skyward 4 progress bar enhancement!
CadCom replied to Doomstick's topic in General Brandon Discussion
While I understand this sentiment, and frankly agree, I know people, who, even if you use a term indiscriminately, still prefer that you don't use the term to describe them due to the way they personally identify. Just because someone uses a term indiscriminately, doesn't mean someone else understands it indiscriminately. (These are not necessarily my thoughts on the issue, Just thoughts that I saw online.) Further discussion of this might be more appropriate in another forum. (Is there like a "Politics and Social Issues" thread? Because that's where it would probably fit in best. Anyway, back to the thread topic. I think it's also fun to watch the Stormlight 4 and 5 outlining. 88% now! Still 47% for stormlight 4 rough draft though- 576 replies

On days like today, Tom wondered if it would even matter if he quit. The end of the world seemed just around the corner anyways. Tom had enough in savings. He could cash out, and purchase enough supplies to last his familyabout a month and a half. It would certainly be better to spend time with his wife and kids. Tom worked at the local tavern. If health inspectors or Obligators came through, he was an assistant to the cook, but his real job was to gently riot the visitors. Enough to get them rowdy, but not so much to cause fights. Fights were bad for business. It was a delicate balance. And focusing on that, while disguising yourself as a kitchen worker was hard work. A work he was not paid or treated well enough for. Tom decided it was time to act. Walking up to the owner, [insert name here]* he began, "[Insert name here], I'm quitting tonight, unless my wage is doubled. The economy is crashing, and the world probably is ending. It's no longer worth my current wage to continue working here." Before the owner could respond, he continued. "My shift ends in three hours. I will come discuss the matter with you after my shift ends. I just wanted to make you aware, so you could make a conscious decision." Then Tom walked away, back to rioting the guests from the comfort of a nook in the kitchen with a slit in the wall allowing him to peer into the dining area. ------ Edit: If anyone wants to RP the owner, by all means go for it. If not, then Tom will probably end up quitting regardless.

Quality of Drawing is 9.5/10. Shadows are wonderfully done 8.5/10 total, due to it's difficult to see the drawing.

Great picture. I wish Shallan's dress stood out more, or the background was lighter grey. 7/10

I think I'll have time for this game, after my short absence. Sign me up as Tom.

More questions: If Harry Potter were a fable, what would be the moral of the story? What is the greater purpose of the Earth? How many trumps could Trump trump if Trump trumpeted while playing trumps? If you could travel to one national park(from any country) which would you choose? There's a Snake in my boot? Do you believe it will ever be possible to construct wormholes large enough for people to travel through, thereby allowing humanity to bend space-time, and travel intergalactically in a matter of seconds? Apples or Oranges (Answer to previous question) or pears? what is 7 X 7?(this is not a trick question)(or maybe it is)(There's no wrong answers) How about I start a knock knock joke for you, as I almost started Truthless's Joke, but I knew I would ruin the punchline for him. Knock Knock?

The worst! The music video is also the slightest bit disturbing. -

Now let's all agree, to never get creative again. -
Yes, that makes you cool. That also makes you cool. However, I vote on people based on their history of decisions in leadership, and their positions on policies that I find on their campaign platform. Which one of you is more likely to give me more eggs, while also giving comparatively less eggs to everyone else? Also how many eggs do each of you have? Or perhaps I should vote for the person who plays more Sanderson Elimination.

I would like to join the game, though I understand literally nothing about it.(But based on the OP, that's part of the point, right?) (Including how many eggs everyone has) May I start with 100 eggs?

