Wouldn't one lead inevitably to the other?

Personally, I don't see what the big deal is about making threads. Why it's considered so important. You pick a title, copy-paste the first post from the last thread with minor adjustments, and BAM, your done. Perhaps you get a brief moment of somthing as you admire the cleverness of your title, but that's it. It's hardly worth all this drama.

CrimsonAngel · 01-07-2009, 07:38 PM

Would it be ok if.... I maybe came back into ABR through a strange and twisted loophole.....?

Let's just declare your explosion comic non-canon. Heck, we could declare all your comics non-canon and you could re-enter using one of the methods I described last thread, or Soggy has an idea to get you in.

We could just decide your suicide comic non-canon.

Such is the versatility of canonicity as a status

DoomITP · 01-07-2009, 07:42 PM

i have an idea. You came to visit jake because his relative sailed with oliver on the plannar expedition. and you were there too

Even so, maybe 0.001% of those who die become ghosts. The great beings of Law want to increase efficiency, so they just decide to remove the 0.001%.

This may sound evil, but all the inevitable can be evil

A man may raise himself as a lich so he can remain alive long enough to defeat a great evil. A Marut ports in and punches his face in. Evil wins.

A man makes a blood contract with an evil being. He finds out that the man is evil and plans to invade a nearby country to get an artifact.. He disregards the contract to give 50% of his crops to the man's army. BAM! Killed by an inevitable.

The only other way it could work, is that there is a LE Inevitable that catches souls, and a LG inevitable that fulfills why they are ghosts. These are the soul catchers and praesians. The praesians often go to the material plane to aid adventurers.

Quoted for truth.

I'd look for something earlier if you want to oust Gremlin, but I'll just call dibs on the next one to compensate, this one's clearly too far in already to just abandon it.

No. There may be defectives, but all normal inevitables are LN.
And a man who becomes a lich to defeat a great evil, in doing so becomes evil.
Just saying.
And yes, I know that justice can often be very inconvenient.
And how about that '0.001%' is a different type of ghost. Thoughts?
And BRC and kPenguin, I agree. I'm sorry Lying, I just wanted to actually make an ABR thread, and nobody said that you still wanted to make a thread.
EDIT: Oh. CRAP. I am very sorry, I thought it said 'someone' rather than 'no-one'. I'm very, very sorry Lying.

kpenguin · 01-07-2009, 07:56 PM

Indeed.

The idea that we should engage in mindless chatter just to satisfy your ego and let you post a new thread is ridiculous.

Of course, we get enough mindless chatter already.

Szilard · 01-07-2009, 07:57 PM

Gremlin, I just provided a quote which shows that Lying himself said he still wanted to make the thread.

You guys have more drama than the ship thread.

Er.

You did edit it a minute after I posted, and the sentence doesn't make sense when it says someone instead of no one. It just looks like you know that lying wants to make the thread, but you make it anyway.

Anywho,
I think the cheesecake theory of the universe is the tastiest.

How do you "follow" someone on a forum?

No, actually.
I've been lurking on this thread (or these threads, since this particular one is new) for a long time.
Creepy Rabbit is creepy, you see.

Right. I'm going to go away and let you guys do what you do now.

Look, Lying never said anything about my not being able to make the thread. Probably because nobody seems to acknowledge me. And so I see something which looks like he wants me to go along and make the thread, and since it seemed like he had no problem with me making the thread, I went ahead.
Also, it's pretty selfish that Lying would want us to hold off making teh next thread. Which is more important, him or ABR? I mean, I agree with BRC, and I was trying to offer peace, but if you guys want to keep that can of worms open, then fine. I have a pretty good argument here.
And as for letting CA back in: Do we have to?

Gather the Torches! Set up the pikes! Ummm... Cover over the "post reply button"?

Szilard · 01-07-2009, 08:19 PM

I just wanted to prove my point to you that lying did in fact respond to you, but I was confused about your edit.
In the terms of a human life, I would think Lying is more important than a jumble of pixels, plus he's British.

I probably also have a good argument.
We do not have to let CA in, but being the gentleman that I am, I would.

Shades of Gray · 01-07-2009, 08:21 PM

I was the one that gave constructive criticism, and ideas to join back in. *Don't kill me.*

kpenguin · 01-07-2009, 08:22 PM

@Szilard: Sort of waiting for you to post in the pbp game.

I'm waiting for TnD as well.

I was waiting on TnD and the vampire spawn.

I'm just saying, CA is annoying, has bad grammar, and is extremely immature.
And yes, I realize that what I said about Lying came out wrong (sorry, Lying). I meant, 'which is more important? Lying's desire to do the discussion thread twice', or ABR discussion continuing?'.
