How to Random Banter:
General rules and guidelines of the Random Banter Thread

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.

Anyone found breaking the rules will be sent to stand in the corner and receive a very stern talking to!

Alliteration?

It's alliteration. When I first made a Random Banter thread (#149, incidentally), it seemed to be a trend to alliterate the title with one's username. So I'm continuing it.

New thread! Thanks Skepp.

You're welcome. *accepts tea*

My, what an appealingly alluring application of alliteration.

Hi Ele.



Alliteration?

I almost fell asleep just now. The other players of Munchkin Chthulu said I was playing my turns in a dreaming voice and it does not go with tentacles and please do not do that again. I will take some tea please.

[Elemental]

New thread! Huzzah!
*waltzes to Shostakovich*
I like the alliteration. Good work.

Hi Ele.

Now, that's just confusing. I've been on for a while!


In other news: I was supposed to have taken Mynxae out to lunch today for his birthday, and he hasn't shown up at my house yet... I am genuinely concerned, and also depressed. This isn't like him at all.

[DraPrime]

Oh, DP, you sound like me now. And yes, what's it about? Inquiring minds want to know...

Hop on it, DP! And what is it about?

Truth. I know, that's kind of a given for a philosophy paper, but it's mostly about whether truth is primarily in the mind or in things, and what it means when you say it is in either. It's not that bad, but there's six pages (double spaced) to go.

And I still haven't started yet. Starcraft is just too much fun.

*waves at*

What's up? Eureka area has decent enough air; won't kill the population is I set a fire 10 miles away.

Now, that's just confusing. I've been on for a while!

Oh, right. Heh.

That is unfortunate. If he does appear, give him my greeting and burfday wishes.

[LaZodiac]

Alliteration?

Yes! That's it, forgot how to spell it XP

[Dimonite]

*gavottes*

From last thread:

Sigh, I wish I still had such boots. I had as a kid, and they were awesome, but such boots are really expensive when adult-sized...

Still, my current winter boots melt the snow which end up on them, and they aren't waterproof...

Aw, those boots don't sound fantastic at all.

...I owe more replies than this, don't I? I'll probably feel guilty about not getting to those later, but I am dog tired right now. Just finished the last show (and, more relevant to my tiredness, the set strike) of God of Carnage. Not a great crowd for the last night - apparently only about half of the seats sold. That's especially bad when you consider the fact that we pretty much sold out all the other nights. Anyway, the set strike was tiring, my back hurts more than ever, and I still have homework to do for tomorrow whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

Damn, dude. You should get on that before you just rush it out in an hour.

Yes! That's it, forgot how to spell it XP

Get a spell-checker?

[Elemental]

Well... It's three thirty in the afternoon, Mynxae said he'd try to be here by eleven. I haven't heard a word from him or received a single message.
I think he's forgotten the whole thing and gone off to do something else and now I feel depressed.

[DraPrime]

Damn, dude. You should get on that before you just rush it out in an hour.

*looks at three sentences written so far*

I think I'm gonna go brew more coffee. It's late. It's time to get on this Thomism essay.

Solution? Eat a pizza. He will arrive right as you finish it. Law of the universe.

Sadness. : (

Truth is objectively subjective, so.... Both?

Awwww. I was playing Total War as Poland, but i coulda Crafted!

Say what now?

Awwww. I was playing Total War as Poland, but i coulda Crafted!

Poland is fun in TW. I enjoyed taking Calcutta with a massive group of winged hussars. Fun stuff. Also, we should do Starcraft, if you aren't too high above me in skill. Where are you on the ladder?

[Elemental]

*looks at three sentences written so far*

I think you should just throw the coffee beans on the fire and hope that that caffeinates the air for you.

Sadness. : (

Alas, Mynxae is rather ill today, so I doubt any amount of pizza, however delicious, could summon him.

I'm alright now that Mynxae's explained everything. I do hope he will be well enough to have lunch tomorrow.

[DraPrime]

I think you should just throw the coffee beans on the fire and hope that that caffeinates the air for you.

I could also just eat them. According to a friend of mine who used to work in a coffee shop, eating the beans will wake you up. He used to just pop a few in his mouth whenever he thought he might be falling asleep on the job. Though I do wonder if I added smoked coffee grounds with tobacco in my pipe if I would actually get caffeine. I feel like getting it via inhalation would be quite unusual.

Hmm... I believe it is possible to smoke coffee... Though I suggest looking that up first as I only heard about it by reading an Encyclopaedia Brown book.

[LaZodiac]

Get a spell-checker?

I have one, but it doesn't explicitly tell me how to spell it unless I'm close enough, and I did not get close enough.

[Mutant Sheep]

Say what now?

I dunno. I just wanted to say it.

