Jude's Judgmental Jugular Jab and Jibber Jabbery Random Banter #115
Welcome To Random Banter
This is a place for relaxed chatter and discussion of things that we don't consider to be worthy of it's own thread.
For the new people, don't be afraid to hop in, we won't bite. Well, we usually won't.
Just remember, we're silly, weird, unusual, and/or scientifically inclined people who will welcome anyone who wants to have a friendly chatter.
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.

You're one of us. And less than a day did happen. Over 1 post per minute, and it was probably more like 15 seconds. So, are we here, or Thufir's banter?
I don't know that I like people getting creative with the counting. Ah well.
Re: The Throne of Thufir's Thoroughly Theoretical and Therapeutic Random Banter #115
I pronounce this Thufir's banter thread! Let us commence the skittle ritual and the catmuffin summoning. Are there echidnas in New Zealand? Reports seem to conflict, what does the playground know about it?
Re: The Throne of Thufir's Thoroughly Theoretical and Therapeutic Random Banter #115
I'm planting my flag firmly under Thufir's RB thread.
Since y'know... I can?
Anyway.
Hrm, a Wolf, Enchida(or whatever!), and a Cobra slash fiction. The trick would be to do it in a way that wont get me red carded simply for mentioning it.
Re: Gezina's Generally Grandiose Gamut of Randomly Generated Banter #113(+2)
Ahh! The thread has been merged. It's too late to support Thufir! I'm so sorry.
@^I feel like I should mention the idea of a fic where people are trying to eat me and Wolfbane being turned into a vampire.
Re: Jude's Judgmental Jugular Jab and Jibber Jabbery Random Banter #115
I had something witty to say for one of the threads(I won't say which), but I have to say that I like this new one's title better.
@Ms. Malbolge: This is going to be interesting.

I'm going to PM Rawhide about which one...won't be posting in either (any more) until it gets resolved. You're welcome to do the same.
Nevermind

Re: Jude's Judgmental Jugular Jab and Jibber Jabbery Random Banter #115
Sheriff of Moddingham: We like to promote equality of all posters and avoid the creation of an "in-group". That's part of the reason we don't allow discussions of post counts or "first post/first page" shout-outs. There's no magic power or special status that comes with those things. If who starts RB has become some kind of status symbol that people fight over, then we may have to find a way to undo that.
I'm not sure what that'd be but I suspect it would be unpopular. Hopefully, a standard means of determining a thread starter can be created and adhered to - and just as importantly, I hope that manner can be egalitarian.

Re: Jude's Judgmental Jugular Jab and Jibber Jabbery Random Banter #115
So, as far as making "dibs" rules...
My proposal (as stated before) is to be called on page 49. I'd like to add to that that you must wait 10 threads before claiming the next one. If it gets to page 50 with no claimers, it is the duty of the person who hit page 50 to start a new thread.
Re: Jude's Judgmental Jugular Jab and Jibber Jabbery Random Banter #115
Heh, I had to think about it too. I think Roland before I think Jude.
Recaiden, what webcomic artists? Besides the obvious of course?
