The following two articles are brought to you by The Times of Penguins vs. Cookies. Anyone interested in the full story is welcome to follow the continuing drama here (http://w11.zetaboards.com/New_Hyperion/topic/10742766/1/).
Following the formation of the Cookie Alliance between the Aesir Empire and the Triple Entente (now unified as Miricano), events have been occurring that would raise an eyebrow for anyone who still watches the news. To everyone who doesn't still watch the news, this may just restart your interest in the goings-on of New Hyperion.
Not much is currently known about what our leaders are up to at the moment because of all the secrecy. It's worse than the Cold War between the US and the USSR all those centuries ago. What we do know about the current situation is that Roen, the son of Prime Minister Ramos, was kidnapped from his home in Fort Bragg by a group of terrorists based within the nation.
Earlier in the week, Majority Leader Isador was found dead in a train wreck caused by an electrical failure in the rail system. At first glance, it seemed that the train wreck was the cause of death, but a closer analysis showed that the Majority Leader was shot in the head hours before the crash. This would look like the work of petty criminals if Isador wasn't opposed to Ramos. Wait, I can't see the difference...
Following this assassination of the Majority Leader, Jarl Aragonn, leader of the Aesir Empire, took a surprise trip to Port Alexandria to meet with Ramos. Their discussion was completely secret, but we assume it had something to do with the declaration of wartime preparation and cookie factories.
Afterwards, the Jarl travelled to Fort Bragg to stay for a while. But upon arrival, Roen was nowhere to be found. Nothing was found on security cameras, the guards didn't see a thing, and there were no tracks. We still don't know where the boy is being held, but we are being assured that Roen will be found and brought home alive.
Responding to the Miricanian border attacks against Colbentielle, Regent Colberius X has ordered the invasion of the Democratic Empire of Science.
This invasion, the product of heightened tensions in New Hyperion caused by the resource depletion of soft chocolate chip cookies, was announced following the revelations that Colbentiellian, and likely Laurentian, agents were behind the kidnapping of Roen Ramos, son of the Miricanian prime minister. For those not keeping up with the news, Miricano fired missiles upon Laurentian aircraft approaching Miricano airspace, which Colbentiellian missiles intercepted under the grounds that they had entered Colbentiellian airspace. Prime Minister Ramos used this incident as casus belli, launching attacks across the Miricano-Colbentielle border. Responding to these attacks, Colbentielle has released videos of Roen Ramos being held hostage by their agents.
In an official press release following the sending of surrender terms to Science, the Colbentiellian government revealed a “secret arms deal” between Miricano and Science and that the Democratic Empire “has chosen to ally itself with Miricano.” However, First Consul William Xavier of Science has responded, rejecting the surrender terms and instead framing the deal as a “collaborative research project... to advance the progress of humanity.” Consul Xavier refuted Colbentielle’s accusations of a Miricano-Science alliance, and portrayed the Colbentiellian attack on the Darwin Extremely Large Collider as a terrible atrocity against a university and thus intellectualism.
Despite the moral accusations of Science, it is easy to see that the invasion is a shrewd political move. Science’s territories provide a solid bargaining chip for an anti-Miricano alliance with nations such as Frostmark, and may provide a refuge for Colbentiellians should their homeland fall. Furthermore, with Science’s relatively nonexistent military, the conquest will likely be a cakewalk. Finally, and most importantly, it is rumored that Science is developing super-soft chocolate chip cookies, a valuable asset for any nation.
The Scientific government has declined to comment further on the situation; authorities appear to be disbanding on the fly, likely in preparation for a guerilla war. Oddly, attempts to contact the Colbentiellian government have also failed, with upper government levels appearing to be instituting a communications blackout. Political analysts suspect a coup is being attempted against the Regent, though The Times has been unable to confirm these analyses. How this international conflict plays out remains to be seen.

The billionth digit of Pi is 9. Honey does not spoil. Humans can survive underwater. But not for very long. Marie Curie invented the theory of radioactivity, the treatment of radioactivity, and dying of radioactivity. Cellular phones will not give you cancer. Only hepatitis. The Schrodinger's cat paradox outlines a situation in which a cat in a box must be considered, for all intents and purposes, simultaneously alive and dead. Schrodinger created this paradox as a justification for killing cats. In 1862, Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing the slaves. Like everything he did, Lincoln freed the slaves while sleepwalking, and later had no memory of the event. The first commercial airline flight took to the air in 1914. Everyone involved screamed the entire way. Edmund Hillary, the first person to climb Mount Everest, did so accidentally while chasing a bird. The square root of rope is string. 89% of magic tricks are not magic. Technically, they are sorcery. According to most advanced algorithms, the world's best name is Craig. William Shakespeare did not exist. His plays were masterminded in 1589 by Francis Bacon, who used a Ouija board to enslave play-writing ghosts. Diamonds are made when coal is put under intense pressure. Diamonds put under intense pressure become foam pellets, commonly used today as packing material.

