Its clear that nobody here saw the rage of burned pitta (if anybody knows what it is). I forgot once to turn down on the heating of the microwave before starting the machine. the room filled up with smoke. never thought a pitta could actually make so much smoke... EDIT: yes, Synergy is actually quite right (see next post). This is a useless comment, not to say redundant. That actually boils down to the same. Oh well. Why is it actually Alorael doesn't get a custom title?

MagmaDragoon, it´s really not something new that such a topic goes after about 5 posts completely off-topic, even if that´s offically against the CoC. :rolleyes: [ Sunday, January 01, 2006 13:05: Message edited by: Slith Lord ] -------------------- You know, why the Sliths are green - because of their scales. Maybe you know why some slith eyes were once red - ´cause the demons, which led them were red. But why are the eyes of the Slith Lord Followers red?

"Serious and serious"? Or do you mean "serious :D " and "serious", and they are two different things? :P Edit: Sometimes I miss the second page, yep.

About topicality: the interpretation of that particular rule (which reads, "Repeated posting of off-topic material on non-General forums") usually is that the posts must be badly of the current topic of the conversation of the thread (not its original intended topic) or completely off the topic of the board. Conversational drift is regarded as fine and natural. In General, randomness is tolerated within reason. I feel as though I should say something constructive and usefully on-topic, but looking back at the past few previous posts, I'm not sure that I can. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

I seem to remember that this line of the CoC once ran "non-Miscellaneous", even when I joined (which was months after Misc was closed).

It did. General is the new Misc. Uh, I mean, isn't. General isn't the new Misc. We're not supposed to say it is. Because it isn't, you see. Oh, and quote:Sure it can. It's the General forum, so a topic about anything specific is off-topic. :P [ Sunday, January 01, 2006 18:06: Message edited by: Thuryl ] -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

To me the nuance between generality and miscellany is that generality aspires to cover all possibilities, whereas miscellany is content with any sufficiently random subset. Hence we could argue that in Misc we were allowed to discuss anything, but now in General we are required to discuss everything. -------------------- We're not doing cool. We're doing pretty.

Also, one normally sets off a specific address with a comma. Like this: Shuan Wuan, use punctuation. This all would be solved if English had a vocative, but nooooo, we had to drop cases about a thousand years ago. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.
