AtlanteanTroll’s Atrocious and Terrific Arcade of Terror – RB #157

[AtlanteanTroll]

The Rules

Follow these, and no harm shall come to you while you remain within these walls.

Spoiler

Show

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.

Past Random Banters

Please, go archive trolling.

Anyway, go out and do what you must. The thread calls all into it’s warm, scaly arms. Descriptions given by AtlanteanTroll may be inaccurate.

LET THE GAMES COMENCE!!

Oh, and as of the last thread there was talk of a RB D&D Game. People who've shown interest:

• Me
• LaZodiac
• Absolmorph
• Teddy
• Zaydos (I think?)
• MoonCat
• Ranger Mattos

[MoonCat]

*boogies*

I just got the AT, AT, AT pattern, very amusing.

[LaZodiac]

Hooray for boogie-ing!

Anyway, concerning time zones, I'm literally free whenever except for possibly Fridays and Saterdays. And for reference, today is Friday.

[AtlanteanTroll]

Anyway, concerning time zones, I'm literally free whenever except for possibly Fridays and Saterdays. And for reference, today is Friday.

Same goes for me ... Though, weekdays suck because of School. That's why I would prefer something that doesn't require everyone being available at the same time.

[LaZodiac]

Well, from my secret stalking (read: watching you guys post) you all seem to get time to post at around 3:00 GMT (my time) so that seems like a good starting point.

EDIT: Atlantean, this is RB 157, not 156.

[AtlanteanTroll]

EDIT: Atlantean, this is RB 157, not 156.

Herp a Derp.

[LaZodiac]

Hey, it's ok Atlantean. Those last few pagess went by in a flurry. I spelt Mattos's name wrong and backwards.

[Dvil]

I'd be interested, but I don't have time. Sorry guys.

[KuReshtin]

Well, from my secret stalking (read: watching you guys post) you all seem to get time to post at around 3:00 GMT (my time) so that seems like a good starting point.

3.00 GMT? Greenwich Meridian Time is your time zone? Are you sure?

Edit:

Also, for arranging Play-by-post games of DnD, please use the gaming forums, and not Random Banter.
It's what the RPG forums are for, after all.

[AtlanteanTroll]

You know what would make the RB D&D Group amazing? If we played out Avatars.

YES.

EDIT: I thought people were suppose to use UCT? Anywho, I'm UTC -4.

[LaZodiac]

Ooops! Sorry I dumb. My time zone is Mountain Time, but my clock says "oh by the way GMT is this" and I got confused.

What do you mean by that, Atlantean?

[Teddy]

Well, from my secret stalking (read: watching you guys post) you all seem to get time to post at around 3:00 GMT (my time) so that seems like a good starting point.

I refuse to belive for a second that you Canadians use GMT. I live in the GMT+1 zone, halfway to the other side of the Earth from you, and it's currently 23:20 (daylight saving time).

[AtlanteanTroll]

Ooops! Sorry I dumb. My time zone is Mountain Time, but my clock says "oh by the way GMT is this" and I got confused.

What do you mean by that, Atlantean?

Mmmm. I'd be a Troll, Teddy would be a Werebear, Mattos would be a Ranger. Cools stuff.

[LaZodiac]

Yha, my bad Teddy.

Ohh, that's pretty cool. No troll's or werebears in DnD, but we could work something out (Goliath's are half giants which are troll like, Druids can work)

But following that little gimic would be optional of course. On the slowly shrinking chance that I'm not the dnd, I'm thinking a Thri Kreen. Grasshopper go!

[absolmorph]

I'm on PST, so GMT -7.
I'm free Thursday through Sunday, typically.

[LaZodiac]

I'm sorry but I don't actually know my timezones (as my previous comments have shown).

Think you could also add in what time it is right now as you post? For me it's 3:30 pm Friday. I just feel it makes things easier.

[AtlanteanTroll]

No troll's or werebears in DnD.

As a personal thing, I understand that but, that's incorrect.

5:31 Original posting time. Friday.

[KuReshtin]

Yha, my bad Teddy.

But following that little gimic would be optional of course. On the slowly shrinking chance that I'm not the dnd, I'm thinking a Thri Kreen. Grasshopper go!

I'd guess a Half-Orc would be better than a Goliath as a substitute for the Troll, and for the Werebear, you've got the Shifters.

[Teddy]

Argh, phone texting makes me slower than a snail on the wrong escalator. And then the edit and quote buttons go missing and I get a number of technical difficulties. I think I'm going to call it a night even though it's still pretty early for me. After all, I've got cousins to survive.

Also, werebear sounds cool, if a bit too much LA perhaps...

[Eruantion]

You know what would make the RB D&D Group amazing? If we played out Avatars.

YES.

EDIT: I thought people were suppose to use UCT? Anywho, I'm UTC -4.

Wait, what? RB D&D? How did I miss this?

By the way, Troll finally got the R&B thread. Grats, dude.

[LaZodiac]

OH WOW! I'm sorry =(

I meant no Trolls and Werebears in 4e. As you can tell, I'm excited and thus running at 50 miles a second here in my ole brain box. And it's not meant to do that sometimes.

Yha, started just last thread the discussion on it.

Also, good point Ku. Shifters and Half Orcs woo.

[KuReshtin]

And again, guys, even if the group of players will consist of forumites from the RB thread, don't use the RB thread to organise it.
That's what the ROG sub-forums are for, after all.

Easy enough to follow a thread in another part of the forum, since you can subscribe to it and get updaes when people post in it.

[absolmorph]

I'm sorry but I don't actually know my timezones (as my previous comments have shown).

2:36 PM, Friday.

For Teddy, it's currently... 10:36 PM, I think.

[LaZodiac]

Ah, ok Ku. I'm just new to organizing things on forums and stuff, so I'm not entirely sure where to post, or how to post.

[Teddy]

I'm sorry if this is a double post (most likely not, given my low typing speed), but I've currently lost the ability to quote and edit. LaLa, if the forum clock is showing the correct time, then you should be able to see your time zone at the bottom of this page (you may need to subtract 1 for correctness, though. It displays me as being in time zone +2 for some obscure reason. Time is correct, though).

[Eruantion]

Ku is right, someone should make a new thread in which we can discuss the D&D creation.

[AtlanteanTroll]

Wait, what? RB D&D? How did I miss this?

By the way, Troll finally got the R&B thread. Grats, dude.

It's been a long and bloody battle. *commits Hara-Kiri*

Ku has a point. Though wouldn't it be silly to make a thread and purposefully say no new people ... Ah well, I'll go do it.

[LaZodiac]

Ok. If possible could you post the link to it here because...I really don't know where it would be. I assume on the Finding Players Recruitment section, but Ku said ROG so I'm confused and running around.

[AtlanteanTroll]

RB D&D Thread. It's OP will be updated with process.

[Eruantion]

It's been a long and bloody battle. *commits Hara-Kiri*


Mmmm.



Ku has a point. Though wouldn't it be silly to make a thread and purposefully say no new people ... Ah well, I'll go do it.

But you won

By the way, I'm just getting started with D&D, you wouldn't mind a green player like me, would you?