While the submarine is vastly superior to the boat in every way, over 97% of people still use boats for aquatic transportation. Volcano-ologists are experts in the study of volcanoes. The plural of surgeon general is surgeons general. The past tense of surgeons general is surgeonsed general. The occupation of court jester was invented accidentally, when a vassal's epilepsy was mistaken for capering. During the Great Depression, the Tennessee Valley Authority outlawed pet rabbits, forcing many to hot glue-gun long ears onto their pet mice. An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. Contrary to popular belief, the Eskimo does not have one hundred different words for snow. They do, however, have two hundred and thirty-four words for fudge. In 1948, at the request of a dying boy, baseball legend Babe Ruth ate seventy-five hot dogs, then died of hot dog poisoning. In Victorian England, a commoner was not allowed to look directly at the Queen, due to a belief at the time that the poor had the ability to steal thoughts. Science now believes that less than 4% of poor people are able to do this.

You can't have everything. Where would you put it? If you need to get the point, sit on a tack. If you put your face in fruit drink, you may get punch in nose. Confession is good for the soul but bad for your reputation. Do not argue with the person packing your parachute. It is always wise to look ahead, but difficult to look further than you can see. If your house is burning you might as well try to stay warm. It's a good time to stop waffling. Maybe. When in charge, think. When in trouble, delegate. When in doubt, mumble. Stand up to be seen. Speak up to be heard. Shut up to be appreciated. Forgive your enemies - it really annoys them. A man's home is his castle, only less resistant to catapults. The pen is mightier than the sword, especially if properly sharpened and in the hands of a well trained ninja.

Yet a victory stolen, I believe, is that much more sweet. Yes! To snatch a victory clear fom the jaws of defeat, from the claws of another's advance, that is a victory worth holding. Yet in meer moments it too will be stolen, and another will hold it, and feel the same pride as I do now. And on, and on, and on, until luck allows one to win.
Perhaps, if I am fortunate, I may have such luck.
And that got more introspective than I intended. Ah well.

This is real life, not math. With real-life exponential decay, everything is based on probabilities; the dot could have easily disappeared at any time, at any place.
TL;DR: rounding error :P

Except for when real life variables get annoying like air resistance or things that seem to be actually random
But these things don't change too much with things on the large scale
Also, I think the probabilities makes it more annoying and complex. I don't know if I'd call that nice

From what I know, being a citizen means you are able to vote for and run for the Underhusen, who make our laws. Plus, you are able to discuss upcoming laws in the Citizens' Platform. You also get to have your Wintreath nation displayed under your username.
I'm not so intrested in politics and such, so it might be better to ask someone who's been here for longer. I'm usually just hanging out in the Dumping Grounds.

As I've said earlier, while this may seem to fit for a basic dictionary definition, "emoji" as a technical term (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoji) refers to pictographs referenced by a character set (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_encoding). (Basically. each character [letter, numeral, emoji, etc.] is represented by a number. The American standard used to be ASCII (http://www.asciitable.com/), which worked fine for the English alphabet, but nowadays we usually use Unicode (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode), which tries to represent every language in existence, including emoji. Good video on the topic, focusing on emoji, here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tITwM5GDIAI).)
In addition, a snowflake is not an emoticon. As stated in your source (http://unicode.org/faq/emoji_dingbats.html#2):
Quote
Emoticons (from “emotion” plus “icon”) are specifically intended to depict facial expression or body posture as a way of conveying emotion or attitude in e-mail and text messages.
Yeah, that was a joke. Hence the ":P".
More seriously, though, the snowflake is a pictograph implemented using the "Emoticons" feature of this particular forum.
I'd also like to add that to me at least, emoji sounds less formal than emoticon does, and thus better fit the tone I was aiming at in the initial post. However, I could be reading my sources wrong and am misusing my terminology so... oops?
(I'm gunning for a BA in English, sorry. =D I like these types of debates).
Nope, emoji and emoticon are equally formal/informal terminologies (with, as I have argued, different meanings). In fact, the two are completely unrelated etymologically (or, to use a linguistics term, they're false cognates (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_cognate)). "Emoticon" is a portmanteau of emotion and icon. On the other hand, "emoji" is a Japanese loanword originally meaning "pictograph", from e (絵, "picture") + moji (文字, "character").

