Castaras' Random Banter #173: Bringing Back All Your Nostalgic Great Old Ones

[Castaras]

Random Banter! There's banter. It's random. Ta da!! *jazz hands*

Please leave your soul by the door, put up your feet, and enjoy a relaxing conversation with crazy people. :smallbiggrin:

Rules and such:
1. Spam. For the purposes of RB, one word posts are generally considered spam. Likewise, posts that are nothing but *actions like this* are also be considered spam. Remember that the quality of the post's content is much better than the speed of your response.

2. This isn't the Play by Post or Town forum, nor is it the Silly Message Board Games or Structured Games forum. Please avoid continuous roleplay or mock battles and fights such as the "competition for control of the universe".

3. If it's already a thread, don't bring it to RB. RB has such a huge range of subject matter even restricted to the little snippets that probably don't warrant their own thread, it doesn't need legitimate thread topics cluttering it up as well. The exception to this is to bring something that is off-topic from one thread, but on-topic for RB and the subject doesn't warrant a thread of its own.

4. Don't advertise other threads in RB. Just because these new threads move at speeds more appropriate to a message board than an IM session doesn't mean you need to come over to RB and brow beat people into posting in your latest brainchild.

5. Please don't post single line posts alerting us to your current status -- as in "I'm back." This is Random Banter, not "How to stalk Random GitP forum members."

6. Don't poke, kick or bump the thread. It will move at whatever pace it wants to. Also, please refrain from Captain Obvious comments akin to "My, the thread is fast today."

7. Random Banter can only be as good, or as entertaining, as you make it. Demands to be entertained will fall on deaf ears unless you can add something more meaningful to the conversation.

8. As this is a public forum, where the current topic is nicely recorded for you, and not a conversation where you could have missed the beginning, please refrain from asking something to the effect of "What's the topic?". Please take the time to read up a bit first.

9. Thread Creator must include the words "Random" and "Banter" as well as the thread #. Try to be concise as well.

10. Every post should contain two visible, legible complete sentences, Subject and Predicate. C'mon, make your old English teachers proud.

11. Remember, Random Banter is not your IM client. If you want to have a back and forth discussion with just one person, look in their contact information for IM details.

12. Whenever a new thread is created, all "first post", "first page", and all posts of that nature will be deleted by the administrators. Please avoid doing this, as it is frustrating for them to deal with one-lined posts like this.

13. Double-posting is not your friend. We have edit buttons for a reason.

14. Once you have made a Random Banter thread, you must wait 50 threads before making another one.

15. If you can avoid dibs calling on making the next thread, that will avoid people needing to wait if the thread hits 50 pages while the dibs-caller is asleep.

99 threads ago I created random banter thread #74... :smalleek: Bloomin' 'eck.

[Feytalist]

O hai thar, new thread.

I'm going home, now.

[smellie_hippie]

Just wanted to rant about having to wait for approval for Supervisory training, and thus having to wait before I can purchase tickets for Flogging Molly the night before my training.

Waiting sucks! :smallfurious:

[KuReshtin]

Do I really have to leave my soul at the door?
Would it be ok if I left someone else's soul by the door. I don't like the idea of me forgetting mine when I leave, and then not finding it again.

I mean, I have a few spare ones...

[Thufir]

I'm pretty sure I officially bequeathed my soul to Curly as part of the whole High Priest deal, so I don't have anything to leave. Can I talk to the crazy people anyway?

[Castaras]

The leaving of souls was a precaution. If you don't have one, then you will most likely be immune to the effects that a Random Banter may cause1.

1. Not a 100% guarantee. All complaints should have been handed in in triplicate three weeks ago.

[Qwertystop]

Okay, here's the {TABLE]~|`[/TABLE] key's soul. I never use that one anyway.

[Dvil]

I would leave my soul, but I put it down as a deposit for my January exams. If I survive until the end, I get it back. For now.

Just one more to go...

That is a completely unaccurate statement. I have a soul, and i brought here all the time before. Not my fault it warped the other people instead.

Hey everyone guess who's back...

I'm sorry, I couldn't resist (besides, I've been back a while). Hey everyone. How's everyone doing?


I've always wondered Curly, how DID you get your god hood anyway?

I assume it's because of her immense skill with literature, although she's had it at least since I first started in 2008.

[Teddy]

I'm designing a computer game. (God DAMN am I doing too much AT THE SAME TIME.) It's going to be a Civilization-inspired game about pushing the frontier with a lot more focus on survival than expansion and warfare. I'm not disclosing any details at this stage (not that there is much established at this early point, but still), but I'm aiming to keep up the joy of exploration that I feel in the start of the Civ games while battling what I find the most tedious with them, namely the way (over)expansion slows down the game toward the end.

I'm currently trying to write down all of my ideas and structure them in some way. I'm a lot better at analysing structures than writing them, mind you, so it's taking some time, but time isn't exactly a premium to me, so I'll let it take the time it takes. It's not like I possess the programming skills required to write the code yet. :smallwink:

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

First couple of posts in this thread sure are a blast to the past.

Aye, I missed Flogging Molly this autumn, which really annoyed me, but luckily they swing by basically every year, so I'll catch them next time, mark my words.

Also slightly annoyed by not being able to buy Dropkick Murphys tickets until I know whether my play that night is going to be the first of the night, or not. If the play isn't first, than I'm not going to be able to make it, but if we ARE first, then I'll be able to zoom over there with a taxi in time.

As an aside, did you get the due dates I asigned to you?

[Coidzor]

I've always wondered Curly, how DID you get your god hood anyway?

Well, back in the day when the stones were young and all the animals spoke as one, godhood was something open to anyone who demonstrated sufficient embodiment of ideals and skill. Was like Apotheosis Clearinghouse. Though there's only a couple that I can still recall, and most of them are either Koorly wearing different masks or the Modgoddess of Pudding.

Well, you know, in the midst of my needlessly criptic ramblings to cover up my own senilityfuzzy memories of yore. But even then I came in on the tail end of things. I think you'd need to consult with the forbidden knowledge of the Elder Mods to get a full accounting of it, and when they are in the mood to talk, their utterances can drive men mad with their riddles. No idea about their effect on women though. I imagine the pictures of cute animals doing silly things might be a bit of a distraction for both sexes though.


And nope! :smallbiggrin:

Ah, well, good I caught that then! It's a bit of a costume party and guests get to wear these really nifty toga costumes for their first time. :smallwink:

I believe you're thinking of Amiria, who, if I am recalling the Book of Armaments correctly, is the Countess of Misspelling and/or Misspelling. She may or may not be like a fiendish noble and possess some kind of pseudo divine rank. Never really studied her in depth...

