Jude's Judgmental Jugular Jab and Jibber Jabbery Random Banter #115
Welcome To Random Banter
This is a place for relaxed chatter and discussion of things that we don't consider to be worthy of it's own thread.
For the new people, don't be afraid to hop in, we won't bite. Well, we usually won't.
Just remember, we're silly, weird, unusual, and/or scientifically inclined people who will welcome anyone who wants to have a friendly chatter.
Rules
Spoiler
Show
1. Spam. For the purposes of RB, one word posts are generally considered spam. Likewise, posts that are nothing but *actions like this* are also be considered spam. Remember that the quality of the post's content is much better than the speed of your response.
2. This isn't the Play by Post or Town forum, nor is it the Silly Message Board Games or Structured Games forum. Please avoid continuous roleplay or mock battles and fights such as the "competition for control of the universe".
3. If it's already a thread, don't bring it to RB. RB has such a huge range of subject matter even restricted to the little snippets that probably don't warrant their own thread, it doesn't need legitimate thread topics cluttering it up as well. The exception to this is to bring something that is off-topic from one thread, but on-topic for RB and the subject doesn't warrant a thread of its own.
4. Don't advertise other threads in RB. Just because these new threads move at speeds more appropriate to a message board than an IM session doesn't mean you need to come over to RB and brow beat people into posting in your latest brainchild.
5. Please don't post single line posts alerting us to your current status -- as in "I'm back." This is Random Banter, not "How to stalk Random GitP forum members."
6. Don't poke, kick or bump the thread. It will move at whatever pace it wants to. Also, please refrain from Captain Obvious comments akin to "My, the thread is fast today."
7. Random Banter can only be as good, or as entertaining, as you make it. Demands to be entertained will fall on deaf ears unless you can add something more meaningful to the conversation.
8. As this is a public forum, where the current topic is nicely recorded for you, and not a conversation where you could have missed the beginning, please refrain from asking something to the effect of "What's the topic?". Please take the time to read up a bit first.
9. Thread Creator must include the words "Random" and "Banter" as well as the thread #. Try to be concise as well.
10. Every post should contain two visible, legible complete sentences, Subject and Predicate. C'mon, make your old English teachers proud.
11. Remember, Random Banter is not your IM client. If you want to have a back and forth discussion with just one person, look in their contact information for IM details.
12. Whenever a new thread is created, all "first post", "first page", and all posts of that nature will be deleted by the administrators. Please avoid doing this, as it is frustrating for them to deal with one-lined posts like this.
13. Double-posting is not your friend. We have edit buttons for a reason.
And here are the previous incarnations of this thread.
Previous Threads:
As stated above, this thread is for random discussion, not random chit chat. That is to say, this is a forum, not your IM client. People have set up an unofficial IRC chat thingy for that sort of thing. Not only will you not annoy the people here, you will also help increase the popularity of the IRC chat.

Re: Gezina's Generally Grandiose Gamut of Randomly Generated Banter #113(+2)
What's the (+2) for...I feel like I'm missing something.
EDIT: Nevermind...it's too late for me to be doing math.
Re: Gezina's Generally Grandiose Gamut of Randomly Generated Banter #113(+2)
Darnit! I missed my chance again!!!
I think the +2 is just to be unusual. How shocking. :smallbiggrin:
Re: Gezina's Generally Grandiose Gamut of Randomly Generated Banter #113(+2)
I have little to no idea what is going on, but blithely participate anyway.
As is my custom.
Re: Gezina's Generally Grandiose Gamut of Randomly Generated Banter #113(+2)
That's another thread that started just like... a few days ago. And here comes this new one. You people are terrifying. :smalleek:

Well, this one's actually a little early, but it's also not that bad. I remember when these threads were flying through in under a day.
Re: Gezina's Generally Grandiose Gamut of Randomly Generated Banter #113(+2)
Under a day?!
..... you are joking, right? Or just remembering incorrectly. Right? Right?
.... 50 pages under a day? :smalleek:
Re: Gezina's Generally Grandiose Gamut of Randomly Generated Banter #113(+2)
Nope, 18 hours. IIRC, it was Gez's first Random Banter. Mine was the first one to have rules in it as an effort to slow them down.
Re: Gezina's Generally Grandiose Gamut of Randomly Generated Banter #113(+2)
That is truly terrifying. I have no idea how you people keep up with it. I can't... at least nor any further than the first few pages.
And it looks very intimidating later, too.
Re: Gezina's Generally Grandiose Gamut of Randomly Generated Banter #113(+2)
We don't keep up. You just look at what's happening on the last page or two. You'd have to be insane to read through all of it :smalltongue:

