How To Random Banter:
Rules of the Random Banter Thread

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.

@V: Is that better?

[Mutant Sheep]

Opening post could use some rules, and I petition that hte name be longer so the thread sticks out more. And more alliteratimg! And chickenz!

@^Much. Thank you.

[Mynxae]

Do you really need to put in that you hate Twilight?

[CurlyKitGirl]

@Drakeburn: Sweetheart, when you copy pasted the first post over all the links to previous threads got left out and you forgot to link to the previous RB.
Now this is all done, go quote the first post of RB#189, copy-pasta the whole thing and edit the relevant bits into your post here.

Indeed. That ad is getting me really P.O.'d. I don't like it. I agree with anyone who doesn't like it, because screw that ad.

Wait, whats wrong with webcomics? This "Connie" feller is a strange strange person. Hating on webcomics and.. Well, nerddom. Go walk into some other persons room and complain about their beowsing habits.

I cant speel. Gah. Damn ipad.

*eyeroll*
Tell me about it. Worst thing?
Connie (who for all intents and purposes is now female for ease of reference regardless of actual RL sex and gender) is younger than me by about, oh, eleven months. And yet she proselytising about the unsuitable nature of my hobbies.
That's not saying I don't occasionally browse things considered unsuitable for children, but she's the youngest person in the house!
And somewhat miraculously for a twenty-something year old she still doesn't have a grasp on advertising on websites. Or adblock.

I wonder how she would react if I informed her that a major field of my personal studies focuses on incest?

Long story short, annoying nosy person is annoying and nosy. I am honestly beginning to wonder if she's have a fit of the vapours if she caught me watching Repo! The Genetic Opera while browsing through my Discworld/Gaiman/Doctor Who things.
They're all so inappropriate for a person my age!
:bigaghast:

[DraPrime]

Ah, a new thread!

*boogies*

In other news, I have fallen prey to some foul disease. Can't say I'm happy with this, given that I would prefer to be fully functional during my one week of break. Ah well, I suppose I can sit back and relax while experiencing the joy of studying Latin grammar.

I need a smoke.

edit: In other other news, I have taken up tabletop wargaming. There goes all my money. On the bright side, four other seminarians are starting this hobby with this, so at least I have some friends with whom I can share the joys of bankruptcy.

edit 2.0: Also, salve CirrataKitPuella! Though if Google Translate is to be believed, there is a Latin word for "kit", so perhaps you are CirrataLoculaPuella? I will need to consult one of several big books o' Latin back at the seminary.

[Qwertystop]

In other other news (that's actually not news, just yelling questions):

WHY WON'T THEY JUST RELEASE BIT.TRIP FLUX ON PC ALREADY?!

@CurlyKitGirl: Don't remind me about copying and pasting 189 links. This is my first time doing this sort of thing, and you are pressuring me to do my least favorite part of the job. I'll do that from time to time, but I have to do a quiz for my college class first.

You chose to make the new thread, so it's your duty to do it. So don't just complain about it, considering it was your choice to make the new thread.

[DraPrime]

@CurlyKitGirl: Don't remind me about copying and pasting 189 links. This is my first time doing this sort of thing, and you are pressuring me to do my least favorite part of the job. I'll do that from time to time, but I have to do a quiz for my college class first.

It's not that difficult to do all the links. Just copy and paste the code from the previous first post. It takes less than 5 minutes.

[MoonCat]

Quote the OP from the last page and add the latest thread. And you chose to do the new thread, you have to do this. This isn't a job, or a chore, you volunteered to do something people tend to argue over wanting to do.

[Amidus Drexel]

-snip, this "Connie" person-

Doesn't understand... online advertising?

Um... I don't have anything on hand for you to hit her with. Sorry.

If she's got problems with Discworld or Dr. Who, of all things, then let her faint.

My friend, it's not as hard as you're making it out to be; quote the first post of the last thread, and edit out the quote tags. There's no need to click on every single one.

Edit: I got the living crap ninja'd out of me here. Pardon me, Drakeburn; I think it'll be quite thoroughly beaten to death by the time you read this.

ION: And a simple question would have saved me an hour and a half of unproductive noodling... Well, not entirely unproductive. I got a melody down for part of it.

[MoonCat]

DB: copy everything within and including the following spoiler tags, then add at the end of the list the latest thread. Don't complain about a privilege you took upon.

And yes, I agree about not putting hate in the OP. I mean, I agree, Twilight is the worst, but is that really the note to start on?

1. Yeah, I have to agree that hating Twilight isn't the best way of starting a new thread.

2. Thank you. You actually helped me do my job in ten seconds.

[MoonCat]

1. Yeah, I have to agree that hating Twilight isn't the best way of starting a new thread.

2. Thank you. You actually helped me do my job in ten seconds.

Sure. People in the past have had difficulty with the whole "linking every thread' conundrum too.

[Dimonite]

I suppose I'll just *gavotte* on in, then.

Oh, and penguins can't rule the world.
Because leopard seals.

[Devmaar]

Leapord seals are not the biggest reason penguins won't rule the world.
Ostriches are.

[Drakeburn]

Ah, but what about the monkeys?

Ever seen those "Planet of the Apes" movies?

