Breaking the code of conduct by avoiding filters is a great way to promote change!

Misc. was closed precisely because Spiderweb couldn't handle the space and bandwidth issues of massive amounts of worthless posts. Most people don't want such quantities of garbage anyway. If you do, I invite you to join satellite boards or find another corner of the internet that will welcome your spamming proclivities. Spidweb doesn't.

—Alorael, who finds melancholy reminiscing about Misc. entertaining when the reminiscer joined after the section was axed. If you didn't meet pointless polls face to face, don't talk about the joys of Misc.

If I had changed my moniker as often as I do from the day I joined, I would have well over a thousand. I only started a little less than a year ago, though, so it's lower.

All the guesses have been wrong so far, for what that's worth.

—Alorael, who will even be generous and give a cookie to anyone who comes within ten monikers. And another cookie to anyone who can name the monikers he's had for two or more days!

I haven't been around here for a long while, but I've been playing A3 over the past week or two, so I thought I might try and reestablish myself (doubtless I'll end up failing... :rolleyes: )... So what's been happening? :D Anyone remember me? At all?
I was thinking of discarding the name ørangutan, since I haven't used it since I stopped coming here... maybe...

I'll try and register BoA next, I think... it's been sitting around on my harddrive doing nothing since I completed VoDT. :P I want to play people's scenarios...

I also notice there's a Geneforge 3 out- wow! :D And plans for an Avernum 4? cool :D
I never really got into Geneforge 1 or 2 though so I'm not really sure about 3....

Anyway, I may or may not be around from time to time. I don't use the internet as much as I know a lot of you do. (It's partly why I was around for about a year, in times of yore, without ever reaching 500 posts or something like that. :P )

From then on, his purpose in life has been to keep vigil, believing in dogma as the only means to avoid chaos and confusion, and interpreting it in the strictest and narrowest sense possible. Later, his position within the church provided the means to enforce the rules and get rid of 'dissidents'.

He is intellectually brilliant, ruthless, and follows his path with great resolve.

Originally written by Maxmillion:

Scientific studies have shown that when people are praying or participating in religous ceremony, their brain gets flooded by endorphins, the "feel good" hormone of the body. This also happens when one eats or hangs outside on a sunny day. This is the "holy spirit" that keeps on being used as proof.

---

Well, maybe the big G is flooding their minds with endorphins as a reward for their behavior? :)

I felt the same way back when I was way more Christian than I am now (deist me). I felt the same way when I told my fiancee that I loved her the first time, as well as when I asked her to marry me. In retrospect, I don't think it's the Holy Spirit - unless it's the holy spirit I'm feeling every time I orgasm.

Perhaps it is. examples would be Tantra, and the Kama Sutra. Reaching God through the experience of pleasure.

Iirc, he spent the exam nervously walking between the aisles, doing his best to restrain himself from helping us. Some people had a bet running on how many answers they could manipulate him into giving them. It was a lot.

Good as. What did the bet stakes get to?

Originally written by Justice by Travesty:

Generally speaking, things "happening" on boards are bad and life as usual is good. No, there hasn't been any Tim fun or the like recently to break the monotony of discussion, but there also haven't been any bad flame wars, extraordinarily obnoxious and problematic members reminiscent of Tails or Shotts, or other such unsavory changes in routine.

—Alorael, who invites you to win Spiderweb anytime. That would be eventful.