You're one of us. And less than a day did happen. Over 1 post per minute, and it was probably more like 15 seconds. So, are we here, or Thufir's banter?
I don't know that I like people getting creative with the counting. Ah well.
Re: The Throne of Thufir's Thoroughly Theoretical and Therapeutic Random Banter #115
I pronounce this Thufir's banter thread! Let us commence the skittle ritual and the catmuffin summoning. Are there echidnas in New Zealand? Reports seem to conflict, what does the playground know about it?
Re: The Throne of Thufir's Thoroughly Theoretical and Therapeutic Random Banter #115
*BOOGIES*
I figured I'd give the smaller of the two threads some good luck boogie.
Re: The Throne of Thufir's Thoroughly Theoretical and Therapeutic Random Banter #115
I'm planting my flag firmly under Thufir's RB thread.
Since y'know... I can?
Anyway.
Hrm, a Wolf, Enchida(or whatever!), and a Cobra slash fiction. The trick would be to do it in a way that wont get me red carded simply for mentioning it. :smalltongue:
Re: Gezina's Generally Grandiose Gamut of Randomly Generated Banter #113(+2)
Ahh! The thread has been merged. It's too late to support Thufir! I'm so sorry.
@^I feel like I should mention the idea of a fic where people are trying to eat me and Wolfbane being turned into a vampire.
Re: Gezina's Generally Grandiose Gamut of Randomly Generated Banter #113(+2)
...looks like they were merged. Makes it easier to figure out, I suppose.
*raises eyebrow at Mala, intrigued*
Re: Jude's Judgmental Jugular Jab and Jibber Jabbery Random Banter #115
I had something witty to say for one of the threads(I won't say which), but I have to say that I like this new one's title better.
@Ms. Malbolge: This is going to be interesting.

Jude?
...
...*runs from the eternal Beatles soundtrack of the Nine Hells*... >.<
Re: Jude's Judgmental Jugular Jab and Jibber Jabbery Random Banter #115
Name change?:smallconfused:
Also, why am I disturbed to find that webcomic artists have accounts here?
@Bluewind:You scare me a little too. But in a good way.

Yep, both of them were being petty about it, so neither got it. About as 'fair' as Thurfir could have hoped for :smalltongue:
Re: Jude's Judgmental Jugular Jab and Jibber Jabbery Random Banter #115
:jams out to the Beatles soundtrack for the Nine hells.:
I like the new title, no one who wanted it got it in the end. How poetic.
Not sure if I'll actually write that slash fiction.
I still have to write the one where Reinholdt tries to convince Rabbit to help him create Cabbits ( FOR SCIENCE! ).
Hope no one steals that idea now that I posted it! :smalltongue:

Really? How come?
Re: Jude's Judgmental Jugular Jab and Jibber Jabbery Random Banter #115
Sheriff of Moddingham: We like to promote equality of all posters and avoid the creation of an "in-group". That's part of the reason we don't allow discussions of post counts or "first post/first page" shout-outs. There's no magic power or special status that comes with those things. If who starts RB has become some kind of status symbol that people fight over, then we may have to find a way to undo that.
I'm not sure what that'd be but I suspect it would be unpopular. Hopefully, a standard means of determining a thread starter can be created and adhered to - and just as importantly, I hope that manner can be egalitarian.
Re: Jude's Judgmental Jugular Jab and Jibber Jabbery Random Banter #115
And here was me wondering who the mysterious "Jude" was.
Now my inquisitiveness is satisfied. :smallsmile:
Re: Jude's Judgmental Jugular Jab and Jibber Jabbery Random Banter #115
Roland St. Jude has a sexy avatar. I guess being a Mod has some perks.
Also, I now know who the Jude in the title is.
I also can't believe I didn't realize it before. :smalleek:
Re: Jude's Judgmental Jugular Jab and Jibber Jabbery Random Banter #115
So, as far as making "dibs" rules...
My proposal (as stated before) is to be called on page 49. I'd like to add to that that you must wait 10 threads before claiming the next one. If it gets to page 50 with no claimers, it is the duty of the person who hit page 50 to start a new thread.
Any other ideas/modifications?
Re: Jude's Judgmental Jugular Jab and Jibber Jabbery Random Banter #115
Heh, I had to think about it too. I think Roland before I think Jude.
Recaiden, what webcomic artists? Besides the obvious of course?