Alright then, I'll concede the point regarding the definitions. =D I'll probably keep mixing the two up though, since habits are difficult to break.
However, I disagree regarding the informal/formal aspects. The connotations from emoji and emoticon for me have probably developed from the context around which I encountered each, so it's absolutely incorrect. But that's just how I read it now.
Besides, I used "emoji" in a sentence without anything to separate it from the preposition, and using "emoticon" messes with the random mid-sentence rhyming.
"Whenever we go into emoji...." "Whenever we go into emoticon...."
Emoji just seems like a funner word, all things considered! =D

I think you're right for context determining how we feel about words. For me, emoji seems perhaps more formal; after all, international standardization organizations don't deliberate what should become an emoticon or not (which is exactly what the Unicode Consortium does with emoji).

Huh. I didn't know that.
Now I'm wondering what other words people consider formal/informal depending on their initial encounter. Kinda like the difference between saying "You're welcome," "No problem," and so on in response to "Thank you."
Some people consider "you're welcome" rude because it implies the speaker is fishing for compliments. (As in, when someone does something, then sarcastically says "you're welcome," to prompt the other into saying "thank you.") Meanwhile, some consider "no problem" rude because it implies the speaker thinks the item they are being thanked for to be trivial, and they don't care about the other's thanks.
I don't remember where I read that, but talks around my family seem to support it.

Meanwhile, some consider "no problem" rude because it implies the speaker thinks the item they are being thanked for to be trivial, and they don't care about the other's thanks.
I don't remember where I read that, but talks around my family seem to support it.
In french too we sometime use our "you're welcome" sarcastically, but that doesn't mean it's rude to say it when someone said "Thank you". It's the (If speaking not writting) tone you use that define it. If you say "you're welcome" with a smile for me it mean you're happy to have helped me. So it depend of the context. :)

It was mentioned in the FAQ I linked earlier, which links to this handy page (http://www.unicode.org/emoji/) on the Unicode Emoji Subcommittee. It was also in the Tom Scott/Computerphile video I recommended, if you're interested:
Now I'm wondering what other words people consider formal/informal depending on their initial encounter. Kinda like the difference between saying "You're welcome," "No problem," and so on in response to "Thank you."

I don't remember where I read that, but talks around my family seem to support it.
What I find really interesting is that may languages have a response to "thank you" similar to "no problem", such as Spanish de nada ("of nothing"), Chinese 不客气 ("don't be polite") or 不谢 ("don't thank"), etc.

Oh, right, I've been changing it every month. I was wondering if anyone would spot it.
I had a light blue in October, a teal (I think it's called teal) in November, and a yellow in December. At least, I think I started it in October. I've got a folder sorted out with it, with a different colour theme for each season, and I'm not sure which one I began with anymore. I have put far too much thought into this.

I think a lot of us noticed (after all, people change avatars all the time); it’s just that this last change was so subtle it had us second-guessing themselves.
Title: Last post wins
Post by: Elbbsas on January 12, 2017, 10:35:56 PM
Just as planned. =D
But it was a change between yellow and green, so not as subtle as blue to teal. I guess with everyone changing avatars completely, a small colour switch is probably just going to be a "huh, moving on" moment than anything else.

Title: Last post wins
Post by: Elbbsas on May 19, 2017, 04:13:52 AM
I find that restricting a rhyme to merely the letters primarily frustrates and complicates matters of the mind. Phonemes, while cheating, are much easier to see and be and free. So yes, you can climb to a rhyme, but don't whine. It's a grinding process to find a rhyme, but I'm sure that it is streamlined and easy to get behind.
...But to be a little more serious, rhyming websites (http://www.writerhymes.com/) are amazballs (http://www.rhymezone.com/). I mean, it's no help when you go for phonemes rather than 100% strict Englishy rhyme laws, but it's good for getting ideas.

I have a kumquat tree! More accurately, my parents have a kumquat tree that has now grown moderately large...
The skin is sweet, and you can eat that raw. The actual fruit inside is quite sour, so depending on taste, you could eat the fruit whole or not eat the inside parts. Either the inside fruit or the entire thing can be used to make honey tea, which is quite soothing for a sore throat. Kumquats can also be preserved in salt (though I would not personally recommend this; my dad did this and it was terrible) or sugar for use later on.

Well, I was just going off of what the link Elb listed had said.
It's because the term in Chinese for mandarin/tangerine is used more generally to refer to orange-colored citrusy fruits, while in English it's the other way around. But as the link says, it can be translated literally as golden tangerine or golden orange.

