him breakfast?

Of course, why else would Cursed Acolyte have the power of fire?

I know there has been a lot of discussion about whether or not the name of a thread should clearly indicate what is in the thread. I wanted to know if the name of this thread was an issue.

Looks like we need to split the thread!

I sent a PM to the infamous Waffler, but, alas, he has ignored me.

I hear he's a pretty rude guy!

At least he acknowledges his rudeness.

He has a good reason for it. Being from Kansas, he was sucked up by one of them there tornadoes, which took him to the land of Oz... But instead of going to the one that we all know and love, but the one from The Wiz!

I can see you!

If I put out Micro Targeting Computer before Imbued Fire, why shouldn’t I get the bonus for both. Once one applies, why should it go away?

Because, it's da rulez!

Your playstyle is what needs fixin'!

Mr. Fixer needs fixing!

Gloomy is too easy!

Well... I can't agrue with that.

Hair Trigger Reflexes should stop fowls from chaining!

But that would amke Matriatch too easy, what fun would that be?

Team Leader Tachy is too powerful…and has short hair!

I can't really say she's too powerful, but she certainly is very helpful! And she totally has short hair!

This game sucks. It doesn't even have any dice!

Why would you need dice, when you have tokens?

The choices are obvious!

Only to someone that doesn't like teamwork!

You only start with four cards!

Skip your play and your power phases to draw 2 cards. You can be the late hero that has a starting hand of 6.

You can’t play with two heroes!

It's not very difficult to play an extra hero. You could also share the third hero with your friend, making the decision making even easier!

Wraith is just a female Batman!

Every card just does damage. Doing damage is all any hero is good for.

Batman is mainly a hand-to-hand combatant, where The Wraith has a preference for projectiles! The Wraith also sells her company and reveals her identity!

All the heroes need MOAR SEARCH!

3 on 1!

I can't take it anymore! *table flip*

I'm going to my trailer.

Uh oh, we broke Ronway. Time to order another one.

MOAR RONWAY!

Why would we want another one?

I am trying to collect the entire set.

Can you trade in 10 Ronways for a gift certificate to Denny’s or something like that?

Only the original, authentic Ronway is worth owning, no matter how much other Ronways are like the first.

My Ronway is stilll in the original packaging, I think it may have suffocated, where do I write for a replacement?

I heard they will bundle all of the Ronways together with alternate artwork and re-release them. The original is great, but going for over $500 at cons.

Matchstickman - Surely if your Ronway has suffocated, he would have come back as a Zombie by now?

We have to do something! Ronway hasn’t posted since we broke him.

Can't a guy take some time to reboot every so often?

This is a post so Ronway is not double posting, apparently that is a thing he will not do (possibly it's a weakness you can use against him in your fight there Pydro).

Woo! I can post again! But... I don't really have anything to post... Aha! I am about to sign off in 10 minutes and won't be back until late tonight! Yay!

This account is actually a bot programmed to disagree with Foote, annoy Ronway and support all anti-American propoganda concerning beverages.

Oh, and Parse is super weak.

Edit.

You are a Unity creation, Troll bot?

So, Ronway won;t double post....hmmmmm.....

Hey, Mods! Can you delete a post so that Ronway has two posts back-to-back?

Ok, Ronway, let’s here, in detail, about your amazing use of Wrathful Gaze. 2 points for each adjective you use.

Wouldn't that count as a contribution, we'd have to split the thread again.

Why isn’t Lightspeed Barrage X instances of 1 damage to a single target?

Damage reduction would cripple Tachyon.  It already gives her a tough time.  With that change you would probably only play her alongside damage boosters if you deal with a DR likely opponent.  And if you deal with a non-DR opponent and she has a damage booster, she deals upwards of 27 x X damage where X is between 2 and 7 or so.

Agreed that it is a double edge sword, but it works both ways. It just fits much better thematically, and fits much better with the pic.

It could be argued that if she hits the same spot fast enough and often enough she can punch through damage reduction.

I believe that the relevant information can be found here: Relativistic Baseball

Heh, yeah, check out Randall actually going through that during his TED Talk. Pretty funny!

For those of you who like moving pictures here is a youtube video on much the same thing

Anyone backing the digital version of Twilight Struggle?

I am.

Who would win: Q or the Doctor?

I would imagine that, given that Q has been shown up by multiple different humans on more than one occasion, The Doctor could wipe the floor with him.

Depending on what fanfiction you're reading, the Doctor wins against pretty much anyone. He's kind of like the Batman of the scifi geek scene.

I just read My Immortal. And legolas by laura.

I deserve some kind of reward, right?

Maybe something for the headache you likely have after that?

You mean the headache I got after banging my head against the wall in frustration at the sheer terribleness?

That's the one!

Yeah. I'll take the pain relief. 

Are education system.

Man, things sure our getting crazy!

Wow. Well, stuff like that certainly ain't gonna do much for America's intellectual reputation, lol.

Yeah. CPS could use a little help.

Education?

"Children played happily in the water spout"

Spout means

a. a stream of water

b. two dry ducks

c. playground

PACE sets the standard in  silliness

Wow. Just wow. I'll keep my thoughts to myself on that one, though…

Whaaa…and people actually take this stuff seriously? I mean…that multi-choice test thingy is actually a thing? A serious test that kids are supposed to take as part of their schooling? Wow, well, I suppose I can at least say that I feel sorry for the kids if that's the kind of "education" they have to deal with receiving…

I wonder what happened to Waffler.

He got too close to the syrup.

Well, a waffle is nothing without syrup.

Well… it could be.

Points to people who get the meta-ness of this post.

I prefer no syrup if the waffle in question is a potato waffle. 

It appears that while I was at Origins last month, someone stole part of my soul. I'm in the top right image! You may recognize those chops as making an appearance on the card Cursed Acolyte from GloomWeaver's deck.


It's a fun joke, trying to think of you with a soul to steal.

That's why the devil went down to Georgia and not Kansas.

