That's in the FAQ, but here's a very brief description: it is meaningless.

A slightly longer description: we thought it would be funny to make the forum into an RPG. You pick a class, and gain experience as you post.

Well done Entropy, I think you made your point very eloquently.

Notice how his title is "Beloved Duke", seams his mood reflects his title.

Ent's was quite good, though I am sad Hal didn't pop up.

Oh, heck, here he is.  From the Shoulder to the wrist! Look out Evil it's my fist!

As long as we're posting pictures, can I request the "I like where this thread is going" one? It's my favorite.

ok, while I understand you're enjoying making fun of noobs, if you look at the FAQ table of contents thing,

TWG Forum FAQ

Part One: The Time-Waster's Guide?
1) What is the Time-Waster's Guide?
2) Who runs the Time-Waster's Guide?
3) Where did the Time-Waster's Guide Come From?
4) Can I write a review?
5) Can I have something free to review?

Part Two: The Forum
1) What forum etiquette do I need to know?
2) What's the main theme of the TWG forums?
3) What are the different forum sections?
4) There's a lot here.  How do I know what to read?
5) People are making fun of me.  What should I do?
6) Who are all you people?
7) What's the deal with all these levels and titles?
8) Anything else I need to know?

Part Three: Writing Groups and Forum RPG games.
1) Any special etiquette I should know here?
2) How do these forum RPG's work?

Wow, in all my time here this is the first time I've seen Entropy's famed Newbie Smackdown Attack successfully defended against.

Well played!

Post by: Entsuropi on November 21, 2005, 06:54:50 AM
Yeah yeah.

To answer the question, it's just something silly and amusing we put in. It doesn't do anything, it's just a little bit of fun for people.

on a similar yet unrelated note: It looks like the Student of Nautre titles have run out, and EUOL needs to do something about that.

Am I the only one here who first saw that pancake bunny on its original Japanese website before the English words got added to its picture?

There were other pictures of the bunny too, but none of them involved pancakes...
Title: Re: 4 new ppl
Post by: The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers on November 21, 2005, 12:41:40 PM
no.

In fact, I think it was posted here.

Ya we all know our forum is the only one on the Interweb that's creative and original.

I find it slightly funny how little time it takes his forum to get off topic and yet still remain 'on topic'
Title: Re: 4 new ppl
Post by: Mr_Pleasington on November 22, 2005, 01:41:48 AM
If a thread stays on topic for more than 4 posts then it's doing pretty well around here.

Most get derailed much, much sooner.

Just like my family when we argue *cough cough* I mean when we talk, what else could I possibly mean?

Okay, I found the best picture but despite my best efforts I cannot doctor it. (Paint just isn't working for me, and I don't have nor am talented enough to use a more complicated program.)

So, in honor of Fell and his squirrel magic deck, someone needs to take the top half of this picture (http://www.earthsongsaga.com/images/Other%20Art/friggen.jpg?MemberID=1219) and doctor it to say "Squirrel Attack!" and "Help!" in the dialogue boxes, or something like that.

And then post it here to share.  :D

Working it on. May need elaboration.

Specifically , leave the bottom the way it is or what?

Answered you on the thread devoted solely to me.  ;D