Padma was his second-in-command; she was clever and powerful, and better yet, she hated Granger and saw Harry as a rival, which made her trustworthy. Working with Padma was making him realize the truth of the old adage that Ravenclaw was sister to Slytherin; Draco had been surprised when his father had told him it was an acceptable House for his future wife, but now he saw the sense of it.
Of course, HPMOR!Slytherin isn't stupid. Even JK Rowling starts to realize that making an entire Hogwarts House evil wasn't exactly the best idea as the series matures. I generally end to see it as Ravenclaw = knowledge for the sake of knowledge, and Slytherin = knowledge for the sake of power/some other ambitious end goal.

I picked Hufflepuff for that Hogwarts forum for a specific reason that had nothing to do with the qualities of the house, and I took a test and got Hufflepuff. But then, I looked at the qualities of the house members and took the Pottermore test and got Ravenclaw. So, I've decided that I'm Ravenclaw now!

First time I took the test, my second to last question was "heads or tails?" The next question was "Slytherin or Hufflepuff?" (I picked the 'Puffs). Then I forgot my username and made a new account, and then got Ravenclaw. Turns out that you can (http://pottermoreanalysis.tumblr.com/post/21533211514/masterpost-for-pottermore-sorting-questions) absolutely (http://bronzedragon.tumblr.com/post/19639780956/pm-q1-potionguarantee) get (http://bronzedragon.tumblr.com/post/19652671096/pm-q2-instrument) Ravenclaw (http://bronzedragon.tumblr.com/post/20712693031/pottermore-sorting-hat-question-4-subject-study) due (http://bronzedragon.tumblr.com/post/20745493268/pottermore-sorting-hat-question-5-bridge-troll) to bad luck (http://bronzedragon.tumblr.com/post/20841631750/pottermore-sorting-hat-question-5-muggle), so I'm taking that with a grain of salt.

Not sure if Pottermore is still a thing, by the time I had heard of it, I was excited to try it until I heard something about it being over or most of the features being removed or something like that.
Never was 100% on which house I belonged in despite finding out about this forum from the Hogwarts region. I wanted to say Ravenpuff, if that was an option. Gryffindor is right out, I have no bravery, or confidence, or self esteem, or much of anything good to say about myself, and I don't suspect Gryffindors often have to deal with depression. Slytherin isn't right either, I don't think "Hope that nobody secretly hates me or wants to hurt me" counts as much of an ambition, nor would surrendering easily impress Slytherins. But I think that even if I don't actually have as creative mind as I like to tell myself I have, I'll let others determine that, I do at least appreciate the knowledge and creative ideas of others, so I think that fits in well with Ravenclaw. And I think that I might be too weird for the stereotyped-as-average Hufflepuff, but I think just wanting to make friends and fit in seems like something that might qualify me still. Not sure though, I have often thought of being sorted, and have considered that instead of the Sorting Hat trying to pick Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff, it just says "Nope" and instead of one of the great tables I get sent to a poorly lit table in the back corner.

But looking at the rest of your post, I think you shouldn't sell yourself short. The four houses are a bit more than nerve, wit, just, and drive (http://pottermoreanalysis.tumblr.com/post/29570824705/the-traits-of-the-four-houses-by-request). The colours are a lot more mixed than they appear, so Ravenpuff absolutely works. Furthermore, I am highly doubtful over being "outright excluded" from any house; it's more which one you think fits you.
Plus, Ravenclaw isn't really about creativity; it's more about curiosity, wanting to explore the unknown, finding out what they don't yet know. Plus, Gryffindor isn't so much about being brave for the sake of it; it's more being passionate and standing up for what and who they believe in. Plus, Slytherin isn't so much about latching onto a specific ambition; more about "what do other people think of me" and to a greater extent "how will I be remembered?" or "what legacy do I wish to have?" Plus, Hufflepuff isn't just about being friends with everyone; they do their best to stick to the safe and reliable and avoid starting needless conflicts.
The houses are practically built to strike a chord with people. The hat isn't going to exclude you from what you connect with! And if somehow it does, I'll be willing to set it on fire -- priceless several hundred year artifact or not, if it's being a jerk it doesn't have the right to sit on eleven-year-olds' heads. =D

Hmm... I'd actually partially disagree with some of your interpretations there. And the Pottermore quiz, IMO, shouldn't be the end of how we assess House traits.
Gryffindor isn't simply about bravery or courage, true, but I think much of the motivation includes a strong drive for adventure and heroism as well as "doing the right thing." For Slytherin, I'd argue the opposite from what you said. Legacy is merely one ambition that people might want to work towards; what matters more for Slytherin is the drive to personally succeed no matter what. And for Hufflepuff, I've always placed greater emphasis on the loyalty aspect; rather than simply being friendly, Hufflepuffs are good friends, work with others well, achieve great things together, etc.

