you're not powerful enough to be a mutant cyberbiotic frog. The point is not creativity, but that you really are nothing more than just a failed test subject that happens to be a plain, regular, pathetic frog.
I don't know (and don't care to look up) what an Acelen is.
I love my title. I'm disturbing! Woohoo!
Um, you're also repentant which means you have to go around making amends and taking crap from everyone you ever overlorded.HaHa. IT actually changed like two posts after that one because I leveled up.
you know i thought i was a ditch digger due to my low level then i come accross a level 20 with a title of "Failed spell subject(frog)" now heres the thing i dont really enjoy digging ditches but if i had to choose i would take it over being lets say. . . a frog. I mean really with all that time and effort put in about all those threads your given a title like that. wow someone made an admin mad. now i hope to one day acheive the level of Mighty Master Ditch Digger.Haha.
When we updated the forums to SM EUOL, Fell and I filled out all of the missing class titles.Wow, that is a lot of posts. haha
Once you hit level 100 (22000 total posts) you go epic level--but there aren't titles for those yet.
i know its late, mayadi that mad more sense than i thought i didnt even think to associate each name with the class we choose while making our profile. so im past aprentice ditch digger and journeyman ditch digger now im a regular ditch digger. i wonder whats next for me. . . im almost posative all ditch diggers become ninja turtlesThat would be totally amazingtastic.
Hooray! I am a huge fan of the titles. Even if I still don't know what an Acelen is.I can't figure it out either. ha ha.
I thought level progression was based on posts per day. It took me some lurking before I began posting and thought that was why...Level is dependent on total posts where title is dependent on post/class.
Thanks, Miyabi. :) And level progression? It is showing as -1 for me know, so my theory is shot. :P
Congrats on the new rank CthulhuKefka!
It's one of the prices that you pay Skar. We know your human so dont worry too much about it.
I, personally, like being a '53'Did we lose a titles list expansion during the restoration? I thought Brandon sat down and made all the title lists much longer sometime in the last year.
Not really. It's so dehumanizing. (sobs)
Oh! Oh! Oh! I'll bite!42 = the meaning of life
53= 11+42
42 being the answer to all things, and 11 being the "perfect number" it makes 53 the perfect answer! :look Ok, maybe I'm misremembering my numerology... :P

I seem to have escaped being an Acelen, whatever that is.
I thought being a wounded fencing student was bad until I saw Emmilith's title. I don't know what got wounded, but it is taking forever to heal.I, as a clinic worker, have healed your wounds.
So that's all it took huh? Why am I in now way surprised that the very post I mention my title was the one that changed it. Irony, the other white meat.Ha ha. I did that a few times too. xD
Hmm, I'm a servant now. I wonder whom I'm supposed to serve?Miyabi = master
OK, whatever, I'm not a programmer.That's why I clearly defined myself as Master. ha ha. XDDDD
But isn't your title Medic? Not quite the same as Master.

I have a strange feeling that darx will soon become injured, perhaps in a battle with an expert street brawler. Maybe miyabi could stand close by and make sure no one dies.I'm on it. ;)
I guess it wouldnt be. At least your useful and always make people happy.
I'm not sure exactly what it means, but it could mean that I am like a ranger, or something like that....or like the tin woodsman in The Wizard of Oz, only not tin. Who knows? That is part of the fun for me :)Hmmmmm. . . . suddenly I want to see how Burton would portrait the world of Oz to us . . .
I for one tend to agree. I almost vomitted when I saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I think his time is over and he should leave classics alone. Stop ruining them with his crap and let someone better remake them.Yeah, that remake was highly revolting. I loathed it so much that I couldn't even finish watching the DVD I rented. I've never been a big fan of Burton, and this movie just made me wanna lock him up in Arkham or Belle Reeve or whatever looney bin would take him. Blah.

