Mistrunner Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Isn't it more likely to get hit by lightning than to win the lottery?
Seonid he/him Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 I was largely worried about it coming across as pretentious, but I think I'll try it out. Worst case scenario is that it dies down, best case scenario is that other people start their own I can pester with questions. Yet another topic I'd be interested in seeing. I'll probably have to start up one or two of my own...
Kaymyth she/her Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Isn't it more likely to get hit by lightning than to win the lottery? Statistically, yes. Though statistics are weird. Eventually, there will be so many people buying tickets that it'll be statistically likely to have multiple winning tickets hit the jackpot.
Voidus Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Isn't it more likely to get hit by lightning than to win the lottery? Depends on the lottery, how many tickets you buy and how frequently you wander around barefoot in stormy weather poking giant trees with copper rods.
Mistrunner Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Depends on the lottery, how many tickets you buy and how frequently you wander around barefoot in stormy weather poking giant trees with copper rods. Wait, wait, is that bad? 1
Curious Anamaximder he/him Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Depends on the lottery, how many tickets you buy and how frequently you wander around barefoot in stormy weather poking giant trees with copper rods. That's not normal? I may have to rethink my weekend plans.
Mistrunner Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 That's not normal? I may have to rethink my weekend plans. I know! I guess I'll go with my backup plan- swimming during a thunderstorm!
Kobold King he/him Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Yet another topic I'd be interested in seeing. I'll probably have to start up one or two of my own... Here's a link! And I'd love to see some Edassan AMAs.
DreamEternal Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Here's a link! And I'd love to see some Edassan AMAs. Makes me want to try one for my own setting, but I feel like I shouldn't for some reason. Maybe because of how little I've managed to actualy write.
Kobold King he/him Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Makes me want to try one for my own setting, but I feel like I shouldn't for some reason. Maybe because of how little I've managed to actualy write. Hey, it wouldn't hurt. And it really does help you think of things you might not have considered on your own. I'd certainly be there asking questions!
DreamEternal Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Hey, it wouldn't hurt. And it really does help you think of things you might not have considered on your own. I'd certainly be there asking questions! Well... I guess I've got to try to see if it works. It kinda helps that currently I am unable to write much anyway, since I am at my most creative during midnight, yet I've to study in the morning.
Blaze1616 he/him Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Isn't it more likely to get hit by lightning than to win the lottery? As a friend of mine put it, you're more likely to get it by two different bolts of lightning simultaneously, while battling a shark, atop Air Force One, than you are to win the lottery. 1
Kaymyth she/her Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) As a friend of mine put it, you're more likely to get it by two different bolts of lightning simultaneously, while battling a shark, atop Air Force One, than you are to win the lottery. And yet nobody has ever enacted this awesome scene, yet people win the lottery on a regular basis. (This in no way indicates that any of us are likely to win the lottery anytime ever.) I say again, statistics are weird. Edited January 10, 2016 by Kaymyth

I wonder what kind of superpowers you'd get from that. 1

(This in no way indicates that any of us are likely to win the lottery anytime ever.) Mmm, that's because the government has covered it all up. It was atop Air Force One after all. They don't want it getting out that Sharks are actually aliens that have taken residence in the oceans because we already had the land. It all goes back to Area 51!
Patar he/him Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Random college quote taken out of context: Person 1: Dude, I'm 60% panda! Myself: Wow, that's like, 19% more panda than I am. 5
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Some notes on AoL: Wayne rocks. Steris is insane, but....I kind of like her? Wax is cool. So far, I think I like Era 2 more than Era 1. 4
Kobold King he/him Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Some notes on AoL: Wayne rocks. Steris is insane, but....I kind of like her? Wax is cool. So far, I think I like Era 2 more than Era 1. I was curious what you'd think of it. I loved it, but my mom couldn't get through it the first time she tried it.

I'm torn on Era 2 v Era 1. Vin is just about my favourite character of all time and I want to adopt her, but Wayne is just really awesome.

Right now I like Era 2 better, but it's probably because I've read it more recently. That and Era 2 has Wayne, who is absolutely awesome.
DreamEternal Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) Well... I guess I've got to try to see if it works I think it(the AMA for my setting) worked. Edited January 11, 2016 by DreamEternal
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 In the Minneapolis airport waiting for my next flight. Seahawks beat the Vikings. I probably shouldn't tell anyone I'm a Seahawks fan.

Wayne is the best. I kind of have a hardcore crush on him. (I have a really weird type.) Steris is completely insane, and she's also awesome. You'll appreciate her particular brand of awesome even more in Shadows of Self.