Its way too easy. My Ottoman game was one crisis after the other. Poland game? Crushed Prussia and Sweden by 1719, moved onto France and the Ottomans, now im in Italy and its barely 1730. It took me forever just to get Venice as the Ottomans, and by the time I did the Spanish were pushing into Egypt and I was worrying about India.

I think silver, havent played ladder in a while. I best the elite comp almost every time, but thats because my build just seems to get them at perfect times. xD

Who controls North America? I had a spectacular maneuver against France. For whatever reason they had seized almost all of North America (Britain was only in the Caribbean), so I made a massive invasion fleet and swept the continent, while holding my cities that bordered with France. The result was that the French lost an enormous amount of income with the loss of all their colonies, and I was able to steamroll them in Europe.

Hmmmm, silver. I could work with that. I've recently gotten back in, and currently I'm on the upper end of bronze, clawing my way up as I try to get my Protoss skills back up to speed.

Its the British with the East Coast (Minus Florida and Newfoundland), rest is either up-for-grabs Frenchlandia or Spanish. Cherokee are in Kentucky, Iroquois still alive. Inuit are a thing, I think.
When I was the Ottomans, the British and the French were allies most of the game, I dont think they ever warred each other. British took non-Louisiana America, French took the rest. And the Persians lived in Corsica and New Mexico. (Spain was a thing, so Texas and beyond was them. My favorite part about that game was either taking Paris and Moscow within two years of each other (my only ally through the game was Prussia. Lategame, I got Mysore during a brief ceasefire with India, but they got eaten in a turn) or my crossdressing 70 year old assassin with a pet monkey.

Really, I could be wood league, I dont know. I dont do actual ladder. I tend to kill two of the opponents in a Free For All only to get swept by mass air though.

Take those colonies. The AI never seems to expect it, and they're usually poorly defended. Though sometimes it'll pull an insane move. At one point the Mughals sent a massive invasion fleet into the northwestern territories of Canada. This was sent all the way from India.

Really, I could be wood league, I dont know. I dont do actual ladder. I tend to kill two of the opponents in a Free For All only to get swept by mass air though.

Take those colonies. The AI never seems to expect it, and they're usually poorly defended. Though sometimes it'll pull an insane move. At one point the Mughals sent a massive invasion fleet into the northwestern territories of Canada. This was sent all the way from India.

If I was ever capable of getting a navy, I'd try. I sent out one Indiaman after taking Finland? First, three British sloops. I run. French Fifth rates. I flee. Then, four galleons come in to chase it, ALL IN THE SAME TURN. Just sailing to South America, about to get to the yellow-travel-box, and they all hunt me even though the British and the French/Spanish are at war with each otheeeer. Now that I've killed France, its just Spain Britain and the Venetians in Greece and Algiers.
The Indians landed half a dozen invasion forces in Northern Anatolia in my Ottoman game, because i managed to give Afhhanistan away. Freaked me out first two times.

I found that taking some of the Baltic ports provided me with good places from which to produce a large fleet. Just be willing to take a long time to make it, because once you bring across an enormous invasion fleet into North America, it'll be a lot of fun. Landing in Boston or Philadelphia is a solid move when sailing from Europe.

If you play against me in 1v1 then your WoL account will briefly get upgraded to HoTS for that one match.

edit: Just realized I need your character code to add you. If you want to just add me, mine is 341.

I could also just eat them. According to a friend of mine who used to work in a coffee shop, eating the beans will wake you up. He used to just pop a few in his mouth whenever he thought he might be falling asleep on the job. Though I do wonder if I added smoked coffee grounds with tobacco in my pipe if I would actually get caffeine. I feel like getting it via inhalation would be quite unusual.

Dude. Chocolate-covered coffee beans. It is mankind's best invention.

And I guess it would wake you up. It's caffeine, after all. But that's not why we eat it. We eat it because we have to it's delicious!


Also: hello new thread. Wow 50 pages are going to feel so short now.

Oh yeah, at the end of my Ottoman game, the only countries left were me, Quebec, Gran Colombia, India, Prussia, and... I think Morocco and the Inuit were still around. The U.S. Wouldn't get along with Quebec, so I smashed the Consitution and ate Philedelphia. I mean, India was attacking Persia like mad, but a few forts and line infantry legions make the AI nervous with their legions of elephants. (I made my navy in France though. All those docks at the Channel, man. I almost let Ireland be a thing, but then i realized it was going to be a top 15 provinces, and took it back. I generally let the independent countries be a thing, if they realize protecterate status is GOOD when i AM that whole Theatre.)

Yeah, but from my experience it only lets you be terran. I'm zeeeeeerg.

Mine is 480. I think. If not, check starcraft thread, it should be in there.

[Feytalist]

Heh. I'm playing Starcraft again. Like, Starcraft 1. The campaign. It's still good