]-les sigh-Sigh all you want. I have read the book. I actually wrote a paper on some children's and YA lit in which food is overwhelmingly used as a means to discourage kids from behaving badly, to satirize human foibles, and so on. One of the largest sections of my paper focused on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. While I agree the old movie softened up the novel's sharp edges and zany bluntness, the original movie still had much more heart and made much more sense than Burton's remake. He just "weirded" up the story to the extreme and twisted things around so that the end result was a VERY annoying remake. I could scarcely stand to watch most of it whereas I have happily re-read the book and re-watched the original movie.
Did you ever read the book?
It's like a wookie/bigfoot! Don't you remember Thundarr the Barbarian?! ;DI KNEW his DP looked familiar. ha ha.
So I am a slave, but who's slave am I?
I love the support. We could do great things boys/girls.
Ah yes but the question is would I rather be respected in a place full of people I don't respect or be un-noticed in a place where I do respect people? I'll take the freedom and sacrifice my station of hero any day.That was amazing! I love philosophy and that was very philosophical. ha ha.
I'm glad that we have the titles back, but I miss the thing that showed how many more posts to go you had before you leveled up.
Our time is drawing near. Rally all those who would aid our cause. The time for action will soon be at hand.
that probably just means they haven't posted since Spiggan made the change; hence the reason he is telling people the numbers will show once they post ;)
I liked the bar graph. It was less specific...it's nice to know if you're getting close, but the exact level-up post could still be a surprise.
Ah, the subtle distinctions between poo-shovelers and peasants.
There are no footprints *waves hand*.
I may be a brawler but even we have friends. I mean who's place do you think I stay at when I'm wandering around looking for fights? I wont forget the assistance of all those who aided my escape from prison and also helped to hide me until the heat died down.
Now I wouldn't be against beating Cthulhu's master for putting that bounty on my head but I guess I need his assistance in that one.
Oh and on a side note your forest was much nicer than that camel poo filled belfry.

Ick, dungeons are icky and none too clean. I'm much too much of a clean freak to live in dungeons, I'd freak.
escaped connotates that he only recently "left" the jail. Wandering could mean he's been at it for quite some time and the authorities have given up looking.

Excuse me? As a mercenary, I was hired to find him. We are still after you, Monsta!
You never know there could be perks to being the faithful, 'honorable servant'. Maybe your master has too many daughters. Or is old and rich and ready to keel over :)
No cry, give it a few weeks.
Curmudgeon. A word that definitely does not get enough use these days =).
I'm curious why, as a student of light magic, I went from tyrant to despot. Sounds more darkish magic to me. :)
Nah, he is just ringing his bell.... :) I think it is required on all of his posts, or should be, until he levels up ;) And no, Paper can't move poo with his mind, he is an expert shoveler, which means, unfortunately for him, that he must shovel. More work, and not as much mental stimuli, but then again, he does have us to come play with after work ;)
I am an expert in shoveling, not in poo. Good point. I still think I need to build my laser canon camel mount.
Is it clear? *looks around shiftily*
Ah well I think I can stand some newbie merc looking for me. I mean he may have weapons but I do know how to fight. And if worst comes to worst then I'll hide out in one of my many safe places provided by loyal friends.
Well, I guess this is what I get for complaining about being bored. I am now under attack, though I do not yet know why or by whom. I did find some dried camel poo splattered on the outside of my hut, though.
Wow, things are sure heating up! :D
I'm just glad that I can always just hide in my tower until it all blows over :)
*DING!*
Apparently I supervise Poo now. Does that mean I just hang around in an office and file paperwork and the Poo shovels itself?
You have your tower, I have my forests.....same thing, only mine wasn't recently filled with a camel poo covered escaped convict. ;)

