We have decided that clone week '08 will take place from November 5-November 12. During the Week Of Clones, we will refer to everybody in first person plural, as after all, we are all the same entity. During this week we will all have the same avatar and signature, and our location will be changed to "In the Playground."


We have spoken, let the confusion begin.

This shall be our avatar: http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/Tobi-Sean/cloneAVT.png
And this shall be our sig: We are Here. We are One. We are the Playground.
Our Location shall be: "In the playground"

Nohwl
2008-10-03, 06:11 PM
that means i would have to get an avatar. i think everyone should not have one instead.

I like it! Boring, generic, slightly-on-the-grey-side avatars, and only usernames to go on! It will be more confusing than Mistaken Identity Week and more likely to occur than... what I was thinking just fled my brain. Ow.

I like it, let's do it!

Stupid idea I had. We all get identical, bland avatars, and signatures that say "clone day '08", and confuse the heck out of people. 'Twould be fun(ny).

Sounds tweriffic.

I'm in.

I was thinking, if I see any interest, of maybe doing it in mid-month?

Thanatos 51-50

IN!

We should all change our locations to "In the Playground" and hide our genders, too.

and the sigs should say nothing BUT Clone Week '08.

Who shall make the cloneatar?

I was not a fan of that day. There's an intangible thing that bothers me about that avatar...

I would like to point out I had this idea 9 hours before you.

Behold:

What would be cool is if for one day, everyone had the same avatar and signature. Or at least everyone who wanted to participate. It would look like a bunch of clones.

You know, to make it even better, we should all talk like some sort of hive-mind, or say blatantly generic things.

Certainly! We are the Chosen One, after all.

Edit: By the way, while cloning, we must take care not clone a clone. We've had trouble with that sort of thing in the past.

Case in point:
Clone 9a: "Blaargh. Pizza is delicious when you put it in your ear first!"

Unless we have any previous engagements we are not aware of, we would like to second this notion put forth regarding the proposed time period allocated for Clone Week '08.

What about the GitP Prom interfering with that set time? Why not make it for November 5th - 12th?

If we don't know what the Prom event is, then we may look to our signature in this post for information.

Ah, yes. We were unaware of the pre-determined dates for GitP Prom. Perhaps Nov 5-12 would be better because being clones and attending Prom would not be mutually exclusive.

As we all know, 'mutually exclusive' is a phrase we clones cannot stand to hear.

Clone 1: "I made a new avatar. Would be nice if I could give some comments."
Clone 2: "I think I didn't work out the face properly."
Clone 1: "I don't see what I mean."
Clone 3: "What I mean is that I didn't place the eyes right. I should fix that."

I could be persuaded to participate in this. I'd need someone to provide us with a neutral/cloned avvie that could be used on this day.

Very good, Nov 5 to Nov 12 should work. We think cloned catmuffins might be suitable for those of us who'd like to get a head start on things.

We wonder what this 'amotis day' was...

We expect that the answer will be 'you don't want to know'.

Haruki-kun
2008-10-04, 11:42 AM
We would like to know if an avatar has been chosen yet.

Also, we would like to explain the previous question: Amotis day was a day some people asked why many had a similiar avatar. Some people as a joke replied by wearing Amotis's avatar. Before long, a whole group of pseudo-Amotis people had appeared.

This was last December, we think.

We cannot force anyone to participate, even if dissent completely violates the purpose of our enterprise. Remember the cautionary tale of the Clone of a Clone, 9a - apparently pizza tastes the best when we put it in our ear first.

Although, admittedly, this baffles us.

Mr. Moon
2008-10-04, 03:09 PM
We are extremely excited, and wish that our prom would go away, so that we can start sooner.

We would also like to stress that we not mention this on any of our other forums until we start the official date, as we would like this to be a surprise for certain "individuals".

We find the word "individuals" distasteful. Yuck.

Edit: We would also like to stress that none of us get excited and start early, either. We must be synchronized!

EmeraldRose
2008-10-04, 03:17 PM
Agreed, we must not start early. That would ruin the ONE.

Dallas-Dakota
2008-10-04, 04:25 PM
Also except a starting date, we must find a time and location to start at so that despite time zones we switch at the same time.

Thanatos 51-50

We would like to request that We host the Avatar and Sig Banner on somethng other than photobucket.

Does one of Us have such a solution prepared?

EmeraldRose
2008-10-04, 04:40 PM
Why can't we host it on photobucket? We do not have an account anywhere else.

Mr. Moon
2008-10-04, 04:50 PM
Do any of us have an Imageshack account, or perhaps something else?

