General Chat / What D&D character are you?
« on: September 22, 2010, 10:41:08 PM »
Like the personality tests topic, only nerdier! Try it!
I Am A: True Neutral Human Cleric/Sorcerer (1st/1st Level)
Ability Scores:
Strength-11
Dexterity-10
Constitution-9
Intelligence-14
Wisdom-10
Charisma-10
Alignment:
True Neutral A true neutral character does what seems to be a good idea. He doesn't feel strongly one way or the other when it comes to good vs. evil or law vs. chaos. Most true neutral characters exhibit a lack of conviction or bias rather than a commitment to neutrality. Such a character thinks of good as better than evil after all, he would rather have good neighbors and rulers than evil ones. Still, he's not personally committed to upholding good in any abstract or universal way. Some true neutral characters, on the other hand, commit themselves philosophically to neutrality. They see good, evil, law, and chaos as prejudices and dangerous extremes. They advocate the middle way of neutrality as the best, most balanced road in the long run. True neutral is the best alignment you can be because it means you act naturally, without prejudice or compulsion. However, true neutral can be a dangerous alignment because it represents apathy, indifference, and a lack of conviction.
Race:
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.
Primary Class:
Clerics act as intermediaries between the earthly and the divine (or infernal) worlds. A good cleric helps those in need, while an evil cleric seeks to spread his patron's vision of evil across the world. All clerics can heal wounds and bring people back from the brink of death, and powerful clerics can even raise the dead. Likewise, all clerics have authority over undead creatures, and they can turn away or even destroy these creatures. Clerics are trained in the use of simple weapons, and can use all forms of armor and shields without penalty, since armor does not interfere with the casting of divine spells. In addition to his normal complement of spells, every cleric chooses to focus on two of his deity's domains. These domains grants the cleric special powers, and give him access to spells that he might otherwise never learn. A cleric's Wisdom score should be high, since this determines the maximum spell level that he can cast.
Secondary Class:
Sorcerers are arcane spellcasters who manipulate magic energy with imagination and talent rather than studious discipline. They have no books, no mentors, no theories just raw power that they direct at will. Sorcerers know fewer spells than wizards do and acquire them more slowly, but they can cast individual spells more often and have no need to prepare their incantations ahead of time. Also unlike wizards, sorcerers cannot specialize in a school of magic. Since sorcerers gain their powers without undergoing the years of rigorous study that wizards go through, they have more time to learn fighting skills and are proficient with simple weapons. Charisma is very important for sorcerers; the higher their value in this ability, the higher the spell level they can cast.

Not at the Dinner Table / Does the moon exist?
« on: September 21, 2010, 10:48:21 AM »Quote from: The Moon - The REAL Truth!
However, eminent scientists, working in defiance of the establishment, have proven conclusively, using the most scrupulous methods, that if an object such as the moon really existed, it could not remain fixed in the sky for very long. Proactive arguments in support of this finding return to a closer examination of the original mathematical formula generally referenced when rallying to solidify the moon’s improbable existence:
F = GMm/r2
Where F = gravitational attraction
G = the gravitational constant
M = mass of one body
m = mass of the second body
r = distance between the two bodies
Established by Newton himself, this numerical gem is based completely on the assumption that the moon travels in concentric circles around our planet. F (the gravitational attraction holding the moon to its "true" path) requires that r (the distance between the two celestial bodies) remains constant. Should the distance, r, decrease at any given moment, the gravitational force will increase in strength. When this event occurs the moon will be pulled towards this planet. According to Newton’s theory that a body set in motion remains in motion, such an incident would initiate a logical series of events with a singular chaotic result: propagated drawing of satellite to planet until the two massive bodies collide.
However, even the most fanatical Lunarists no longer cling to the absurd notion that objects in the solar system travel in concentric circles. These so-called "scientists" have changed their story so many times, who knows what to believe anymore? The currently fashionable dogma is that the route followed by celestial bodies is not circular but a concave oval with the origin point at the centre (in the case of the earth, the sun; in the case of the moon, the earth) followed by a spiraling series of pathways. Thus, the moon is not maintaining a constant distance from our planet. Our orbiting satellite is forever oscillating towards us, drawing near then distant, in a continuous cycle. Each successive approach brings this massive wonder closer to our midst.
In other words, the moon does indeed alter its distance from the earth. So why is it not widespread knowledge that the end – mathematically predicated BY NEWTON’S OWN FORMULA - has been anticipated and is drawing near? Due to some irrational explanation the moon has managed to defy those very laws of physics that were originally developed to justify its existence.
The authorities expect us to believe a story that is prima facie absurd, and has been proven absurd by simple mathematical calculations. Yet they do not give us a single piece of reliable forensic evidence, nor an argument put forward by any expert free from institutional pressure.
So, does the moon exist? There's a $100,000 reward if you can prove it does.

