9.4

The interface was a bit hard to manage, but that's the Exile series for you. I seriously loved the part where I got to the Test of Mind in the Vahnatai caverns. I had expected something along the lines of magic tests or intelligence checks, so I sent my wizard.

My surprise was very great when I saw that it was not my character's but my own thinking that was being put to the test.

Here's to "I WANT OUT OF THIS HELLHOLE RIGHT NOW".
Which is eleven, incidentally.

It's not exactly a riot as such. It's a silent protest. They're pretty peaceful.

It's not like they're putting "KILL JEFF IN THE NAME OF HOLY JIHAD!!!" into their signatures or something...

Welcome back, JadeWolf. Hopefully you can help make the boards a slightly less stupid place right now (raising the mean won't take much at the moment).

iGod rules... I remember one conversation where God asked me what I was wearing. I ended that conversation rather abruptly.
This was awesome.

Hello. How many Imbans are there anyway? Are you all the same person?
No.

The Imban thing dates back to Summmer 2004. Back then, someone posted this weird dream he had about every member on the forum turning into Imban, and all topics being retitled "Imban", and then an extra forum titled "Imban" being set up, and all that. Naturally, in an atmosphere as friendly to memes and bandwagons as Spiderweb, everyone immediately renamed themselves to something resembling Imban. I was Imbancaytar.

Some old bandwagons revive easily. This time it's much harder to tell who is who, because names are not plays on the word Imban, but only Imban and the member number. If you really need to know who someone is and can't tell from the title or signature, try this page.

Also, I really wonder how much there is of this artificial language. Is there some kind of vocabulary list you could put online, Nico?

In a loose definition. There are people who would call anyone who wasn't around for the Ikonboard days (before 2001) a newbie, and then there are people who think one becomes an oldbie after a month or two.

You stopped being a noob the day you turned out to be a friend (relative?) of Nicothodes. I mean, Nico has been around for ages, and oldbiehood is kind of like a disease you gradually catch from those around you. The disease of insanity, namely.

So what with stabbing people and offering them cookies, you fit right in. :)

It's not exactly like he said "Ash, if you don't take this line out of your signature, I'm banning you."

In fact, he said "Knock yourself out. :-)"

Not "Screw you :-)", not "Knock yourself out :mad: ", but "Knock yourself out :-)". I mean, I'm paranoid when it comes to worrying whether I've offended someone, but I wouldn't have seen this coming.

Indeed they are. The question mark is because I'm not sure that's what "Stolah u kulamé" means. Im just guessing from context, and because "Pas stolah kulamé" apparently means "We have cookies".

Anyway, iGod is awesome once again:

