ABR Disscusion thread XII: Not to be confused with important stuff

[The Gremlin]

Are we dead? This is getting a little creepy....

We can't die! Not when we're so close to the next thread!
Still, it is rather creepy. Last thread, we were posting TONS. Every time I got back on, there'd be like 5 new pages. What happened?
Also, Tiffany? The link to the Discussion thread isn't updated.

[Mad Mask]

I suppose everyone exhausted their random banter supplies.

[Lyinginbedmon]

Well I'm kinda busy at the moment as it is.

Although as regards your latest comic MM, Alphantica joins up? Weren't they the ones advocating Locate City bombing Tajira?

More to the point, are you forgetting Alphantica's government is where a duplicate of Lying is going to discuss the fact that the Citadel is parked there?

Oops, forgot about that. I'll remove the guinoid's speech bubble and deal with it in the next comic.

Fixed. The discussion thread is moving unusually slow today.

Edit- Quick! Somebody do something stupid so people can talk about it!

Or the city bomb might be a reason to join, so they can divert suspicion, blame it on terrorits or something.

[Mad Mask]

Question: do the nations know about Ins being Igon's doppelgänger ? Because the ambassadors have addressed him as "Minoblendy", and I don't know if I should change that.

BOINGO BOINGO WHOOPSY KNICKERS. Discuss.


Tangent; what kinds of school classes are people taking?

AP's, far too many of them (World History, Literature, Psych, Calculus)... yeah...

Also: Mad Mask, this works very well with what I was imagining happened with Schitzotech during the Age of Dragons. The initial invasion was easily repulsed, and the moon elves realized that a millitary invasion of Schitzotech would be a Pyrrhic victory at best, with the strong nationalism they would have constant rebellions. So instead they sen't in an infiltration team of Beguilers who were able to slip into the Schitzotech government and eventually take control of the ruling council. Because of that same nationalism, people wouldn't doubt the orders of the ruling council, so this effort was successful until after the age of dragons ended and some Schitzian wizards (they do exist, just not many of them before the age of dragons) discovered the beguilers and freed the ruling council.

Ergo, Schitzotech isn't afraid of another moon elf empire because they have taken precautions against falling for the same trick twice, and because the last one didn't defeat them militarily (though that was mainly because the invasion force was led by an idiot who was caught off guard), they don't think this one will either. This dosn't mean that the old one couldn't have taken them down, it just found a better way to conquer them, or that the new one dosn't threaten them, it just means that they think it poses no threat.

I accidentally put my camera in the dish washer this morning to try and get it to work. Does that count?

[Fawkes]

I'm taking mostly core classes that are for some reason required of me this semester.
British Literature, Logic, Ideas in Math (which I dropped last week), as well as a couple film classes.

[memnarch]

AP's, far too many of them (World History, Literature, Psych, Calculus)... yeah...

Psych, Physics, Calc BC, and American Gov are the AP I've got in decreasing order of favorites. Oh, and liturature strategies and writing. Neither of which I enjoy that much.


Ideas in Math? What's that?

[Fawkes]

Ideas in Math? What's that?

It's a math course that almost all BA students have to take. Pretty stupid class.

[DoomITP]

whats this class do?

[Fawkes]

We learn stupid ways math is 'relevant'* to 'everyday life.'*

*lies

[memnarch]

Because of course Trigonometry is going to be used everyday of your life isn't it?

[DoomITP]

not to mention advanced statistics if your on the couch lol...some guy uses trig or somthing to figure out how long his bag of ruffles lasts .

[T-O-E]

Countless hours learning needless math when you could be doing something useful.
Just have basic mathematics classes and a calculator, much simpler.

[Green-Shirt Q]

Bah! Stupid numbers. What have numbers ever done for us!

[Mad Mask]

Without maths, you would not be typing on this computer, let alone post off-topics posts in this thread. Mathematics also helped the launch of satellites and spacecraft (with your average calculator, your would have killed the astronauts and destroyed the rocket). Mathematics helped to create the world as we know it.

Without math I'd have 1/2 of my life back

Okay. But other then that, what have numbers ever done for us?

[Fawkes]

We had to learn four possible ways to divide up seats in the House of Representatives among the states. Six ways to divide up a cake between a group of people. Five different variations of binary codes not actually in use by anyone. Stuff like that.

And you'll be living like in the -1 000 000. Fun times. [/arsepulled number]

Yeah... when you start using math like that, it quickly turns useless.


Not to say that it's useless all the time mind you.

Hmm, I'm wondering whether the Monty Python reference here was intentional or not.

Happy to oblige.
