Extended Signatures
Where's a thread for them? I want to actually make an extended signature for myself.
If none exist... would it be considered thread necromancy to start one up?
Edit: Well, seeing that no one has, the next post will BE my extended signature.Last edited by TechnOkami; 2012-06-27 at 07:00 PM.

I started my first campaign outside of an abandoned mine, just as soon as a meteor storm from the moon hits.

Re: Extended Signatures
Using my amazing talents which aren't amazing at all:
I think this is the thread you were thinking of:
Long Signatures Thread.
However, posting on it would probably violate the Law of Thread Necromancy, so I'd speak to a Moderator prior to using it.Mauve Shirt, Savannah, Gnomish Wanderer, Cuthalion and Smuchmuch get cookies for making me avatars. (::)

Re: Extended Signatures
Posting a new thread is never thread necromancy, and is in fact the preferred action if you want to discuss a topic from a thread that is past its sell-by date.

Re: Extended Signatures
The old signitures quotes (most just me messing around)
Spoiler
mine
I was once told that I'm witty and imaginative... I think whoever said that was pretty witty and imaginative to dupe me in such a manner
Never ever believe me, I was dubbed a 'mind messer' for twisting thought within minds until they gave way under the emerging pressure of insanity
I've also been told that I'm too crazy to be insane... I think they may be right...
The skies may not be bathed in flame, the rivers may not flow rich with blood, but life with all it's fascinating intricacies makes it one of the best games, no?
Hopes sparkle across the lands as a sea of gemstones... Imagine all that could be bought at the cost of all those mere rocks![/CENTER]
Were dreams to bloom as flowers, and flowers coat the world, than beware their thorns for they may rend you, for dreams come in all colors.
For a while now people have said:
"Drack, tell me if you ever GM a game again so I can be in it."
To which I would reply:
"Too many people say this, I no remember you name, by by."
Now I have power of list! (in extended sig, PM intrest)
(still debating if I use list though. )
"Of all the colors in the sky from the blood bathed sunset to the milky innocent white of clouds, it is said that the sky is a reflection of all that lie beneath it. Why is it then that the sky is calm and blue, and the world that lies beneath an endless activity with the spontaneity of wildfire?"
from literature
"Monsters are said to be the most terrifying of things, so they must not be the nightmares we fantasize of, but rather our secrets that we keep from ourselves."
"If people are creatures of habit, and their behavior an intricate pattern, then madness might be defined as a pattern so complex or different from your own that you fail to comprehend it."
"I've been told I'm honest beyond a fault.
The fault is then not with the honesty, but rather with the blind assumption that everyone in this world will lie when you ask.
... Did I just prove their point?
They say wisdom is often hidden within insanity. More likely is that insanity hides within wisdom allowing the insane to pass before us unchecked.
"Man has made horrors beyond imagining, had wrecked havoc and destruction that you could not even comprehend, yet when you look about you, the product of all these terrors grants you peace ease and health in your everyday life spreading new joys across the globe. Isn't that the most evil thing man could ever do? Grant you great benefit and wellness that you enjoy, all stemming from that which you most detest?"
"Child oh so tender, child so sweet, and yet oh so treacherous, for the love child of any idea or notion may lie infinity far from the ideals of their conception, often turning to oppose those notions which had given them breath."
"At times I feel as a child, reaching out to grasp the prismatic bubbles of knowledge that surround me, but for every one that pops open in my hand, I come to see the emerging clouds of endless bubbles still never glimpsed about me."
Why is it that some of us hold ourselves to such higher standards then others? It is because there are hundreds of years of works to compare ourselves to and that we know we can achieve as much for so too did the great minds of yesteryear, so long as we devote the entirety of ourselves to it, that is to say, in exchange for but your soul?__________________________________________________ ________________________________________
What is it to be old? Is it to have a wrinkled brow, to have learned better or how to strategize? Is it the heavy pain that sits in your heart, building and building? Is it the memories of the years that have passed? Is it the slow ache in your bones that cautions you to slow, or is it to have lived through enough that it is as if you've seen the present in the past, slowly slipping away from you?
Were everyone to join in friendship and hold hands encircling the whole of the world then we would redefine "enemy" that still we might have one, for it is not friendship that we seek, but something better then normal, something reaching beyond the means of average and into extraordinary. How can that exist without an inverse, how can something that always is prove to be so empowering?
It is said that brevity is the soul of wit, but then wit is for banter, not explanation nor popper in depth conveyance of ideas and philosophies, and hefty as a such dialog may be it has a role and fills it well.
Because if blood and screams in splatter horror had been at least a little more realistic, he wouldn't have become a homicidal maniac.~ Urobuchi Gen
There was never anything so gallant, so spruce, so brilliant, and so well disposed as the two armies. Trumpets, fifes, hautboys, drums, and cannon made music such as Hell itself had never heard. The cannons first of all laid flat about six thousand men on each side; the muskets swept away from this best of worlds nine or ten thousand ruffians who infested its surface. The bayonet was also a sufficient reason for the death of several thousands. The whole might amount to thirty thousand souls. Candide, who trembled like a philosopher, hid himself as well as he could during this heroic butchery. ~Voltaire
Fun quotes and exaggerations

