Finally! I get some respect!!
-
And I got demoted back a few levels. Just because I turned myself into a frog. (Sigh.)
-
Whats up with starting a new stupid titles thread MoD? We still have 9 pages on the other one to go till Tage closes it.
-
She likes to start new threads for people who have slower connections, since posting a reply requires bringing up the entire thread on the reply window. We've complained at her before, since some of us like big threads, but she really does have a good point. And this thread is kind of hers, since she started the first incarnation of it.
-
well that's a change of tone for you EUOL since you got on her case the last time she did it.
-
That was a thread we had started, and she tried to hijack it. That's different.
In addition, I had the complaint that that thread was going to be done soon--it was the NaNoWriMo thread--and I wanted it all archived in one place so that I could look over our discussions. These Stupid Titles is different--it will last a long time, and there isn't really any reason for it all to be in one place. That is why I complained.
-
No, as I remember it, EUOL got on my case for doing it to the Word Sense thread, which was started by Sbihoah (or something). He said it was alright to do as I pleased with this one.
I whined, and have since gotten over it. ;)
EDIT: EUOL is right . . . it was the NANOWRIMO thread. Hopefully we get to start a new one for 2004. ;)
-
Eh I just like the long ones so I can follow what's going on easier.
-
yeah, *I* whined about the Word Sense thread.
-
I think this thread is disjointed enough that it doesn't matter.
And the other topic has been dead for 4 days, so now is probably a good time.
-
I, also, did not know that the pages loaded slowly for other people. Now that I understand their reasoning for starting new threads, I'm far more willing to respect their opinion. My reason for wanting a longer thread was far less valid than MoD's reason for wanting to start new ones.
-
Does any man know how long he wandered?
-
23.45 months. (rounding).
-
42 check your PM's.
Sorry for that.
-
There is no man.
-
All right, I'm taking votes. What kind of baskets am I holding?
A tisket? A tasket? A green and yellow basket?
-
Either laundry baskets (get back to work, slave! ;) ) or those disgustingly expensive baskets that my aunt used to buy at parties (like tupperware parties, but for baskets)
-
String or nothing
-
eggggesss! bassskets full of egggessss!
-
precious eggses yes /me makes a gutteral noise
gollum gollum
-
no--you are holding Easter baskets full of chocolate.
-
a handbasket. In which we are all going to hell.
-
I'm already there i thought?
-
Yes, you're whom we're going to meet
-
I'll make sure to get the grills nice and toasty then.
-
What's on the menu?
-
baskets
-
yelch
I've decided not to go.
-
Now that you're respected and all.
-
Well, I guess it'll be just me and Jeffe.
Since were the only ones who can handle the INTENSE taste of baskets.
-
Yeah, I plan to enjoy the respect for the next 27 posts that I have it. Knowing this class, I'm likely to have no friends and a broken leg next level.
-
don't worry, most of us already don't respect you.
-
Shh!! Don't dispell this carefully constructed illusion! :'(
-
he he
-
Yes stuttering Jeffe?
OH! Ba-zinged!
-
Not quite Gemm.
-
Flea-Ridden Gutter Crawler... apart from the obvious complaints about the degrading nature of this title, I'd just like to ask one question.
HOW do they know about the fleas? I though I'd managed to keep that quiet!
-
the fleas told one of the student of nature characters.
Just wait till you get to level 60 or so
Something really bad happens
Like going from Emperor God-King to a stricken begger.
-
Kinda like EUOL's "Failed Spellcaster (Frog)." Hehe, I laughed at that one.
-
Oh-goody... I can't wait. Oh well, at least I'll get rid of the fleas.
-
great I just became a cell phone commerical..
Mama...
-
I liked that cellphone commercial. but not as much as the one with all the dachshunds.
"Stampede!!"
-
Haha.
"You ordered a hundred Oxen...but you got a hundred Dachsund?...It's the static"
That one cracks me up.
-
I love that commercial. One of my best buddies is a Dachshund named Fritz.
<edit: I thought it looked funny...>
-
our dachsund, who believed herself a siamese cat, was named Helga.
-
Ah, if only they could have known each other. Fritz and Helga. Not a bad combination.
But Fritz waxes old. He's 12 now, I think.
-
Helga appparently died before Fritz came along (not surprising, since she died something like 20 years ago).
-
you guys a jar full of uppers today arent you?
-
/me gives Jeffe a dog and waits just long enough for him to get attached. Then, he kills it.
-
/me sneezees for 25 years untill the dog dies of extreamly old age
-
This is the new model. Completely dander free, non-allergy causing dog. We call them Dogfree (tm). They will do your grocery shopping and pay your bills from their own account. There's also an option for the dog to give advice on what shows or concerts to go to, but it costs extra.
-
Exactly what kind of behavior did this dog have that made you figure out she believed she was a siamese cat?
-
She was raised by Siamese cats, played with them extensively, licked us clean as babies, and once followed a squirrel she was chasing into a tree and couldn't get back down.
-
That's so cute/weird.
-
Well-known. That sounds dubious.
