What am I? I don't know, because I have to see what's under my pfp. So I'll have to post this first. Okay, I'm a bloodsealer. That's the evil cultist guy from TES right?

The Battle for the Sandwich
Through The Living Ash replied to AltonicKeys's topic in Forum Games & Random Stuff
Suddenly the forestbed collapses and you fall into a pit. Wild bananas leap out of the brush, surrounding you and poking down at you menacingly with wooden spears. It appears they were hunting you instead.- 13683 replies

Khado looked up, squinting against the sunlight. He could have sworn he had seen... never mind. He was just jumping at shadows. Khado sighed. He had been tense lately. But then, they all had, what with the war against the other Cordians escalating. More had died in these recent years than had over the past hundred. He thought back to the latest report. Khado had known some of them, if not very well. It was not too long ago when Aqqor had enlisted. The fellow wasn't the brightest, but he had always been eager to help. Khado glanced down at what he had been writing. Or was supposed to have been writing. Sighing again, he picked up the quill and continued.

He checks again to see the direction of the center. The party wasn't exactly what Erdikan expected, although he assumed that it had not been going for long. He noted with curiosity that one of the guests had already been marked, and took a seat on the sofa.- 111828 replies

Intrigued, Taeidin starts to the right. This just came in. Erdikan started as the voice rang in his mind. He had not been expecting a communication today, especially since the traitor seemed to be getting further and further out of their reach. He waved to the others to carry on, taking a moment to go over the message. A party, already? he thought back. Erdikan glanced down at his watch. No, there was still a while until 500 pages. Why? Presumably because of the stalling activity, came the reply. You know how this has been frustrating us. It appears that the Authors have finally decided to try to fix it. Erdikan mulled this over for a moment. Yes, that made sense. He knew most of the other contingents had been struggling with this, although his own was failing for precisely the opposite reason. And what do you want me to do with this information? Erdikan asked back. I want you to go. Surprise. It must have showed, for those nearest him looked at him inquisitively. He shot them a glare, and they hurriedly looked away. They knew better than to question him. Are you sure? I do not think gaining Authorship is wise. Yes. Things happen. Plans change. The time for hiding will soon be over. I am going to push for us to meet our goals - and that will require most to gain Authorship at some point. Two will be held in reserve, just in case. Besides, he heard her laugh, a light, jovial sound, by having this conversation, you have probably gained it already. He took that in stride. Nothing he could do about it now. But, what of my current task? he protested, already knowing the answer. Are you close? Erdikan sighed. He had been so very close, a while ago. How he had let the opportunity slip through his fingers still puzzled him. But now... Not at all. Then you know what you are to do. The communication ended. "Stop," he called out, and the others gathered around him. Erdikan pulled back the hood of his cloak, and several of them averted their gaze. He knew how they saw him, with his head streaked with gray lines and his eyes, an inverse black orb with a white pupil shining out from the center. "I am leaving," he announced. "You are to continue as you do now." Erdikan held out a hand to the side, and in it formed two spheres, pulsing a shadowy red. "And as I can no longer guide you, I will leave you with two Watchers. I expect they will be put to good use." The Watchers shot away from him, screaming, an unearthly noise. Smiling, Erdikan observed as those around him gave chase, following after the Watchers. He pulled back up the cowl of his hood and strode a distance away. He did not necessarily like the change, but he trusted her assessment that it was necessary. And so, he would adapt. "Great Elephant and Thread, take me to safety, take me to solace. I promise no violence and I promise civility, grant me entrance to Sequence's world." - Taeidin paused as he noticed Sequence's message, frowning. By his estimations, only 200 or so pages should have passed since the last party. Maybe the Authors had been far less productive than he thought. However, he could not go; his work was here currently. Taeidin continued walking.- 111828 replies

I do not believe so, as the two clauses could not exist on their own due to the existence of the first dependent clause.- 13683 replies

Taeidin, taking the cue, again attempts to discern in which direction he should travel to reach the center. Theoretically, he should be able to know the path he should take to get there, however for consistency purposes, it may instead only serve as a compass.- 111828 replies

Nuh uh The "and" serves as a linkage between actions that are occurring at the same time as a third, not as a coordinating conjunction. However, I believe you are correct that a comma should have gone after the word "this." I am deeply mortified. I have and do agree, but find this manner of speech far funnier.- 13683 replies

I switch the topic of my lecture to that of scolding you on how you should actually know what you are talking about before correcting others, as my sentence was not a run-on, a run-on being a set of clauses that should be separated by a full stop or comma, and I was certain to ensure that I did not omit necessary punctuation in my sentence, and so the sentence is not considered to be a run-on; although, if you should find that I did in fact include an improper linkage of clauses, I would be glad to know.- 13683 replies

The Battle for the Sandwich
Through The Living Ash replied to AltonicKeys's topic in Forum Games & Random Stuff
I begin lecturing you on the impropriety of using "it" and "that" within the given context, arguing that a reader would not be able to discern the proper meaning of what the two words are referring to, and furthermore, when referring to a word as the word itself and not as the meaning behind the word, it is most proper to place quotations around the word, although in the case of spelling, the quotations could instead be replaced by the word "as" going in front of the original word, and hence your full sentence should be "I don't read your post and spell the word amer'cansi," noting that the reason I italicised "amer'cansi" was in order to prevent an apostrophe from falling within a set of single quotation marks, and so would be correct within the context of my sentence but would need to be altered for yours. While I am lecturing Coder, I create a clone of myself to lecture you on how, when referring to a pronoun by its name immediately after the pronoun, it is correct to place a comma between the two words as an indication of the name naming the pronoun thusly, and hence your post should have instead said "I LOVE YOU, @Ashkaloda! THANK YOU, FELLOW WARRIOR OF THE DEFENDERS OF GRAMMAR!!!!"- 13683 replies

I then lecture you about how you misspelled "Americans" as "American's", as "American's" would be the possessive form of "American" while "Americans" is the plural form of "American," "American" being the demonym for someone from America, and so your apostrophe should have been omitted, and furthermore, you incorrectly used the pronoun "they" to refer to the British, "British" being the demonym for people from Britain, but the subject of the phrase was Britain and not a British person, persons, or people, and so you should have instead used "it", the proper and accepted pronoun for nations, although in older English literature "she" is also accepted, and furthermore, your sentence contained a run-on, as "America copied them" is an independent clause and "I enlighten you and all the football teams in Britain by telling you that Britain actually started calling football 'soccer' first" is too an independent clause, while in this case "and then" serves as a coordinating conjunction part of speech, giving your text the "i, cc i" sentence structure and hence there should be a comma betwixt the "them" and the "and", and furthermore, you used "it" many times throughout the sentence, "it" being an imprecise word of little clarity, and to improve your diction you ought to replace "it" with a different noun-phrase, and thus the fully corrected sentence that you should have used would be "I enlighten you and all the football teams in Britain by telling you that Britain actually started calling football 'soccer' first, and then America copied the term, and then Britain stopped naming the sport thusly, so Britain is actually at fault for causing Americans to call the sport soccer and not football," and whilst I drone on and on about this you fall asleep and I take the sandwich from you as I continue to lecture you.- 13683 replies