Actually, those are pretty cool. How was Origins?

Those images are quite exciting! Seeing that Sentinels of the Multiverse was still being demoed, even without >G there is exciting! Plus all those games. They nearly stacked up to my shoulder. So beautiful! I still popped in for a game as well, i'm not addicted or anything...

Origins was very fun! Even though >G decided to skip out on it this year, it would of been fun to finally meet Paul and have him sign my box. I week of non-stop boarding gaming is exactly what I needed!

You should come to Gen Con some time, Ronway! 

I would if I could, the main reason I was able to go to Origins was because some of my friends were going up there and they had a spare place for someone to sleep, so they invited me to tag along.

Well, I wasn't nominated for an Emmy again.

The discussion on accents reminded me of this quiz. See how accurate it is, although, it might only work if you are in the US.

Ummmm....Potato Salad.

It gave me Overland Park as one of my answers., which not only is in the same state, but about a 40 minute drive, and houses Table Top Game and Hobby, which is the game store I typically go to to buy games and where I had picked up the first edition of Sentinels of the Multiverse.

Reno, Santa Rosa, and Modesto. This explains why I don't fit in in Indiana. I've never even visited the states those cities are in, either.

Your FLGS is 40 minutes away, I am so sorry.

Yes, it's quite sad! So whenever I am down that way, I make a day of it! There are a couple of restuarants that I really enjoy down that way. So I swing by one of them whenever I go. Makes an awesome trip even more awesome! Oh great… Now I am craving one of those places…

New York for me, apparently!

It's only an ocean (and a little bit of land) away...

Mine gave me Rockford, IL, Aurora, IL, and Grand Rapids, MI. Somehow it missed Chicago, which is geographically in the triangle between all three and was darker than any of the three.

I can see you!

Of course you can! I still have the picture of me posted up there.

Someone tell a joke.

Evern better, let's build a sentinels' joke! I'll start.

Knock knock

Who's there?

Spoiler:

(It's Guise)

Spoiler:

(It's Guise) who?

Surprise! It's everyone except Guise!

That joke wasn't any good. 

I don't feel very bolstered there Ms Allies

That joke was awesome! It was the best joke ever! I loved every second of it and will immediately get it tattooed on my forearm and email it out to every person I've ever met and crochet it into a huge wall hanging and get a parrot and train it to recite the joke constantly and get my name changed to Guise by deed poll.

Better?

Much.

Thank you for making me feel my contributions were worthwhile.

Hey, who stole my chair?

Wasn't me!

*sits down comfortably*

It was that damned Sasquatch.

Think fast!

2+2=5.

For sufficiently large values of 2.

But only for suffic-

Dammit Rabit

OOOO, I Hates that Rabit!

If you had to choose, which would you pick?

I would pick having dinner and a walk-and-talk around Indianapolis with grysqrl and his wife tonight. Which I got, so I guess I win.

I am currently the only active user here, what are you all doing instead? Have you deserted me?

Not any more. 

“Camping”

I was at a board game designer meet up, playtesting my awful prototype.

Your awful protoype? If only you knew a publisher who could help you improve it (or at least boost your confidence).

Stuff

And now we’re waiting out a storm…

Have you ever noticed that...

Yup

Something has been bugging me for awhile, why don't I have an avatar?

Personal Reasons?

Not hip enough?

Perhaps you have not defeated the avatar avenger and laid claim yours yet? It's around here somewhere for you to beat in a jingo reciting contest, get to it.

It costs 30 GreaterThanGold to purchase an avatar.

Alternately, if you draw a Sentinels villain in Paint you can get around the system and put it up for free.

That's the way of things. 

An interesting document giving tips on how to use Google Spreadsheets to help balance your game.

Why did they stop making the Sierra city building games?

@Rabit

You keep using that emoticon with sunglasses, but emoticons don't have ears. How do the sunglasses stay on?

Magic. Duh ;).

What song is this line from:

"After killing Jason off and countless screaming Argonauts."

No cheating!

Oh, THAT is EASY.

Birdhouse in Your Soul. They Might Be Giants.

And what are we going to do unless they are?

That depends on the individual. For example, Chris uses velcro, Jamie prefers rubber cement, and Robin has a habit of using Krazy glue.

…

Yeah, Robin's a weird one.

Are you sure? They might be Dr. Spock's backup band.

I love how the last line of the article says what I've been thinking the whole time: "is this an onion thing?"

Are we sure it isn't, because wow.  The stupidity.

Although I do love the comment

I bet they would be shocked to discover that they are turning their students bilingual.

Why is it so quiet?

Shush. We're hiding.

Be vewy quiet. We're hunting Wabits.

SEE!?!


Found it!!!!!!!

Wait, you told me we were hunting Snipes!

If anyone has seen a lost dog, please contact the forums.

All of the dogs I have observed seem to know where they are going, I have seen none consulting a map.

Dogs always know precisely where they are, just not in relation to anywhere else.

Dog maps are intricate and constantly updated.  Far too sophisticared for humans to understand.

Besides we have social taboos against practicing public cartography on bushes, telephons poles and hydrants.

Coincidentally, my afternoon has been spent dealing with a lost dog.

Just checking on some things: all the mods and administrators will be away from there computer for the next few days. Hmmmmm.......how can I use this to my advantage?

If you think I won't still be checking the forums constantly, think again.

About this topic or something else?

Move along. Think about butterflies and rainbows.

Ooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

(It would be a lot easier if I lived in Washington or Colorado.)

cough Yeah, it sure is easier there. Not easy here at all…

Sentinels doesn't have any butterflies or rainbows yet.  We need a promo environment deck for it: Cloud Cukoo Land.

Whipacorn and Tooth Fairy have rainbows.

Dang it, I guess Tempest's cleansing downpour has one too.  But no card has the word "Rainbow" on it.  I imagine it something like this:

Heroes cannot play cards or use powers until the start of the environment run because they are too busy looking at the Rainbow.  The villain can still play normally, because he/she has no heart.