I mostly wanted to focus on the "stereotype" and go "no, that's not the full picture." The houses aren't hyper defined within the source material, after all. Plus, the Pottermore quiz was made by JK. Yes, it shouldn't be the end-all, but it's another place people can draw their information on.
You have a good point regarding Slytherin. I always saw them as people working to being seen in a particular light, but that does still fit under the umbrella of "ambition." Hm. I'm not fond of that conclusion.
Gryffindor, however, I disagree with. I don't think adventure and the desire to be a hero is a purely Gryffindor thing -- I'd honestly picture that as Slytherin (well, more the "hero" part. The adventure part still holds, but being a hero seems more "ambitious" than "brave" to me). Gryffindor's more the house of passions than heroics, in my opinion, it's just that the former has a tendency to lead into the latter. (And then Harry and every other person in the source material get a hefty bias thanks to all the heroes seeming to come from Gryffindor XD).
With Hufflepuff though, I am strongly biased towards that house so I didn't want to toot my own horn, so to speak. Hufflepuff always ends up reading to me as "Look, we are the house of the good people" for some strange reason. =P Still, I place more emphasis on conflict avoidance/solving than anything else -- though the loyal/friend part is still important.

JK Rowling being directly related to the Sorting Hat quiz does lend it some weight, but I still wouldn't consider it authoritative, especially since we're doing meta-analysis on what probably isn't the most serious game. And Death of the Author and all that, especially with how biased Rowling still seems against Slytherin.
For Slytherin, I just don't think characterizing them as image-obsessed is too accurate. Generally, their image and reputation is still often the means to another goal.
I agree with you there on Gryffindor. I just thought that your statement was a bit too oversimplified, but now that I see that you were trying to combat the standard House stereotypes it makes far more sense.

It was disappointing at first that the author make it look so blatantly Good vs. Evil. With two Neutral/Goodish alternatives that didn't get mentioned much in the first few books except for when they needed to lose at Quidditch and the House Cup. Since I look for it now, I notice all the time in books in other media, and consider it to be poor writing when the designated antagonists have their "Look at me, I'm being evil!" scenes just to remind you who is good or bad. If the story is well written, that isn't necessary. It's especially bad in far too many movies where the protagonist's morality is questionable, but there is a limited amount of time to establish who the main bad person is, so they have to use that time to go around kicking puppies or something so you don't question at the end if the protagonist was actually the main bad person all along, because at least they were less bad than the antagonist. It's fortunate that Harry Potter's author started to fix that near the end. Horace Slughorn the good Slytherin and Cormac McLaggen the evil Gryffindor, with no doubt that they still belonged in their respective houses. It was pretty blatant why they suddenly started existing at the same time, but I'm okay with that, it's as if it was a statement of honesty that an error was made and this was a step to correct that. Unfortunate that those who only watched the movies never found out that many Slytherins fought against Voldemort at the Battle of Hogwarts in the end.

The books were originally made for children. Further, they were JK's first books (I think?). If there wasn't a major flaw like that, chances are we'd end up with a flaw elsewhere.
Besides, I'm in it for the delicious world building and stealthy foreshadows. I'll take some antagonistic designation if I can have that. Especially since I can easily shift from "ew the author is biased" to "ew the character is biased." He was eleven, for goodness sake!
Regarding the "hey lookit me" scenes in general, they do have their place. Show versus tell is very difficult to balance, after all.
You can always casually have the "bad guy' say some lines that hints that when they say "edit line three" they mean "forge evidence bwah ha ha." But, there is always the risk that people don't pick up on it and take it as foreshadowing after the reveal instead of a noen sign label of THIS ONE IS THE BAD GUY and the reveal was just them being a bit more obvious. And then there's the risk that people abruptly put the character into Leather Pants because they can easily ignore or excuse those neon signs. Granted, the latter happens anyway.
Or, you could outright tell the reader "The chanceller was evil, of course, but the King didn't agree and the common folk too concerned witu day-to-day life to care." But that's telling, that's "bad writing," and people want you to prove it. And so, kicking puppies ensue.
N: all the quotes came from my brain, unless I subconsciously stole them.

I remember someone (it might have been Eliezer Yudkowsky, who'd written Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality, which often makes fun of HP's plotholes/idiot balls/etc.) saying how good children's books take a special talent to write that most writers would find incredibly difficult to achieve. There has to be a balancing of simple and complex, so that children can understand the core meaning yet everyone can appreciate the more nuanced layers beneath.