There's some as say that in the bowels of SMBG, the Countess can still be found on moonless nights at the crossroads and turnabouts and roundabouts. A brave, foolish, or very cunning person may even be able to consult her for her wisdom.

Yeah, I never considered that something sad to know word for word. I've hardly even read the mythos and I know it.

Yes, and I can safely tell you that I won't get close to that mark. Halve the amount or double the time, and it might be more reasonable...


"That does not sleep which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons even death may die." How sad is it that I knew that without having to look it up? :smallwink:

"That is not dead" and not "That does not sleep", but otherwise (yes, I know it by heart as well).

Fun fact: if you type "that is" into Google, that phrase will be the second suggestion (or at least it is for me).

That is a very interesting and epic tale, which I haven't finished writing yet.

Was like Apotheosis Clearinghouse. Though there's only a couple that I can still recall, and most of them are either Koorly wearing different masks or the Modgoddess of Pudding.

That's still kind of the case. Proclaiming ourselves to be deities is a common enough occurrence in RB even now. Curly's just special because she has been consistently proclaimed a Goddess by other people as well.


Really, I don't think anybody on this board can feel 'nerdy'. We're all nerds here.

So? Just because everyone else is doing it doesn't mean you can't. Unless you're too big a hipster.

Edit @^: They stab each other. That's basically the extent of the thing, but it's gone on long enough to be a significant feud (But not the feud though, that's different).

It is pretty interesting to see an entire group of older RBers come out of nowhere at the same time. Almost like you never left.

It happens erratically. Although when it does happen it normally does occur within the first few pages of a new RB.
Me, I think seeing Cassie's name in the title made it happen.


I've always wondered Curly, how DID you get your god hood anyway?

I -
. . .
It -
You know. I'm entirely sure any more.
I do know that it was because people couldn't get over how much I knew about literature/English/languages in general, and there was the common misconception that I was around twenty years old.
Five years ago.
Oh Gods.
I'm coming up for my fifth birthday.
Anyway.
I think I was just generally proclaimed a Goddess and people ran with it. But Alarra was a Goddess long before I was.

Um, I'm remembering something vaguely about Misspelling? No, that was her username, not her goddess-ness...

I know.
DD was a God, Cassie too, Helgraf? Perhaps. Hippie most likely was. Thufir, Archie . . .
Senility. It approaches.
And Amiria was the Countess of Misspelling. But she was a Goddess.

*nods his approval* :smallamused:

*nods acceptingly :smallsigh:... but then denies vehemently* :smallfurious:

Old only by comparison!
Note I called myself Old too even though I'm younger than you and all of my Old Crowd. We had the best old crowd . . .
Anyone else remember when ER and Andre posted semi-frequently in RB? Or Shadow? Or Llama?


Well, you know, in the midst of my needlessly criptic ramblings to cover up my own senilityfuzzy memories of yore. But even then I came in on the tail end of things. I think you'd need to consult with the forbidden knowledge of the Elder Mods to get a full accounting of it, and when they are in the mood to talk, their utterances can drive men mad with their riddles. No idea about their effect on women though. I imagine the pictures of cute animals doing silly things might be a bit of a distraction for both sexes though.

Doesn't affect us. See, women are strange and mysterious creatures whose ambitions, desires and thoughts are unknown to all men and Elder Mods (bar the female ones), and so they do nothing, for our brains are not the brains of ordinary men.


I believe you're thinking of Amiria, who, if I am recalling the Book of Armaments correctly, is the Countess of Misspelling and/or Misspelling. She may or may not be like a fiendish noble and possess some kind of pseudo divine rank. Never really studied her in depth...

She's a very lovely person. If I remember correctly she had a sort-of tiff going on with DD. Not like the feud or even the spat I have with Zar Peter, but it was something.
Or was it with caw?


Speak for yourself, I feel nerdy and it's an awesomely wonderful feeling. :smallbiggrin:

And wow, lots of old timers. o.o soooo much nostalgia!!

Even discounting people who've been banned, it's not properly the Old Crowd until we see Jibbers (He is the proverbial singing fat lady of Old Crowd returns).

Jibbers is as old as the Playground itself.


Edit @^: They stab each other. That's basically the extent of the thing, but it's gone on long enough to be a significant feud (But not the feud though, that's different).

How long's that thing been going on anyway? It was a well-known feud even when I was a wee little Curly.
I'd say though that the Stabby Thing between Archie and Hippie is more successful because Archie's actually stabbed Hippie twice. For mostly reals.

EDIT:
This has been a Nostalgia-post, filled to the brim with pure, condensed NostalgiaTM. And I bet nearly everyone else is confused by all of it.

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

Edit: Wait, this isn't helping my "not-being-an-oldtimer" case...

I mean, who's ER? Who's Llama? Who's Shadow? I have no clue who you're talking about.

I CAN'T BE AN OLD-TIMER, I'M NOT EVEN OF AGE YET :smallfurious::smallfurious::smallfurious:

[Moff Chumley]

Random Banter, let me bring a debacle to your collective attentions.

Me an' Gwynny find ourselves unable to settle which of us is less of an old-timer. I, of course, am aware that I have minimal old-timer credentials, whereas Gwyn hasn't a leg to stand on. But I'm sure we'd both appreciate any third-party observations.

[CurlyKitGirl]

Thank you! And don't worry, you're only as old a you feel. I'm ALMOST 20 MYSELF, so I do feel kinda old myself some times.

I was sixteen! I took an impromptu poll one time in RB about two or three years ago (I can't remember exactly but it was after Coidzor had joined) and a couple people estimated my age to be mid-twenties to . . .I think the oldest was twenty-nine.
To sum up:
I look about fifteen, but with minor effort can look younger still; my mental (including emotional, intellectual, psychological, social etc. aspects) seems to be mid-twenties, and in actuality I turn twenty-one in March.
Not bad really. Six year leeway either side of my actual age.
I was a bit more miffed when I was sixteen or seventeen and people were thinking I was between five and ten years older than I was.
Okay, I lie. Amused and oddly flattered more than anything.


I remember all those people. Where do all these people go... :smallconfused::smallfrown:

A few left, some got banned, others migrated to other subfora. It makes me miss what we once had sometimes.
[Insert a mildly complex, pseudo-philosophical musing about the Playground being a metaphor for life etc. etc. here]

I have always faithfully represented my constituents, providing them with sundaes and milkshakes. I vow that not only will everyone who votes for me get a chocolate milkshake, it will have...

MALT!

[Moff Chumley]

Malty promises or no malty promises, I've seen your quesadillas, Gwyn. Prepackaged mexican cheese blend? One tortilla? Mere centimeters thick? Under a Chumley administration, all quesadillas will be crafted from at least two tortillas, using at least eight ounces of the finest imported Oaxaca!

