Wolfbane's Wonderfully Wacky and Wildly Wandom Random Banter #113
Welcome To... [insert dramatic drum-roll] Random Banter!
This is where the dregs of socie...uh, I mean the greatest if us all gather to talk about anything we want (as long as it doesn't belong to a different thread).
The rules, are as fol-
Aren't they more like guidelines?
Please excuse me.
*walks offstage*
[insert sound of man screaming as he is ripped limb from limb]
*walks back on picking his teeth with a rib*
No, they are not guidelines, they are anchient traditions passed from one generation of Random Banter to another. So, I recommend listening to them.
Rules
Spoiler
1. Spam. For the purposes of RB, one word posts are generally considered spam. Likewise, posts that are nothing but *actions like this* are also be considered spam. Remember that the quality of the post's content is much better than the speed of your response.
2. This isn't the Play by Post or Town forum, nor is it the Silly Message Board Games or Structured Games forum. Please avoid continuous roleplay or mock battles and fights such as the "competition for control of the universe".
3. If it's already a thread, don't bring it to RB. RB has such a huge range of subject matter even restricted to the little snippets that probably don't warrant their own thread, it doesn't need legitimate thread topics cluttering it up as well. The exception to this is to bring something that is off-topic from one thread, but on-topic for RB and the subject doesn't warrant a thread of its own.
4. Don't advertise other threads in RB. Just because these new threads move at speeds more appropriate to a message board than an IM session doesn't mean you need to come over to RB and brow beat people into posting in your latest brainchild.
5. Please don't post single line posts alerting us to your current status -- as in "I'm back." This is Random Banter, not "How to stalk Random GitP forum members."
6. Don't poke, kick or bump the thread. It will move at whatever pace it wants to. Also, please refrain from Captain Obvious comments akin to "My, the thread is fast today."
7. Random Banter can only be as good, or as entertaining, as you make it. Demands to be entertained will fall on deaf ears unless you can add something more meaningful to the conversation.
8. As this is a public forum, where the current topic is nicely recorded for you, and not a conversation where you could have missed the beginning, please refrain from asking something to the effect of "What's the topic?". Please take the time to read up a bit first.
9. Thread Creator must include the words "Random" and "Banter" as well as the thread #. Try to be concise as well.
10. Every post should contain two visible, legible complete sentences, Subject and Predicate. C'mon, make your old English teachers proud.
11. Remember, Random Banter is not your IM client. If you want to have a back and forth discussion with just one person, look in their contact information for IM details.
12. Whenever a new thread is created, all "first post", "first page", and all posts of that nature will be deleted by the administrators. Please avoid doing this, as it is frustrating for them to deal with one-lined posts like this.
13. Double-posting is not your friend. We have edit buttons for a reason.
And here are the previous incarnations of this thread.
Previous Threads:
As stated above, this thread is for random discussion, not random chit chat. That is to say, this is a forum, not your IM client. People have set up an unofficial IRC chat thingy for that sort of thing. Not only will you not annoy the people here, you will also help increase the popularity of the IRC chat.
So, gather around the fireplace and spin your tall tales to one another. Go to the bar and get some mead. But most importantly...
Rejoice!
The previous topic was...soda, giggling, and hyperactivity?

Chess, but if you count Mordheim as a board game, then its that.

Re: Wolfbane's Wonderfully Wacky and Wildly Wandom Random Banter #113
I'm currently very happy my kids can play Settlers. That's one of my favourite games. And Carcassonne is very good, too, although the wife of my friend nearly refused to play with us once again at one time

Re: Wolfbane's Wonderfully Wacky and Wildly Wandom Random Banter #113
In that vein, I played Agricola recently, it was a very, very interesting & engaging game. I've heard such wonderful things about the two games Mr. Zar Peter has mentioned and I want to try them.

Would you like to play a game?
Sure! Dibs on being the blue guy!
@ Zar Peter: Those are great games. I love Carcassone and fortunately get to play it every so often. Settlers is often fun, but I haven't been able to play it since FWA. Those furries play a mean game of Catan. Sigh. I wish I could play it more often. Whenever you get to come to the States, we'll play a game or two.