Mr. Fixer is immune.

And as for butterfly:

Villains cannot play cards or deal damage until the start of the environment turn because, having no heart, they clearly fear butterflies.  

Omnitron is immune.

Nobody ever suspects the butterfly.

Why doesn't Unity have a butterfly bot?  Why in the world would she go for a bee over a butterfly?

Technically, it’s not a bee, it’s a hornet.

Maybe there'll be some kind of chaos-based villain (or hero?) who has some kind of Butterfly Effect card/power, which doesn't do much at first but on consecutive turns does more and more until the Universe (err, Multiverse) implodes or something :D.

The only "butterfly effect" I care about is the spread of joy and happiness everywhere!  Yay!

Bugger that sideways with a rake.

Do you know the muffin man?

Oh of course!  He lives on Shirley Lane, right?

Sadly nothing can live on Shirley Lane anymore. Not since... well you know. 

Wow dude, way to bring up the Shirley Lane incident.  Too soon.

Anyone else hungry for noodles?

I could go for noodles.

I'm confused; did the Shirley Lane incident have to do with noodles?  Cause I thought the main export was muffins.

Blueberry pancakes for breakfast here.  Yum.

I make some killer Pancakes.

I heard your breakfast was to die for.

Depends on if I cook the pork properly.

You didn't have to heat pork 160° when I was a kid

Eat here! You won't get better!

I hate weekends on here, and I am fairly certain I am going to hate GenCon weekend on here.

There have been quite a few post on here lately. Sure they were mostly rule questions for Tactics, but it certainly has been fun!

What color am I thinking of?

Ronway?

You're a color too? Ok, you have got to show me what the color looks like.

Sorry, last time I showed someone the color Ronway, their mind exploded. Ever since then it has been locked in an evidence locker.

Not a problem, we will just have imprimis6 take a look.

Siege breaker= beige ark seer

So I guess your colour is a beige boat

It wasn't, but the guess what so good, you can ask the next question.

But then we will have to deal with Imprimis7, everyone knows the 7th of something is just no good.

I think we can come up with a clever way to take care of that issue.

I don't know. I think that's right, I really don't

Hmmmm, I get to ask the question?

...

How much longer will I sit here trying to think of a question?

I'm super tempted to make up sock puppet accounts with my future iterations. But I'd miss my mod and playtester privileges too much.

Ronway... It's a magical place.

Don't believe the Apple hype!

I guess that is why I don't see Waffler anymore. That guy was great!

Oh! I just remembered something I wanted to post a few weeks ago. Anyways, I was up at a wonderful place called Worlds of Fun. When I went there, I decided to wear my Sentinels of the Multiverse T-Shirt. There was a person who said his friend loves the game. Sure it was only a single person for the entire bunches of hours I was there, it's still quite nice.

Great story! Next time don't wait!

Sorry, but that was also the day that the mini-expansions were posted in the Playtesting forums.

I was actually wondering about that.

If you want to know something really funny, the stuff was posted 30 minutes after I had left. Didn't get to see it until 12 hours later. Oh well, had a great day either way! I ended up staying awake longer then planned... Kind of like I am doing right now! This time I don;t actually have a reason for being up... I think I got lost in a chain of reading things that I have already forgotten what it was that I was looking at.

Bet I will.

Though you caught me just as I was about to sign off and get some lunch.

I bet Ronway won’t be the first one to respond to this post.

Dang it. Seriously, nobody else could post before him?

I'm just too quick!

Now what do I do with you? Is this a catch and release forum?

Totally a catch and release type of forums. That way you can make that bet again and I will not be the first one because I will be eating some sort of food I haven't decided on yet.

Ronway, I choose you!

Sorry, my moves weren't made for fighting. I only have Play Sentinels of the Multiverse, Play Sentinel Tactics, Play Galactic Strike Force, and Eat.

Time to take you to that old guy who makes you forget moves then. I have no need for you to play GSF right now. 

I wonder what he evolves into?

Sorry, I already reached my final stage, at least in this generation. Perhaps next they will add another stage? I did evolve from Wrongway, if that matters at all.

No "Play Spirit Island"? Someone's going to have to lose Eat to learn a new move…

Yeah… Things are going to start getting compicated here pretty soon. Curse them and only programming me to know 4 moves!

I bet Ronway won’t be the first person to reply to this post!

You lose that bet, for we are all Ronway!

You realize you are only encouraging him, right?

Ronway encourages all other Ronways to act Ronway like, give in and release your inner Ronway.

I tried releasing my inner Ronway once, he destroyed the house.

Here on Ronway we refer to all other places, people and things as Ronway. 

Excellent...

I am assuming you said that using Mr. Burns’ voice.

Is there any other way to say it?

fixed that for you.

Have you ever thought an Onion article was true?

EDIT: Fixed the link.

That is awesome!

@phantaskippy

Why do you have a lower case "p" here, but an upper case "P" on BGG?

Oh come on, the guy obviously needs an alias that people won't recognise.

When I'm here I like to keep a low profile.

But when I'm on BGG I'm claiming my territory.

@grysqrl

So, St. Louis is the "City of Admins" and Indianapolis is the "City of Mods", what should Chicago be?

City of Blowhards. I mean, that's fairly close to its actual nickname, right?

Too close, IMO. I don't think we need to take someone else's idea. 

Well, Rockers has already been brought up, but we probably want something more original than that. I guess we'll have to start our own clan (we're going to need a forum badge). City of [Redacted]? City of Frost and Flame? Paul Parsons is from Chicago, so we've got that going, too. And there's always City of Smoke Bombs.

So many good ideas, I can't decide. We do need are own badge though.

Twice?! You ninja'ed me twice in the Sentinel Tactics forum in as many minutes?

Damnit Ronway!

Super! Ninja!

Take away the first exclamation point.

It's not as dramatic if I do that.

Something funny.

Your face!