Chumley 2012, y'all heard it here first.

[AtlanteanTroll]

Chumley 2012, y'all heard it here first.

I don't think you're 35.

[Eruantion]

Random Banter, let me bring a debacle to your collective attentions.

Me an' Gwynny find ourselves unable to settle which of us is less of an old-timer. I, of course, am aware that I have minimal old-timer credentials, whereas Gwyn hasn't a leg to stand on. But I'm sure we'd both appreciate any third-party observations.

I'd say you're less of an old timer, but that's only because Gwyn still frequents the thread. He doesn't seem like an old timer, though, but maybe that's because I know how old he is.

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

The quesadilla, friends, is a ploy to take your attention from the REAL issue at hand.

For too long has the humble crayfish lived in the shadow of it's larger brothers, the crab and the lobster. I PROPOSE that this sad, sad state of affairs change. THE CRAYFISH WILL HAVE IT'S DAY.

Mind you, soft-shelled crab cooked salt'n'pepper style, deep fried, chinese deliciousness, it gets special exemption from the proposed legislation.

Eru, have you truly been swayed away from the true cause? I'll have you know that Chumley is no older than I! I'll have you know that Chumley
*whispers conspiratorially*
(... has a hipster band)

*GAAAAAAAAAAASP*

... actually, seriously though, check out his band. Chumley, have you posted a link in the playground somewhere?

:confused:

[Moff Chumley]

Indeed I am in a band, and indeed we did just release an album, available for your listening or purchasing pleasure here (http://handshake.bandcamp.com/). However! Although Gwyn is mere months younger than me, he has nearly two thousand more posts to his name, and is far more active in this thread, as Eru so precisely noted. Unless I fail math forever; I'm fairly sure I scraped a C- in calculus but I'd have to check.

And checking anything that has to do with calculus is simply not something I am or ever have been willing to do. Which explains my use of the verb "scrape".


I don't think you're 35.

Who said I was campaigning for president? It's those County Water Board positions that hold real power.

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

Flautas con Queso Fresco > Quesadillas. I stand by my principles, whether it wins me the vote or not.

I, on the other hand, understand calculus perfectly well. I just choose not to use it, because I do not LIKE it.

[Moff Chumley]

Flautas con Queso Fresco > Quesadillas. I stand by my principles, whether it wins me the vote or not.

Aww, now that's just straight-up heresy. The quesadilla is the highest and purest vehicle for cheese consumption known to modern gastronomical science.

I dunno, flautas are nice and fried and crispy. Also, if we've completely thrown whatever sort of campaign you had out the window, I'd like to say that horchatas and churros are some of the finest foodstuffs to cross my palate.

[AtlanteanTroll]

Of course!

Indeed.

Re: Crayfish. Make it tempura, and I will do just about anything you want.

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

Oooooh, Churros are also reallyreallyreally good!

buuuuut, not with cheese. y chocolate, yes, y queso? I'll pass.

I'm likely pronouncing it wrong, but Flautas looks lik Flatus. Why would you want to eat a food that is called like farts man!

Additionaly, Quesadilla are better. I'm going to have two full ones for my birthdaaaaay.

[tyckspoon]

Aww, now that's just straight-up heresy. The quesadilla is the highest and purest vehicle for cheese consumption known to modern gastronomical science.

This is categorically untrue, because the chupaqueso exists. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbD70Ljb6fI)

(Apologies for the shakycam video. For those who can't be bothered to watch it or don't read Schlock Mercenary, a chupaqueso is a concoction of melted cheese+fillings served inside a shell of other cheese fried into a crispy cheese-tortilla-pancake-thingy.)

[Eruantion]

Oooooh, Churros are also reallyreallyreally good!

buuuuut, not with cheese. y chocolate, yes, y queso? I'll pass.

I've never had cheese churros, but I have had them with strawberries. Did I mention horchatas? A good horchata is certainly my favorite drink.

[Madmal]

Good Heavens.
Suddenly a Great Old Playgrounder makes an RB and the entire Old Crowd comes back.

I approve this.

Ooooooo...We're rising from our graves...and now you'll have to endure long rants about how old town was better, camp werewolf and the first GB weeeeeek...... so get to it and sit, you whippersnappers.

Just not on the lawn. Get off it.


*is counted with a good old crowd* :smallbiggrin:

*nods his approval* :smallamused:

*does a double take about being called old* :smallconfused:

*nods acceptingly :smallsigh:... but then denies vehemently* :smallfurious:

Eh, he's older than me anyways. :smallcool:


It happens erratically. Although when it does happen it normally does occur within the first few pages of a new RB.
Me, I think seeing Cassie's name in the title made it happen.


Old only by comparison!
Note I called myself Old too even though I'm younger than you and all of my Old Crowd. We had the best old crowd . . .
Anyone else remember when ER and Andre posted semi-frequently in RB? Or Shadow? Or Llama?


Doesn't affect us. See, women are strange and mysterious creatures whose ambitions, desires and thoughts are unknown to all men and Elder Mods (bar the female ones), and so they do nothing, for our brains are not the brains of ordinary men.


It's even worse, most of the old crowd is not even on msn anymore. At least the times i get in. Stupid Intership job at the National Library and last year of college, and thesis, and stuff...

High-nose, much? we may need dynamite to tear down that pillar...:smallamused:

[Thufir]

I'm exempted from the old-guard, as I wasn't active until mid-2007 or 2008.

Still older guard than me.


How long's that thing been going on anyway? It was a well-known feud even when I was a wee little Curly.
I'd say though that the Stabby Thing between Archie and Hippie is more successful because Archie's actually stabbed Hippie twice. For mostly reals.

Also because they're both still around. Whereas the feud had pretty much died due to the absence of Jaspero before I even joined the Playground.
Who was the other person in the feud? I can't remember.


EDIT:
This has been a Nostalgia-post, filled to the brim with pure, condensed NostalgiaTM. And I bet nearly everyone else is confused by all of it.

Nostalgia is good stuff (Oh man, if the moods they sold in the New New York slums included Nostalgia, I could get so hooked on that). I should blog about it. *Adds to the ever-increasing list*
...actually, hang on. I can remove some of these from the list, because I've actually written the posts! Awesome. Also a couple because it's long past the time at which they were relevant. Less awesome.


I'm ALMOST 20 MYSELF, so I do feel kinda old myself some times.

Whippersnapper.


I was sixteen! I took an impromptu poll one time in RB about two or three years ago (I can't remember exactly but it was after Coidzor had joined) and a couple people estimated my age to be mid-twenties to . . .I think the oldest was twenty-nine.

I remember that! Or possibly you've done it more than once, age being a common topic here (Time Loop, blah even blah sentence blah repeated blah).
Of course I mainly remember being utterly bewildered at how people could think you were that old when you talked about being in sixth form all the time.