4 more posts for Saint.
-
yes, I expect to get it in the next hour or so
-
In fact I'll just do that right now.
...
Sweet! I'm a reformer!
Maybe I'll get excommunicated or something.
-
A church reformer? You're what, Martin Luther?
-
I am now, and I always have been, the duck man.
I mean, the Great Saint Ehlers! All hail!
-
Wow, EUOL, that's just . . . wow.
-
Wow EUOL what? What did he do? What is it??
-
I assumed she was talking about his current level title, but I'm not sure why it got that kind of reaction.
-
'cause it's weird and I'm not sure what a skretch is or why he's bait for one.
-
Yeah, that.
-
that didn't stop us when Izzy was a Nak'Shen.
-
What's that got to do with anything?
-
everything and nothing. I just thought the situations comparable. ALthough I guess you weren't really "Nak'Shen bait." That was camel poo
-
And I brought that on myself.
-
well at least your well known...
-
Well-known Warrior is my title, but I think I'm more well-known for my camel poo shoveling origins.
-
well, the title doesn't explicitly state that you're well known for being a warrior...
-
In the original worldbuilding for the setting of the forum game and titles, 'skretchs' were evil, demonic creatures that stalk the lands. Several of the titles across the classes make references to them.
Their body parts can be used for magical spells, and so the academy of Dark Magic is very eager to gather skretch corpses. Unfortunately, they're very hard to kill, and traps work best. Hence, the use of people as bait. One of the lower "Student of Dark Magic" classes was "skretch-bait." It's part of the initiation. When they run low on new initiates to use, they tend to turn to their research assistants instead....
-
so you're saying there's a lot of dark wizards...
-
ya, that and a never ending bar.
-
Or are there just two that say 'onomatopoeia' a lot?
-
"We're following the leader, the leader, the leader
We're following the leader. . ."
-
Lets just say that me and chicken of the sea aren't on good terms.
-
Why? just because they wantonly kill your friends?
-
yep
-
wantonly???
*looks it up just to be sure*
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=wantonly
I repeat - *wantonly*?
-
It's the second definition they're referring to, Fuzzy
-
So, what will I become?
A mecenary swordsman. So, same as before, except instead of wandering and doing noble deeds, I'm doing the same deeds for whoever gives me money. Whoever said that money can't bring happiness?
-
you're becoming a professional!
-
you cant buy happiness, but you can rent it. Its a timeshare thing.
-
/me reforms the time share system
-
that would be ultra-mega-cool, EUOL. I second this idea.
-
so do people like my new avatar, I think its snazzy.
-
actually yeah, it's kinda cool
As for Gemm's, I know he got some complaints, but this one fits him really well. I liked looking at the sheep one better, but still.
-
Reading though this thread, and seeing EUOL's statment on the story of the classes, and a lot of active forum goers were never around when this idea first came around, I thought I'd show you the first inital game based (http://www.monkeyslothstudio.com/Games/bar.swf) off of that idea. The setting was an endless bar that was a chat room (each different room in the bar was supposed to be a different room for the chat). There were lots of bugs that would be easy to fix (like how the tileing is off) of course you'll never see this finished for various reasons. Why did I post it then? Becasue I like to torment people on what could have been.
-
Ahh! Are you kidding? Why isn't that finished? It seems like such a cool idea.
-
Well the fact to make it an interactive chatroom we need a socket server which, as I've stated in other threads, are complicated and require us to have special access to the hosting server which TWG dosen't have and is usaly very expensive to get. We can't realy use any PHP tricks to do this, like we could in a text only chat, becasue of the special conditions presented with real time movement/animation. Also me and EUOL were at odds on how the game portin would work, he wanted ,more or less, what you have now. I wanted a more traditional RPG game system with money buying you new equipment not points from leveling.
-
that would be ultra-mega-cool, EUOL. I second this idea.
?? I'm lost, SE. To what are you referring?
-
i'm confused to. I can only imagine that I had two threads open and I posted to the wrong one.
-
Lol. You know, that would be more amusing if I hadn't done the same thing myself once....
-
I'm glad somebody said something. I was trying to figure out what SE meant, too.
-
You will hardly know who I am or what I mean
-
?? I'm lost, SE. To what are you referring?
Your not cleared for that.
Fnord.
-
I had a dream that I was playing a MMORG with Saint over the internet. Saint was offering to sell me things like wigs made from the hair of his previous characters, or a unicorn carcass. I was tempted by the unicorn carcass, assuming that I could have it resurrected later in the game, but the thought of an undead unicorn was somewhat unsettling.
-
I... I don't know what to say. Isn't that 42's character? I would have sold you ninja monkey vikings or something.
-
Let's see what I am
... NO ONE EXPECTS THE EHLERS INQUISITION!
-
Unicorn carcasses, and you expect this dream to make any sort of logic sense at all?
-
what else do you do with a unicorn but kill it and eat it in order to prolong your immortality?
and i guess it wouldn't make sense, since you're a girl and girls don't make sense. (zing!)