I mean, I'm a forester, but does that give me special Jedi-like mind powers? I think it should. :D
Gravy would lead us into battle ringing his bell and shouting "Bring out your dead".
He would be followed closely by me who would wander around his perimeter providing security.
Then Paper would follow with his camel mounted poo canon as fire support.
Finally we would have the use of dawncawley who could cover our tracks and give intelligence on the terrain we would have to cross.
Chaos, why don't you give up your juvenile chiding and realize I am not scared. Your prods will not have an effect.
I would like to see the plot you come up with my friend because it appears in this one you have the short end of the stick.
Wow....I read that as LlamaMonsta for a moment. Was curious what holiday that could have been used on.
That's right I did leave you out but you are not forgotten. You will play an integral role in our success. That role I don't really know at this point. . . .
I'm kidding, we may have to march on your master first and take care his evils ways to free you from his oppression. Once that is done you could aid us logistically. You must have experience in running a household with supplies and preparations. Well these things are just as important to an army as they are to a home. You would be welcome in our ranks.
When you all finish your quest, or whatever it is you're doing, and die horrible, heartwrenching, either dramatically impressive or completely pointless deaths, I'll be sure to rob your graves so I can sell your parts to the mad scientist down the lane who will bring you back as a crime against nature. It should be fun.
I have broken free of my indentured service. I am beginning to discover that the path to true honor must be backed up by the knowledge of combat and self-preservation.
I have lots of trees in my forest for making pies.
Watch your backs, I'm a full mercenary now.
Is poo worth anything on the open market? Cause you know I got a cr....well I got a lot of it.
Oh so now we see the real Chaos. Not the intimidating or imposing person he trys so hard to be but the jealous little kid on the corner who got left out of the wiffel ball game. Well I find that a shame. Seeing how I am now a sword for hire I can also respect your willingness to change sides for money. I mean that really only shows your loyalty to those who pay you. I must regret that I will not be willing to pay any price to be free of you. I mean my continual escape only succeededs in keeping you employed, if it is a contract that you are following. I will be looking for contracts myself in the near future and only hope to find the name Chaos on the other end of one. Remember a good merc is only as good as those who support him. We all need informants, suppliers and supporters.
Sword for hire........Is that like renting the sword? Can anyone rent it? It would be funny if Chaos rented your sword from you then killed you with it. I love irony, and pie. Honestly, though, I think Chaos would much rather kill you with a giant wall of text than a sword any day. :P :P :P
Sword for hire........Is that like renting the sword? Can anyone rent it?Brandon has a joke based on something like this in Way of Kings Prime. I was searching through it the other night trying to identify the scene he read from at those readings, but couldn't find it. I did get reminded that there are plenty of cool scenes in the book though.
Yeah, whomever had the rapier better be damn quick. I'm sorry to tell you Cthulhu, I see a grievous injury in your future, followed by a time of reflection as you admire your healed wound until you are suddenly eager to assist some Lord who makes you polish his sword every day. ;)
Wenches!
Oh...wait.....right...Cathedral....hmmm....
What exactly is an "Embattled" page? Is the Page having an inner turmoil? or is the Page actually fighting with someone? Or is there a war somewhere and the Page is just kind of stuck in the middle hoping that no one notices their presence ?
Duels in the Cathedral hall to keep in shape, cannons and warnings systems int he bell tower, and I propose using my "accouterments" to make the catacombs a less friendly way to sneak in. What are we still missing?
You guys are treading into dangerous territory now. You may need these defenses more than you know.
Too late now. By the way, why does your bell only swing one way? Would it kill you to throw a "dong" in with the "ding" every now and then? I am all about equality, I think.
You make it sound like prostitution.
So it would be creepy to know that I am cooking dinner this Thursday?
I'm not too sure about my current title.

I just went from "flea-ridden gutter crawler" to "beggar".
Have I gone up or down in the world? I honestly can't decide.

Cthulhu: Did we already have an attack? Did you get wounded defending the Cathedral? Or was it during something more mischievous?
I definitely was just demoted....'Betrayed Overlord' is SO much better than a 'Hermit.'
Accents....I randomly find myself speaking in British accents. I don't know why....Or some Transylvanian/Italian/Russian mix that I created....I'm not entirely sure HOW I created it, but it just sort of came out of my mouth one day, and now it's my fall-back accent....It's a little weird.
Does that mean I'd have to come out of my hole to get the food? I'm assuming since I'm a hermit, I live away from people...probably in a cave....high on a mountain....in the alps.
I've always wanted to go to Europe...
I should probably go educate myself in hermitism....
I was an aristocrat! I had wealth, status, social graces - my scandals made up the gossip of many a curious townsperson - and just look at me NOW! Forced to live in the very dregs of this society that ate me up and spat me out - nay, my friend, I envy you!
And hey, if I'm a flea-ridden beggar at least they won't be expecting me to save anybody's life.
>>;
I get to look at dead people all day, make all the faces you want, I like change! ;D

Well that's just depressing. :o
Yeah, paying mercenaries to do nothing only works until you get a higher bidder.
And I'm sure there are some dishonourable types out there who can pay better.
Ben - here, hold this.
I knew he wouldn't stay that way for long...He's just as curious as we are....
a face-plant naked into a tree is not to be missed.
Ben, it wouldn't be missed, I'm sure someone here has a camera. ;)
They've never done that for me...
You're not far from leveling up either.....If you both do, that will be 5 today in the course of about 3 hours...that's awesome....
Thank you!
And perhaps! One never knows.
Maybe I'll be come an enlightened beggar, or at least once more a flealess beggar.
Hm. Maybe I'll become a busker, and then instead of begging I can sing for my supper. That sounds more entertaining - for me at least.
(Given what those recent results from the recording studio, I rather doubt it will be entertaining for anyone else. But! That's besides the point!)
Hooray! Levels for everyone!
Wilson: Well, I don't know about huge. But, they're large enough that that's got to be uncomfortable.
Sounds like!
I'm not sure I'd want a snake corpse in my alcohol. Or its venom.
I'm not actually certain which prospect makes me more uncomfortable...
Incidentally, I sure hope those poor snakes were dead BEFORE they put them in the bottles.
.............
Knew there was a reason I shouldn't have gone to sleep.
I missed all that!!!
And now I see why they took my glasses off me a couple of years ago and told me I didn't need them any more....
My intellect vanished ^^
With karaoke?
Karaoke's always good?
Even at tipsy yer dreamin'. ::)
Bedtime at only 4am? Pfft!
(I say that... only 1am here, easy for me to say...)
Haha. Goodnight. Have pleasant dreams about snakes in drinks and being saved at singing Japanese songs!
EDIT: 60 posts?....I got 70. At least. And this is why I say I don't have a life...
I am avoiding Brandon's section, due to not getting HoA until probably Christmas or later. And I am horrible about peeking in spoiler threads. I just can't help myself. Almost everything in there is a spoiler thread now, and rightfully so, but it makes it hard for me to resist.
I don't have any problems with booze and dead things in it. My only problem is that most booze with dead things in it is tequila and I for one am not a fan. That's not to say I wont drink it, that's only saying I would prefer other alternatives. I would think that not drinking booze with dead things in it should be considered alcohol abuse. To me any booze is good booze in the end.
Plus booze in general often leads to things like trying to dodge pine trees while snowboarding naked.
I feel really bad, because I started reading Mistborn because of Writing Excuses, but the ending of book one is technically spoilered by Brandon himself in a few of the first podcasts...
OOOOoooo! I'm now doing something USEFUL and kind of FUN!
I'm now an Organist! Very neat!
I guess that means that I can make the soundtrack for our winter hijynx AND the upcoming battle.
*starts practicing the Lord of the Rings score*