A few left, some got banned, others migrated to other subfora. It makes me miss what we once had sometimes.

:smallfrown: I miss so many people.
Well, some people anyway. It feels like a lot, btu that may be more the amount of missing than the amount of people.


I'd say you're less of an old timer, but that's only because Gwyn still frequents the thread. He doesn't seem like an old timer, though, but maybe that's because I know how old he is.

I'd say still frequenting the thread should make him less of an old-timer. the old-timers are more often the ones who just come out of the woodwork two or three times a year and otherwise vanish.


And checking anything that has to do with calculus is simply not something I am or ever have been willing to do.


I, on the other hand, understand calculus perfectly well. I just choose not to use it, because I do not LIKE it.

Well, you both just lost my vote, unless you can do something astounding to make up for this tremendous failing on your respective parts.

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

Eh, history, languages, and the arts are where my interests lie.

But see, I was never in the woodwork to begin with. As it were.


Well, you both just lost my vote, unless you can do something astounding to make up for this tremendous failing on your respective parts.
I got a high 4 (out of 5) on the AP calculus exam as a junior, which no one at my school's done in around a decade. Without knowing how to do calculus. I don't know what that counts for, but it's got to count for something. :smalltongue:

That's what I'm trying to say, though. Even though Moff is still a frequent forum-goer, he seems like an old-timer because he stays off of RB for the most part. Gwyn sticks around, so he's not really an old timer despite the amount of time he has been on the forum.

[Mutant Sheep]

Gwyn? He's many, many things. :smallmad::smallwink: Corruptor of the pure, straight up G, A, alphabetlike... the list goes on. :smallbiggrin: (Hes also way cooler than you Oldi-wans. I recognize his name as a person, not as Jedism in A New Hope.:smalltongue: )

[Tragic_Comedian]

I wonder if I turn my clock back, I'll be able to read Wikipedia again.

[LaZodiac]

In Troll Logic, that is infact possible Tragic.

In real life logic, no.

[Tragic_Comedian]

Yeah, well, I just tried and it didn't work.

[LaZodiac]

Glad you did, because as certain as I was, I wasn't 100% sure. Hooray for science!

[Rawhide]

I wonder if I turn my clock back, I'll be able to read Wikipedia again.

NoScript! addon for Firefox works.

[Tragic_Comedian]

NoScript! addon for Firefox works.
Thanks man! Is there a way I can take it off later?

[Eruantion]

I wonder if I turn my clock back, I'll be able to read Wikipedia again.

Yeah, as much as I [cannot discuss this topic], it would be nice to be able to read wikipedia articles. TV tropes is still up though.

[Tragic_Comedian]

Hey guys. I'm reading Wikipedia.

[Rawhide]

Thanks man! Is there a way I can take it off later?

NoScript! is a highly useful addon for Firefox. I would strongly recommend you keep it after it's no longer needed for this. By default, it will block every script as you load a page (you can set it to the reverse behaviour, to only block what you specifically block), you can then selectively allow webpages to run scripts (or even which scripts they can run). It protects you from a lot of malicious websites and other annoying scripts.

That said, you can disable NoScript! entirely or simply uninstall it when finished.

[Tragic_Comedian]

Thank you, once again.

[Feytalist]

Who was the other person in the feud? I can't remember.

Blackfox. And he's still around.

It's not weird that I know this, but it might be weird that I remember this.

I was on here, many moons ago (roughly 2006). But then:

1) University happened.
2) I forgot my password.
3) I forgot my username.

And I only really posted like 5 posts. So I guess that makes me faux-Old Guard (Fauxld Guard?) :smallbiggrin:

[Coidzor]

...My dog is licking my pants. This is most uncomfortable and confusing. :smallconfused:


Togas? Cool XP

Also, how short ARE they? I likely wouldn't mind anyway, it'd be like wearing a small blanket!

Well, they're about knee length on the usual sacri-party guests, so I'd say mid-thigh, maybe mid upper thigh?


I was sixteen! I took an impromptu poll one time in RB about two or three years ago (I can't remember exactly but it was after Coidzor had joined) and a couple people estimated my age to be mid-twenties to . . .I think the oldest was twenty-nine.


*shuffles feet* I can't help but feel vaguely responsible now...

Mostly because I can't even remember when I joined or how or why. :smalleek:

[Jibar]

Even discounting people who've been banned, it's not properly the Old Crowd until we see Jibbers (He is the proverbial singing fat lady of Old Crowd returns).

Hark, the herald cupcakes sing,
Glory to the Muffin King
Peace in dough and party wild
God has sent his new baked... smild?

...shild?

Hang on, I'll get back to you on that.

[LaZodiac]

Well, they're about knee length on the usual sacri-party guests, so I'd say mid-thigh, maybe mid upper thigh?

This is a thing that is fine.

Sadly, gonna have to cancel on the BB-Q. Leaving in like, two days for Edmonton for a weekend jaunt. Having someone work for the Airport has it's advantages, I guess you could say :smallwink:

[Heliomance]

A feud so old and ancient, you should not ask lest it destroy you.

Eh, I'm a maths student. Thing Man Was Not Meant To Know are my bread and butter.

Non-Euclidean geometry is fun!

[H Birchgrove]

Yeah, you'd think that, eh? Up to the point where... well, let's not ruin the surprise.


The CURSE OF RANDOM BANTER? Nah, can't tell anyone about the CURSE OF RANDOM BANTER. 's not how we do things 'round here. You'll see for yourself, sooner rather than later... *jaws music*
Whoa.

This, truly, will be the greatest adventure EVAH...!

... on the Internetz. :smalltongue:

[Castaras]

Well, today's started off luuuurvely.

Exam tomorrow. Been revising, looking over old lecture notes and such. Decide to go do some past exam questions - should be good to check I know what's going on.

Old exam question answers not given due to "Department Policy"... why? Whyyyyyy :smallannoyed:.

Check emails - turns out there was an optional but useful lecture to do with tomorrow's exam... about 5 minutes after I woke up. :smallfurious:

And now looking over old problem sheets. Should be okay. Except for the fact that
http://chzscience.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/funny-science-news-experiments-memes-dog-science-fuzzy-logic.jpg

Should be a fun coupla days. :smallsigh: :smalltongue:

[Dvil]

Chances are Cassie, your exam tomorrow will go better than mine did this morning. No exam solutions given, just like you. No online lecture notes at all. It was about 24 hours after a more important one that used up most of my weekend revision time. And to cap it all off, every single one of our past papers had the same format, very similar questions. This year's? Totally different.

Now I'm just praying for a low pass-mark.

[Archonic Energy]

ION, what's the deal between Archonic Energy and smellie_hippie?
I *STAB* hippie dies... it's that simple!