-
Neither does it make sense that all of the previous characters you were trying to sell to me (well their hair anyway) were posted as pictures of dead princesses, which I thought very viking of you.
Of course girls don't make sense. How long did it take you to realize that, slow one?
-
uhm... what was the question again?
-
I think that having a Saint interrogate you for the Inquisition would be very effective, what with him being holy and dead and all.
-
Maybe he has powers of lightening persuation.
-
don't make me strike you down
-
what does being a choir member have to do with being a student of light magic?
-
it's a religious/priestly class. Once you get that, it all makes so much more sense. Like when you get to level 55 or something your an Emperor God-King. Immediately after which you get struck down.
-
Actually, TFO, your class is "Student of Divinity" not "Student of Light Magic." Did you think you were Light Magic? You haven't spontaneously switched, have you? (We've had that happen a few times....)
-
sudent of divinity...um...of course I knew that...I was, um testing you...
-
Yeah, um, the Student of Light Magic would be me Max...and frankly, I'm sick of being an Enlightened Hermit...I wonder what's next for me and my Light Magicky goodness...
-
I'll let you know in another couple of posts--I've been enlightened for awhile now.
-
does anyone know what comes after choir member?
-
that was like, almost 50 levels ago. I can't remember at all. But it's probably something like chorister
-
hmmm.... chorister, dont know what that is, oh well I'll find out soon enough
-
the chorister is the leader of the choir.
-
I meant I'd find out what the next class was...but i didnt know what a chorester was either...and what may i ask again does being in a choir have to do with divinity.
-
Yay Max! You're a choir soloist! Sing for me!
-
and what may i ask again does being in a choir have to do with divinity.
Have you never heard of the angels singing in heaven? Learn to sing=get to join that heavenly choir!
-
um i think the choirs of angels were metaphoric, as in the metatron is a seraphim( highest choir of angel) but he doesnt sing, just speaks for god, they never really say choirs of angels sing, i think the word choir is just a mistranslation, we already know that when the bible was originally written the word for snake, eve, and apple was all the same word.
-
How do *you* know.
Hello? this is a mythological roleplaying system. Demons? Zombies? Dragons? Are choirs of angels really so out there?
Dude, find something else to complain about.
-
? oh i wasnt arguing about the position in the forums, just arguing the comment about singing=getting into heaven
-
Well in my personal heaven, everyone would have perfect pitch, but I guess that's not very angelic of me.
-
um i think the choirs of angels were metaphoric, as in the metatron is a seraphim( highest choir of angel) but he doesnt sing, just speaks for god, they never really say choirs of angels sing, i think the word choir is just a mistranslation, we already know that when the bible was originally written the word for snake, eve, and apple was all the same word.
I think you just answered you own question about what it has to do with divinity...
-
i manage to do that a lot....
-
I already answered the question anyway. It's a priest-like classes. Chapels have choirs. you work in that choir. It's really not very complicated at all.
Oh, and the choirs are real. You think that angels don't sing in heaven?
-
? oh i wasnt arguing about the position in the forums, just arguing the comment about singing=getting into heaven
Which was a joke, by the way.
-
And here I've been singing all night long hopeing to increase my chances.
-
I'm sure that singing won't be a requirement on your particular entrance exam to heaven.
-
and they don't have entrance exams for hell. They'll let any damned soul in. :D
-
i'm not so sure about that I hears they're raising the bar for hell, if yoou can't make it there the put in a an alternate reality where you're caty couric...
-
nope. I happen to be web master for the Department of Sin, Office of Collections. no bars being raised there.
-
In my happy place..."I'm not caty couric I'm not caty couric I'm not caty couric I'm not caty couric I'm not caty couric I'm not caty couric..."
For those of you who dont know caty couric is the most god-awful and annoying newscaster in california.
-
Ummm...Katy Couric is not just California...she's the news anchor for the Today Show, the widest viewed news show in America...
-
like I know anything about the news.... alls I know is i dont like caty couric
-
lol she's dosen't even live in California. The today show is filmed in New York. All I can say about her is there is no possible way someone can allwayse be that perky in the morning.
-
I could be that perky if they paid me what they paid her. Heck, I'd even wear a dress if that's what they wanted from me.
-
It could be worse though. What if they made Tara Lipinski a tv reporter? Then you've have perky and squeaky too.
-
I can squeek.
-
Would you squeak, or would you make your ninja monkeys do it for you? :)
-
depends. Would they pay me if my minions squeeked for me?
-
probably, because ninja monkeys squeaking out the news would be a definite novelty
-
I went from "Master Slave" to lab rat.
Oh well. At least the furry bit applies.
-
hmmm...I'm going to have to wait and see what happens after enlightenment, because I think doing experiments on a lab rat would go against my principles at the moment. ;)
-
enlightened hermit->lonely hermit, sam just got to level 8 and that's what happened to him
-
which means you'll have a slave/meat grinder/blender/lab rat to keep you company
-
probably, because ninja monkeys squeaking out the news would be a definite novelty

-
enlightened hermit->lonely hermit, sam just got to level 8 and that's what happened to him
Well, obviously he's been out seeking enlightenment for so long that he's begun to miss the company of other beings.