hehe, that's true! I'd forgotten about that :D rotten luck there Paper :(
*waves bell in air*
Bring out yur DEAD!
Or maybe Spriggan comes in with a giant stick and hits everyone and whoever is still standing wins.
Has anyone died yet? I wouldn't be surprised by the obscene post assault. Mayhaps a few have fallen.
And I have seen no dead yet, but Ben really must have something to keep him busy. I wonder if he does autopsies on animals as well. I'm sure in the forest we must have dead animals somewhere. We can let Ben autopsy them before we butcher them for the evening meal. That way he won't be bored. :)
Or maybe Spriggan comes in with a giant stick and hits everyone and whoever is still standing wins.
DING DING DING!
Well thats depressing. What would happen if I got attacked right now. A lone mercenary and no help. *shakes head in shame* Ah well maybe I'll go pick up a bottle and wait for you someone to return.
How very considerate of you. I wouldnt mind an organ at my funeral, that is as long as there are bagpipes aswell
Aren't most hermits generally lonely though?? o.o
since all they'd have to do is look at your profile and see what your username is...
You underestimate the power of LAZINESS :D
I feel offended and unloved.Me too. At least there would be a semi-reason for her leaving to go be more social...But if she's leaving us to go watch a movie....Apparently we're just not cool enough for her, Silk. That really hurts....
"This isn't flying! It's falling with style."
Doesn't cowardice kind of go against that of Honor?
No more than "government work" or "military intelligence"... :D (I work for the gov....)
I see honor as more flexible. To me its more like being true to who you are. Not hypocritical and not taking advantage of people. So I have no problem imagining a scared little mouse of a man, who wouldn't harm a fly being called honorable :)
Yes, delegation is great.
And it IS pretty packed. I'm thinking I might have to get some more assistants if business stays this steady...
I suppose we could always argue that your sense of honour won't let you stab a flea-ridden panhandler in the face...
Totally. I know someone in a renaissance club. They fight with wooden swords (at least I think they're wooden. I've never watched them up-close) and in silly costumes. Maybe we can ask them to help us out....
Is that like some sort of bullet that is comprised of cooties?
Tryyyyyyyyyy it. You'll like it!
Seriously, it's fun. And I was a skeptic.
Well, at first I was confused. Then I was a skeptic. Now I like it.
Which doesn't preclude me being confused.
BUT!
You should duel.
:D

EDIT: I have now levelled up for the 5th time since Wednesday night....Wow. Just...wow.
Because they're his camels, not mine :D
Honest!!
Gloria - At least he's not turned into a Trusted Camel? That would be most strange...

If I am so trusted, what do i get? Cookies? Pie? Lifetime supply of trout?
Pet? That sounds kind of mean =(

There's a very good point there...Isn't it though?
There's a very good point there...Isn't it though?

Not that we would eat Paper or anything, if he WAS a camel, but....yeah. ;)
Well...that depends on what part of the world you're in. Dogs are pets in america...but they're food in Korea...therefore, those pets aren't so much loved (except when being eaten :D)...
I think my laughter has something to do with all the jokes my dad has made in regards to our dog being living food storage.... :o
BACON!!!
We really need to resurrect The Wedding....
Allow me to say this again: Dueling is fun! (maybe if I say it more, people will start believing, and will then join the league!) ;D
I'm not walking down the aisle without a song to walk to! :P
Don't wanna do more Christmas shopping...dumb stores.
heheh, I totally read that "maybe you can set the right fire"