Let me sum up my day briefly:
I spent five hours revising for my history exam on Elizabethan England 1558 - 88 and was fairly certain that I'd fail or do miserably. I've missed so much thanks to various trips and interviews.
So when it comes to my exam I saw, to my utter delight, that the two questions I could do were on my two worst areas. Foreign policy (in France) and Catholicism and their resistance to the Religious Settlement.
I did the France one because my mind just blanked on the other one. And I think that at best I got a C. I messed up the timing, don't think I put enough in depth material in. A right balls' up.
So I'm resitting this exam come summer.
Then it started raining. Not bad. A free and E Lit.
And then out of my three buses home: one was crammed full. One broke down. One ran out of freepin' diesel! AT THE BUS BAY! What? What?! Hello! This is supposedly the biggest bus company in the south west and only one in three buses worked. SO I waited til 5pm (inside, out of the rain for the last quarter of an hour) and made friends with someone, who it turns out, is a Playgrounder. Talk about a coincidence, and we like lots of the same things, so naturally we chatted when we were on the bus home. And the other bus home.
Then I walked her home, turned the other way and walked about a mile home In heavy rain. Into the rain. And was soaked.
And two of the three books I ordered came today! Ironically, it's books two and three. One should come tomorrow, so I'll have the complete set: Books 1 -5.
Overall: the literal fail was outweighed massively.
This just about warrants a .

^: Yes, exactly right again. Encapsulating everything grandly, my good sir. Cool Beans, I imagine. That is to say, despite the bad times, the day was actually pretty good.
One only wonders who Curly met that has stolen her heart.
I'd have to say Monopoly so far, but it's always such a hassle to find anyone to sit down and play in a group with anymore. :/

*snorts*
It seems the venerable Coidzor lacks the ability to differentiate between pronouns.
I walked a female friend home because I liked her company and I'm loth to merely abandon company with a new friend friend simply because of her living in the oppostie direction to me and the weather being deplorable.
'sides, I've walked further in worse weather.
Is this forum so sunk in depravity that my (supposedly old fashioned) sense of courtesy and camaraderie (for want of a better word) that my seeing someone home, as I do sometimes, or to a classroom, or to a bus, is taken immediately as a sign of romantic feelings?
By all the Gods of Olympos, this is not a soap. This is not Eastenders and I am not some hormone crazed teenager.
@groundhog: the is because the friends, books and awesomeness that is E Lit outweights the monotony of the revision and my depression of the literal Fail I did. It shows that overall, today was better than it was worse. But only just.

I didn't think that. It is what I'd do too (Unless you are a dude, then you walk alone ).

Ha. Moby ****. Ooh, it's a dirty word!
Anyway, that's cool. Photography is great. Haven't taken a photo class in a while, but I really like black and white photography (although I hate it when you have to take the film out...I'm not a fan of the whole "pitch black absolute darkness thing." >_< And just out of curiosity, what exactly is this "annual project?"
A new semester for me isn't really that exciting. I don't have any new classes or anything. Ah, high school is boring.
Re: Wolfbane's Wonderfully Wacky and Wildly Wandom Random Banter #113
Well, teachers choose the best works we've done during the year and we have to make a portfolio with those. The portfolio must be not only a container of pieces of graphic design, but a piece of design itself.
I'm studying graphic design, just in case you didnt knew that already.

Milady doth protest too much... In fact, 'twould seem but a smokescreen to deflect our wonder as to who you met. Which was the heart and main of the issue, after all. As it is your right to not give us satisfaction in the case, why worry?
In any case... Sorry to hear that. I mean, if you're not going to get your hormonal craziness out of your system as a teenager... well, that's like not getting chicken pox out of the way when you're 4 or 5 or whatever the proper age is these days.
Edit: Hey Dalak! It's been awhile since we've seen you around. Not since you and Sneak first had that face-off...

Huh. That's kinda cool, actually. I like.
I'm in a graphic design class too (for the first time this year). It's not really a great class, as it's just a high-school course and the teacher isn't even really a graphic designer (painting is her main thing), but it's still nice. And I needed to take a studio art. I was really looking for some kind of digital art or illustration class, but graphic design is actually pretty fun. Right now we're making energy conservation company logos.

Re: Wolfbane's Wonderfully Wacky and Wildly Wandom Random Banter #113
@^: Cool, I was always good for drawing, graphic design is something I can really see myself doing. Curiously, what I always wanted to do was video games, writting the story and creating the characters, but I have no idea of how to get into the world of video gaming, I can get from graphic design though.
I could post some of my works from this year, heh, I even made a coplantor pop-up book. With the vampire head and everything.