-
Look at me!! I can fly!
-
Windgifted doesn't necessarily mean you can fly... It could mean that either you're very gassy (going back to your camel poo days) or long-winded. ;)
-
a flatulent warrior would be terrifying.
-
Oh pooh. You two are a bunch of spoil sports. It's much more fun to envision myself being tossed about the earth by friendly gusts of wind.
Wheeee!!
-
you still can be, its just a hot smelly wind.
-
Spoilsports? Oh, come oh, you of all people should remember it's all about opportunity... ;)
-
Oh pooh
Yeah, that's pretty much what they were getting at
-
Spoilsports? Oh, come oh, you of all people should remember it's all about opportunity... ;)
Indeed.
/me opportunistically sets everyone on fire.
Ah hahaha!
;D
-
you apparently forgot that our new ninja monkey fighting togs are flame retardant.
-
Are you trying to tell me that you, yourself are a monkey?
-
no. is that what you're trying to understand I'm saying?
-
and scientifically speaking fire around such a copious source of natural gas may not be the best idea... Unless you want to become rocket propelled.
-
Wouldn't you have to be a ninja monkey to wear ninja monkey togs?
-
No, you just have to wear fighting togs made OUT of traitorous ninja monkeys.
-
Ugh. Now I'm sick.
-
So what makes being a guinea pig better than being a lab rat? Other than the cuteness factor.
-
More fur?
-
greater variety of hair styles
also, more mass.
-
yay I'm a missionary!...but I'm not christian...
-
why would you have to be Christian to be a missionary?
-
isnt that a christian thing?
-
no, a missionary doesn't have to be christian. They just have to spread the teachings of their religion to others.
Also, to Fuzzy, I like Guinea pigs better than lab rats, so maybe I used my enlightened status from before to change you to a fuzzy friend. ;)
-
I'm sorry TFO, but I've got to say it.
That signature makes me want to pummel you.
-
Hear! Hear!
-
I'm a panhandler. A PANHANDLER! What on earth does handling pans (presumably as in cooking pans or something) have to do with deception? I mean, wtf?
-
a panhandler is a guy who sits on the street corner and asks for spare change. It's sort of a fancy name for a begger.
-
Ah, ok, thankee SE. As long as I have a degrading title, i'm happy :D
-
I think you left it in the icebox.
-
shouldnt I get less zealous as I spend more time as a missionary?
-
wow, are all you teenagers so pessimistic?
-
actually I'm not very pessimistic, just people ussually get less excited about thier jobs the longer they do them, unless it's something really cool, like an astronaught or some military position, those are always exciting because you're risking something, but being a missionary would get boring after a while i would think
-
Think being the opperative term. Now remember you're posting to a board where half of the people on it have BEEN missionaries, and don't judge before you actually do something, k?
-
How was I supposed to know you guys have been missionaries?
-
Er... your advanced psychic abilities.
-
oh... I really should have used those...
I wasnt saying being a missionary was boring, just sayin it prolly isnt the most exciting job
-
guns pulled on you, dogs chasing, people trying to prove you're wrong, learning the true problems many people have
Oh, and the occassional helping someone's life improve.
A mission may be many things, but boring? Never
-
SE, how are your Ninja Monkey Assassin Priests doing on their quests as part-time missionaries...? ;D
-
just people usually get less excited about their jobs the longer they do them
I haven't got tired of writing yet. Granted, I've only been PAID to do it for one year....
I wasn’t saying being a missionary was boring, just sayin it prolly isnt the most exciting job
Actually, I think this is a valid comment. Sometimes, it WAS boring, in all honesty. Walking between houses in the wilderness, contacting in the subway...yeah, it could get boring. But, I think that was part of why it was hard sometimes--and it being hard was part of the point. Easy things don't make you grow.
(And, FYI Gemm, LDS people often serve missions for their church when they're in their early twenties. I went to Korea, Fell to Mexico, and Tage to Germany. Sprig was in Japan, 42...uh...Portugal? His twin served with me in Korea. I forget where a lot of the rest of the group went. If you want to know more, start up a topic somewhere. It really was an interesting experience--different than you're probably assuming.)
-
cool,
did you get a nice hat?
cuz if you did it would be an even more awesome job..
but seriously, thats pretty cool,
-
ok, i'll retract "never" boring, but the implication is that it would get more boring than your average work. EVERYTHING can get boring from time to time, but I don't think missionary work gets boring any more often than most work, and generally does so less often.
-
psh, speak for yourselfs. You didn't searve in Japan. If it wasn't giant lizard attacks one week it was alien invasions. I even got my mecha pilots lincence while over there, quite easy to get just need your passport, a US drivers lincene and the ability to beat Capcoms Steel Batallion. Honestly, I have know idea why these things are never coverd by the press. But that's the "Left Wing" media for you. They're afraid of sterotypeing all giant lizards and ones that destory Tokyo, the problem with that is the ones not attacking Tokyo are attacking Osaka!