It's been over an hour with no new posts, why is no one creating fascinating posts for me to read and then not comment on?

Ok, I will.

I'd like to thank the Academy.

Which Academy? Starfleet?

He'd like to, but he can't because phantaskippy never attended.

{PUT NAME HERE] IS THE WEAKEST HERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

{PUT NAME HERE} IS THE BEST! YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY CRAZY! ALSO {YOUR FAVORITE} IS CLEARLY THE WEAKEST!

Perhaps you just need to shuffle your deck better?

MADE YOU LOOK!

Yep you did.

It's fun going to different threads and seeing all the party hats!

I know. This one is almost completely saturated with hats.

Why are people still up?

Because I am losing at Civilization V.

What civ are you?

Good ol' Germany.

Well that explains it.

Have you tried attacking France?

Sadly France was not in the game last night. Though I did take over Italy. Plus I helped Sweden wreck another civilization!

How's everyone doing today?

I'm doing well enough. I decided today that, once I finish the pack I have, I'm quitting smoking. This is being met with equal parts excitement and anxiety by my brain.

Good luck! Anything I can do to help?

Nah. It's gonna be hard, I'm gonna be in a gross mood for a whole, but I'll make it.

Good luck. I recommend lots of Sentinels as an anti-cigarette.

Ha. The hardest is going to be while driving. I pretty much chain smoke constantly now while behind the wheel, and I won't have anything to distract me.

For the sake of your future health (and those around you), that's awesome to hear.

Tough to do, but I imagine you'll be able to stick to it.

Thanks. That's the biggest reason. Along with the fact that the added stimulants can't be good for my GAD.

Ah, yeah, definitely.

Best wishes, Craig.

Ha. The hardest is going to be while driving. I pretty much chain smoke constantly now while behind the wheel, and I won't have anything to distract me.

Just do what The Kids do these days and text while driving! (DON'T DO THAT. THIS IS NOT ACTUALLY ADVICE.)

Very exciting! Good luck! May it be as easy as possible.

Hang in there! I heard of a great quitting technique that may help: every time you think of having another, call a friend. This friend will punch you in the face as hard as they can. This also works for dieting.

Consequently, I always available to help.

Tip from my psych professor at uni (whose research area was addictions): don't try to put your cravings out of your mind by not thinking about them. The studies he did showed that people who allowed themselves to think "I really want a cigarette" were much more able to let the craving go and had a higher quit success rate than those who tried to stop thinking about it altogether.

Seems that if you try not to think about a craving, it's much easier to obsess about it and that makes it more intense.

And good luck! If you've made up your mind, throw that pack away or give it to another smoker. Also, don't beat yourself up if you do fall off the wagon because nicotine is an extremely addictive substance, and definitely don't think "I'll quit again tomorrow" because then you'll smoke a million that day. Quit again right away.

I was talking to an ex-smoker once who said she hadn't had a cigarette in more than 20 years, but she was still quitting, because it was always a challenge.

I had another friend who had never smoked in her life, but after her bartending job was addicted, and had an urge inhale deeply every time she smelled smoke.

It's scary stuff. But it's quitable.

I've never smoked, but my sister does and she managed to successfully give up for a while (before some really stressful stuff came up and she started again) by making sure she sitll had fags on her but just putting off smoking one - "I'll have one in a few minutes", "I'll have one later", and so on. She said after about a week she didn't feel like having one at all so she just gave the ones she had to someone else (a work colleague who was a smoker, not some random person lol). She said if she'd got rid of all her fags (or smoked them all and not bought new ones), it would've been bugging her that she didn't have any on her if she wanted one. But the fact she could light one up at any time meant she was able to keep putting it off until she just didn't feel like one any more.

I tried this a couple months ago, actually. Crash and burn. I don't have the ability to resist, if it's that easy.

Wrong mindset; it's not RESISTING, it's PROCRASTINATION. Surely THAT shouldn't be too hard, right?

Whoa now, procrastination isn't just wasting time.  Procrastination is an art form that takes a lifetime or longer to master.  My family has been working on it for generations, and I still learn more every day.

Oh, I know. I'm a master at it, myself; I can procrastinate the effects of my Narcolepsy, I'm so good at it.

I'm just saying, delaying is easier than "resisting."

Resisting just requires opposition, delaying often requires subversion.  Which one is easier is relative to the situation.

Can a mod split the above, so I can go back to making nonsensical comments?

You still can. There's nothing here that needs saving.

I need saving! HELP!

Apparently I need saving from double posting too

I need saving! HELP!

I still need saving, I am trapped in this thread. I've been here 30 minutes now.

I'll save you, but first give me the lamp.

Lamp? I came down here looking for the rarest of treasures, a copy of the Young Legacy promo

Oh, well, too bad. If you had a Super Scientific Tachyon, then maybe we could make a deal. I guess I'll just sit here and watch you squirm.

Mods: phenomenal cosmic power, itty bitty living space.

*squirm*

*wriggle*

*twitch*

Good enough? Can I come out now?

If only someone were to wish me free…

I wish for more mods!

How much do you cost?

I just incapped Ronway playing as Expat with the SS Tachyon base power, I revealed Suckerpunch and she was the only 2HP target out, there's no may so Expat went down!

This sounds like a perfect reason for Silverleaf to don a hat.

Worst moment ever!

Haha!

I'm only at 208.

If I was to put on a hat now, where's my motivation for getting to 300?

If I'd played sensibly there's no way that Expat would have been down that low. But I blame Ronway.

This is a test to see if Christopher really does read every post.* Christopher, if you are reading this, prove it by posting something in different forum (not "Off Topic") that contains something that Unity made up that is way better than actual facts.

*Discalimer: I know he does, so, I will get this out of the way now, "Pydro, you're a jerk!"

*sigh* 

Didn’t you have fun? Shouldn’t that count for something?

We all have fun here. It is mandatory.

Hey, look! Your avatar is a male Wraith!

It's actually Guise...

shoot, that doesn't work anymore...