Not at the Dinner Table / Vladimir Putin wants everyone to know that he is most definitely not gay

When asked by a reporter about the "political marriage" between him and President Medvedev, Putin responded, "Mr. Medvedev and I are people of a traditional orientation. I can tell you this with complete certainty. As for marital unions, you have exaggerated a bit. But we are friends, friends for many years, I have already said this."

Most Nevadans get really miffed when you pronounce it "Ne-vah-duh" instead of "Ne-va-duh" apparently. An outgoing Democrat assemblyman, however, has proposed legalizing both pronunciations, to be more tolerant of Spanish-speakers.

General Chat / Chinese traffic jam enters 11th day
« on: August 24, 2010, 02:05:52 PM »
Expected to last through mid-September
Quote
Drivers stranded in the gridlock in the Inner Mongolia region and Hebei province, headed toward Beijing, passed the time sleeping, walking around, or playing cards and chess. Local villagers were doing brisk business selling instant noodles, boxed lunches and snacks, weaving between the parked trucks on bicycles.
Though there were no reports of road rage violence, drivers complained about price-gouging by villagers who were their only source of food and water. A bottle of water that normally costs 1 yuan (15 cents) was selling for 10 yuan ($1.50), while the price of a 3 yuan- (45 cent-) cup of instant noodles had more than tripled, media reports said.

Not at the Dinner Table / Blizzard forums to require real names

Also this
My opinion: Despite what Google and the government want you to believe, anonymity isn't just for bad people. It's also for people who don't want to get stabbed in the chest. I don't even know where to begin on how ill-advised a requirement like this is. And how is it even going to help? The people who troll forums aren't the responsible people who would be deterred by this, they're the 13-year-old idiots (no offense to the many non-idiotic 13-year-olds in here, of course) that can't begin to grasp the consequences of putting their name on the internet. 13-year-olds who will now be much easier for pedophiles to track down, I might add.

Video Game Chat / The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
« on: June 15, 2010, 11:38:14 PM »
There should be a topic for this by now I think.
Quotes from the roundtable:
"We made the map easier to read so it's much harder to get lost. One of our objectives was to bring the core gameplay back and not have all the focus on the amount of dungeons or what the story is."
"Last year we showed a single piece of art. Back then, the story was pretty much complete. We just didn't have much in the way of anything visual to show. For the most part, we're in the final stretch. We still have some dungeons to create, but the gameplay is solid. We're just not confident that we can get the final pieces in for this year. So that's why we revealed a 2011 release."
"How many people remember the scene where Link dives off the cliff in the trailer? That's a very important point for the storyline. This time around, Link is born and raised in a land called Sky Loft, a land floating above the clouds. It may sound unique for someone to live on a floating land, but Link finds it ordinary. A land beneath the clouds is discovered, it's ruled by evil forces, but Link is forced to go there. Link has to travel between the two lands in this adventure. The Skyward Sword is his driving force behind his traveling between lands. That mysterious figure in last year's art is the Skyward Sword. People suspected this to be the Master Sword…but spoiler alert, the Skyward Sword becomes the Master Sword."
The HUD won't be as screen-dominating in the final version, and you can turn it off.
It will have orchestrated music (We couldn't very well do orchestrated music for Galaxy 1 and 2 and then not do it for Zelda, Miyamoto says).
Game continues in realtime while you're drinking potions.

