Eerongal

I would like to announce that my fiancee's ARC of the alloy of law came in today! Now i just have to wait for her to finish it

sure they will, but at the moment, they have way too many hats to keep making for tf2!

Sitting down heavily at the bar, i feel the weight of my exhaustion from the fight. Mulling over the bartender's question for a moment, i reply, "I'll have a dancing spheremorph, heavy on the gin" Pulling out some coins, i throw a few extra down on the bar "Also, whatever talk that's going about that you've been keen enough to pick up...."

hey, i said it was pretty weird Edit: apparently MTV called this video "NSFL" (not safe for life), which is probably a pretty accurate tag, so i went ahead and put that in the original post

The big bad wolf (warning: Pretty NSFW, also pretty weird.... and very NSFL - not safe for life)

Experimentally flexing my now healed flesh, I begin to redress myself. With a smile and a nod, i bid the healer a farewell, and work my way out of the infirmary. Let's see....What to do now? I assume I have a bit of free time on my hands to play with, given the vast amount of fights that are to be happening for first rounds still. Grimacing, I glance around my whereabouts to get my bearings on my current location. Honestly....I could probably do for a little relaxing. Maybe I'll find myself a nice pub. Who knows, maybe I can glean a little information about something there, between a few nice, relaxing drinks of course.... I smirk a bit and nod to myself, and with that, I set off to look for somewhere for a bit of unwinding after a hard fought battle.

so you plan on dying at about 35? Also: happy birthday, have some cake

Sounds like shadowrun. In shadowrun (4th edition. older editions have MUCH bigger dice pools) you have a stat (let's say, "strength"), and a skill (let's say, a "good ol' punch in the mouth") and you set your strength to say 4, and your skill to say 5. When you roll for punching someone in the mouth, you would then add these two numbers together, for a total of 9, and roll 9 D6's

"I see. It is a might strange all of the comforts and luxuries that are just thrown around here. One has to wonder who this 'benefactor' really is." Flexing my arms a bit more, I stand and stretch a bit, feeling the obvious relief from pain. "So....I have a feeling I all ready know the answer to this, given the lavishness of things around here, but how much do I owe you for the healing? I suspect most payments around here seem to be in a 'all ready taken care of nature' and if that's the case...." i pull out a few coins from my pouch and hold them in my open palm, "I assume there are no rules against tipping the patron for a job well done, right?"

yeah, that's why the gratuitous use of them here pleased me I can't imagine what the rest of these boards looked like if we actually used them to the extent they probably should given how many spoilers are discussed pretty casually Anyways, yeah, given what we know about the cosmere in general, i'd say your answers are probably pretty close to what brandon would say on the subject.

yeah, i was totally watching the android news site i visit earlier waiting for the story for it to break. I was planning on waiting for nvidia's quad core chipset in phones before i upgrade, but i might just compromise and get the galaxy nexus instead. It's totally sexy.

as far as i know, there aren't any publishers that really visit the forums here, but i personally would be interested to hear tor's (brandon's publisher) opinion on the subject. They've always seemed like a super open, really easy publisher to work with, and my guess is that they'd probably find it distasteful at best.

Yeah, it's certainly not an easy metric to measure. Though, i suppose that relatively speaking, comparing what you got year to year with someone (that is, comparing what say I got back in 2002 to what someone here got in say the last couple of years or so) isn't exactly proportionally correct, but at the same time is probably mostly accurate in the sense that, law of averages and all, the scores probably don't fluctuate that greatly year to year. That is, of course, barring some sort of extreme increase to the overall intelligence of future test takers. Though, it is interesting to wonder. My 31, and your 30, how do they REALLY compare up? Would my 31 be like a 28 or something for your year? Would your 30 end up being like 33 or 34 back when i took it?

Yeah, i've always been slightly curious as to how they measure it. Because I know they supposedly reevaluate it every year or something so that the score percentiles remain the same (i.e. if students in 2007 scored terribly like, say the 97th percent tile was 25% of questions right, then you still scored that 30 or so on it) and then on top of that they spread it around in a funny manner like you're saying where the "97th" percentile is spread over like 4 or 5 points.

Yeah....that's why I was sort of confused where the issues was Is that what you're looking for?

sure.

yeah, honestly a point or two really doesn't mean a whole lot. The only reason I would have considered retaking it was if i totally bombed it and got like 12 or something on it. Going from like 25-26 or something wouldn't really change a whole lot. Though, back in the day, it was pretty awesome getting such a nice score while being like totally unprepared, because everyone I talked to about it was all "Wow, you must have really studied pretty hard!" to which I generally replied "Nope! Showed up with a calculator without studying a minute!."

But the link i've shown the picture of is also on there and works just the same? Is he talking about just clicking the topic name? Because i think that screen functions exactly the same as browsing the forum topics, doesn't it (i never really use it, so i dont know....)

Hrm....cut off a bit abruptly there....Hiding something? Oh well, best not to press it. "Very well. Sleep well, you've earned rest." Nodding to her, I turn back to watch the healer work upon my wounds. "Tell me, healer, how often do you have to use such powerful, and not to mention expensive, methods of curing wounds? That seems like it would get pricey after a time...." Flex my arms carefully, i enjoy the relief brought about from my lack of severe burns.

i'm not entirely clear what you're talking about. Are you talking about this: The "go to unread reply" link/button? Because when i click that it goes directly to the first post I haven't read. As in scrolled down to it and everything.
