The Person Below Me
Trutharchivist replied to The Awakened Salad's topic in Forum Games & Random Stuff
Didn't watch them! And I believe Stromekiin refers to the RP Sanderson Elimination, the Shard's version of the game Mafia. TPBM has read the Magnus Archives' transcript. -
What happened to Ta'veren Kaladin? What happened, in my opinion, is that you tagged Thaidakar and then pressed enter. Then, suddenly, the word Ghostblood appeared right after the tagging. Each try at erasing it resulted in multiplying it. You panicked, you tried to keep erasing it, but the problem just escalated. So, you decided to risk your life and summon the Lord Rulers of the Shard. There's no need; from now on, try to put a comma or a dot after each tag. I think it'll solve the problem. Also, you're probably on your phone. Just guessing. Snakes, apparently.

Most definitely. I even mentioned it in my introduction here. TPBM sees Humpty Dumpty from Alice Through the Looking Glass as their model for logic. (Doesn't cross my rule, since the post was about Alice in Wonderland specifically.) -
It's a nice enough idea, but it doesn't work if what you're looking for is truth, only if you look at the consequence. The thing is, if it's truth you're after, believing in God "just in case" doesn't really cover it up. It works only under the assumption you're afraid of the consequences there'll be if you won't believe in God and you'll find out that there is one. And if there is an omniscient God, I'm not sure he'll be taken with the "belief just in case" idea. And the only reason I wrote this post is because of a weird, obscure Doctor Who reference that managed to sneak in. Sorry about that.

Ben stepped out of the car, closed the door behind him and took his suitcase out of the trunk. His father opened the window and said: "Don't forget to tell us how you settled here. Have a good time, learn well and make new friends." "I will." Replied Ben, already starting to walk toward the university. "Goodbye!" "Goodbye!" Said his father, closed the window and drove away. Ben stopped before the gates to the campus, taking the sight in. The university, he knew, was founded by Sod Owlson, who was of Wanderer descent. Specifically, he was an Owlson, of those focused in collecting knowledge. Even after the animals which they resembled meant nearly nothing, the Wanderers remembered and presented them: owl faces, signs of wisdom and knowledge, were engraved to the pillars of the gate. Ben realized with a start that he stood there for too long. He blushed a little and went on, looking around him with a smile on his face. The campus was beautiful, including the buildings with the wonderful union of old and new, the grass, the trees and the ponds. When he was close to the dormitories, Ben stopped and pulled his student card out of his pocket. It said he was stationed in Ignatius hall, room number 305. He went there. Apparently, it was on the second floor. He lifted the suitcase up the stairs, found his room, and placed his suitcase on the bed to the right from the door. He then sat on the bed, shot a quick look on his watch, pulled a history book from his suitcase and started reading. He was the first to arrive at the room.

Impossible. My posts are boring, there's nothing to like about them.
-
True. But someone did. I'm no longer a misting, but a silent gatherer is not much better, I should think.

Yes. And it seems Blake wants to assassinate me. Sadly, I'm afraid he failed. You both are my first victims.
-
Well, because of you I'm now a silent gatherer. Now, allow me to cut your veins and transcribe your death rattle, it'll only take a couple of minutes, and then you won't feel a thing.

Did you just... Upvote all my posts in the previous page? I'm sorry, but I disagree with your statement. I don't post plenty of upvote worthy stuff. I post some that pass unnoticed, I think, but not that many. At least, looking at it from the "people upvote things they find funny" angle. From the "you should upvote theories/posts that much effort was put into" angle, though, I have even less upvote worthy posts. Though I'm probably also far less funny than I think.

I went to your activity page, to the posts option, and counted how many posts there are on each page. Then I counted the ones on the last page, did the multiplication and added the amount on the last page. It doesn't include status updates/replies/posts on profile pages, or news replies, or anything outside the forum's threads.
-
Worry not! By my calculation, including forum games, you have 2396 posts! So your rep/post ratio is way lower than you thought.
-
Says a person who didn't resist the siren song of forum games. Just because it doesn't appear in your post count doesn't mean it's not there. And somehow, I'm the "senior Sharder" here (I'm around for nearly two years), and still have the worst post to upvote ratio. I refuse to blame RPs; I just don't write upvote worthy content.

That, quite frankly, is a good question. Which is what I usually say when I don't have an answer. Lately, I find myself busy with the period about two to three centuries ago, give or take, so that's a period I take interest in. Generally, the beginning of the modern era. Those were times of change and new things for Europe, which is what we learn about in schools. I'm also somewhat romanticizing the middle ages, but admittedly, this was a horrible time to be a Jew at. And so, the beginning of the modern era it is! You go for the hard ones, don't you... I learned physics in high school, and don't know much chemistry or biology. Not interested in them too much either. I enjoy mathematics, partially due to the fact that given all of the axiomes and enough time, anyone can solve every problem. In theory. I thought so for a time, but realized that the time part is a big problem. And the axiomes might be, too. I'd have gone for social science, but... Well... I'm not sure about that. I don't really intend to learn those for now. I have some mild interest in Linguistics and Anthropology, with an emphasis on the "mild". I don't think I'll fully learn them, but for some reason, ancient, lost cultures are of interest to me. Perhaps because I belong to a nation older than most modern nations. Or that just a weird part of who I am.

You're on the wrong planet. You are aware of that, right?

No, not really. I mean, some of them are weird, and apparently intersect with TLT? And then there's the Alleyverse, which is a perfectly normal thing to be afraid of, but most of them are fine, I think. I joined a few, most of which died. Hopefully won't happen to these new RPs I've joined! TPBM has a favorite fantasy creatures that isn't a dragon, a wyvern or anything similar. -

Jews don't have anything against 13, plenty for it. Also, different dating system: in our months, it was the twelfth. If you'll look at Wikipedia, it recounts some Christian origins to the superstition, though it's not the only source sited there. I just want to mention that I think many things in western culture come from Christianity, whether you know and acknowledge that or not. I may be wrong, though And it would be nice, I guess. I'm not completely sure. Probably will happen before the Mars thing, but this is more of my brother's dream, and he prefers Mars over the Moon. TPBM notices random mentions of ancient gods in their day to day speech. -
That sounds like a good view on it. I watched the movie last Thursday. It was... Somewhat disappointing.

Oh, yeah, I noticed that during that day. Not a Christian, though, so I didn't really think much of it. TPBM wants to be in the first Mars colony (when there'll be one). -
You know, one of those days someone will answer "I'm a Jew/Muslim/other, I don't know any church hymns". Asking questions with an assumption can be problematic. What is the meaning of your username, and why you chose it?

Kind of. Ah. Only recent USA history, then. Why does everybody like recent history much more than ancient history? TPBM is going to sleep with their socks on sometimes.