Archie even once went all the way to Trogland to stab Hippie in person! :smalleek:

I'm jealous, and I LIVE right next to Trogland.
ahhhh, my deeds will live on past my life... :smallamused:

It's a simple arrangement where I continuously claim victory over the fallen body of AE...

Not as great as the feud... but we aspire...

Lies and Slander! He was a figment of my hangover! I have witnesses!! :smalltongue:

Again... we aspire. :smallamused:
No White Text...
for shame Hippie...
*STAB*
and i did not get that mutch jetlag from you drinking... i was there damn it, i even screwed you over in every game we played...
good times

I'd say though that the Stabby Thing between Archie and Hippie is more successful because Archie's actually stabbed Hippie twice. For mostly reals.

got to love that 4th level spell
"get on plane"

and what do you mean mostly?!

Also because they're both still around. Whereas the feud had pretty much died due to the absence of Jaspero before I even joined the Playground.
Who was the other person in the feud? I can't remember.
The Feud was El J & Blackfox... and one day people will see Hippie & my conflict as the war(colour pending)
or something similar.

i now feel old... thanks guys i've been posting here for... 7 years & never felt old or nostalgic before...

[Thufir]

Blackfox. And he's still around.

She's also female.
I thought it was her, but I wasn't 100% sure.
...though come to think of it, I could have just checked her profile, since her sig is still all about the Feud.


Mostly because I can't even remember when I joined or how or why. :smalleek:

*Looks to left of post.*
...you joined after me as well?
This is weird. Your age, both Playground and actual, is some sort of blind spot for me.


Hark, the herald cupcakes sing,
Glory to the Muffin King
Peace in dough and party wild
God has sent his new baked... smild?

...shild?

Hang on, I'll get back to you on that.

Truly, this is a day of wonders.
...brain mixed in some Disney there. Day/Cave. This is the Dave of Wonders.
"Touch nothing but the lamp" potentially took on a whole new meaning...


Leaving in like, two days for Edmonton for a weekend jaunt.

This always confuses me. As far as I'm concerned, Edmonton is the area of London where I was born, but apparently it's also a city in this mythical 'Canada' (Since we're having an Old Guard resurgence, I'm going to maintain that everywhere outside the UK is a barren wasteland inhabited by evil vampire ghosts).


Exam tomorrow. Been revising, looking over old lecture notes and such. Decide to go do some past exam questions - should be good to check I know what's going on.

Old exam question answers not given due to "Department Policy"... why? Whyyyyyy :smallannoyed:.

Yeah, that was the same at Newcastle, and I've never understood it. "Here, you can practice on these old exams! But we won't tell you how well you did on them."
The onyl case where it kind of potentially made sense was when one of the questions on my exam was exactly the same as one in a past paper I'd done the day before. But that's really just lazy question-writing.


and what do you mean mostly?!

Well, the realness of Skype-stabbing may be considered to be debatable.


I now feel old... thanks guys I've been posting here for... 7 years & never felt old or nostalgic before...

Hey, we get it and we've been here considerably less time, it's only fair you get it as well.
Also, you've only been here 6 and a bit years.

[The Succubus]

This is my take on it as well - the exam you'll be getting is probably comprised of recycled questions from previous exams.

[Thufir]

This is my take on it as well - the exam you'll be getting is probably comprised of recycled questions from previous exams.

Well, kind of, yes. But usually they'd change the numbers. So you still have to work out the answers rather than just copying them down. And since the lecturers would go through similar questions in revision lectures anyway, teaching us the relevant methods...

[Alarra]

Let's see, Curly was the Goddess of the Written Word, Alarra was the Goddess of Pudding... OH MAN I USED TO KNOW ALL OF THIS.

Um, I'm remembering something vaguely about Misspelling? No, that was her username, not her goddess-ness...
Amiria was the mistress of 'mispeling' if I recall correctly.

The original gitp pantheon was myself as the goddess of pudding (technically it was joy, merriment, cheesecake and pudding, but the pudding is all that stuck, which makes sense sticky stuff that pudding is), Nim, goddess of chocolate, Scorpina, goddess of sock puppets and action figures, And...gah...why can't I remember anything else?! Gorbash Kazdar was god of something... and there were a couple other gods, of course none of them are board members anymore, which makes sense since this was in 2004.

Course there's only Scorpina and I anymore (is she still here? I haven't seen her in awhile) so we allowed some of these new upstarts (Cassie and her pies, Curly and books) to join in our dietyness. :smalltongue:

and ahhh, i remember the fued...*misses El J* He ought come back again. Though I ought point out that while less well-known and more confined, my 'feud' of sorts started earlier and has been going on much longer. *stabbities caw*

[smellie_hippie]

and ahhh, i remember the fued...*misses El J* He ought come back again. Though I ought point out that while less well-known and more confined, my 'feud' of sorts started earlier and has been going on much longer. *stabbities caw*

I mock your fued with caw. *stabs Archie*
Just kidding... you know I love you. :smallbiggrin:

[Archonic Energy]

see that's better hippie!

*STAB*

what, you thought i wasn't going to do that.

[Thufir]

Course there's only Scorpina and I anymore (is she still here? I haven't seen her in awhile) so we allowed some of these new upstarts (Cassie and her pies, Curly and books) to join in our dietyness. :smalltongue:

Coincidental typo, or deliberate pun? :smalltongue:

And, I haven't seen Scorp in some time.

[Castaras]

Wait, I'm a goddess? when did this happen, and why wasn't I informed of this earlier? I could have caused so much chaos if I'd known earlier. :smalltongue:

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

Wait, I'm a goddess? when did this happen, and why wasn't I informed of this earlier? I could have caused so much chaos if I'd known earlier. :smalltongue:

Isn't there some rule on divine-power non-proliferation and disarmament or something?

[SDF]

It would also depend on the kind of goddess. You could be one of those goddesses that has to sit there and look pretty like old Japanese royalty, or your domains could include actuarial sciences and antiquing.

[Thufir]

Isn't there some rule on divine-power non-proliferation and disarmament or something?

Where would be the fun in that?

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

*mumbles something about mortal, non- and semi-divine rights*

Nobody thinks about the little folk.

[AtlanteanTroll]

I am so unusually happy today! *hums to self* :smallbiggrin:

[Mountain_Faerie]

I heard there were a bunch of old timers around here. I thought I'd say hi on my way to the SE Trogland planning meeting (yes, we actually get together and talk about it during the year). Archie, are you going to make it to the Hippie Hut this year? We have to make plans for these things...

[Shadow]

Old only by comparison!
Note I called myself Old too even though I'm younger than you and all of my Old Crowd. We had the best old crowd . . .
Anyone else remember when ER and Andre posted semi-frequently in RB? Or Shadow? Or Llama?

