Re: Cynical Avocado's Absolutely Admirable Accumulation of Random Bantering #165
A picture of the whole rollercoaster and a close-up on one of the wagons:

Now, how to describe things?
Basically, you can imagine the seats as a swinging (rigid) pendulum, and you move your finger in the way, stopping it's swing. Now, if the pendulum has already stopped pointing upside down (unlikely but possible), your finger in the way won't do much. The same applied to them.Clouddreamer Teddy by me, high above the world, far beyond its matters...

Re: Cynical Avocado's Absolutely Admirable Accumulation of Random Bantering #165
Actually, the speed isn't especially insane. A top speed of 60 km/h is rather low compared to many other rollercoasters. The whole thing about the ride is that the chairs-quadrouples spin around the axis they're fastened to the wagon with, and in a rather unpredictable way at that. You're just as likely to go down one of the falls looking downward as you are facing straight up in the air. And 3,5 G is quite awesome when you have no idea of where you'll feel pulled.
Also, my pendulum analogy is quite broken, and was only there to describe its behaviour.Last edited by Teddy; 2011-08-17 at 03:23 PM.

Re: Cynical Avocado's Absolutely Admirable Accumulation of Random Bantering #165
Sounds most excellent. Didn't you also once suggest a separate theological discussion area for Playgrouners? That would be cool, if we could get a giant free for all going.
Can this achievement stack? Because if so then this is actually the third time I've gotten it.Last edited by DraPrime; 2011-08-17 at 03:27 PM.

Re: Cynical Avocado's Absolutely Admirable Accumulation of Random Bantering #165
Philosophy, theology, checkers. All excellent things. Anyway, we should get things going now. If Skype works, anyone who wants to join can add me (my username is theazuresoul). Otherwise, we can discuss other options via PM.
I've been sigged a few times. It's a rather nice achievement, but I prefer all the compliments I get.

Re: Cynical Avocado's Absolutely Admirable Accumulation of Random Bantering #165
The Playground and an online checkers site.
I'd join but I have a severe lack of an actual microphone that does not require at least 5 tonnes of consoles to work properly. I just gotta wait a few months...
Like X-Box achievements... no.
Also, I probably qualify for mentioned in many sigs quoted on none achievement.Last edited by AsteriskAmp; 2011-08-17 at 04:33 PM.

Re: Cynical Avocado's Absolutely Admirable Accumulation of Random Bantering #165
I once slashed my palm open on a wall. Still unsure how it all went down, really.
I am bored. Also, I tried writing whole papers in German today in my free time at school, for the sake of old times when I actually took German classes, and was disappointed at my limitations in second language when I don't have a pocket dictionary close at hand, and a native speaker at the head of the room. It turned very quickly from a German paper on an actual topic I had thought up on the spot into a German paper lamenting on the poorness of my German speaking skills and capabilities. Ich will es... *sniff*
Sign language.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Oof, that sounds like one night when I slept on a boat. Until I started sleepwalking. Then our stories rapidly become very different.
I was mis-sigged by you!
(Note, these are out of order. And aren't mine.)
Unlocked: Self Loathing: Look at back at an early post and face palm so hard you skullphalanx .
Unlocked: Acceptance: You find a place you fit in.
Unlocked: Pillar of Community: People miss you if you're gone and are mentioned even when you aren't in a discussion.
Unlocked: Memetic Persona: Some part of your persona, sig, avatar, is now memetic on the forum (Example, ThePhantasm's sig).
Unlocked: Maturity: You don't run around squealing like a pig whenever someone responds to a post of yours. You also cease editing a post with "Sweet! I was responded to by a MODERATOR! Whoa!".Spoiler: This signature is a historical relic from a long-ago time of regular forum activity.Aww man! Even all the witty self referencing sigs are gone now!

Re: Cynical Avocado's Absolutely Admirable Accumulation of Random Bantering #165
Well, say there was an achievement along the lines of "complete this on your first try without failing". If you fail, you'll get pretty annoyed by the fact that you never ever will be able of getting that achevement (barring the deletion of save data in some way or another). I.e. you'll be permanently disqualified from taking that achievement.

Re: Cynical Avocado's Absolutely Admirable Accumulation of Random Bantering #165
Means you cant get it because you can never meet the qualifications. Like if there were an achievement to be a member of the Playground at the age of 6. I can never meet that, and I don't think you can. Because I doubt you are under the age of 6.