-
did they have a Rent-a-zilla?
-
Hmm, didn't encounter any giant lizards or aliens, but then again I was near Tokyo. Maybe that's why they would occasionally move all the building, streets, and people underground to the "New Tokyo" city for a few hours at a time each week.
-
I didn't say anything about it EUOL. I think you're thinking of someone else.
-
Yeah, sorry. It was TFO. I know that's a mortal offense, so I'll just go off and commit seppuku.
-
huh? did I do something wrong again?
-
still.
c'mon folks, it take me 300 posts to change levels. I'm going to be the High Inquisitor forever if I don't see more posting to respond to.
-
still? could you explain this
just so you have something to respond to
-
Blargz!
-
I know this isnt my title, but what does owning a soup kitchen have to do with light magic?
-
its because they're such a goody two-shoes...
-
I cant wait untill Im the bud keeper :)
-
it's like they've never played any Final Fantasy.
"Still." as opposed to "again"
-
??? ??? ???
-
not you jeffe. The person who can't make connections here. It sounds silly, but I weep for our educational system if they can't make the jump from "healing magic" to "running a soup kitchen" in such a sarcastic context. So instead I choose to believe that he doesn't know what a White Mage is.
-
uh yhea ... I've never heard of a white mage running a soup kitchen
-
this is not a re-creation of a video game. It's a spoof of the games. So it's taking the concepts of games and taking them into odd directions. Most of the classes force you to earn a stereotypical title. I didn't become the High inquisitor right away, I had to go through all your levels. They don't start getting cool till you're in your twenties. Until then, they're amusic offshoots of what you'd normally think of it.
See, in games, usually you start right off in the middle of your career. A first level black mage in FF can cast damaging spells, right? Well, those games ignore all the work that went into earning or learning those powers. The forum just points that out. Before the student of Martial Arts can become a fighter, he has to go through all the humiliating service bits. Before the Student of divinity can become a powerful priest, he has to go through the demeaning low level, sometimes even lay jobs associated with it. The Student of light magic, befoe he can become a great healer, has to learn all the basics of caring for mankind the hard way.
So no, you haven't seen a white mage running a soup kitchen. Because, see, it's FUNNY. Nothing is supposed to be the basic stereotype with just different names like the 1st edition D&D class level titles. It's exploring different real world aspects of those jobs, and putting them into a fantasy/game context. Irony here, boy. I say irony.
-
gotya, so does divinity ever get a mage class?
-
not really. The class titles tend to explore the historically political nature of theists. **SPOILER WARNING: I REVEAL STUFF I'VE LEARNED ABOUT THE CLASS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE KNOWN ANYWAY BY WATCHING ME, HAD YOU BEEN HERE**
You spend some time advising rulers, then take over. Somewhere around level 50 I think you become the Emperor God-King, which refers to my over-inflated ego. But then you get smitten and have to work your way back up. I only tell you all this because most of the board saw it at least once way back when I was going through it.
-
cool a caligula complex!
he used to walk up to random people on the street and tell them he was a god, he also waged war on neptune by sending his troops down to the ocean and having them slash at the waves...
-
no, it's a SaintEhlers complex. For I was once, and will be again, the Lord High Emperor God King of the Universe.
-
does this mean when you take over rome, that you will try and appoint your favorite horse as a senator?
-
no. I don't care for horses. However, my elite corps of Ninja Monkey Assassin Priests will be replacing the monkeys already there. Loyalty, that's what I demand in a senator.
-
will they be replacing horses too?
-
great now I'm a failed missionary... I feel so guilty and inadequet...
-
Guilt and inadequacy are your first steps into a larger world.
-
Well, agnostic missionaries aren't generally the most effective kind.
"God may or may not exist, and there's no way to prove that he does. ...But if he does, he's gonna wallop you for sinning! Come to church."
Maybe eventually you'll follow Entropy's route. He was a Student of Divinity until one day a freak accident turned him undead.
-
and he's already ahead.
Heheh, spriggan showed me EUOL, i laughed aloud.
-
I once saw a bumper sticker on my freind jennifer's car that said
"hey, feel as though you've done something wrong? Feel guilty for no reason? Dont worry you're catholic!" I thought it was kinda funny seeing as she is catholic
-
But less funny if you've gone to Catholic school like me.
-
Fuzzy actually had to go to a catholic preschool...
I dont think he meant to offend anybody
-
and he's already ahead.
Heheh, spriggan showed me EUOL, i laughed aloud.
Mmmh?
-
Heh. The pilot strip for "Evil Overlord's Club." We should be able to post it by the end of the week. However, we have to get the backend/database working. Plus, the strip is rife with typos. I'll want to get that fixed first....
Glad you liked it, SE. With the sprite comic, I should be able to focus a bit more on writing, rather than killing myself trying to draw (poorly) new panels for every strip. It still takes time to put things together and make it look visually appealing, but losing the entire 'scan the pictures in and get the grayscale balance right' step will make a big difference.
-
Oooh! /me looks pleased

Obviously, Brenna the hermit is using her seclusion to conduct experiments in genetic engineering.