Sorry lass, I heard you calling, but this dern'd walker takes forever to get up these dern'd stairs.

Oh, and I still have Jibbers leftovers. They're delicious.
*nom nom nom*

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

This is so trippy. Honestly, where are all you people coming from?

[Shadow]

Well, since I don't actually exist, I was never really gone per se. So my infrequent return should only be as surprising as my presence ever was to begin with. Which is to say, not at all.

Well, all that I can say that's constructive as to your purpose is to not listen to in-game radio and either make a quick playlist using your computer or mp3 player or do a search for a youtube playlist.

Or is this song playing in some other context other than the radio stations that the pipboy picks up?

[CurlyKitGirl]

*reads over the thread so far again*

I've gone back in time. I have. I really truly have. All these people, all these names, even people who now normally just post in SMBG.
Oh Gawds.

THIS THREAD IS THE ULTIMATE NOSTALGIA THREAD FOR ANYONE WHO JOINED BEFORE MID-2009.
NOW GIVE ME MY DARLING DEEREE AND BRING BACK OUR BATH!

Seriously guys, I'm getting all misty eyed over here.

I feel the need to go join a WW game now. Or Mafia. Or Vampire. So many memories. Anyone else remember Pirates III? God that was epic, and I was only reading it.
Damn I'm old.

[Tragic_Comedian]

Yha, it's coming from the Pipboy. I could totally listen to other stuff, and once I do finally get fed up by Mr New Vegas and his five songs, I'll do that.

At any rate, New Vegas is kinda fun. Still, of the two othr games I bought with it, it was the least good of the bunch. New Super Mario Bros Wii and Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes are much more fun.

EDIT: Based on Curly's response, are we to assume that this thread will go down in history as the Temporary Return Of The Great Old Ones?

[Thufir]

NOW GIVE ME MY DARLING DEEREE AND BRING BACK OUR BATH!

Seriously guys, I'm getting all misty eyed over here.

Yes. All of the yes.
I miss DeeRee.


I feel the need to go join a WW game now. Or Mafia. Or Vampire. So many memories. Anyone else remember Pirates III? God that was epic, and I was only reading it.
Damn I'm old.

While I'd usually be delighted at this, if your workload this term is anything like your workload last term, you might want to reconsider.
(And this has nothing to do with the fact I'm not sure I could put together a game at short notice...)
Also, none of the flagship games are recruiting right now.

*a single tear rolls down the Coidcheek* Yes.

[Ceika]

Wow... this thread is pretty nostalgic....

I'm still around... I still haunt the Arts & Crafts thread and take avatar requests, though it's been a while since I was active in other areas. Maybe I should try to get back into some of the games around here.

[Moff Chumley]

Not enough insanity.

Not enough insanity, you say.

...well, if it's me and Gwyn providing the insanity, or rather, inanity, that hardly has anything to do with The Great Old Ones.
My question is where's the line in the sand between Great Old Ones and people who've just wasted too much time on forums?

[Ceika]

You're the one making the avvies with the cool eyes! :smalltongue:

As the oldlings flee back into the woodwork once again, to return on the next unholy night, we should reflect on friends gone by, something something poetic writing goes here, now shoo we 2009-and-later-ers are reclaiming RB. :smallamused:

(Or you guys could stick around. Ya know, be awesome around here and stuff. :smallsmile: Totally an option.:smallwink:)

Heh. :smallamused:

There's a rather widely used plagiarism detection tool here in Sweden going by the name Urkund. Basically, students mail in their papers to a special Urkund account and they're checked against a rather extensive database which also includes every paper mailed into the system. One of my lecturers last autumn told us a story of a daughter of a teacher who saw that her mother had forgotten to log out from Urkund, and decided to test if her paper got caught for plagiarism. It didn't, so she handed it in. Her teacher also utilised Urkund for plagiarism detection. I think you can figure out the outcome of that yourself. :smallamused:

On the positive side for the girl, however, 100% plagiarism is such a rare occurrence that there has to be a story behind it. Especially when your name gets marked as plagiarism as well. :smallwink:

[Zeb The Troll]

Wow, it's like old home week in here. I fear I may have missed it. Let me try my hand at summoning someone ....

AngelSword, you've got two years on me and are one of the few contemporaries of Alarra still sometimes hanging around. Where are you these days?

[Ceika]

Hey Zeb! Long time no talk! How are you doin?

... well, no, I'm not AngelSword.... but that's what you get with a random summons roll...

[Zeb The Troll]

Darn those random rolls!

My contract ended and I haven't landed secure employment yet, but that's looking up. Alarra's looking at probably getting a newer betterer job, so that's cool. Not as cool as toodling around Tokyo in my off time, mind you, but I can't complain too much, except for the fact that you guys aren't just a road trip away anymore. :smallcool:

[Coidzor]

Well then. *nom*

Heh. Kinky. :smallamused: Lateral thinking too. Gotta give you credit for that. Good thing I don't use it much as it is, sadly.

*curls up* Hi Ceika.

Oh, that reminds me. How is the Puddingtroll? Is he talking now or just learning to read by now?

[Ceika]

*nod nod* Well, we're in Okinawa, so we can't really get to Tokyo on days off either.... (Gotta take leave for that, and, well... that's a whole 'nother issue with the unit out here)

Good luck with the employment search. It's still close to nil out here for me, but I'm not too worried about it right now. Couch/spare room is always open if you find your way out to this little island in the middle of nowhere! :smallbiggrin:


*curls up* Hi Ceika.
Hiya!

[Zeb The Troll]

Oh, that reminds me. How is the Puddingtroll? Is he talking now or just learning to read by now?He's jabbering up a storm right now and can correctly identify most of the letters of the alphabet and the numerals (things like lowercase L and the number 1 still trip him up, understandably) but he's not reading per se. I don't think he's too long for it though. He catches on quickly for most things. Colors, though, colors are a horse of a different color (:smalltongue:). I think when we ask him to identify a color he just guesses. We're working on it.


Couch/spare room is always open if you find your way out to this little island in the middle of nowhere! :smallbiggrin:Now that we can't go to GenCon this year, I may actually talk to Alarra and see if we can determine the feasibility of this. F'r srs.

Now that we can't go to GenCon this year, I may actually talk to Alarra and see if we can determine the feasibility of this. F'r srs.

No GenCon??? Harsh! :smallfrown: We're still trying to get to GenCon--well, and visit with family for a bit--and with luck things will work out for leave and such. It's just expensive to gets flights to and from here... But if we can't see you guys at GenCon, it would be really cool to have you out for a bit! :smallsmile:

And of course we told her months ago we'd be coming because we were thinking GenCon would be the weekend prior and it wouldn't be an issue. It would be poor form for us to change our minds at this point.

