Rubix

So if I go insane...

Well more insane anyway.

And go on a spiking rampage, just remember it's all the admins fault.

Pssh. Only the admins get to go on spiking sprees. Speaking of... We're due for one soon, I think.

Either Rubix is Rubixing again or the admins just want to pass Kobold in rep.

 

Probably both.

Rubix pulls out his puzzles and starts playing with them

The upvote feature is going to be disabled for days?

I'm surprised that you latched onto that over this:

Just wait until we hit the master reset button.

Nooo, how am I going to defeat Kobold now!?

Just wait until we hit the master reset button.

Post count. Go!

Spamming. NO!

That isn't ominous at all...

Nope! 

Drats, they finally figured it out... through all their sleuthing, they finally realized that I am an AI that feeds off the upvote/downvote system and have cut me off from my food source to either kill me or compel me to some other dark forum!

Your words.

Why, if I may ask?

More info is coming, this isn't the time or place, however. Keep an eye out over the next day or so.

Have the upvote and downvote buttons disappeared for anyone else?

Yes.

Me too, site maintenance gone wrong I assume.

Not site maintenance, but it was intentional.

Hey guys, just a heads up, this thread needs to be kept respectful. Just because someone may have forgotten a plot detail doesn't mean that gives you license to insult their reading ability. Such posts will not be tolerated.

I haven't heard anything that would indicate that it won't be at BYU as usual.

Hey, at least you're a beta reader. We all have to wait even longer than you do.

Brandon has said in the past that he's going to do with Nightblood what he did with Warbreaker, and post it up as he writes it, chapter by chapter. So if that stays true, I'll be getting it the same time you do.

Rubix is a beta? That explains why he doesn't often post on theory threads: too much risk of spoilers.

I don't post much anywhere these days. This is a factor, however.

Sooner than soon. So... soon. Got it.

That implies that Nightblood is going to be soon... *sobs uncontrollably*

That translates to "before Nightblood comes out".

Sooner than that.

Honestly, we'll look at it once we've deployed the new software.

As a reminder: Starting up a new thread should ONLY be done once an admin or mod has locked the previous one.

Just asking, but have either of you read the endings?

They have, as have some other members of this site, myself included.

Ok thanks

Just a heads up, spoiler tags aren't allowed in signatures.

Keep this thread on topic.

That seems... mean. Were they just super tight about spoilers?

That's their official answer.

Your theater doesn't do employee pre-screening? All the theaters in my area do, which is why I ask. Not pre-screening really gives the employees the shaft...

We do when the production company lets us. Disney said no to every theater in the country.

Good Job Admins! However, your news post says that anyone who trolls or post spoilers, even fake spoilers, would be banned. Kipper wasn't.

Policy is in effect from the time of posting forward.

I have to ask. How much was this post was influenced by Kipper on the Random Stuff thread?

Honestly, we had been talking about it based on a number of factors. One of which was our experiences browsing other sites, such as Reddit and Facebook and running into people dropping either real spoilers or fake spoilers. Another was the fact that my day job is working at a movie theater, where I'm working 9:30 PM to 3 AM tonight, and where I'm almost positive that the movie is going to be spoiled for me, even though I'd really rather that it wasn't. We'd already been talking about putting a clear policy into place, and we were talking about what we wanted it to be. Admittedly, Kipper's post came along before we had the opportunity to finalize and make this post, but it was going to be made anyway.

Hey Everyone.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens is just hours away from premiering, and I know people here on the site are going to want to talk about the movie after they've seen it. For that purpose, there's a thread up (linked here), for all discussion of the movie. Any discussion regarding spoilers of any kind need to stay in that thread until AT LEAST the new year (the admins are still discussing when exactly we'll end the moratorium on spoilers). Even if you have a new theory that is sparked by the movie, if you need to reference something in the movie, please hold off on posting the theory as its own thread until this spoiler-free period is up. 

As this movie is one of the most anticipated films of the last few years, we're going to be VERY quick to respond to spoilers posted outside of this thread. Our basic plan is that on a first offense, if we determine that you're posting details (real or not) to troll, flame, or ruin the movie for other members, you're going to be banned until at least the new year, and possibly until the end of the spoiler period. If we conclude that it was an innocent slip, your post will be edited or removed, and you'll receive a PM letting you know that we've done so, and letting you know that you need to not do so again. I know that this policy is harsh, but I've seen many other places on the internet where trolls are posting spoilers abound, and I'm not going to have that happening here.

If you see any spoilers, please remember that the report button is your friend, and we'll get on it as soon as possible.

If you have any questions, as always, feel free to leave them here in the thread, or drop me a PM.

Rubix

almost all of Brandon's books were there in their various formats (including Firefly).

I didn't know that Brandon had written a Firefly tie in novel...

The admins have always been excellent when it comes to being open and transparent about what happens on the forum. Try shooting Rubix a PM about it.

I will talk about it via PM, if anyone's interested.

Edit: I've hidden a number of requests while I type up a message to send out, just to help keep the thread on topic. If anyone else is interested in being added to the PM, feel free to PM me.

And it's about to get better.