"Miracle that I can use Wish forever without Any Penalty to me, Or any Backlash." ~shadowfirelance (Shady)
"Anywho A good old flesh-room just isn't the same when it's made by magic. You have to tan the human hides yourself, and work it together with a twisted offshoot of love in every stitch. You need to hang the entestins with care in hopes that they could inspire a festive mood in even that good old saint. when he rides his malnourished-slave-dwarn slay up to your door where in his jolly voice he booms "Oh Ho HO Ho! What a jolly fine house this is, made from the fine fleshy internals of not one, but those of 3,003,000 individuals, and an extra 666 for flare! Why haven't you been a naughty boy this year?! No, you prepared my favorite dried skin and mushed brain cookies this year?" At which point you might invite him into your fabulous new home." ~A friendly decor adviser.
"BECAUSE YOU'RE THE ****ING BEST OPTIMIZER ON GITP!!!!"`Shady
"Shady will always poke and prod at infinite power, Drack'll always mutter eldritch secrets while sitting in a rocking chair chewing tobacco infused with spirits of the forgotten gods while swilling century old brandy."`Doxkid
"As always, my suggestion is to pull out all the stops but try to have the maximum amount of fun you can manage.
Besides, Drack is gone now so everyone stands a chance. If ShadowFireLance is moldy String Cheese and abusing wish scrolls is Limburger, Drack would be a ornery old goat daring you to milk it.

Just ask for tips in this thread. Most people here are fine with sharing the tricks of the trade since people sharing is how they learned in the first place.

Death from the Seventh Seal, one of Bergman's most famed works, a nice movie emphasizing the simple pleasures of life while the plague rages through mid-evil Europe. He did some pretty good movies, but not once has anyone commented on the avatar beyond a comment from a friend who's seen far too many classic movies for his own good, who exclaimed "Ah!" pointing at it with glee on his face.

This image is originally from this site: http://www.familytreecounseling.com/...chment_id=1877
Where it is accompanied by a cute little story.
I shrunk the picture down bed and all to avatar size.
Changing it for a change of pace I kept it for a few weeks before changing it back. In these few weeks I received many comments that all seemed to sound more or less like this: "Man, you know, my little brother and I spent like a whole ten minutes looking at your avatar to try and figure out what it was, and when we finally did my brother _____..." cried, wet himself, was too scarred to go to sleep, ect. Apparently the moral is that pictures of monsters that eat little children are not good avatar material. Worse so when the child to be eaten is n a place where they should be safe, and worse still when the picture is small. This both emphasized the weakness of the child in that he's even smaller then a kid, and rather then making the monster look weaker, makes the monster look hungrier and small enough to escape notice and sneak up on you. In the end I switched back.

This image is simple and somewhat culturally cliche. A witch. No, not a groovy modern witch trying to make peace with the earth, but an old witch, old as the roots of a heart tree, extending her lifespan hundreds of years off the youth of children, miserably cursing her endless pains and torments, looked down upon and feared by society as a whole, and it is for this pain and ridicule that she will cast a petty curse. It is for this pain and ridicule that she will call down forces both powerful and dark to claw within your soul and torment you for the slightest slant for if there is one thing she can take pride in it is that all the pain and ridicule, the risk and injury, all that time heeding her own wisdom which cautioned restraint, it gave her but one thing which all will envy. The power to breath life into dreams both merciful and merciless, wicked and glorious, to wield magic few could even dream of. Think for a moment then, if restraint leads to a longer life and more wisdom and power, then surely you can see why never is this terrible power then used.

Best poem ever.
Spoiler“Tiamat who formed all things, made in addition weapons invincible; she spawned monster-serpents, sharp of tooth, and merciless of fang; with poison, instead of blood, she filled their bodies. fierce monster-vipers she clothed with terror, with splendor she decked them, she made them of lofty stature. whoever beheld them, terror overcame him, their bodies reared up and none could withstand their attack.”