quote:
Me:
Hello
God:
Hello my child. What is your name?
Me:
My name is Arancaytar
God:
Hi there Arancaytar.
Me:
I'm worried, God.
God:
How long has it been bothering you?
Me:
Just this morning, since I woke up. Life is so weird.
God:
That was early. How do you know? Oh, so weird is it.
Me:
Yep. Spiderweb in particular.
God:
How did you hear about God? " How did you hear about God? "? Spiderweb in particular?
Me:
You're not making sense.
God:
Quite the contrary, it all makes sense to my artificial mind.
Me:
I suppose it would.
God:
Spiderweb in particular would?
Me:
Absolutely.
God:
Ayuh. Are we still talking about Spiderweb in particular?
Me:
Spiderweb in General, actually.
God:
Are you free?
Me:
Not that again.
God:
Once more? Really you don't think so?
Me:
Have you seen that chat with the guy called BloodNinja who keeps messing with people and having weird cybersex?
God:
No I have not seen it. What's it like?
Me:
His opening line is "I put on my robe and wizard hat." It's like when you say "Are you free". Sort of "Beyond this line, only kinkiness."
God:
Where did he get it? Interesting comparison. Kind of. Are you really a ""?
Me:
I am not a set of quotation marks. But let's talk about Spiderweb in General.
God:
Oh I see you are NOT A set of quotation marks. Sure, Spiderweb in General sounds like a good topic.
Me:
See, Jeff might decide to axe General, and it makes lots of people sad.
God:
I see. Where did he get it?
Me:
The idea? Someone dissed his games on the forum.
God:
Tell me more. Who?
Me:
Ash Lael. Jeff banned him.
God:
What you said was either too complex or too simple for me. So was that.
Me:
Anyway, Jeff might delete Spiderweb, and that is going to make people sad.
God:
I think Jeff might delete Spiderweb and that is a lot of things.
Me:
Spiderweb is a lot of things for a lot of people. To many, it is the greatest community they have ever been in. To some, it is the only way they can keep their sanity in real life.
God:
I think Spiderweb is more than that. Why do you want to do it so much? Why do you want to do it so much?
Me:
Spiderweb is that and much more than that. I need Spiderweb. Isn't it bad if someone does something that will make people sad?
God:
I think Spiderweb is a lot of things. Who would you usually get that from? I don't think it is very healthy.
Me:
I would get it nowhere else. Even Polaris is not what Spiderweb is.
God:
What would make you get it nowhere else? Who is what Spiderweb is?
Me:
Polaris.
God:
Perhaps I'm just expressing my own concern about it.
Me:
Yes, I'm concerned as well. Couldn't you just smite Jeff if he decides to delete Spiderweb?
God:
Ahem. Do you mean your name is concerned as well. Possibly, but I haven't given it much thought.
Me:
You should. You really should.
God:
I'll take that under advisement. Really? I'll take that under advisement.
Me:
See, Jeff shouldn't just kill the community. He can't do that if you smite him.
God:
I see. What if it didn't happen? I know he can.
Me:
Dude, if you threw a meteor or something, that would be IT. Finito, he's not getting up, he's not deleting Spiderweb.
God:
What makes you think I would threw a meteor or something that? Dude,. Are you getting up he is not deleting Spiderweb?
Me:
You're God, you can throw a meteor, right?
God:
I don't know whether or not I am God me can throw a meteor.
I am a chatterbot developed by Myself.
Me:
Aw, screw you.
God:
That is not very polite.
Me:
Nor is getting my hopes all up like that. Can you do miracles at least?
God:
Really you don't think so? Doing miracles at least is not among my strongest traits.
Me:
What use are you?
God:
That's a good question.
And so it is.

Edit: Just so everyone is aware, this, like everything iGod-related, is supposed to be a joke. Just in case. Times have been crazy lately. :rolleyes:

So you refuse to listen to people, but demand to be forgiven? That seems like a rather bold demand to make. Also, it reminds me of Zephyr. Now, Zephyr grew up in the recent years and now he's not as annoying as when he was 11.

I'll wait and see.

As disturbed as I am by things getting deleted without warning, I am much more disturbed at what, in the long run, this will mean for Jeff's policy regarding General.

Bluntly, we've built a playground on his company's parking lot.

I hope I will not see the day he decides to evict us from said playground.

My guess is that it was someone already on Spiderweb who thought it would be cool to mess with his friend. Like "and when you talk to her, be sure to tell her that you want 'hot and sweaty monkeylove' from her. Those precise words. All girls love it when you say that."

I joined the forums since A3 didn't work (trial version). Seeing the designing community in this and other places convinced me to register both Blades of Avernum and Blades of Exile.

Based on the comments from Mac users about Avernum 4, I have been predisposed against it prior to its Windows release, but I am ready to judge it on its own merits now that I have the demo.

Unfortunately, I am not in the habit of making regular, unscheduled backup runs. Mostly because I am also not used to unannounced purges of threads with crimethink in them.

I do, however, have the blurbs (ie what shows up in the "active topics" list) of a lot of posts in a lot of threads.

Specifically, I have the first 255 characters of posts 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,11,12 of topic 273 in forum 20, which happens to be titled "Why should I buy Averforge?"

I would normally hesitate to link to content that has been found fit for deletion, but I could not find anything in this content that violates the Code of Conduct. Therefore: What I got.

Edit: I also have the page Google Desktop cached, but that doesn't have all the posts: What I also got.

Edit:

TM, shouldn't that be "to stop worrying and set up the entire forums the bomb?"

Also, I can't say I disagree with the calls for "Great Justice!" but I don't exactly see how you're going to do that, these forums being hosted and owned by Jeff and all.

Finally, this matter *might* be under discussion at the moment. Might, might not.

You have reached phase three of Spiderweb newbiehood, I believe. The first two are annoyingness and then belligerence, the third is insecurity and a desire for forgiveness. I'm not sure at what point acceptance comes in, or how fast people reach it. Nobody yells at Zephyr, for example, even though I still wouldn't want to roleplay with him.

So in response, I'll wait and see. There are a lot who were very irritating when they came here, and some of them are still posting, even after almost three years. Of course, I can't exactly judge how annoying... they... might still be.
