    While this was going on, I stole the sandwich through means which have been withheld to protect our agents in the field.

    Anyone up for a game of Mornington Crescent?

    Fun colors. 8/10

    That was assuming that links to all relevant things would take up multiple lines. However, I didn't realize that spoiler boxes took up more space than a normal line - that makes more sense.

    That was in response to a different question - Shattered Cosmere wanted to know why spoilers couldn't essentially be spoiler boxes. I understand the reasons that Chaos gave but am still a little unclear on why more information about something you said (i.e. "check out my artwork here [[Links in spoiler]]) couldn't take up one of the lines in your signature.

    May I ask why spoiler boxes aren't allowed in sigs?

    I deviously explode the sandwich and steal it.

    I turn the '1' in the denominator on its side, causing Super Dragon Blast to become 3/-0. The introduction of an undefined fraction causes the simulation to crash and I take the sandwich, which has really been on the starting hill all this time.

    A nice reference to current events, including the cause of the brewing revolution against Number 1 Taln Fan. 10/10

    Gods and men, ight?

    Seems unlikely

    While everyone is having non-bold discussions, I slip through space and steal the sandwich.

    You could become a horrible person that no one likes! But then people might still upvote your old posts, so I guess that wouldn't work. /j

    I'm gonna have to purify the text aren't I.
  19. NerdyAarakocra
    Yes to the first, no to the second. Have you read Foundryside?
  20. NerdyAarakocra
    I summon Dr. Doof back to this thread to shrink the sandwich with his new shrinkinator ray. This ejects you from the sandwich and I grab it.

    I am unfortunately unaware of the intricacies of Canadian politics. 1/0

    Well, before midnight, I should probably make a post for "Ancient Roman Guy got Stabbed Day."

    Because of the infamy of Caesar's death and the date that it happened, many people (including myself, up until recently) make the mistake of assuming that the ides of any month is its 15th. That is not so.

    The Romans measured dates by counting back (inclusively) from one of three special days in each month, those being the Kalends (the first) the Nones (the fifth*), and the Ides (the 13th*). Any date that happened to fall on one of those days would simply be rendered as that day, any date that fell directly before would be "predie" whatever the relevant day, and other dates would be signified by the phrase "ante diem" (before the day). February 11th of this year, for example, would be "Ante Diem III Ides Ian. MMDCCLVIII AUC. AUC stands for "Ab Urbe Condita," meaning "From the founding of the city." This could be abbreviated as a. d. III ids. ian, plus all of the annoying Roman Numerals for the year.

    "But wait!" I hear you crying. "Why is today the Ides, if it falls on the 13th day of each month?" Well, before the Roman calendar was reformed, months had irregular lengths and it didn't make sense to have regular days to count from. As such, the Ides and Nones of March, July, October, and May fall two days later than they do in other months, coming on the 15th and 7th respectively.

    Was that a huge tangent? Yes! Did it have anything to do with the life or death of Caesar? Not really! Do I care? No! I am far too tired!

      heh I didn't think I was going to learn anything today

      Spoiler

      And I was probably right; it's unlikely I'll retain any of that for long but its super interesting while it is in my brain

      Goodnight

      Dang

      That sounds like smart people stuff but that’s absolutely awesome

    I give the (WAT Spoilers) setting the stage for The Sunlit Man, causing you to be without your Dawnshards and have no defenses for the Sandwich. I steal it with a grappling hook.
  24. NerdyAarakocra
    Yes, but everyone would still be Doomslug the Destroyer.
  25. NerdyAarakocra
    Fortunately, I live in the state of Denial. Ignoring everything that just happened, I steal the sandwich.
