Well good dodge because it was going to be in all caps and filled with slurs.
Seriously, though. James Blake is the bomb, yo.

From the discomfort of truth there is only one refuge and that is ignorance. I do not need to be comfortable, and I will not take refuge. I demand to *know*.

Re: Coid's Crowing Conundrum of a Canticle of Crookedly Random Banter #185
yes they do share a heritage, kind of logical since the Dutch owned South Afrika for some time. but since then english and other more indigenous languages have entered a bit, So the differences really are there.
they would, albeit with some difficulty. Some words and bits of grammar have become very different. On the other hand, much has stayed the same though are just pronounced differentlyI've never heard an English-speaker try to speak Dutch, but I assume it would be just as amusing
Though I can imagine the reverse true as well when some Dutch people start to speak English. it's like they invent a whole new language...Warlock Poetry?
Or ways to use me in game?

Re: Coid's Crowing Conundrum of a Canticle of Crookedly Random Banter #185
I do disagree here, for multiple reasons, but mostly because for it to mean that, you would have to be agreeing with me on something I hadn't even said yet... I'm happy to outline and discuss all the reasons for your benefit, but as per your request, I will leave it there.
If I may ask something of you, I'd like to suggest that you try to approach things slightly differently in the future.
My first is a request is that if you feel slighted by anything I have said, stop, and take a moment to rethink what I really meant. It's a good idea to do it with anyone, but I'm specifically mentioning me because I know that I don't go out there intending to insult anyone (and the same is true for most, but not all, other people, but it's those few people that do which ruin it for the rest of us).
And the second is a suggestion. If you still feel concerned by what I've said, why don't you PM me instead? I suggest this because you may feel less defensive or feel less of a need to defend yourself if it's a private conversation between you and me.

Re: Coid's Crowing Conundrum of a Canticle of Crookedly Random Banter #185
Thank you, Coidzor. Actually the Rambling Rose is one of my favourites too, although I have been fixated by Game II since Mr. August brought it up.
You like purple, I see? If I recall your complexion correctly from having seen your pictures, it would be a good colour for you.
You're right, and I suppose also that it should not be so pretty that one would rather keep it than spend it.
Well, I had a look, and I would have to say that these five are exceptionally fine: Winter Floral, Floral Paisley, Sterling Blooms, Au79 and the Cairo.
I notice all three of the people who responded chose a white-on-white tie. I find that style very attractive myself. Hmm, the choice is going to be difficult.Last edited by Kneenibble; 2012-11-20 at 12:16 PM.

Re: Coid's Crowing Conundrum of a Canticle of Crookedly Random Banter #185
I remember a campaign I was playing... I was a Halfling Rogue. The other two were a Dragonborn Fighter & a Dragonborn Warlord. We killed everything except 3 gargoyles that were damaged & turned to stone on a ledge to heal up. We climbed up to pull them down, each of us targeting one.
As we approached, they flew about 15 feet from the ledge. We were, like, 30 feet up. Fluff the DM added after all our rolls were successful: Me and the fighter glance at each other, nod, and leap off the ledge, each onto a gargoyle. As our weight brings the gargoyles down to the ground, we wrestle them down to use as landing cushions, killing them both on impact, both landing upright & ready to continue the fight.
The numbers:
- Athletics check to jump.
- Grapple check (I think it was Athletics vs Con for the fighter & Acrobatics vs Ref for me? I kinda forget. Whatever the 4E rules were.)
- He let us use an acrobatics check to force our opponent downward, resulting in 150% fall damage to them & 50% fall damage to us.
- Acrobatics check to reduce my own fall damage to 0, so I didn't land prone. The fighter took some damage, but his magic boots allowed him to not be prone when he landed.
After all this, the DM decided to name the campaign "Legends of Wrestling 3". The next room involved the Dragonborns fighting in oil while I threw pies (from our Everlasting Provisions) at a thingy making sparks to prevent it from igniting the oil.
That was a fun campaign.Avatar by me. It's Incendius Darkscale, a Good Dragonborn Dragon Sorcerer, Demonskin Adept, Prince of Hell, worshiper of the Platinum Dragon (Bahamut), specializing in Fire and Lightning, wielding a staff in each hand.

Re: Coid's Crowing Conundrum of a Canticle of Crookedly Random Banter #185
Hmm, that's too bad. I hope you'll get past it and on good foots with him again soon.
Hmm, many of them are pretty indeed, although personally, I think I prefer deep colours (especially blue or green) together with minimalistic designs, which isn't quite what that site has to offer... They have many pretty ties, they just aren't for me.
Join the club. I can't retell a story of a minor bruise without having LaLa think I'm trying to kill myself.
Oh, and regarding your maths question earlier, yes, 1111111 * 11111 is indeed 12345554321.
ION:
Went to bed before midnight, woke up at ten. Then I remembered that I had homework for my Single Variable Calculus course that I had to hand it at 13:15. Progress with that one went slower than expected, since I'd forgotten how to calculate the tangent's equation and had to reason myself to the correct calculations. I was finally done at 12:30, but by then I was pretty much gone due to hunger, since I hadn't had any breakfast. Thankfully, despite being a slow eater, I managed to push two Gorbachevs down my stomach ("Gorby"s, or ready-cooked pasties. There are pan-pizzas called "Billy"s too ) and get there in time.
IOON:
Saw something rather unusual over here: A bird of prey flying over the houses. I was studying the neighbourhood from our bathroom window when suddenly all fieldfares left all at ones from our neighbours great maple tree, and a smaller flock of great tits appears out of nowhere and lands in our two junipers, quickly making their way in between the thick branches. I wonder what caused all this commotion when a hawk (at least I think it was a hawk) enters the scene from the left. It seems rather unconcerned about the commotion around it and cruised past with little effort. So cool.Clouddreamer Teddy by me, high above the world, far beyond its matters...

I use braces (also known as "curly brackets") to indicate sarcasm. If there are none present, I probably believe what I am saying; should it turn out to be inaccurate trivia, please tell me rather than trying to play along with an apparent joke I don't know I'm making.

Re: Coid's Crowing Conundrum of a Canticle of Crookedly Random Banter #185
Well, when you know the trick for multiplying two strings of 1s, it's really easy, but if you don't, it's at least tedious (I wouldn't say hard, but I'm very biased toward thinking maths is easy). It's nothing I would ask of the man on the street to do, at least.
The trick (which only works if none of the numbers have more than 9 digits):
Start by counting up from 1 until you reach the length of the shorter number (12345), repeat the last digit until you reach the length of the longer number (1234555) and then count down to 1 again (12345554321). That's the answer.
With numbers longer than 9 digits, you get some weird overflow behaviour that doesn't match this pattern nearly as nicely (1111111111 * 1111111111 = 1234567900987654321).
Now, if you calculated that on your own without knowing the trick, then good job and I think it's reasonable to say that you're definitely better at head-counting than the average. If you figured out the trick yourself, I think you're worth an eulogy as well. If you knew of the trick since earlier and used it to get to the solution, well, that's hardly enough to say anything about your intellect, except possibly that you know how to count to 10.Clouddreamer Teddy by me, high above the world, far beyond its matters...

Re: Coid's Crowing Conundrum of a Canticle of Crookedly Random Banter #185
Praise, basically.
I have at times calculated moderately tricky figures faster in my head than my friends have been able to on the calculator. It doesn't happen every day, but I still consider myself fast enough to prefer to work without one. Keeps my brain up to shape, which always is a good thing.Last edited by Teddy; 2012-11-20 at 06:18 PM.