[Amidus Drexel]

What, with their tiny brains? I'm surprised ostriches can even march straight, much less stop penguins from doing anything.

Now, monkeys, might be an issue.

[Dimonite]

Leapord seals are not the biggest reason penguins won't rule the world.
Ostriches are.

Ostriches do not nom penguins, though. Leopard seals do - and they do quite a good job of it, too. I'd link a pic, but it's rather against the forum rules against graphic violence.

[DraPrime]

Ostriches do not nom penguins, though. Leopard seals do - and they do quite a good job of it, too. I'd link a pic, but it's rather against the forum rules against graphic violence.

Ostriches can fight lions. They're the one thing stopping giant Lovecraftian penguins too big for the seals to eat.

[Devmaar]

Ostriches do not nom penguins, though. Leopard seals do - and they do quite a good job of it, too. I'd link a pic, but it's rather against the forum rules against graphic violence.

Leopard seals would be even worse at adapting to non-antarctic inland conditions than the penguins.

What, with their tiny brains? I'm surprised ostriches can even march straight, much less stop penguins from doing anything.

Now, monkeys, might be an issue.

The ostriches don't need to plan on stopping the penguins, an ostrich could kill a penguin by tripping over it. A herd(?) of ostriches could run through a flock(?) of penguins leaving a trail of devastation and not even noticing.

[Amidus Drexel]

The ostriches don't need to plan on stopping the penguins, an ostrich could kill a penguin by tripping over it. A herd(?) of ostriches could run through a flock(?) of penguins leaving a trail of devastation and not even noticing.

Look, we're talking giant penguins with sniper rifles and land mines here. The ostriches will lose as soon as they try to charge the penguins' fortress.

[Dimonite]

Ostriches can fight lions. They're the one thing stopping giant Lovecraftian penguins too big for the seals to eat.

Leopard seals can be almost four meters long and weigh 1300 pounds. If the penguins are too big for them to eat, then the ostriches won't even slow those penguins down.

Leopard seals would be even worse at adapting to non-antarctic inland conditions than the penguins.

They've found leopard seals in AUSTRALIA. With PLATYPI in their bellies.

[Mutant Sheep]

Ah, a new thread!

*boogies*

In other news, I have fallen prey to some foul disease. Can't say I'm happy with this, given that I would prefer to be fully functional during my one week of break. Ah well, I suppose I can sit back and relax while experiencing the joy of studying Latin grammar.

edit: In other other news, I have taken up tabletop wargaming. There goes all my money. On the bright side, four other seminarians are starting this hobby with this, so at least I have some friends with whom I can share the joys of bankruptcy.

*boogies with the booging boogiers*

Being ill is no fun.

...Smething something vow of poverty preparation or something, I dunno. Trying to write speech for tomorrow. i despiiiise my voice/way f speaking and am bad at writing speeches. So it is... Painful.

[Devmaar]

Look, we're talking giant penguins with sniper rifles and land mines here. The ostriches will lose as soon as they try to charge the penguins' fortress.

The ostriches don't need to charge. Just think of them as an enviromental hazard. Anyway, how do your penguins plan to defeat hippopotamuses?

Leopard seals can be almost four meters long and weigh 1300 pounds. If the penguins are too big for them to eat, then the ostriches won't even slow those penguins down.



They've found leopard seals in AUSTRALIA. With PLATYPI in their bellies.

Australia has a whole lot of coastline.
Are platypi particularly difficult to eat?

Being ill is no fun.

...Smething something vow of poverty preparation or something, I dunno. Trying to write speech for tomorrow. i despiiiise my voice/way f speaking and am bad at writing speeches. So it is... Painful.

I've heard of this 'ill' but have never felt the desire to try it. I hear it is unpleasant, you have my sympathies.

[DraPrime]

...Smething something vow of poverty preparation or something, I dunno. Trying to write speech for tomorrow. i despiiiise my voice/way f speaking and am bad at writing speeches. So it is... Painful.

Ah, but I don't have a vow of poverty. I'm diocesan; it's one of the benefits! As for writing speeches, have some Cicero.

Leopard seals can be almost four meters long and weigh 1300 pounds. If the penguins are too big for them to eat, then the ostriches won't even slow those penguins down.

Yes, but leopard seals cannot stem the inevitable land invasion. In that case, the ostrich legions will be our only hope.

[Dimonite]

Australia has a whole lot of coastline.
Are platypi particularly difficult to eat?

... I could have SWORN that said "island." Perhaps I need sleep.
I feel like platypi (platypusses? Platypeople? You know what I mean) would be difficult to eat, due to their poison spines.

[Devmaar]

... I could have SWORN that said "island." Perhaps I need sleep.
I feel like platypi (platypusses? Platypeople? You know what I mean) would be difficult to eat, due to their poison spines.

Well, a platypus is pretty small compared to a leopard seal, maybe they can just absorb the poison by sheer body mass. After all, I eat and drink a bunch of stuff that'd kill me in larger quantities.

[DraPrime]

... I could have SWORN that said "island." Perhaps I need sleep.
I feel like platypi (platypusses? Platypeople? You know what I mean) would be difficult to eat, due to their poison spines.

Perhaps the seal by chance went after a female platypus? Only the males have venom.

[Rawhide]

Platypuses, platypus, or platypodes, but not platypi.