-
A panda with eight Limbs that lives in huge bamboo forests and swings from trees.
-
I'm a lonely hermit--I got bored, what can you expect? ;)
-
I'm a churchgoign swordsman now. Try as I might, It's too late for me to think of soemthing funny and/or witty about that, so I'll leave it up to you to think of something yourself and laugh at it.
-
I'm a mystical healer. Oooow mystical.
-
what do you go to church for? to kill people? Or to pray?
On that note, does "divine inquisitor" mean I inquisite the divine? Or that I AM divine and I inquisite?
-
Kill People, pray, what's the difference? As long as I get to swing my sword and kill things, I'm happy. Divine favour only adds more to the deal.
-
Maybe you are in the pay of the church... or maybe you go the church to kill people...
-
To be honest, you're probably in the employ of SE right now.
-
Perhaps SE is trying to turn you into a sword-wielding-australian-ninja-monkey.... then again, probably not.
-
I'm just distracting him.
-
From What?
-
Look! Over there! A distraction!
-
Where? WHERE?? Ooooh, Look, A giraffe playing poker!!! With a ninja monkey....
-
/me applies the sword to the distraction.
-
* TFO applies two tablespoons of oil and the quadratic formula to the distraction, then calls dovtor freud in the morning, as per instruction*
-
* 42 moves on to the next distraction. Look, the joy of icecream in syringe form. Tasty.
-
/me moves on to distracting the grass and tricking it into not growing.
Now, quickly, fly you fools!
-
the power of my mind is truly amazing.
Look! A non-euclidean candy bar!
-
/me gets distracted by the candy bar, and eats it.
Mmmmm... candy bar doing impossible turns in porrly understood internal plumbing.
-
I thought we used our entire stash of that attempting to assassinate Fellfrosch?
-
T.F.O. I keep looking at your title and reading "Flavored Missionary"
So what are you flavored as?
-
Isn't my new avatar perfect for my title? :D
-
So... what do you think I go to after "divine inquisitor?"
-
Hades?
-
wouldn't surprise me, considering what happened last time I was "divine."
-
What about "Supremely Depressed Papacy"
-
I always liked "The Great Schism". That was a fun part of Catholic history.
-
I AM THE HIGH PRIEST OF AMUN!
-
So if I'm running a soup kitchen now, and you're a master test monkey, Fuzzy, does that mean that I test out the soup on you first? To make sure no one's poisoned it? :)
-
Yes, because the other option is putting me in the soup.
-
only the master tests though. Unless she masters the test monkeys. There's some theological debate on that.
-
A swordsman like me can change the world. How appropriate....
Viva La Revolution!
-
I'm blessed right? so how come I'm not on fire yet?
-
Because 'blessed' and 'fire' are, in all actuallity, two completely unsimilar words. Now were your title to be Rancid, or Acidic, you may be able to stretch it to the likes of being on fire.
-
I think we can fix that, though this is more MoD's department...
/me lights TFO on fire.
-
YAY! I taste like burning!
I actually meant shouldn't the holy water be causing me to burn.
-
Yes.
/me puts out the fire he just lit with holy water, just causing further buring effects.
-
can I have my skin back...please...
-
Sure...
/me cuts off TFOs skin with a rusty knife, then hands the still flaming skin to him.
-
xaiptotec: our lord the flayed one. those crazy aztecs had this guy as a god, the preist would roast someone alive, and while they were still alive, skin them completely, then get high and wear the crisp flesh cape around town while asking for presents.
-
Hey, I'm just the swordsman, but I'm happy to wear your charred skin as a claok if it earns me cool presents.
-
well you ussually just get chunks of obsidian and fresh tortillas and maybe you'll get a gold coin every so often... now I want some pork rinds...mmmm....fried pork skin....
-
see, when you choose student of divinity as a class, any supposed claims at being anti-holy are kind of surrendered.
-
Isn't eating animals against the rules of your 'nameless gods'? I mean, that eating animals - that, like, really messes with the earths magnetic flow of love, dude.
*nods*
-
go pods!
-
And Now, I quest!
For the Holy Grail!
(But that's just for the cameras. Between you and me, I'm really looking for a Cheese Grater that won't stick.)
-
I am the master! Master Druid
-
Jam, I just think it's funny that you're now a "Swrodsman" instead of a Swordsman. :)
-
Y'know, I didn't notice that
I did in fact give up my sword for a swrod, to celebrate Spriggan Spelling Day.
-
And I'm a high elder.
You know, my titles were much more interesting when I was apostatizing.
-
I'm a light mage. I have half the fat of a regular mage.
-
what are you high on I wonder?
-
judging from my past performance? I'm guessing power
-
Drugs,... I'd have to say drugs.
-
My current title appears to mean that I am the lord of America.
-
I know you mean the EU.
-
That's creative: I just moved from 'Knight' to 'Greater Knight.'
-
Happy now?
And, in a related note, I seem to recall that your title was an intentional misspelling, JP. I think I was trying to annoy HoM for some reason. (Not that you really need a reason to do that....)
