Draches, Girlfriend? I'll hold back the comments. Besides, when I was your age I had extracurricular activities, school, papers to write, a girlfriend, videogames to play, people too talk to, drugs to sell, the world to save, a job, jail time to serve, and partake in the taco drive, and I still had time for the board.

I've got to agree with Silentiea that it perfectly all right if the thread drifts into a different subject so long as it is logical. This board is not so active that we need to get so concerned over those things. This doesn't necessary mean that illogical posts should be spawned, but I haven't seen any for awhile.

Tempest, are you saying that off topic posts should be considered the bad type of spam? They normally extend the life of a thread, giving more people a chance to join in. Granted, it isn't the best when they become about skittles and ill spelling, but then it would fall into the category of nonsense post or junk post.

Why?

Post by Medea »

I would say that cheese falls up on saturdays, because it's the cow's day of rest, so they all lay on their backs, and so then when people milk them the cheese goes up! yay! j/k lol. That was totally random, I know. . . haha
The rest is silence. . .

So random that you are punished. No . . . drugs . . . for a week. There, got that over with. Hope that wasn't to hard. I think it was. Medea, I changed my mind, no drugs for a hour. Okay, now I feel better.

Might as well make this post have some real content, whatever that is, and inform you shmucks that I'm gone for the next one to two days. I'll be busy travelling over half the world to return to the states. I think the flight is something like 26 hours. However, you need to add 6 hours on since each airport I stop has a 3 hour delay. Yay delays.

Well, made it back. Setting up my comp was a but of a challenge as the video card was acting up. Rather than fix it, I am mealy writing this post here based on memory of how my settings were before I left. Is this the right place?

Also, the person who was sitting out house (house sits) was a complete pig and slob. The house was a mess and the dog was not cared for. She was really irresponsible. Enough gripping.

As for duty free shopping, the most I picked up was some Toblerones for some friends. I'm not big on those things, just draws the tourists in. Or so I think . . . Still, 1000 pound whisky seems a bit pricey.

Since I brought up alcohol I feel compelled to tell you that the world is determined to misjudge my age. I'm 16 (17 in two days), and being mistaken for 22. Oldest I got was 26. Maybe British Airways hands out free wine and beer to passinger’s indiscriminately of their age.

That is all ensign. Warp 3, engage.

STAR TREEEEEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But why warp 3? These days warp engines go well over 10. Also, I think you might want someone better than ensign at your helm, they are just above crewman.

Picard always said that. Don't knock on Picard. He will take you in a fight anyday.

No offense to picard, but he is human, and no human stands a chance in single combat against an aeuea.

So? That just means you're more likely to die before him.

Probably not since I'm goign to be attempting to make gunpowder this year. Well see how things turn out. And even if I do make it pass that I have plans on becoming a doctor, which really lowers my chances of living (though not as much if I were to become a lawyer).

LOL... ouch Alorith.... *Is in school for pre-law*

Anywho, I dont think it's really "spamming" (I like the word so I'm going to use it) if it's in the general forum, seeing is this is a discussion forum for almost anything and most of the topics are not so serious anyways.

I have to say, however, that this thread is a fine pice of processed meat you have created here guys. It makes me so <i>proud</i>...

Hey, that subject is old news. We were talking about Picard and Draches being 17. And I think there is some limits on spam, such as the tastless spam that some people create.

Any way, welcome back fat-one. Go RP already.

I have been gone for a month and you are only 40 ahead of me? That is pathetic!

And I'll RP when I feel like it... lol.

And I agree with you, some people just have no talent in spamming. reading bad spam is like listening to someone sing off tune to the radio.

Or maybe nails on a chalkboad....

It's not even 40... it's like 32. So there....

And besides, I dont need to care. I do it with pure talent, and without even trying. Plus I''m sure if you minused off all of your posts in the story thread I be way ahead of you. Maybe those don't count!!

Or maybe you should also post in there. Come on you know you want to. Everyone is doing it. You won't be cool unless you give in to peer pressure.

Yay for peer pressure! And besides, this thread is about the general death of RPG's, and since it inclludes RPG, it must die. Or at least the RPG discussion must.

Why should this thread have to die? It seems like a perfectly happy thread just being. It doesn't want to die, it hasn't achieved its life goals yet. You murderer.