Gee, Brain, what do you want to do tonight?

Samething we do every night Pinky, go down to the gentleman's club and think about where our life went wrong.

I could never figure out which was the genius and which was insane...

We're all a little mad sometimes...

I could never figure out which was the genius and which was insane...

Huh.

Weird.

That came out exactly the same as last time...

Ah, a classic there Rabit.

Plague Rat just played 15 cards on his turn, needless to say we did not survive the round.

That's happened to me once. We were close to winning too. Freaking Shadowy Ambush.

If I have 5 apples, and Ronway takes 3 apples, how do I get them back?

It's not a guarentee, but offering chocolate in exhange might work. Ronway may end up taking all instead.

It involves a rubberband; a large, electric fan; a small, convex mirror; and a cup of tea (the tea doesn't actually matter).

And that guy's eye.

EDIT: Damnit, Ronway!

You don't need that guy's eye.

My answer involves sucker punching his character, so I already have your apples Pydro.

As I am to invent a time machine (per Ronway's recent revelation) I actually have already gone back in time and intend to plant the seeds from those apples to grow the tree that those self-same apples came from originally!

You're welcome to your delicious paradox apples, though you may find you collapse from hunger if you eat too many.

What about the leg?

Sucker Punch is discard fodder. Nobody would ever use Wrathful Gaze! Especially every turn!

Pydro, you have insulted Tachyon's deck. For your transgressions I fine you two apples.

Now you have none.

But I liked them apples!

Then you should have set a maths problem about bananas instead.

I have 5 bananas, and Matchstickman takes 3. How do I get them back?

Ah crappit!

I should have been typing in pirate all day today.

…

Yarr

Ye be asking him for them back, he be a hating on them thar yellowed fruits.

Cowaaaarrrrrds?

What did the pirate hit in golf?

Parrrrrrrrrrrrr!

*Bwah!*

Call the police! I'm surrounded by pirates!

At least one of them us a time-travelling pirate.

Has anyone ever read the classic novel A Tale of Two Ronways?

A tale? Ronway is too awesome just to have a single tale. Here you are trying to fit two Ronway's into a single tale, shame on you.

"It was the best of Ronway, it was the worst of Ronway."

Classic.

I prefer the novels of Ernest Hemmingronway.

"Fear and Ronway in Las Vegas," was alright, but I felt it was a bit overplayed.

Ronway and Juliet was my favourite, but only because Ronway is too involved with his Sentinels game to see that Juliet is in love with him, she fakes her own death and he doesn't even look up!

Worst part is Ronway finding out she doesn't even have incap abilities.

I really need someone to create Sentinels-themed clothing for the Sims 3.

Hmm. I was considering creating a Let's Play series for the Sims where I make short videos or photo albums or something, and basically crowd-source all the important decisions via some kind of poll or vote. I kind of want to Ronway this.

Like, here's Ronway Theawesome! He wants to become a career criminal. Should we let him do that, or force him to teach innocent children for a living? He wants to kiss his new lovely girlfriend - shall we indulge him or make him flirt with his boss instead? He needs to pee, should we lock the bathroom door so he's forced to wet himself?

Hours of fun, right?

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo....

Stuff

No, no, no...

Schtuph.

Stuff's overrated.

Oh wait, not it's not.

Waiting's overrated.

Last night we had two terrbile games of Sentinels of the Multiverse (terrible because we were stomped), first against Kismet. It was the first time I lost to Kismet in quite some time, so that was nice. We also had trouble flipping her thanks to the Environment's ability to keep flipping the Talisman back, so yeah...

The second match was against Cosmic Omnitron, who plays like 6 drones in a single turn, ouchies! Also, NightMist killed everybody! Woo!

Those Dark Watch.  So destructive to allied property.  Except Expatriette.  She just turns a blind eye to what her teammates are doing.

She's not a patch on her mother.

It's quieter than a quiet man's quiet bits in here tonight.

hello...?

Who said that?!

Did you know that Ronway has been struggling with knowing if he actually wants to have favorite heroes in Sentinels of the Multiverse? He's been thinking that the only reason he has favorite ones is due to the fact he cannot accept the fact that it's impossible to enjoy so many heroes equally.

What about least favorite?

There is no such thing as least favorite, they are all too awesome to be the least of anything. 

I don't know, that cursed Acolyte just seems kind of jerk.

He's my least favorite.

Bu the's not a hero, he's just some horrible turd of an individual who's part of Gloomy's cult so he doesn't even count...and I bet he smells funny too, hanging around with all those zombies, ick! ;)

I bet his mother's ashamed of him.

Wait.

Gloomweaver isn't a hero?

Mind Blown

It is.

The whole point of Gloomweaver's deck is to root out the traitorous Cultist and put those relics in the correct recycling bin.

Quiteness is sad.

44:30 is the interesting part for the Sentinel fans!

http://www.bleedingcool.com/2014/10/07/chris-claremont-on-why-x-men-writers-arent-allowed-to-create-new-characters-now/

Nerf AZ! :D

How did the turns play out for AZ in this instance?  

edit: I'm curious on it just because maybe I'm playing him wrong or haven't used some cards in the right way. 

First turn play was Cold Snap.

Second turn Cold Snap dealt damage to 1 damage to all non-hero targets. Played Focused Appertures.

Third Cold snap dealt 2 damage to all non-hero targets. Played Impale on Dawn.

Fourth and Fifth I am a little unsure of, but they consisted of playing another Impale and Hoarfire. So Dawn atleast took 5 each turn. She also took 3 from Hoarfire, the 2 was dealt to Autumn.

On the Sixth, Dawn took a total of 8 at the start, with all other non-hero targets taking 2. The card played was Thermal Shockwave.

Finally on the Seventh round, she still took 8 at the start, with all other non-hero targets taking the 2. With the play being Frostbound Drain dealing her 4 for the kill... So actually I guess Absolute Zero didn't deal himself any damage with Frostbound Drain.