-
* gratuitous just-so-see-what-the-next-level-is post
-
ohhh, you're popular now. Bet ya think you're special.
-
No, I'm just "the people's actor"
-
/me pokes head in, looks around
-
/me gains a level
-
Hey lady-with-a-big tummy, any plans for letting us know when you finally have Mathias? I mean it took us a while to hear about the preganacy, I don't want to have to email you in 6 months and go, "Hey, did you finally have that baby?"
;)
-
Nope, no baby yet. I have noticed a few contractions, but unfortunately they aren't regular enough to predict anything by.
Don't worry, I make a general announcement, or else ask my husband to. :D
-
Congrats! I didn't even know you were expecting. So the name is to be Matthias?
-
Hey neat! I haven't been paying much attention, but I greatly enjoy my title. Thanks, EUOL.
-
Mathias Samuel Whiting. Yes.
-
interesting name... any history there?
-
congrats, my oldest sister is expecting too.
I take it this is you first child? I like the name.
-
Behold the rath of 51... its a job title and a level!
-
and
-
I
-
only
-
only have 5 more to go!!!
-
Wow! Someone else actually hit the fifty mark. Congrats, Jeffe!
Guess I have to get to work on those titles....
-
Not hard to get to level 50 when you use 5 posts when 1 is used by everyone else.
-
Yeah, that one was a bit egregious.
-
actually entropy I used 5 to reach level 51 from fifty because my leveling reqirement got set back to ten and I was experimenting...
-
Fifty to fifty-one is a screwy one in the code for some reason.
You skipped 51 completely, then? I think something similar happened with SE, but I thought I'd fixed it....
-
no I reached 51, but only had to post 10 times to reach 52... I guess its kind of a freebie...
-
Humm, I have no idea if this happened to me. Frankly I rarely notice my actualy post count.
-
Jeffe, the fact remains that you spammed like a noob.
-
whatever... thats the entire point of this thread and the word game thread.
-
No, no its not. Spamming like a n00b upsets the mod. Luckily for you, he is away this week.
Besides, the trick is to make as many spammy, level-gaining posts as you can without anyone realising your posts have no content.
Like this one.
-
Stealth spamming.
Now you must all visualize a can of Spam dressed as a ninja. You must!
-
not that it matters since it was all just a controlled experiment
/me hurriedly jots down notes in a notebook
-
*Level up post*
I'm gonna get so yelled at for this...
-
I don't think anyone will yell at you. Many people do level up posts. What might raise hackles is a series of three or four posts aimed at levelling up.
Then again, Entropy might yell at you regardless, so...
-
well entropy yells at everyone regardless
-
well, everyone yells at everyone regardless.
oh wait... that was just in my little fantasy world.
-
Never mind those voices in your head, Fuzzy.
And, since you asked - T.F.O you spamming level up poster!!!
-
YAY!...I think...
but really does anyone understand the mind of a hunk of wood?
"Apparently not" said the porridge.
Please disregard the above statement
um, actually I'm suprised entropy has yet to take the bait
-
I do not immediately yell whenever one of you lot wants me to.
Being a Newbie Slapdowner requires careful management of resources and timing of attacks, you know.
-
yes, he likes to think he has a responsible and independent mind on the subject.
-
I'm a Vexslayer. I have no idea what it is, but it sounds COOL. Which is a step up from the moderately ok ones of late. Guess that means I'm officially getting experienced.
-
A vex sounds like a 4 inch long amazonian lizard. I fail to see how slaying them is cool.
-
/me slays a vex in such a way that it's highly acidic blood squirts into Entropies eyes.
-
vex is the root of the latin verb vexat which means "to annoy" so something that is vexing or vexacious is something that is annoying, so maybe it means he slays annoying things...I'm gonna go hide now.
-
What's all this now? Grand Master Slave of Puppets?
-
So much work. And I am now a Church High Patriarch. I hope the position comes with perks. Like chicks or sumtin'
-
Hah! I am no longer a Vexslayer, but a...Greater Vexslayer!
Way to do crap all on that one.
-
Way to do crap all on that one.
...huh? Your strange Australian speech patterns confuse and bewilder me.
-
I'm insulting the lack of creativity of whoever comes up with the titles.
-
oh, I don't know. The same guy who came up with Greater Vexslayer came up with "Expert Apprentice" for a 42nd level title.
You guys are way to harsh on the titles EUOL's come up with like, 50 or more for several different classes. I would actually like to see you do better.
-
Superior Vexslayer
Chief of Vexslayer.
Vexhunter Captain.
Vexing Vexslayer.
How's that?
-
kinda sucks. :o ANd it also doesn't provide even 50 titles for one class.
-
No, but they're all slightly more imaginative than "Greater Vexslayer".
Anyway, I make one throwaway comment, and I get picked on. Don't mess with me, I know insults that are bad enough to get me punched in the face!
-
eh.... what else did you want me to do? Set you up as a demigod? NO! The Koalas come for you my friend!
-
Y'know, being a Demigod could have its perks...