It feels so weird, in that map topic, seeing a map with all these different nations on it, and not being able to recognize any of them, even though supposedly that's a Wintreath map. Then I realized that that may be the answer to why it looked like some random new people had an opinion on it for no reason. It's like there's two different Wintreath groups then? One that is on the "RMB", which I'm guessing means Regional Message Bulletins, from the NS site, and the other is this forum? Not sure if anyone on the forum also uses the RMB, I ignore it because it's basically chaos and every time I look the subject is changed and there's no easy way to keep track of who is who, but apparently there's a large group on there who don't use the forum? Seems weird to me, last two regions I had that had activity, it was the same group on both, this is new, getting the impression that it's two separate communities in one region. Probably also explains why when I tried out the Wintreath chat room earlier, I left immediately because I thought maybe the link was wrong and I was in the wrong place, because I didn't recognize any of the names there as anyone on this forum. Probably just the RMB Wintreath group in that?

I guess so. Personally, I find the RMB hard to "navigate" (to borrow a word I've seen those folks say about these forums, because symmetry! =D). And by "navigate" I mean it is hard to use thanks to the things you mentioned.
I used to try to follow it (it was good for news and the like), and then suddenly there was an RP going on there? And there was no way of finding out where it began, who is involved, and so on and so on? Kudos to them for making an RP there and keeping it active, though.

Yeah, internal recruitment, ie getting RMB folks to join the forums, is often quite hard. Especially since they often see the RMB as perfectly fine.

Nah. It's just that many of the IRC/Discord regulars are more active there than here, or used to be more active on the forums but aren't anymore. They generally overlap more with the forums than the RMB though. Also, some of them go by different names.

Ahhh, username typos. Bad memories of the time when I spent entirely too long once trying to figure out if someone saying "Athlea" was talking to me. Searched the region (Not Wintreath at the time) for nations with that name, searched the forum both for that name, and to see if anyone even had a name that was closer to Athlea than I did. Then I searched to see if Athlea meant anything, which it does, a company uses that name and it's a person name, if a very rare one, which was really confusing since it started to convince me that it wasn't a typo and maybe if not a username that someone's real name is Athlea. Turns out they were talking to me and it was a typo, possibly the lazy intentional kind. And apparently I could have just asked, rather than doing extensive useless research. Somehow I never think to just ask.

Could it be that you were afraid of looking stupid if you replied back and it wasn't meant for you? Like when you think someone's waving at you and you wave back, but turns out they were waving at someone else?

TIME TO NECRO SOME OLD ASS SHIT OUT OF BOREDOM AND A DESIRE TO DO ANYTHING BUT WRITE MY PAPER
It feels so weird, in that map topic, seeing a map with all these different nations on it, and not being able to recognize any of them, even though supposedly that's a Wintreath map. Then I realized that that may be the answer to why it looked like some random new people had an opinion on it for no reason. It's like there's two different Wintreath groups then? One that is on the "RMB", which I'm guessing means Regional Message Bulletins, from the NS site, and the other is this forum? Not sure if anyone on the forum also uses the RMB, I ignore it because it's basically chaos and every time I look the subject is changed and there's no easy way to keep track of who is who, but apparently there's a large group on there who don't use the forum?
wow okay one, ouch, one of them was me, so, again, ouch two, yes, you're right about there being a disconnect between the forums and the RMB for some inconceivable reason; oddly that's existed for at least a year, since a couple of those names have in fact been around that long, and just stepped up their activity for some reason. But prior to this, me, Ashton, and Justinian (among others but those are the more recognizable names who were involved) were involved in it, so there was a degree to which it was not so much disconnected as just running in parallel - but then those other guys got into it. And have dug their claws in deep. which leads to three, wherein i've given up on it at this point myself, hence this dark necromantic ritual i'm performing to revive this long-forgotten subject matter to explain let's be honest bitch about it

Overall, I'd give Off a 6/10 as a sexual partner. Adequate if unenthusiastic oral. Highlight was the last 10 seconds or so, although much of the preceding 7.2 minutes was solid enough. Would do again, but really that would be the case for anyone with a score above negative numbers.
Shit: awarded negative points as a food, but would still scarf down a whole wet bucket full of shit before I ate another plate of mee krob (http://southpark.cc.com/clips/152630/mee-krob).

Wait, other people snagged the RMB RP from you? Could you continue to snarl on what happened, because I've been attempting to follow what's happening and I missed that completely.
(Also, why isn't there an adequately heated and angered synonym for "bitch" in this context? It is highly frustrating).
Title: Last post wins
Post by: Doc on October 03, 2017, 10:29:27 PM
It's not snagged, so much as joined and then took it in a direction that, progressively, Justinian, Ashton, then myself have sort of just given up on. It's a lot of macho dick-waving, increasingly obvious references to video games that honestly began really obviously so at this point it's blatant 'I have Pelicans, from Halo, the award-winning first-person-shooter video game', and just generally a complete 180 from the fairly realist RP we'd aggressively pursued since Ainur. This was not helped by Finrod dropping off the map several months ago, or others (the nominally-present-on-the-forums-insofar-as-they-signed-up Aceus Hovda and Lily Polisesul) doing the same thing on the RMB. And so we've just sort of quietly given up, which I imagine is partially motivated by schoolwork for them and mostly motivated by a jaded lack of desire to keep saying 'no, mechs are impractical tools for warfare and we certainly won't have them anytime in the near future' or 'video game things like orbital drop shock troopers, from Halo, the award-winning first-person-shooter video game, are dumb and impractical things that exist only because they sound cool and it's a fucking video game'. Also I'm annoyed by the fact that they seem to have decided that rather than trying to be an arbiter for the rules that we laid out, I am instead just a 'ball buster' that comes up literally the moment I criticize, no matter how much or on what grounds said criticism occurs.

