ABR Discussion Thread XXIX: Where we talk about bears....

[Silverraptor]

DLB isn't leaving. He's just not participating in CoN anymore.

Given that CoN seems to be mostly dead, I'm not seeing a shift.

It's only dead because it needs people like me and Emerald to start it up again. That and because FFF:r has overshadowed it.

Bah, we had almost a week of inactivity. You people don't take opportunities when they come.

I'm actually waiting for X2 to respond to me. Oh where, oh where can he be?

We're actually resurrecting it, as you should have seen. I'm doin' fancy-like res'rechun an' stuff.
CA: Are you in CoN or not?
HOW MANY PEOPLE IGNORE MY POSTS, ANYWAYS?!

5.000.000.000+ actually, but a lot of them ignore this website altogether so don't take it too bad
I actually answered if you haven't noticed

does being utterly unaware of something's existence count as ignoring it?

Not normally, but a lot of people ignore such thing they call "nerdy" or "Geeky" which among others are sites with gaming webcomics such as Giantitp and thus the also ignore the posts on it's forums.

[Khaeta]

HOW MANY PEOPLE IGNORE MY POSTS, ANYWAYS?!

OVER NINE THOUSAND!!!

-3, since me, Kev, and TS apparently don't ignore you

EDIT: And I'm still in if you didn't get it, but I'm waiting for -skimmer- who's apparently working on something.

[CrimsonAngel]

I'm in CoN. It's my favorite plot.

[EmeraldPhoenix]

I don't want CoN to die! I've only just (hypothetically*) joined it!

*Okay, seriously. Somebody give me a clear, actual answer, please. Am I, or am I not, part of CoN. The whole "Ignoring me" thing is getting old.

[CrimsonAngel]

Who said that?

[EmeraldPhoenix]

Who said that?

It's from the forums for MS Paint Adventures, in case you were wondering.

[Ninja Chocobo]

Am I, or am I not, part of CoN. The whole "Ignoring me" thing is getting old.

And here I thought you'd been told "yes" at least twice.

[Emperor Ing]

Vegeta! What does the scouter say about the number of ABR plots?

[Falgorn]

Vegeta! What does the scouter say about the number of ABR plots?

It's Over 9000!!!
*crushes scouter*

WHAT NINE THOUSAND?!? There's no way that can be right, can it?!

[EmeraldPhoenix]

WHAT NINE THOUSAND?!? There's no way that can be right, can it?!

I was under the impression that there were at least a million.

And there ARE people willing to do CoN, so it's not dead yet.

Don't hold a funeral 'till you see the body, my grandpa always said. (Well, before he mysteriously dissappeared. According to his will, we have to consider him alive until proven dead. The IRS has racked up a large amount of debt under his name by now, so I hope for his sake he IS dead.)

[Keris]

Vegeta! What does the scouter say about the number of ABR plots?

Indeed, having three plots running simultaneously would be completely unprecedented and nonsensical.

Well, 1,000,000 is technically over 9000.
You know.

How would he know? Do he even use the internet at all?

[V'icternus]

No. Ne he doesn't.

That's one of the stupidest things I've ever seen... The video wasn't much better

[CrimsonAngel]

I thought the video was funny.

And you have all right to think that, I just don't.

THIS:

I would like to join the Chronicles of Novaris plot.

Just because nobody else seems to be doing anything with it.

Character Idea:

Spoiler

Show

Cassandra "Smudge" Vainly
EmeraldPhoenix


Race: Human
Age: 16
Sex: Female
Faction: None.
Magical powers: None
Personality: Snappy, quick to accuse, generally pessemistic
Gear: She hides a knife, but generally just uses her fists.
Brief Bio: She got into fights at school, and was infamous for getting away with it by smudging out the name on her school records, so nobody knew who she was. She ran away from home because her parents were trying to send her to military school. Has a deep sense of self-preservement, and mistrusts anything and everyone except herself.

This is my character.

[Mina Kobold]

THIS:

This is my character.

Oh that one, well the setting don't really fit neither military schools, school records nor any other modern education norm like "not hitting the students" in my opinion. It's a high fantasy early middle ages kind of setting after all.

The "spoilt brat who thinks he/she know best and have a chance of surviving with that attitude" character just don't see realistic in the setting to me.

Unless the person in question is politically powerful/royalty of course.

Sorry

[Khaeta]

Why isn't there a faction with a military school? There should be!

Everyone knows there's ALWAYS some giant empire trying to control the multiverse! ALWAYS!

This.

Also, if there are books in this world, you can NOT tell me that nobody has ever thought of keeping any kind of records. They've already got paper and a way to write! It's only a matter of time!

As to the school part...maybe she instead stayed away from the law by doing it with the records of her existance? If there aren't any schools, fine, but there are still plenty of people who would want to get you in trouble it you're hurting people.

I mean, not in the "I'm a bully" way, but if they genuinely deserve it... I mean, come ON, haven't you ever had the urge to punch someone in the face? The only difference is that she follows through with it.

Military schools aren't needed for an army and the training was usually obligatory in similar time periods.
Why would they use any energy on it? Just two hundred years ago the teacher could punish you if he didn't like you, records are only needed if he/she couldn't and thus had to write everything down to prove you need it.
Being that organised for the betterment of society and yourself (somehow that's the reason for school records, strange) would be a waste of time pre-socialism.

Schools or apprenticeship would make sense though, more specialised than modern day equivalents but certainly possible. So no need to change that part.

What if all the students and worker people knew she did it but she blamed others or was more trusted by the teachers? It would cause the same effect.