-
Repairman?
-
My apologies. It has been corrected.
-
What with my icon, i was kind of hoping for Repairbear
-
hey, you're not the ONLY person with the student of servitude class...
oh wait. You are. nm
-
What with my icon, i was kind of hoping for Repairbear
Would that be anything like a Reaperbear?
After all, there's a DEATH OF RATS.
;D
-
I like Entropy's current title. "Independent Thrall"
-
I give myself...., life.
-
Uhhh Gemm? Did you forget something? Like dying first?
-
no, Gemm's needed a life for quite some time now.
-
But how does one go about giving what one does not have?
-
It's a blessing upon my curse. Which is itself a blessing.
-
I advocate chocolate.
-
Well, after slaying some Greater Vexes, I am now a Swordsman with "Honor".
I'm guessing that's something sorta like "Honour".
-
yes. Only spelled correctly.
-
Indeed, spelled correctly. But only on Spriggan Spelling day, otherwise it's missing a rather important letter.
-
Lol. Well, if you're THAT determined to do what the queen says, I'll change it when I get home. Honestly, I thought you Auzzies would be more determined to throw off your British oppressors! You should come up with an Auzzy-themed way of spelling it. Holoondoo or something like that.
-
See, it has less to do with following the Queen, and more to do with not doing what Americans do.
-
right, yeah, I remember now. You live in one of those backward countries that finds it "necessary" to include letters that are not only silent, but have zero impact on either pronunciation or meaning distinction. Yes. Very logical. Tell me, how the heck did anyone convince you to use the metric system if you guys can muck up language so horribly?
-
See, the only reason you think it's silent is that your accent does weird things to the language, and is "lazy" in a sense. If you pronounce the words properly, the U isn't silent at all. Subtle, yes, but not silent. it indicates a slightly altered and drawn out vowel sound. Just like the b in dumb - it indicates the m sound finishing the word should be reverberated slightly rather than simply dropped off, which sounds lazy.
-
uhm.... no.
-
Umm....Yes.
-
no. your accent is *not* "right." At best it's funny. Makes for good beer commercials and 80's movies.
-
See, you're biased. I, however, think in text and thus have no accent.
-
Are there people in the UK and Australia who enjoy American accents as much as we enjoy listening to yours?
-
In general I've found that most people dislike the american accent, and fairly even odds (like and dislike) for the UK accents.
-
Yeah. Everyone finds the "yank accent" extremely irritating. The UK one is often disliked, and often liked.
I am in the latter camp. But then, back when I used to pronounce words properly (not as in accent, as in, not dropping letters off of the end of words and such.) I have been accused of being British.
-
In fact, thats fairly common JP, I used to get it a lot because I spoke with well-rounded vowels etc. from Drama, and a few other people who did drama who I've spoken to said they've encountered the same thing. It seems to be that people who can't speak properly dislike the english language.
-
there is no such thing as accentless speech. Even if you "think in text" you're applying a pronounciation. therefore, applying an accent.
-
Back to the topic at hand....
I'm an engery generator. Is that like a hampster running in a wheel?
-
panda flapping its wings...
-
A rabbit flapping it's mouth.
Sorry, that icon... can't resist.
-
Were you an engery generator and then someone fixed it? I'm glad, if so. Wouldn't want the hamster to be running around in that wheel for nothing.
-
actually, I think that was just fuzzy's typo.
-
That is an interesting concept though. Solve the energy crisis by converting power over to manpower. Have it open, so anyone could come in and push a turbine for as long as they wanted and then pay them for how much power they produced. They get to work out and get paid for it, you get money from selling the power to the government. It has potential. Oh and by the way I leveled up. :)
-
I think Matrix when I think of human energy generator. Take the red pill fuzzy!
-
"Why is everything made out of changing green characters?"
"Remember that red pill I gave you?"
"Yeah"
"It was Nyquil."
-
The funny thing about that is that Morpheus looked like he could be someone who would give you "magic pills."
-
Heh, Kije I read that "take the red fuzzy pill!"
-
I recommend against taking anything fuzzy.
-
If you take the red fuzzy pill as opposed to the ordinary red pill, you not only awake from your battery-like state but get cured from male-pattern baldness.
If you take it and you're a woman, you grow a mustache. You don't see any women who took the fuzzy red pill in the movies because they all got laughed out of their ships or died from razorburn infection.
-
exactly how long will I be a seminarian?
-
I think it's a four-year program. You've got to study a lot if you want to take over the world!
-
man.. so it's like highschool for tyrants.
-
Wait. I've been assassinated? Curse those traitor monkeys!
-
Oh you would like to think that it was the monkeys wouldnt you?
-
well, it sure as heck wasn't any of you chumps.
-
A Knight. Kinda anticlimatic. Good Knight.
-
you have to go through the boring titles to get to the good ones. Just watch, next level you'll be an Assassinated Knight.
-
when were you assassinated eric? How could you monkeys have missed that.
-
I don't think they did. I'm holding them responsible.
-
Excellent....
Id like a couple of bowls of ninja monkey stew please.