I thought that the calls were all done online now? But, yes, essentially, we open a document or letter, that informs that person where they have been called to serve. In this case, a calling is where members of the church believe that the Lord has asked them to serve a mission. Kind of like when someone in a book feels like they have been called to complete a quest, except the calling isn't revealed to the person going on the quest, instead, it's revealed to men who we believe are prophets. Congrats! Keep learning Japanese! After your mission if you speak fluent spanish, fluent japanese, and fluent english, you will have lot's of great opportunities in life! It is definitely not one of those buildings in CA from when spain still owned it. At least not in the sense we are using it. Ethan and Aon explained it pretty well, but let me just add a bit more. As members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, (Often refered to as the LDS church, or Mormon church) one of our core beliefs is the importance of sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and inviting others to live it's teachings with us. For reasons difficult to explain simply, we believe that the Lord has called all worthy, able, young men to serve a mission, and has opened the invitation to others as well. Even though we believe that all young men have been called, it is still their right to accept or reject the call, and this is done by those who are willing to serve fill out an application, and wait to see where they have been asked to serve. Then the missionary will leave their home, for two years, where they are expected to abide by the rules that were explained in basic detail prior to their leaving, and explained in more detail, once you actually arrive. The missionary usually follows a strict-ish schedule where they search for those willing to listen to their message, and preach the gospel to those people. The missionary should always be with a companion 24/7, except bathroom breaks and stuff like that, who is there to help share the message, make sure the other abides by the rules, as well as for safety purposes. Basically extreme buddy system. But I don't want to go into way too much detail here, as that is not the purpose of this thread. Everything has a place and purpose. I hope I've answered most of the questions you might have "What is a mission" "Why go" "How is it set up" "what is it's purpose." But if you have any more questions about the set up of a mission, feel free to PM me, I've served a mission too (in Chile), and I held various different positions within the mission's structure. (Don't worry, I won't preach anything to you unless you want to, I'll just help you answer the questions about what a mission, because from my experience, there are many people who are relatively curious about missionaries(Men with white shirts and black plaques on their chest), but don't ask questions, because they are afraid that they will be preached to.) ---------------- Anyway, back to the thread.... I win!

No, that can't be right, I think to myself. I am not destined for greatness. "Oh great and wise mage, are you certain this is my future" I ask the mage. "Certainly," the mage said, matter-of-fact-ly. "The ability I have to read the future is given to me by the greatest wizard of all time, the Great Hangrot. You should trust this vision" As he finished speaking, the unknown mage flapped his cloak, and disappeared, the remainders of his black cloak floating to the ground. As I begin the treacherous walk down the mountain path, I question the accuracy of the mage. "Surely, no one can see the future" I mutter under my breath. "I am in charge of my own choices, and therefore my own destiny." Hours later, I arrive back at my village. There is smoke coming from my part of town. I let curiosity get the better of me, and hurriedly, I go to see what is on fire. As I get closer, to the fire, my apprehension begins to grow. I turn the last corner, and see that it is my underwater basketweaving shop that is on fire. After asking around, I learn that my neighbor was attempting to light a fire for his evening meal, when his fireplace unexpectedly collapsed, releasing a cloud of smoke concealing a flurry of sparks. Some of those sparks seem to have landed on my pile of twigs, and reeds, used for basketweaving. Now my home and shop was burnt down. Among the devestation, I hear the distant sounds of the town main street. Music begins, and I realize that a Minstrel Troupe has come to town. I immediately decide that the unknown mage cannot tell the future. I decide to ignore the Minstrels. I square my shoulders, set my jaw, and begin plans for reparation of my business. No mage will make decisions for me. I am certain that the fireplace collapsing was the work of the mage, and not mere coincidence. You are an entity called Life. For millenia you have been spreading life chaotically to a new and unorganized universe. You have had no conciousness. A new entity, Sentience has spread fare enough to touch you, and granted you sentience. Not a moment later, you feel that you have now given Sentience life. As you and Sentience become aware, and alive, you Sentience realizes that there is great potential if you combine your efforts. What do you do next? *Note: This may be used to help me brainstorm ideas for a world I am attempting to build. It is also free game if anyone else wants to build a world off the same idea.

Interesting poll results. Exactly half said that dogs are either "Yes" or "Obviuosly" better friends than people, and the other half at this point said they are not. Then one third said that we do need people, one third said we don't, and one third questioned the validity of the question in the first place.

On a scale of 1 to 10, What number would you be least likely to put for an answer? Why did you just put that number? Are you in favor of banning fun?(It's part of my plan to take over the galaxy) If you could spend a day vacationing anywhere on Earth, where would you spend, knowing it's your last vacation for 15 years. What is time?

Are you? What's your favorite idea? Is freedom free? Would you consider yourself free? On a familial level? On a societal level? On a National level? On a systemic level? If you you were forced to publicly execute one superhero from either Marvel or DC, who would it be? If fruits had personalities, which would you most relate with? Are you the current embodiment of a greek god? -
That is a very good question. Because.

Granted. Your breath now smells like a puppy. Your boon is that you cannot say the letter G. I wish to be on the maiden voyage of the first Carnival cruise line through the Reshi Isles on Roshar.
