Playground Squares XII: Where the fun never ends. EVER!

[Cuthalion]

I disagree.

[Penguinator]

Dung! While many USS ships are named for states, this one, the USS Monitor, is not. (The refrigerator being the General Electric Monitor-Top.)

The square is filled in with an artistic C.

[Duck999]

Oooh. A lot of those categories look fun!

[Penguinator]

Sorry, I forgot to add, "Lex-Kat, choose a square and category."

[Lex-Kat]

On your left, if you look.... Fawkes!

[Fawkes]

On your left, if you look.... Fawkes!

What? Where?

[Lex-Kat]

Your other left, my dear.

[Penguinator]

Fawkes,

While not always entirely accurate, some detective shows include detectives who can detect lies through the direction a person looks before answering a question. A normal, right-handed person looks down to their left when talking to themselves. In what direction would a "normally-organized" right-handed person look when asked to imagine a tower made of jello?

[Fawkes]

Imagine a tower made of jello?



It'd fall right over! That's the worst thing to build a tower out of it!

Well, me and Zach Braff's eyes went to the top left, so I'm gonna - wait, what's that?



Curse you, Braff!

OKay, so we're down to just me. Assuming I'm a 'normally-organized' person, *cough*, it's gonna be up and to the left. If not, it's all Zach Braff's fault.

[Lex-Kat]

I'm going to disagree, as I think it'd be up and to the right.

[Felandria]

Bunp........

[Legato Endless]

Penguinator is swamped with real life, so we might want to get a new host.

[Penguinator]

Dung! From an outside perspective, a person is looking to the left, but looking up and to "the left" is really that person's right.

...I guess that one's worded kinda vaguely.

And the opposite of up and to the right is down and to the left, the square that Lex-Kat receives.

Hold off for just now, I'll let you know if you should replace me... sometime next week.

[Duck999]

Got to love those categories. I think I know what they are referencing,...
Though I am probably wrong.

[Legato Endless]

On a different note, Cuth and Lex's avvies being both ponies placed side by side makes this whole game feel like an intense one sided rivalry.

[Penguinator]

Cuthalion looks so peaceful, too.

[Elemental]

This is why assassination is paradoxically so easy in Equestria. Everyone is so happy and friendly that they just assume that the person with the knife has a cake they need cutting.

[Cuthalion]

Never tell me the odds, Elemental. Never.

On another note, Penguinator, what's up with the sound effects? Red and Dung both convey "missed it" to me. Could we maybe get green dings?

[Legato Endless]

What makes a ding sound green to you? I think it sounds more like a cheery yellow.

[Penguinator]

I've been using "Dung" instead of "Ding" every time I've run one. It's all of one letter different, and is a vague reference. Also, that is the forum's "Brown."

Instead of "Bzzzt" I use a gray "Crack-a-Thoom!"

It's no fun doing the same thing everyone else does.

[Lex-Kat]

I had Cuth and I switched the other way, but then I saw how cute it'd be to have the peaceful Cuth pony in the other box.

I mean, of course I'm looking for a cake to cut. Why else would I be carrying around this stabbity knife?

[Elemental]

Never tell me the odds, Elemental. Never.

Alright, but it does mean half my useless facts are worthless now.

[Penguinator]

Never tell me the odds, Elemental. Never.

Ooh, I missed this the first time. Can everybody bold in the future? Thanks.

[Elemental]

Sure, we can do that.

[Penguinator]

Elemental,

The book "The Phantom Tollbooth," by Norton Juster, tells the story of a boy, Milo, going on what is literally an impossible quest and succeeding purely because no one told him that the quest was impossible. On his quest, Milo is greeted by several colorful characters, including King Azaz the Unabridged, the Mathemagician, the Humbug, Tock the WatchDog, the Spelling Bee, Dr. Kakofonous and the Awful Dynne. The most colorful character, however, is Chroma the Great, someone who had a job of the utmost importance to the lands of Rhyme and Reason. What is the job of Chroma the Great?

[Elemental]

Hmm... If these runestones are correct, he is in charge of rainbows and other atmospheric optical phenomena.

[Cuthalion]

Nno...

I thought he was in charge of sunsets and sunrises and the like.

[Lentrax]

I always thought he was the guy who wanted to get Orange added to Magic the Gathering over at Wizards of the Coast.

[Duck999]

I always thought he was the guy who wanted to get Orange added to Magic the Gathering over at Wizards of the Coast.

It was actually yellow. Stop getting your colors mixed up. But then he changed his mind. After all, yellow can already be produced by any card that states it adds mana of any color to your mana pool.

[Lentrax]

Yellow? What happened to purple? Have I missed a rally or a pamphlet or something?