Umm, I presume the "Final HP of Character" for Dawn shuoldn't be 80 ;).

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.........Ronway is sleeping.

Ronway never sleeps, he just slips unconscious for a few hours.

He's an elf?

He’s a Ronway.

Is that a type of elf?

It's a type of self.

A typo of self?

Yes

Glad we cleared that up.

I don't completely agree with the author (like some others), but it is an interesting read nonetheless. If you playtest any game, not just GtG stuff, this will make for an interesting read.

Hooray!

Just wanted to say that landing on a comet is just amazing. Look how far we have come!

It is insane what they did to pull that landing off.  I was obsessed with being an astronaut when I was in Kindergarten, knew about 20 constellations and could tell you shat shuttle was in space and their primary mission on any day.  I would get excited sitting in school knowing while I st there a shuttle was taking off or landing.

1986 was a rough year.  All I wanted for my Birthday was a telescope to see Haley's Comet with.  Then 3 days before my 7th birthday I watched the Challenger break up on TV.  Less than 2 weeks later the light pollution was too much for me and my little telescope to see the comet.

I was depressed at 7 years old.  I stopped caring about the math and science I was years ahead in, I found other things and never went back.

My daughter is going to turn 7 this February.  She has seen live feeds of Astronauts on a space station, and there has been a Mars landing and now a Comet.

A whole new generation connecting to the stars, it is a beautiful thing.

Then you're pretty close in age to me - I turned 7 in 1986 too, but in November. I have no memory of Challenger though, maybe we didn't see so much of it over here.

My older brother was born in 1986.

You young whippersnapper! My younger brother was born in 1985.

They interrupted kids TV to do news reports on it, it was covered pretty heavily over here.

Well that'll be it. I never watched much kids' TV until my brother was old enough to appreciate it. I was probably reading at the time, or doing something craft-shaped, or entertaining said brother.

It's funny. I was three when this happened. The Challenger explosion is one of my few memories from that time.

The Challenger explosion, along with the fall of the Berlin Wall and 9/11, is one of the few world events where I remember precisely where I was when I learned of it. 

I was 15. We had moved to Hong Kong just weeks before. I was going to a private school for the first time, and a Christian one at that – somewhat alarming, since I'm Jewish. It wasn't a particularly religious school as Christian schools go, seeing as how it was the only American school in Hong Kong and thus serving a quite diverse population, but there were required religion classes, including at least one bible study class. 

So, there I was in "What is religion?", surrounded by kids I hardly knew, living in a foreign country, when an announcement came over the PA that the shuttle had exploded. It was incredibly shocking. I think we had a TV wheeled in to see the newscasts and see the explosion. It seemed unbelievable. Before then my impression of the shuttle program was that it was boring. They seemed safe and routine. They did mission after mission, flew up into space, orbitted around a bit, then came home. I vaguely thought we were behind in our space program. What had we done lately? Why couldn't we go further out in the solar system?

I was six. I remember that they rolled a TV on one of those big carts into the classroom so that we could watch the launch. When things went south, it took us a little bit to understand that it wasn't supposed to happen. I think we just took our cues from the teachers to be sufficiently horrified until it really sunk in.

Yeah, it's interesting. There were a lot of kids in school that saw this, which is why it sticks In so many brains. Teachers were excited about Christa McAuliffe being onboard, so they wanted students to see. Sadly, that meant a lot of people saw horror instead.

I was born in '84 so I don't remember the Challenger disaster, but of course I've seen plenty of footage and stuff about it on documentaries. My dad is really interested in astronomy (and also technically contributed during the first Moon landing by working at one of the relay stations to bounce communications around the world from the Moon to NASA since he was in the Navy and happened to be working ashore in some place called Kranjii at the time), so he's been giving me regular updates on how the Rosetta mission thingy is going. It's really cool that the thing landed okay, even if it apparently "bounced" twice before managing to land properly :D. I haven't seen any of the pics yet, though.

So Ameena, your father is part of the great moon conspiracy, then?

When they landed it after the harpoons failed I was stunned.  It is just crazy that we accomplished that.

So apparently the forum software thinks I have nothing to contribute either, not even my presence!

That's interesting - we always sang it as:

That is interesting. This is the one that I heard:

Don't worry Pydro, I read every one of your post with a laugh track!

Hooray! The forum is changing!

Now all we need is for them to have different colors for each forum, and we are set.

Oh no! It's so confusing! I don't even know where to click anymore.

Edit: I wonder who is going to move all the threads over... And How empty General Discussion will be after.

I feel so bad for the General.

There is not a full-scale migration planned. That's way too much effort, and I'm laaaaaazy.

I've got free time, so if you were to... I don't know, bump me up to a moderator, I could sort it out...

OMGFATEYESNO!

It seems Silverleaf agrees.  I read OMG FATE YES and them some gibberish.

OMG FAT EYES NO!

I read some gibberish and then YES and NO.

Stalemate detected. Moderator promotion procedure cannot continue unless a stalemate associate is present to press the stalemate resolution button.

I would but you might've booby trapped it - Step Five of your plan, I believe?

Don’t be silly. Step five is profit.

Yeah, I got that.  Just thought my interpretation was more fun.

Actually, I think Pydro was chiming in with his own vote on the matter…

Don't worry folks! I do not live in Indianapolis.

I don't anymore either.

You're also no longer a moderator.

This has totally come full circle. Originally I expressed my excitement at a proposed RPG - OMG FATE YES! With the words run together as OMGFATEYES I immetiately laughed myself stupid because I couldn't unsee OMG FAT EYES.

I've been using OMGFATEYES as a generic expression of agreement or approval ever since, even in meatspace.

And now it's been interpreted as the original OMG FATE YES.

Awesome.

As someone who remembers the origins, I was very amused.

Do doo be-do-do

So, Ronway, can you give us some insights into what it is like to be Ronway? Are you Ronway all the time? Have you ever considered anything else? What does your family think?