I think so... I won it by winning the monthly recruitment contest, and I think the Steam key came with a DLC

The din of battle filled the messy air, mixing with the smoke and bloody mist. Last Post hill was by now more a mountain with barely an inch of bare ground visible over the thick layers of decomposing corpses and their scattered equipment. It was a bloody melee with no clear battle lines as at least three factions fought to plant their flag at the summit of the deadly hill. On this particular day, one brave soldier supporting his lord Fortis shoved a rival down into the meat grinder and planted the ripped and torn flag of his master on the corpse choked hill. Victory was for the moment, his, but for how long?

I've gone against my Sultan, the highest act of treason. But I had good intentions! I did it for a reason! They'll kill me if I'm lucky (they'll torture me if not). What made me think that I could get away with such a plot? It's not too late to bring it back; perhaps I'll be forgiven...! But if my crime can help improve the world we all must live in.... Am I not bound by duty to the people of this nation?
How does the Golden Rule apply in such a situation?
As a citizen, I think I would be grateful for the aid, but if I were the Sultan, I should hate to be betrayed. Whichever road I take I'll be incuring someone's wrath! 'Til now I've always traveled down the straight and narrow path. Temptation may have beckoned, but I always have resisted, but which way do I turn when the road's become so... so....
Twisted?
Who are you?
A fellow traveler down a twisted path.
I know you, from Sherrezade's stories!
Uh-uh-uh! You think you know me, as others think they know you. But there are two sides to every story. I used to be the ruler of the ocean. I was benevolent, and always kept my word. But my brother held the antiquated notion that women should be seen and never heard. So he dethroned me then disowned me and on top of that? Rezoned me to the outskirts of the kingdom in a cave. Took my scepter and my crown, though I tried to take him down, the truth and I now share a watery grave...!
The story lingers on, but the version that is drawn is twisted.
A pain I know all too well. The pride had never seen a more progressive king than me. Both lion and hyena lived in perfect harmony. I brought an end to what had been a senseless age-old feud. I was prepared for anything except for what ensued! My brother ate my heirs—my precious cubs—and stole my throne, returned to segregation and the hateful ways we'd known. Though I'd advocate for unity I always was denounced! So when I saw an opportunity to right the wrong... I pounced!
The pride came before my fall in a fate that one might call, well, twisted. They weren't ready for my ideas.
No, they didn't hate you because of your ideas. They hated you because of that evil-looking scar on your face. Fortune favors the beautiful.
Au contraire! My only crime was love. In town there was only she who was as beautiful as me... on the inside. But then, tragedy struck! She was taken hostage in a castle filled with... demonic furniture. So I did what anyone would do and I organized a rescue mission. But how was I to know that she had fallen in love... with her captor? To me, that doesn't seem entirely healthy. Especially since he's a wolf, bear, thing. A buffalo monster! In a cape!
But the heart wants what it wants! And sometimes what it wants is twisted...!
I only wished to reclaim what was mine! I only wished for equal rights for all! I only wished to save her! I only wished to be invited to the party. I only wished to improve relations between the races! I only wished to teach the boy responsibility...! I only wished to give the people a voice! ...So he wouldn't end up like me! I only wished to love her! To help the miserable, lonely, and depressed! To be included. To live in harmony! For once! I never knew my father!
I only wished for justice! I only wished for love! I only wished for freedom! I only wished for peace! I only wished for justice! I only wished for love! I only wished for freedom! I only wished for peace! I only wished! I only wished! I only wished! I only wished—!
I only wished to have a coat made out of puppies!
You're not helping! Disregard that.
It's an unfortunate situation. But... you do have a choice.
What remains of a man when that man is dead and gone? Only memories and stories of his deeds will linger on. But if a man's accomplishments aren't in the tale they tell are the deeds that go unheralded his legacy as well? If a war breaks out tomorrow, we'll all have hell to pay. Why protect my reputation? I'm a dead man either way....
How will they tell my story? How will they tell my tale? Will anybody even care? The question then is whether 'tis nobler in the mind to be well-liked but ineffectual, or moral but maligned? I'll never be a hero who all the citizens adore, but if I hide to save my life, what has my life been for? What has my life been for?
The road ahead may twist, but I will never swerve! I'll give them all the unsung antihero they deserve. I've nothing left to lose! So the only path to choose is twisted. Let them twist my words, let the people scorn me. Who cares if no one will ever mourn me!? Let them bury the side of the story they'll never learn! Let the truth be twisted, let my life be twisted.
I'll be twisted, it's my turn! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKWt-4FBjHY)

