Dragonprime's Dynamically Dangerous Dextrous and Destructive Random Banter #118
Welcome To Random Banter
We hope you enjoy your stay.
We still might kill you, though.
This thread does exactly what it says on the tin. Only it's not in a tin. RB is a place to talk about... anything you feel like. Anything (As the title suggests) random, that you don't feel is significant enough to merit it's own thread. Though some topics seem to come up more frequently than others (e.g. Maths and Shakespeare)
New people should not be scared, we're all very nice really. Well, except for that guy over there, but never mind him. Feel free to jump in. I did, and see, now I have the transient and entirely worthless pleasure of making the new thread myself.
I'm afraid there are a few rules, put in place to keep these threads from getting out of hand.
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, linked for your convenience, 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, banter away people!

You wouldn't believe how long that one's been in my head. I've been dying to make one of these threads for so long that I created this in advance. I just always seemed to forget to actually make a new Random Banter thread. Although I was considering naming it Dragonprime's Alliteration-Free Random Banter, but I'm not sure everyone would be as amused as I would.

I know I wouldn't be. I was considering something less adjectivealized, but I lost my chance again. And I guess I was wrong, although we still had 17 posts left.
@Cristo: No idea. I certainly couldn't.
@^: No. You have about a month to change it. Something like 29 days 18 hours?

Although as to the first...I don't exactly charge it frequently. >.> Mostly because no one ever calls me.
I am guessing that is due to a distinct shortage of people who know the number.

Daddy, I would think you'd be delighted that I have no friends! Thus, I don't have to talk to anyone. Thus, I remain PURE AND UNSULLIED by the foul winds of culture. Or something like that.
Re: Dragonprime's Dynamically Dangerous Dextrous and Destructive Random Banter #118
I prefer text conversations to speaking, so I don't use the phone a lot. Just with people around here for social engagements and things. Sometimes over the summer a friend will call to blabber at me.

I am not brave enough to say something outrageous and be serious. You'll be happier if you assume I'm joking.

Also, Recaiden: I never actually said that it BOTHERS me that no one ever calls. Given that I'm a self-advertised antisocial scaredy-cat, it should come as no surprise that I'm also allergic to phone conversation.

You too? I just think people couldn't be more afraid/antisocial than me. At least that's what I feel today. Although, if dragonprime is agreeing with me, maybe it's not the best idea.

I find this mildly offensive.
I don't use the phone. The government sends their brain altering signals through the phone lines, and I can't always wear my tin hat.

This made me so depressed I think something must be wrong with me. Or I can't tell when people are joking again. Or I'm being closed minded and crazy. What is your opinion, and a little more explanation, please.