This made me smile: Star-Lord and Captain America Super Bowl bet.

Being Ronway is like being the friend that everybody hates, but for some reason they never want to actually kick the friend out of the group. I find it quite enjoyable that people who have joined the G+ games have asked about the hate against Ronway, it's even more fun when I am there when they ask about it. I've been tempted to disappear for awhile just to see how long the Ronway things carry on in my absence, but I am so hooked on reading all the post here that I am unable to bring myself to do such a thing.

I'm Ronway all the time! My family loves it. Ronway has become a family name! Our last Router was named Ronway. The Maplestory character you see in my avatar is RonnieRonway, who would team up with my father, who went by the name of DaddyRonway. I just hope my son will carry on the Ronway name into the internet!

I am Ronway and I have no intention of being anything else! You folks are stuck with me!

So you're saying you were thinking you could Ron-away?

Nah, I think he's just giving us the Ronaround.

It’s 4:15, why are you still up?

It's 12:25, why aren't you at work?

It's 6:47, do you know where your Ronway is?

Getting ready to play Town of Salem.

It's [any time], why are you not playing a >G product?

Because I am on the forums.

That doesn't stop you from doing both

I am not that talented.

I really have nothing to say (which is the point of the thread), I just wanted to quote this for all time!

As a Mod, that doesn't really stop me from deleting it.

Changing the topic entirely; I tweeted for the first time today, I thought it was a peso crap before I tried it, now I think my grand experiment was a success!

You said you were never going on Twitter. You're obviously a lire.

Change always seems bad at first, but you get used to it after a while. That's my two yen on the subject anyway.

Does anyone else see a "1 new" on the main forum page under "Game Specific Discussions/Sentinels of the Multiverse" when there's nothing new in that forum?

I can't get rid of the bloody thing, not with any of the forum tools. And I can't even find the thread in the list that it says is the last post in that forum (grysqrl posting in the "Computer game poll - Promos for purchase" thread).

Unless it's just me, methinks something went all wobbly in the great forum reorg of '15

I see it as well.

I have that problem sometimes.

I'm getting the "new posts that won't go away even though there actually aren't any because I already marked them as read" thing with the Tactics section, but as I never read those anyway it's just a minor annoyance than anything else.

Probably want to post that kind of thing in the Website Update thread.

Of course, that's assuming you meant to post this here, because if you actually tried to post it somewhere else… Well, we have a bigger issue.

Oh, right, since it has an on destruction effect, the thread is still in play.

The thread's on destruction text involves Ronway wearing pants, so we are probably pretty safe for a while.

Oh Yeah!   Well, you fight like a cow!

I hate Mondays.

I'm with Ronway - Mondays are the worst.

It's amazing you learned how to shave without using a mirror.

It’s 7:18, do you know where your Ronway is?

Oh no, I am in a weakened state, thanks to the recent removal of my mighty chops. With only 20% of my remaining power, I must go into hiding and my body double will be here in my place.

Pics or it didn’t happen.

Does the double wear pants?

It wears twice as many pants as Ronway usually wears.

So, none?

Perhaps he does wear pants, but only when no one is looking?

I thought the purpose of the double was to go where only those with pants could go.

So, I was playing Depth and I was the last person alive on my team. So the two opposing sharks decided to toy with me! It was quite a scary experience, as I had no idea when they would actually attack.

Ha, I saw that Depth being played on the Yogscast a few months back. The vids were quite funny. It's not the kind of game I'd be likely to buy myself, though.

I was so bored I just reread this whole thread.

Also I was procrastinating.

From...

Russia with Love?

*ding* *ding* *ding* We have a........procrastinator!

It's my superhero name.

I was going to save those people from that runaway stage coach... but I'll get to it later

I used to think I was indecisive, but now I am not so sure.

My doctor wants to put me on tablets because I suffer from paranoia but the man following me said I didn't need them.

Rejoice everyone!

Ronway just confirmed that Handelabra will be releasing the Rook City update at midnight tonight.

So everyone be sure to message Ronway every minute after midnight that you are still waiting, I know I will be!

I recently realized that The Sentinels are put into play alphabetically. Prior to this realization, I thought they were put into play in the order they joined the team.

I always put them into play as Mainstay, Dr. Medico. Writhe, Idealist.

I usually do idealist, Dr. Medico, Writhe, Mainstay. Because that was the order that the cards came in when I got their deck, so it's just been the way I use them

I always put them in the order that I put them in. Unless I don't.

I was refering to the order that is on the set-up card, which is how I do it.

People actually pay attention to that after the first time? Thats news to me

Why is it called sticky if sticks aren’t sticky?

Is that the indication that we are getting too on topic for the off topic forum?

Maybe because porcupines eat sticks, and you can use porcupine quills to skewer things together?

Well, it's easy to see how 'sticky' is related to 'stuck', and how 'stuck' is related to 'stick' (verb).  And it makes sense for 'stick' (verb) to be related to 'stick' (noun), since some of the earliest tools were sticks used to stick animals.

So 'sticky' is related to 'stick' by way of 'stick' and 'stuck'

Sometimes sticks are sticky, like with sap.

i don’t think that is right

So, what is everybody's side on muffins vs. cupcakes? I'm personally on the muffin side

I'm a personal fan of the cuffin...it is the fusion of a muffin and cupcake, and gets the best of both choices!

Man was not meant to play god, this is science bakery gone mad!

Why has no one linked to this video yet? Is this whole forum dead inside?

From the sea came a little old man

and he took his first step on dry land

He walked up to a tree

and said "Deary me!"

I should have turned left at Afghanistan!

Yay!

No one started an Avengers 2 thread yet?

Fine, I'll do it myself.

First of all, I had the beautiful rock hair.

*chirp chirp*

Anyone else hear crickets?

What is Mr. Chomps first name?

Chompy?

Maybe his first name Is actually "Mr."

Rufus

No, his first name is Snickerdoodle. His middle name is Mr.