Thanatos 51-50
2008-10-04, 04:53 PM
Our employer blocks photobucket - as it is, even our current avatar is consolodated into a red 'x'. We cannot puzzle out how to register an imageshack account, however, as when we click on register, we are re-directed back to the home page.

This frustrates us.

Threeshades
2008-10-04, 04:56 PM
We always thought Imageshack works without registration.

So the question appears to us, why our employer blocks Photobucket.

Moff Chumley
2008-10-04, 05:53 PM
We think that synchronization across timezones is futile; doing the switch within the same day should suffice. Also, do we aprove of eating ice cream out of the container, or what? :smallbiggrin:

We do not, however, approve of earwax pizza, and are conflicted about Clone 9a.

(Poster vanishes in a puff of logic)

But, we are clones, not Auditors of Reality. Although expressing individuality goes against our Final Purpose, it does not lead to our nullification via paradox.

Unless, perhaps, we are clones of clones and suffer significantly damaged genetic sequences. Still, we are baffled as to how an error in amino acid chain production coupled with philosophical conceptualizations could result in spontaneous annihilation. :smalleek:

We believe it will occur during November 5th - 12th; so as to avoid conflict with Prom and Cat-Muffin week.

XenoTherapy

Another way to speak in a collective would be still using "I" but not only to refer to ourselves but to every other clone too.

Clone 1: "I made a new avatar. Would be nice if I could give some comments."
Clone 2: "I think I didn't work out the face properly."
Clone 1: "I don't see what I mean."
Clone 3: "What I mean is that I didn't place the eyes right. I should fix that."

Seconded!

I, personally, like it better than we. Way more confusing and would be a hell of a lot more fun to have conversations.

SoD
2008-10-05, 12:21 AM
We're in. And for 5th-12th? Perfect, just in time for our birthday! Won't that make the party confusing...with us all looking like us. Funfunfun, eh?

Rockphed
2008-10-05, 01:34 AM
I agree that I should use I as it is much more confusing for those who are not me. Also, I find this project to coincide with my goals. Truly this is my best idea ever. Now let me gather together in my army of doom.

Somehow conversations using "I" for both first and second person pronounage is creepier, but "we" instead of "I" is more noticeable. Grrrr.

We do not like Icecream.
We also need to discuss when Clone Day will end as we are sure some of us will not want to stop being us.

SoD
2008-10-05, 04:22 AM
We think maybe we should have two different types of avatars for us to use, maybe a clone looking left for we who say we, and one looking right for those who refur to ourselves as 'I'.

And we beleive the current official dates are 5th-12th november, are we correct?

Ethrael
2008-10-05, 04:27 AM
Can we just ask? Why are we speaking in the plural? We seemed to have missed that bit...

Mr. Moon

We still think that the Hive mind "we" would be best, for although "I" is more confusing, it also suggests individuality, and even though we are all the same individual, we also think thusly, from one source - our original.

Plus, we think the Hive Mind form of speech is way cool.

Edit: We agree that the OP needs to be updated.

We agree that Playground should be capitalized. However, we feel that our version is strengthened by the rule of threes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_three_(writing)), and also because it suggests that we are a singularity rather than a plurality. However, we defer to our opinion, if that is how we all feel.

Also, we should remember to capitalize and punctuate correctly during the official week, to create the effect of vocal similarity. We usually do not capitalize at all, but we felt it would detract from the effect if we preserved that pattern for our week.

We are going to enjoy this, and only hope that we all start to have our speaking mannerisms travel over into the real world(tm).

alright, so to make sure we understand... we're using the gray clone avatar and the "We are Here. We are One. We are the Playground." sig?

Being a star wars nerd... I feel as though clone troopers should be glorified somehow

We believe that we do not understand the premise of this week. We are united. We are unemotional. We are changeless.
We are Here. We are One. We are the Playground.

We are, however, concerned with one thing.

Where the hell are we?

Our thread got revived. This would make us happy, if that were possible. :|

We would like to point out that the emotionlessness was a trait tacked on by a younger generation of clones and was not a trait initially exibited by Generations 1 and 2. We shall not be giving in to every new fad. Truly, we clones are capable of emotion; although typically this is restricted to melancholy, ambivalence, apathy, and mild indignation. We are the playground, we will not be watered down.

The two clones have different formatting in their sigs. Change it to match.

We prefer the simplicity of Gezina's version.

We are many, we are part of the whole. We will bring all into our fold of perfect equality.

We are the Playground.

We are reminding us to also remove gender signs. Psst, Mauve, you still have yours up.

We are ready. We are prepared to dominate the Playground and assimilate all into our fold.
