If you want, I could draw up a contract...

If you want, I could draw up a contract...

You mean pentagrams, runestones, blood oaths and a demon witness isn't enough?

[V'icternus]

Fine, do it your way. But don't come crying to me when your soul is in hell.

[Darklord Bright]

Initiation occurs through Silke. You must pass her hazing to be allowed to join my ranks. This is to avoid recruiting someone who isn't man enough to brave it!

[V'icternus]

Then again, maybe it wont end up in hell after all. Maybe it'll end up pink.

[Mina Kobold]

Given my beliefs I'd be happy to end up in hell.

I have no idea what you just said, my dictionary states hazing as harassing but I'm really not sure I understood it either, care to explain what the heck you are saying?

[V'icternus]

Hazing like, say, when you're the new guy at your school/workplace/D&D group, so everyone harrasses you.

Tried the first one but never the later.

But if that's all then I have nothing to fear, Given how school's been.

[Khaeta]

Hazing is essentially forcing newbies to some sort of group to perform an initiation task or do something that might make them feel uncomfortable in order to properly be part of the group.
ex:
Having to spend the night in a haunted house to join a fraternity
Being forced to stay up late drinking so you can be "one of the guys"
etc.

Well I won't drink.

Why ew? Silke hasn't even kissed Bright yet even though she appear to really like him, as evidenced when she noted the words "how romantic", a random newbie would be hazed but squicked?

[Khaeta]

Well I won't drink.

Just a random example I made up, certainly not the rule.

Not necessarily that, just the implication there...

[Squark]

I'm baaaaaaack!

*Cue mob with torch and pitchforks*



I'm GOOING!!!


Question: Is FI considered to have started up yet?

Hey you're back!... Where'd you go?

Oh sorry about them I kinda blamed you for the whole Cincinnati thing


Not-really-an-answer: I have no idea... I'm not even sure what we're going to do if when it happens.

[Green-Shirt Q]

I'm pretty sure FI has in fact started. I think we're all just waiting for Mad Mask, King of FI oh hear his name and tremble ugh ugh, makes the comic that explains what the hells going on. Because we certainly can't do that.

[Mad Mask]

Hey, I'm not the king of FI! I'm just the inventor of the setting and it's "enforcer".

*goes off to make comic*

@Squark: While FI has not yet started, Fat Fish Fury was just finished recently. I just have to make the introductory comics for Future Imperfect now.

[Grim ranger]

Oh, if it would only start... I have been looking forward to start kicking ass and taking names...and stuff. I wanna shoot things already!

[Mad Mask]

You could do a follow up on CrimsonAngel's FI comic... it's not like you need to be introduced to the setting.

Oh, I am that famous now? I did not realize that

[kpenguin]

Wow... Xarty doesn't take sarcasm very well.

[X2]

I love it... everything I do on the IRC is so important people feel the need to gossip about it over the forums...

[CrimsonAngel]

Realy... all two times? You know it's true.

[Mina Kobold]

I love it... everything I do on the IRC is so important people feel the need to gossip about it over the forums...

It's more like that we've got nothing else to talk about, you should be happy that you are all we talk about

Hey, whenever I make fun of you, you get snippish and take it personally. Nobody else does.

I take everything seriously according to you, plural you not just you Gremlin, and I'm not listed as "taking jokes personally"? Good to know

I assumed that because you speak English as a second language, you had trouble discerning sarcasm and such. When someone tells you they were joking, you aren't still offended.

[kpenguin]

You know what? Xarty's right. Let's gossip about... Tiff.

So, when's that movie night happening, huh?

[Mina Kobold]

I assumed that because you speak English as a second language, you had trouble discerning sarcasm and such. When someone tells you they were joking, you aren't still offended.

I would blame the lack of tone and facial expressions and the culture difference actually, one time I over-reacted when someone joked about being affected by drugs, that's not considered very funny over here for some reason... A lot of stuff isn't.

But maybe I'm just making up excuses

EDIT:

@Pen: When it happens [/completely-useless-information]

[Tiffanie Lirle]

Tell you what, since you keep nagging me about it. Figure out a suitable time yourself and that'll be when.

Edit - And the time has been chosen.

So much for that idea.

Too bad, I was looking forward to it.

Though it does prove your point so I fail to see why he did it.