The fact that there is only 4 or 5 songs in this entire game is HEINOUS.
i like Big iron... however i would look for mods that add new songs... there are a few and they try to keep in the spirit of the original songs...

No matter what new spin I put on my jokes they feel a bit cruel with my approach, especially when he is stumped and his brows creased as he searches for the slippery hidden meanings. (It's all in good sport I should disclaim, he's a keeper of a workmate, things like this just bounce of him like grubber)

I guess I'll have to bail on the jokes till we win the ashes however, this gives me time to work on my delivery! When we do it''ll be the cherry on top for the entire year. People will be running out onto the streets in joy that day :smallbiggrin:

I could duck out till the rugby world cup, but that's a whole different ball game :smallwink:

In other news, I do hope time has been keeping you well AE! Still rockin' at life since we last talk? After all, at least one Englander needs to be there to give that urn we are lending you back :smallbiggrin:

Maybe I should be nice and return the hippie's soul to him. After all, I think that after a year and a half of having it laying in a box behind a broken plant pot in a cupboard, i'll probably not get any use out of it anyway.

But . . . there was soul trading and swapping at one of our meetups, I can't remember if you still own hippie's soul, or if it was one of the exchanged ones.

I think I traded away RPGsr4Me's soul to someone else. I think i kept the hippie's soul.
After all, I did have two spare souls as a result of the meetup dice.

That reminds me.. I need to find a new place to host my images. Since I switched ISP's and Sky doesn't have anywhere to upload stuff to like TalkTalk do..And I don't feel like using the likes of Flickr or picasa, cause I want to be able to name the files myself and have an easy to use URL to where everything's located...

Ah, wasn't entirely certain because so many souls were changed ownership that day. A good baker's dozen at least. And those were only the swapped ones.
Why do we have so many souls?

But it does make sense to keep hippie's soul, you had that for what, three years now?

See, individually I understand the definition of every word, I understand most of the clauses too.
But when it comes to putting together what you're actually talking about . . . you need a new bucket for your photos? But you can't or don't want to use something like Photobucket.

Honestly, I've tried hopping into a few games, but it always turns out exactly the same. Either you're in the trusted circle that has been scried or you're not.
Nothing you can say or do will put you into that circle if you haven't been scried, and nothing you can say or do will even be entertained unless you're in that circle.
So they all seem to be boring Follow the Proxy snooze fests these days. I've tried a few, and I just can't handle it.

I have been okay. After a very familially difficult autumn (academically easy, which saved my bacon, metaphorically speaking, since I'm a vegetarian :smallwink:) I have just returned to my last semester in school which will hopefully be less trauma and more work. I'm writing a 100-page thesis on the Welsh March 1150-1250, keeping on with Latin, taking two researchful seminars, and working as head curator at a history museum.

So it's 100% for sure on the "more work" part. I leave for Latin class in twenty minutes. My first thesis chapter is due tomorrow and I'm meeting with my adviser to discuss last semester, when I did most of the thesis research. Work work work work all the time. :smallwink:

Oh man! Death and puns! This really does feel like half a decade ago. I don't think I can compete in punnery when Death's around. I still remember a gloriously long pun of Death's (I think perhaps a good 500 words) which ended with "I'm a simple hobo. I've been through many hardships in my life." Thank you for that pun, it's one I use frequently to the groans of others. (Which really is the only point in puns, one's own amusement.)

oh...shoot...I know I have their number in this phone somewhere *searches frantically*

Your boss (Roland) would have not admitted he knew about it. He would also have posted in a color with much less Green and naked people blue. I will now go back to my fun.

[Tragic_Comedian]

Man, this thread's a trip.

[Slayn82]

Breaking news.

{Scrubbed}

Good news.

1st Ed. AD&D will be reprinted. (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/115355-Advanced-Dungeons-Dragons-Reprinted)

[enderlord99]

That's blasphemous.

I don't know. Go ask that troll over there. Humans aren't plants, fungi, bacteria, or protists.

[Atreyu the Masked LLama]

EDIT: Based on Curly's response, are we to assume that this thread will go down in history as the Temporary Return Of The Great Old Ones?

Or Llama?


I'm busy in SMBG battling ponies! Battle ALL the ponies!!!

[AtlanteanTroll]

I don't know. Go ask that troll over there.

Which do you mean, me or Zeb? :smalltongue:

[Ranger Mattos]

Good news.

Wonderful! If only I had any money to buy the books with :smallfrown:

[Tragic_Comedian]

I don't need to buy a reprint. My dad has the originals.

[Ceika]

...y'know, I'm not sure if I've ever actually seen Ceika post before?

No? It's been a while, I'll admit, since I stepped out of the Arts and Crafts thread, but I used to be out and about quite a bit... SMBG mostly...

Spot on, Llama! Just... perfect! :smallbiggrin:

[101jir]

I'm busy in SMBG battling ponies! Battle ALL the ponies!!!

I will be glad to be of assistance, ponies are delicous:smalltongue:. Which forum?

[SDF]

There is vegetarian bacon. (http://www.morningstarfarms.com/morningstar-farms-veggie-bacon-strips.html)

Morning Stars ribs are mad delicious. I'm not even a veggie.

[AtlanteanTroll]

I've been eating Morningstar Bacon forever. I think I might prefer it to actual bacon ... But probably not.

[enderlord99]

Which do you mean, me or Zeb? :smalltongue:

Neither. I meant the Dire Fell Troll that's over there. *points in multiple directions at once*:smalltongue:

A fell troll is larger than a normal troll (specifically Huge), so a dire fell troll would be gargantuan.

Seriously* though, you're also an animal, so why don't you eat your own arm and then tell me if ALL animals actually taste good. I mean, being a troll, you likely have arms that can grow back, right?

*not really.

[Castaras]

I have been summoned? :smallconfused: :smallsmile:

Hallo friends. Hallo darling Koorly-sister. I have no idea what's going on but hi hi hi hi hi!

DEEREE! *pounce*

And people! Crazy playgrounders! What is this nostalgia trip I don't even.

This is beautiful.

*snif*

I'm squeeing in real life about this. I think I'm worrying my mate I'm hanging out with at the moment. :smallbiggrin:

It really feels like a glorious homecoming, even though I wasn't that prodigious when I posted somewhat frequently. I've missed the forum, I'm not sure why my posting fell by the wayside. You are all lovely people.
I'm just back from the pub, there is a chance I'm being overly dramatic. Huh, I don't seem to post without being hyped up on caffeine or drunk, maybe that's a problem. The fact this continues outside of the forum may be a bigger problem...
EDIT: How do I make my avatar fit the window? THINGS HAVE CHANGED. I AM NOT PLEASED.