I always thought Mega Computer was his middle name, it's a family name.

Today I have been to a magical place and seen beasts that are fabled through out the lands... I went to a farm where they had Alpacas!

I would post photos of those mighty beasts but I can't find the cable that would connect my photo device to my computer, curse you technology!

It was my friend's birthday, so we went to a pub and played games with some friends and some people I don't know very well. There was pizza and cake and cider and beer, and then we talked nonsense for hours.

Awesome day.

Aaw cool, alpacas are cute :D.

5 more users until we have 12345 people on here!

I wonder how many of them have actually posted.  

Two.

Everyone other than you is Ronway.

Thanks for answer Ronway!

I am not Ronway. I am wearing pants.

Sorry, I forgot about you.

Two users and one split personality that thinks it isn't Ronway (and is wearing pants).

Damn it, Matchstickman!

Dang... I thought I got rid of all other Ronways. Looks like it's time to start the beheadings again. After all, there can only be one.

Won’t that just create a lot of zombie Ronways?

That's how I fill my moat.

Today we collectively decide what colour the official UK merchandise should be. Right now it's looking like mostly blue, with some other minor colours.

I hope to the Multiverse gods it's not purple.

Purple is my favourite colour - but not that purple. I don't want the merchandise to be purple. Or blue, for that matter, but definitely not purple.

Official UK merchandise? Are we selling our own country now? ;)

I mean, like Tshirts and mugs and those fuzzy things you get in museum gift shops with googly eyes and adhesive feet with a ribbon attached that says "I've visited Hunstanton Spice Museum!"*

*Not a real place.

Looks like blue. Gods, I do hate blue.

Yep. Crappy old blue again. Stupid people. 

Sad about blue? Well, I guess that’s correct.

I prefer green, but I would have been perfectly happy to settle for red.

Is it sad about blue or blue about sad? 

I get so confused...

I get sad about blue. But usually the blue I get sad about is when I'm first in Mario KArt

Lol!  Too true!

Or red AND green, together. Like Christmas!

I'd settle for a new spectrum entirely.

I'm bored, anyone want to play hangman?

We interrupt your game to bring you pictures of Alpacas!

Their names were Licorice, Humbug and Minto

How dare you.

I dare because I am mighty, and because I said I would a week ago, my Fabled Aplacas were promised long before the game started.

But now I will guess A (for Alpaca).

Checmical Explosion

Yep!

*explodes*

How much damage do we take?

H Silverleaf damage to all targets.

I don't believe Silverleaf has the Vat keyword so just the 3 points.

EDIT: Curses! Ninja-ed by a Silverleaf,  is currently 12360 on this forum so I think we are all dead.

Life lesson: don't make THE Silverleaf explode.

Hmm. I wonder what keywords THE Silverleaf does have?

Awesome?

Hatless

Hmmmm…THE Silverleaf seems to be the first British royalty without a hat.

I guess when I flip I'll lose Hatless.

If at the start of the Silverleaf's turn, Silverleaf is wearing a hat, she flips to her "Begrudging Hat Wearer" side.

This made me chuckle…

Today I got sent for an interview for a driving position even though I told the people doing so that I could not drive… bureaucracy 

Also today I named June 21st as Squiggle-con '15

Meh, Squiggle con's been a bit too mainstream lately. I'm more excited for the upcoming Scribble con.

I think I might have to have SilverleafCon on the same day.

Silverleaf hasn't been relevant in days. I'm not sure how many people are actually going to want to go that con.

Well I'm probably going. I'm not one to run with the crowd.

But would you Blend Into the Pack?

You obviously haven't been to the secret back room at Squiggle Con. Missing all the fun.

Are you referring to the underground SOTM ring I've heard so much about?

I totally would at SilverleafCon.

I’m not down yet I still have about 309,490,333.14159 hp left.

Quick edit whenever the villain does H to all heroes I get to do it back we win.

The first rule of bare-knuckle SotM is…

... No gloves?

Only your bloody knuckles.

If it's in the UK, I'm game. Stupid American Squiggle Con…

Hey!

That's no way to refer to the guest of honour at Squiggle Con (happening at the Railway Tavern, Liverpool Street, London, UK, Not America, Earth).

Cleaning out my hard drive and I found a snippet of a conversation I had with Ronway related to when Sejixs' award winning picture was first posted.

Me: They stared longingly into each other's eyes, the flames of their firey burning passion visible for all to see…

Ronway: No, just no

Me: Siege-Breaker "I am here to break you acolyte, to break the curse of your loneliness"

Ronway: Sigh…

Me: Hey, you're the one who changed his avatar

Ronway: You're the one making it into teenage girl's fan fiction

Me: My interpretation of why they are looking into each other's eyes is just as valid as yours. And how can I not with the great chemistry between you and Pydro?

Ever finish that story?

I'm not sure the world is ready for that story to be finished....

come on, you knew it was coming

Cosmonautilus?

The Child.

The Center

So who's in charge now that Christopher and Craig are off, do we have a Community Underlord?

One of the mods?

1 mod =/= a Kregg

The mods with their powers combined?

Craig is off even when he's here. Why should things be different?

I'm glad someone else said this…

Wisdom! Courage! Knowledge! Pedantry! Free Time!

By your powers combined I'm Captain Modder.

Captain Modder, he's our hero

Reducing bad behavior down to zero

The Power isn't yours.

That should be the signature of the mods from now on.  

I finally caused a thread to split. I feel like I've entered a prestigious club.

Frankly, I'm surpised they waited as long as they did.  

We got too off topic for the off topic thread in the off topic forum?

Actually, you got too on-topic. Over 50 straight posts on the same topic.

I think the power to split threads just went to someone's head...

Just?

Just as in "it is not a complex explanation", not just as in "at this particular moment".

Either way, I conceded that you are not a horrible mutant and have a head, be grateful for small concessions.

I don't know. A figurative head for power to rush to is VERY different to an actual head.

Yeah, well, like that's just your opinion man.
