She's full of it, and always has been.

We need a quote from her

'shorting all those banks doesn't make me a bad person'

'heaps of people did it'

Yeah, even Shep said he hoped she went broke.

you know speaking about qualifications

it's kind of funny how it seems like someone's qualifications never come into question until that person starts having opinions that people don't like

Yup.

One of the more hilarious things about being i nthe Mess over there is that because no one else really knows anything about the military and the members generally back each other is that you could pretty much say whatever the hell you wanted, as long as it wasn't "yeah we secretly landed dudes on the moon in '84"

Notice how I'm not responding to Chocula? I think it's driving him mad. And even if it's not, he's getting into arguments with others about it which is a lol and too much fun for me to stop.

how dare you not jump through his hoops!

i did that as an option for my comments module for work figuring it would discourage spammers and trolls from coming back

the client wanted all content moderated, nothing shows up without someone's approval, so spammers could waste a lot of time with this



but then he said no he wants it normal

because idk

lololol

'So "probably" equals "yes." I'll update my dictionary. By the way, dipshit, there are individual questions tabulated in both your link and the original survey. See Question K1 and see who's ahead of Fox. K2, Fox viewers lose. K3 is a statistical dead heat. On K5, all 3 cable networks are within 2% of each other and more charitable than reality. Huh. Dipshit. As a prior poster said, don't trust cable news. Dipshit.

EDIT: Where's Flagg? Enquiring minds don't really care.'

Chocula claims to be an independent, but he's anything but. I don't ever, EVER, recall seeing him support one liberal policy.

the dragon rar in fantasy is going exactly as i have foreseen

1). Become a female juvenile bronze dragon (I don't think Q would object to the gender flip). This is mainly to maximize my chances of survivability (and by an extension the survival of the newly created dragon race). Since dragons lay eggs, I can't think of any major advantages or disadvantages towards belonging to either gender. Besides, I still have my alternate form ability so I should be able to just change into my original male human form with no problem.

Right...watching the eggs?

Traditionally dragons inhabit mountains, a generally cold and barren area, i can't imagine that dropping them in a hole and leaving would be much of an option.

depends on which universe you're pulling your dragons from

that whole thread is summarised by the title

'stupid rar fatty bullshit for nerds only (detailed)'

that's right

he points out that unlike other fatty bullshit, his has HEAPS OF DETAIL


ps is there a reason to split that shit up by 'how many posts you have = you get better stuff' other than to encourage the long-term members to be invovled

what are the economics of fatso

ps aaron you are sadly uninformed as to the amazing lameness of dnd dragons

consider the following

metal dragons are good

colour dragons are bad

gem dragons are neutral

no really that's how it works

Yeah. I don't want to break my brain by reading the thread though.

Fuck off, really? Jesus.

yeah they're hyperintelligent super-races of magical dudes

but totally predictable around temperament just like humans right lol

I love those old sw rar threads where long time members like me or knife would go "give isd to feds, keep lamba, you guys are tards.

well to be fair at the time they coined that standard there wasn't a whole lot of stuff about dragons that didn't follow the tolkien stereotype

tolkien stereotype, beowulf stereotype, and long stereotype are infinitely better than fifteen different kinds of dragons separated into good, evil, and neutral for both gameplay and for story/whatever.

thankfully at least the most recent edition ditched a lot of that, but you still have color-codes to tell you what they breathe.

Didn't he have one whole dragon?

IIRC skyrim uses the colour system.

Aaron wrote:Didn't he have one whole dragon?

IIRC skyrim uses the colour system.

i mean in the sense of tolkien dragons are evil, intelligent, and manipulative (and he had a total of three dragons, one of whom never gets any lines lol)
beowulf dragons are bestial forces of nature
chinese-influenced long are chill bros who hang out in rivers and eat arsenic and occasionally wreck dudes who try to steal from them but are eager to hand stuff out to heroes

pretty much every game takes d&d's colors if not its attributes

so you're gonna see red, blue, green, black, and white dragons probably.

i don't know how this became complicated

dragons = a giant flying lizard that breathes fire and occasionally talks sass to heroes

but nonono you gotta have ones that breath acid, ones that breathe poison, ones that breathe lightning (wtf), they all gotta cast spells and can shapeshift into humans etc etc

although i forgive monkey for having the dragon there shapeshift into trippitaka's horsie

Were did thr other two show up? I only know Smaug.

Maybe people got pissed if the pc was weak vs fire.