Yes, my arms are delicious.
And apparently the comical nature of that post was completely lost on some people who happen to be far too sensitive.
You know, just because you don't agree with something doesn't make a post by someone of a different opinion a troll.
Food for thought. Meaty delicious food for thought. :smallwink:

The file linked to has to be 120x120 pixels. Or 117x117? I can never remember which.

Technically speaking, I'm a scrag.

I know, right? Aren't people aware that your awakening signals the beginning of the end, and doom for us all?

The Mayans were right, people!! :smallamused:

[Dragonrider]

There is vegetarian bacon. (http://www.morningstarfarms.com/morningstar-farms-veggie-bacon-strips.html)

Fake meat actually freaks me out a lot more than real meat, because I am a vegetarian for more or less environmental reasons (also, I'm not that fond of meat to begin with) but ultraprocessed food .... UGH.

It's funny to be back checking threads. I don't think I'll stick around too long because I haven't the time, but it's nice to see people :smallsmile:

ION: Anybody around here going to Ohayocon? ... >.>

[thedarkstone]

Wow. I expected something out of the ordinary, but watching a reunion like this is making me wish my old forum site would have a reunion one of these days... Ah, the memories.

But that is besides the point. I wanted to introduce myself. I am known as Darkstone elsewhere on this forum, Draconas on some others, Darkest elsewhere, sometimes Asmodeus, and, at one point, Sir Percival (shortened to Percy). OH, and Viridis at one point. I go by too many names.

But my name is also besides the point. So many tangents I keep running into. Probably the thread's physics affecting me. Anywho, it's nice to meet all of you, finally. I've sort of almost met some of you. Ish. But yeah, I'm a fairly new arrival, just got here a month or two ago. I wish I had been here sooner. But enough of that wistfulness.

*takes a bow* If you could make it through that, Then I bid you greetings! How goes it?

I guess I'm not getting greeted then, I skipped to the end after you said you were Asmodeus. :smalltongue: Foolish sheepling joking aside, hi hello and welcome to the endless void, the spiraling stairs of sanity, Random Banter. :smallsmile: Now go sit in the corner, or the Old Guard will Take Away Your Banana.

[Dispozition]

I heard something about nostalgia...I hope I'm not late :3

By the way...It's been 140 threads since my RB thread...What in the world.

[enderlord99]

I wasn't calling them (internet) trolls. I was pointing out that most (fantasy setting) trolls eat people. Btw, I was also trying to be funny (if you were referring to someone else as being "comical.")

[thedarkstone]

Ah, 'tis only a name I've frequented of late. But thank you for the welcome! I left my cadre of souls in a safety deposit box within an unbreakable safe hidden in the ruins of a Greek city before I came, so I should be safe in that regard.

Or, well, as safe as possible in a Random Banter thread.

[Dispozition]

Oh jeeze, actually going through the thread this is amazing...I'm squeeing at some of you guys posting.

Man...So glad I saw cassie's post on FB :D

[blackfox]

I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THERE ARE COOL PEOPLE IN THIS THREAD

HELLO COOL PEOPLE

[Phase]

Can't you see we don't love you anymore. The new big thing is shrinky dinks gods damn

[Mutant Sheep]

I'm squeeing at the everything. ALL the everything. :smallwink: (Mostly you guys, because geez. This is like watching the 8th grade reunion from '99.:smallbiggrin:)

[AtlanteanTroll]

*waits for Dr. Bath to show up*

[Eruantion]

I have to say, I stopped recognizing people about two days ago. Do you think we can make 50 straight pages of nothing but reminiscing about old-timers?

[Tragic_Comedian]

We probably could, but that sounds pretty boring, really.

I'm really happy the banana thing is still a thing people are remembering.

[Atreyu the Masked LLama]

I will be glad to be of assistance, ponies are delicous:smalltongue:. Which forum?

You can't eat the ponies. You just.....battle them with numbers!!

Wow, so many folks are running around. Its like my birthday!! We've got some amazing screen names here and awesome avatars and fantastic posters!!

[101jir]

Who says I can't eat the ponies? A llama? Well, I would prefer to play one faction against the other ally the less delicious better side, but as that doesn't seem to be an option... its battle time in KoK! (I think, is it a different forum?):smalltongue:

[Lykan]

... A llama told me to come here. I'm not entirely sure why. I'm very confused and wanting to return to blowing up dragon gods. So, hi everybody. :smalleek:

[Dispozition]

Lykan :D :D :D

Why did we all stop posting >:

[Zombulian]

I decided I would stroll on in and try to partake in some random banter as well. But honestly, I'm a little intimidated by this gathering of sages :smalleek:. Please don't steal my soul!

[Zeb The Troll]

Yay! A Lykan!

*initiates the secret GenCon meetup handshake*

Points at Lykan.

:smallcool:

[Dragonrider]

We've got some amazing screen names here

Funny, I was just cogitating on the unfortunate screenname I chose for myself as an impressionable fifteen-year-old. :smalltongue: It's not exactly memorable but on the other hand, it certainly could have been worse...it could have had numbers in it...

(No offense to anyone with numbers in their screenname.)

[Zombulian]

Well... there IS a namechange thread. I just didn't know about it until I made a new account :smallsigh:

[101jir]

Yay! A Lykan!

*initiates the secret GenCon meetup handshake*

:smallcool:

You haven't posted here for a while either, Zeb, nice to see ya!

None taken, Dragonrider:smallsmile:

Oh, I wouldn't change it. I just like to complain. :smalltongue:

[Zombulian]

Oh, one o' those... *shakes fist* why I oughta!

[Tragic_Comedian]

I know where I'm gonna send my demo record to when it's done now. The banjo and mandolin player has played on it and now all we're waiting on is the fiddler, who'll be playing his parts on February the 3rd. Show's the 18th. Man, it's all out of sight. I'm beginning to realize I could really do this.

Also we should totally have 50 pages of reminiscing about old times. All we need now is El Jaspero and Sneak to show up <.<

[Castaras]

Needs the lovely countess of mispelling, and the ol' Captain van der Decke, and ol' Darius, and Ego Slayer, and and and and...:smallbiggrin:

I love you guys. Taking over the RB thread!! :D

[SMEE]

Some people from the old ages here... :smallconfused:

[Diva De]

Like me? I'm an old-timer. :smallbiggrin:
And I was told by another old-timer, a personage of questionable odor, to come in and bring Nostalgia back. :smallwink:

[Zeb The Troll]

De! Why in the bloody hell are you awake right now? Shouldn't you be resting and absorbing the spectacular awesome of being a kept woman (so that you can stay up late and come raiding with us)?

[El Jaspero, the Pirate King]

HI HI HI