I am that merry wanderer of the night! I jest to Oberon and make him smile When I a fat and bean-fed horse beguile, Neighing in likeness of a filly foal: And sometime lurk I in a gossip’s bowl, In very likeness of a roasted crab, And when she drinks, against her lips I bob And on her wither’d dewlap pour the ale. The wisest aunt, telling the saddest tale, Sometime for three-foot stool mistaketh me; Then slip I from her bum, down topples she, And ‘tailor’ cries, and falls into a cough; And then the whole quire hold their hips and laugh, And waxen in their mirth and neeze and swear A merrier hour was never wasted there!

A Almost simultaneous win in this and Town of Salem. Too bad the latter was once again posthumous though it was interesting being a Bodyguard for the first time. I played that game instead of paying attention to the video in my art history class because it was a boring one imo: the "discovery" of the Minoans before and after WW1.

The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
Wirtlich?
The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. They have greatly increased the Iffe-expectancy of those of us who live in "advanced" countries, but they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the natural world. The continued development of technology will worsen the situation. It will certainly subject human being to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world, it will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering even in "advanced" countries. 2. The industrial-technological system may survive or it may break down. If it survives, it MAY eventually achieve a low level of physical and psychological sutfering, but only after passing through a long and very painful period of adjustment and only at the cost of permanently reducing human beings and many other living organisms to engineered products and mere cogs in the social machine. Furthermore, if the system survives, the consequences will be inevitable: There is no way of reforming or modifying the system so as to prevent it from depriving people of dignity and autonomy. 3. If the system breaks down the consequences will still be very painful. But the bigger the system grows the more disastrous the results of its breakdown will be, so if it is to break down it had best break down sooner rather than later. 4. We therefore advocate a revolution against the industrial system. This revolution may or may not make use of violence; it may be sudden or it may be a relatively gradual process spanning a few decades. We can't predict any of that. But we do outline in a very general way the measures that those who hate the industrial system should take in order to prepare the way for a revolution against that form of society. This is not to be a POLITICAL revolution. Its object will be to overthrow not governments but the economic and technological basis of the present society. 5. In this article we give attention to only some of the negative developments that have grown out of the industrial-technological system. Other such developments we mention only briefly or ignore altogether. This does not mean that we regard these other developments as unimportant. For practical reasons we have to confine our discussion to areas that have received insufficient public attention or in which we have something new to say. For example, since there are well-developed environmental and wilderness movements, we have written very little about environmental degradation or the destruction of wild nature, even though we consider these to be highly important.

I remember that I used to misread taulover's name as being similar to "it's all over", but with letters missing, like how USA Southerners refuse to say the g at the end of words for some reason, so it would be like... it's all over -> t'aul'over -> taulover. But apparently it was just something about tau.
Anyway, I think I agree with that. Pi is nonsense. There is only tau and half tau.

Post by: Aethelia on April 26, 2024, 02:06:45 PM
I solved the mystery! The one that was about my own thoughts and that probably nobody else cared about, but I am going to tell you anyway.
I remembered that a long time ago I played Final Fantasy 6. This was back when it was called 3. Which is important because has since been re-translated, and this no longer applies to the most recent version.
There is a enemy called "Allo Ver". It is an undead enemy. Fitting, because it is a play on "All Over". I guess they did not like it though, they changed it to "Death Warden" later.
Apparently that unconsciously stuck with me. I saw another name that ended in "over" and read it in a similar way. That is why I read "taulover" as "it's all over" instead of "tau lover" for however long I was a part of this region. Because of a single encounter in Final Fantasy 6 two decades earlier.

There's an NS Poll now. "How do you pronounce "Wintreath"?" https://www.nationstates.net/page=poll/p=311501
I was disappointed that all 5 options have the first syllable as "Win". I'm pretty sure that the correct pronunciation has "Wint" as the first syllable.
Wintreath is short for "winter wreath". I should say that again with colors to make it obvious: Wintreath is short for "winter wreath". The T is in the first part. So I have always said it as WINT-reeth. So I can't answer that poll because the correct option is not there.