Video Game Chat / Why don't any of you people have Plok
« on: April 03, 2010, 01:25:56 AM »
Seriously why?
It's five dollars used on Amazon. It's beautiful. It's fun. It's touching. It's got thirty-eight levels. It has excellent music start to finish. It has no waggle. It has a button dedicated to ordering hornets to attack your enemies. It could be the SNES game you've all been whining for, and yet
none of you have it.
The second-best SNES game of 1993. Second to Yoshi's Safari.
Go buy it.

General Chat / Weird stuff written in our notebooks
« on: March 28, 2010, 06:05:02 PM »
I'll start.
How can a pessimist call himself a pessimist? Wouldn't any genuine optimist or pessimist just consider himself a realist?
The wedding went off without a hitch.
I want to make an RPG that uses only the space bar. No mouse, no arrow keys, just the spacebar.
Someone should use Sixpence None The Richer's (or whoever did that song) "There She Goes Again" for an incontinence commercial.
A transcript of my brother and sister playing chess:
S: Can you only move diagonally when you jump?
B: Yeah.
S: [moves vertically]
B: You can't do that.
S: You said you can only move diagonally when you jump!
B: Right; when you jump, you can only move diagonally. You can also only move diagonally the rest of the time.
S: Oh. [moves back]
B: You can't do that.
S: I can't move backward?
B: Not until you're kinged.
S: Oh.
B: You have to take that jump.
S: No I don't!
If Zelda is an RPG, so is Metroid. Real-time combat, exploring a continuous overworld, collect weapons and upgrades (including upgrades to HP) and combat skills.
"Yeah, stool softeners make it easier to go. Then you spend half an hour trying to wipe up that sticky mess. Hard stools build character,my boy son. Besides, you know what else makes it easier to go? Effing diarrhea, boy! Would you take a medicine to give yourself diarrhea? No! You'd take something to get rid of it! Because you're weak!"
i have blood on my hands and i dont know why
When I get my own house, every trash can is going to be the kind you open with a foot pedal.
I saw an open box of chicken nuggets in the room. I couldn't remember if I had smelled them in there before or not. I said to myself, "Ah, I thought I smelled... wait, did I? I think I thought I smelled them..."

It's another drawing request thread. I'll likely draw them in the style of the below picture of William H. Taft dressed like Bill Kaulitz doing karaoke (though I might take the time to erase the pencil lines), or like the other below picture of Glorb being poor and stealing stuff if I feel like adding color, but it might also look like the further below caricatures of TMK staffers.

