  1. Oh, debate tournament update! I had a debate tournament yesterday, my partner and I took third! We beat our captain and a veteran debater, and we beat another team of veteran debaters. It was a lot of fun, but I'm glad to be done. I'm so tired now.

  2. Update: MY PARTNER AND I WON OUR EVENT AT THE TOURNAMENT! We beat our captain, and a team of veteran debaters, and it feels good. I still don't know how we won though.

  3. I just had the silliest debate of my life. It was supposed to be serious, but they gave an incorrect definition of the basis of our debate. They also disagreed with each other in round. It was hysterical. I had to try so hard not to laugh.

      Aww I wish I'd been there...

      Actually no not really...

      But sorta...

      I knew a [school name] tournament was bound to be silly :P (just kidding we love them)

      It wasn't even that school that did that! It was a different school, I'll tell you later.

  4. Can we ask ourselves why Eddie and Wit are both Ookla the Believer with the same PFP? or is my computer just having a stroke?

      *evil laugh*

      Thaidakar's duel against Feanor was my masterpiece in TLT. I'll forever consider that one of my best pieces of writing. Period. 

      I gotta go reread it and see why I think it worked well...

       

       

      Oh.

      TLT

      Crap.

      Idk if I'll get to continue posting on there anytime soon lol-

      Sorry, Cacophony-

      POV: me waiting for either Nameless or Thaid to post in TLT so I can respond.

      I'm probably gonna go do something to Nameless to end the duel.

  5. I have a signed copy of the entire skyward series and it makes me happy

      AWESOME!

      I have a signed copy of Starsight and I'm getting one of Defiant soon.

  6. Alright fellow Dragonsteel people, I will not be there yet. I will be there at 3ish, so look for the fairly tall (5'10", maybe 5'11") dude wearing a red shirt with yellow "staff" written on the back, or a blue hoodie that says tennis. Might be wearing my stars and stripes crocs, or i'll be wearing my running shoes.

  7. Don't you just love how in the tags of TLT it even says no4thwall?

  8. I just finished Sunlit Man, it was exactly what I needed. Thank you Brandon!

  9. It is so scary when you've forgotten you posted in Chaos's AMA and he quotes you, so your notif shows his PFP. Gave me a heart attack.

  10. this is a test, i repeat, this is a test.

      it doesn't seem like you can ping yourself. does this ping you nameless?

      @nameless*

  11. Happy birthday Chaos the Great and Powerful!

  12. Guys, I have bad news. I...

     

     

     

    am a good person. I know, shocking. But in business leadership just barely, we were writing about how we don't want our lives to go, and I felt physically sickened as I wrote. Still do honestly, not feeling great after that.

  13. Where on Earth did you go? and are you doing your math?

    Spoiler

    i don't really care

     

  14. This is insane. Looking at things, I've discovered these numbers:

    The 17th Shard as a forum has 1.4 million posts. Of those, General Discussion has 332 thousand posts. Of those, TLT has 65 thousand posts. On TLT, @Nameless* has 10 THOUSAND posts. So, one in every 33 posts in General Discussion belongs to Nameless*, and one in every 140 posts in the entire site belongs to him*. NAMELESS, HOW DO YOU POST SO MUCH!?

    Also, about one in every 21 posts in the site is in TLT.

    This has been crazy thoughts with Cacophony.

    *in TLT alone, not even counting the other threads

      Heheh...

      If I hadn't stopped because of everything, I probably would be starting to get closer to Nameless. It would've taken at least another thousand posts to get some of Darkness's arc done.

      *sigh*

      The Bookwyrm

      I don't even have 2,000 content yet.

      Then again that isn't counting my FGaRS posts.

    4. Aeoryi

      Aeoryi

      I have over 2.5 k content. I had 313 when I left in 2020. I rejoined mid June. 

      :(

  15. Well, you've probably seen a lot of these, but now you get another. As the observant may have noticed, I too am cutting down on my time on the Shard. I went on an orchestra tour, took three days away from the Shard, and felt amazing. It was a great time, and while I don't think that's cause the shard is bad per se, there are just better things that I want to fill my life with. So I will be seeing you around, but I won't be as active in things like Insanity Clinic (which I will probably stick around for, but less often) or Sacrifice RP (which I will probably be dropping out of).  I will probably be found in TLT and TLPW most often. I love ya'll, but I just don't have time, and I need to put stuff like the gospel, my schoolwork, and my friendships first. It's been a great time, but especially as I'm preparing for my patriarchal blessing and thinking about what I want to do to prepare for my mission, I need to put the time elsewhere. I wish that I had more time, but this is what it is coming down to. I will be back more eventually (probably) but i need to find the balance first.

    See ya'll around, and some of you at Dragonsteel!

      Brave choice, Cacophony.

      You chose... Wisely.

       

  16. Don't worry guys, I didn't forget.

      Hehe I have and she said thank everyone very much and tell them that I love them all <3

      P.S. that was from earlier, she's not around rn sadly :(

  20. Thaid, you should be a psychic! Ya know your TLT prophecy about Platypus leading? I happen to be leading 3 different teams in risk, and trying to keep the peace.

    1. Thaidakar the Ghostblood

      Thaidakar the Ghostblood

      Heh-

      You'd be surprised how easy it is to predict these kind of things once you get into the rhythm of it. Rhythm of Writing maybe? Hmm... if Brandon ever writes a How To Write book, that's what it should be called.

      ya, with my business leadership class, combined with me listening to several Jocko Willinks podcasts (highly recommend by the way) I've been trying to be more of a leader and take more responsibility, so that probably shows in Platypus, causes he's based on me.

    3. Thaidakar the Ghostblood

      Thaidakar the Ghostblood

      You'd be surprised how much Thaidakar is based off me, vs how much he isn't based off of me.

  21. And he's gone. This is so weird, we won't be interacting with him for two years, assuming all goes according to plan.

    1. Sequence

      Sequence

      I was much too late to see him go, and I know he won't see this for a long while, but I wish him the best of luck.

  22. Hey Nameless, I'm working on the TLT Adaptation. What are Narrationblades made of, I forgot.

    1. NameIess

      NameIess

      I think they're made of Prismite. Here's some blogs from Xino that talk about TLT metaphysics. They'll probably be helpful in making a TLT adaption.

      Immortal Platypus

      thank you, those will certainly be useful

  23. Hey Eddie, look what I just remembered Cin made for me!

      Now no one can forget. They will be seen by all!!

  24. THAID! YOU CAN'T PUT THAT MUCH PRESSURE ON PLATYPUS, IF YOU WERE ALIVE, I'D KILL YOU!!!!!!

    But also, now I'm crying. How dare you?
