  1. Good choice, when they take over the world you are welcome to take shelter in my bunker.
  2. Are you more worried about the zombie apocalypse or the octopus apocalypse?
  3. I am the emoji version of a Dysian Aimian.
  4. I now have 8 new favorite words.
  5. Welcome to the Shard, have an upvote and a cookie. Unfortunately, I am also in the category of non-digital-who-friends-won't-read-the-Cosmere, getting around the boundary of geography is what the Shard is for. What is your favorite Cosmere work?
  6. I assure you, it's is simply magical.
  7. Did you know that there is a species of parasite in the continental United States that make infected humans exhibit aggressive behavior? Also, did you know that 1/2 of the united states is northern and the other half is southern, 1/2 of America is eastern and 1/2 is western? Therefore America is double its own land mass.
  8. To be fair, yes it is a little dark but the research opportunities are amazing.
  9. I am quite healthy, thank you. Perhaps I should give you an upvote and a cookie?
  10. 3:00 am in the Tahiti Time Zone (because we all know who sleeps in the south-east Pacific) ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn
  11. You type a "@" character followed by the user's name, for instance, I summon @TheYoungPyromancer, as you type the username a drop-down menu will appear that you can select the user from. Alternatively, you can draw a pentagram at 3:00 am and chant the name of the demon Sharder you wish to summon 3 times.

  13. Welcome to the shard, have an upvote and a cookie, out of all the characters in Stormlight which is your favorite?
  14. I agree that the mods are doing a great job, I rarely see spam that has been on for longer than 1 hour. But the spam keeps coming, I often report 2-6 spam posts per day. I think that we don't need more mods as much as we need preventative measures. I hypothesize that the spammers are actual people and therefore can get past the Captcha. If Captchas are no longer a viable source of defense then what do we do? We make the site less attractive to spammers. After some cursory research, I think I have found a relatively simple way to do exactly this. We make all past, present, and future external links nofollow, whatever spam farm is funding this will no longer be able to make a profit and the spammers will move on to easier prey. In a few months, we remove the external link ban and hope the spammers don't realize that we have.
  15. One of my favorites is the Mistborn Santa.
  16. Or maybe they could impose a no posting in the first hour an account is created.
  17. I nominate @Parttimedragon
  18. Welcome to the Shard have an upvote and a cookie. What was your favorite moment in SA?