General Chat / Winter 2009 ADVANCED Poster Awards!
« on: December 12, 2009, 07:39:21 PM »
So yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and do this. If anyone feels more entitled to do it, or if you were planning on putting yours up next week, feel free to stage a coup, I won't stop you. Seriously, I back down pretty much instantly from any type of confrontation.
Well, chest hairs are roasting on open files, people in Florida are spraypainting fake frost-like paint on the corners of their windows without having any idea why windows would ever look like that in December, Methodists are already brewing extra pots of coffee getting ready for the other time of year when attendance shoots up 5000% -- yes, it's time for us to celebrate our community and then wait six months for an anticlimactic finish to the whole mess. The ADVANCED Poster Awards are back again for some reason!
The rules:
- You may not vote for yourself. You may, however, vote for me.
- In each category, you may vote for two people. They can be a winner and runner-up, or they can both be equal -- please indicate which way you're doing it (i.e.: 1. Deezer 2. Sapphira or Deezer/Sapphira; if you don't indicate clearly enough, I'll assume they're equal)
- You can put only one if you want, but that won't make it count double.
- You may also abstain from any or all categories if you so desire.
- If you end up voting for more than two people because you can't narrow it down that far, it's not that big of a deal. I'll make it all work.
- All votes must be for stuff that happened in 2009, or after December 20th of 2008 (when the last awards started). Topics and posts must have been posted in 2009, posters must be judged based on their 2009 activity.
1) Best Poster: This year's best all-around poster. In your opinion, who best exemplified the spirit of the Fungi Forums in 2009?
2) Best Topic: Most thought-provoking? Most groan-inducing? Most arousing? You decide! In your opinion, the best topic created in 2009. Please list the name of the topic and link to to it.
3) Best Post: What post was the most poignant, most quick-witted, or best thought-out this year? Please provide a link to the post (use the URL from the
button), and, if possible, a short phrase or sentence summarizing the content of the post.
4) Most Productive Poster: Which poster has made the best use of his or her posts? Frequent posting is not a requirement for this award -- it should be just the right amount.
5) Smartest Poster: Not necessarily the same as the last category, as the smart ones are often the ones that tend to ramble on a bit. Who has demonstrated the most intelligence in the last year? Whose posts have made you think the most?
6) Funniest Poster: These are getting kind of self-explanatory, aren't they?
7) Most Amiable Poster: The welcomingest, accomodatingest, and other words that shouldn't end in -est person this year.
8) Most Creative Poster: Who has been the most original with their posts, images, artwork, or whatever this year?
9) Best New Member: Who was the best new poster this year, whether spambot or real? This person does not necessarily have to have registered in 2009, but must have started posting this year.
10) Blast From the Past: A good number of long-gone members came back over the last year. Which one was the sight for the sorest eyes? Incidentally, you may vote for the Blast From the Past category itself if you wish.
11) Most Missed: On the flipside, lots of people have left lately, either with big tearful dramatic farewell posts or just by gradually being phased out, kinda like Donkey Kong Jr. Who would you kill a small animal to see back here?
12) WTD Award: Which poster made you exclaim "What the dukar?" most often this year?
13) Deezer Award: It's the Deezer Award.
If there's a category you feel I've left out, go ahead and tack it onto your list at your discretion. Categories that get enough votes or that I think are also nifty may also be awarded. You can also complain about the rules and maybe get them changed if I find your arguments cogent enough, or if you can convince everyone to go along with them without my approval. Either way works. It'll all get figured out in the end somehow. Just go for it.
You don't have to start voting right away -- it's always good to start with a discussion period -- but when you do want to vote, copy this form into your post to do it:
Categories other people have suggested (include whichever ones you want, or add your own):
Votes must be submitted before 11:59 PM (EDT) on January 14, 2010. Feel free to change your votes by editing your post up until the deadline if necessary.

9) Best New Member: Who was the best new poster this year, whether spambot or real? This person does not necessarily have to have registered in 2009, but must have started posting this year.
10) Blast From the Past: A good number of long-gone members came back over the last year. Which one was the sight for the sorest eyes? Incidentally, you may vote for the Blast From the Past category itself if you wish.
11) Most Missed: On the flipside, lots of people have left lately, either with big tearful dramatic farewell posts or just by gradually being phased out, kinda like Donkey Kong Jr. Who would you kill a small animal to see back here?
12) WTD Award: Which poster made you exclaim "What the dukar?" most often this year?
13) Deezer Award: It's the Deezer Award.
If there's a category you feel I've left out, go ahead and tack it onto your list at your discretion. Categories that get enough votes or that I think are also nifty may also be awarded. You can also complain about the rules and maybe get them changed if I find your arguments cogent enough, or if you can convince everyone to go along with them without my approval. Either way works. It'll all get figured out in the end somehow. Just go for it.
You don't have to start voting right away -- it's always good to start with a discussion period -- but when you do want to vote, copy this form into your post to do it:
