Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly The Kill-This-Thread Contest!

Oh my goodness! Almost 48 hours without a Tamper Lad post to Killing-this-Thread. How could it have come to this. Dread not, I have returned to once be the fount of erudition for this thread and Legion World.

Speaking of penalties, the reason I post so much to this thread is because I use a managegerial accounting technique to assign a cost associated with not posting to this thread. Much as a store running an inventory system assigns a cost in lost business associated with a stock out.

In my model LW suffers a loss of $100 for every hour without my spreading these wonderful posts. So in the 47 hours since my last post, the cost of the lost knowledge/entertainment to Legion World is approximately $4700.

Ohmygod, **Yawn** What's the like cost in so many lost brain cells for those of us who like try to read your boring posts?

There is no activity-based costing valuation assigned for brain cell loss. I do assign a cost of 50 cents a minute for everyone who reads my post.

For the above post reading time is 0.5 minutes. So when you read the post I costed it at 25 cents. As a proxy for total cost I multiply by 1000 representing LW membership and the unregistered world beyond. Ergo the cost total of the above post is $25.

Based on this I should make a post like the previous one every 15 minutes to maximize the utility to Legion World.

Abin Quank....please "kill this bastich thread" -it is making me so depressed already...

Oh would you look at that it's been an hour since my last thread post. Thus to maximize LW Utility I need to make a post four times as long as the one on page 65. Hole on I need to find a classic from yesteryear. I posted the Brazil Free Trade FTAA/MERCOSUR one already right?

As luck would have it all that goodness is on my other compy a laptop which regrettably is in the shop getting a new CPU fan this week. Thus you will have to make due with my rambling narrative for the rest of this week.

Abin Quank.....we neeeeeed yoooooou....

Eating those chocolate-covered espresso beans again, huh?

The pen is mightier than the sword - except when the boss is looking over your shoulder

Almost two hours again. Alright Legion World now I must give you $200 dollars worth of Tamperish goodness. I will say though I've been known to eat espresso beans, I tend to avoid it because the do really make me hyper.

Tell me what you want me to discuss, and in my next post I'll give you 200$ worth plus the 4700$ worth I owe you for not posting in this thread for 47 hours. Remember the first post on this page was only worth 25 bucks.

If this doesn't kill this thread nothing will.

Except you have about 1500 more posts to do it in, dude...even you havent got enough interesting factoids to go that far...

Nova and the others who know Tamper in real life who've been subjected to a ten year email thread that looks surprising like Killing-this-thread would disagree.

The first post on this page is 130 words. If that's $25 bucks worth. I owe you 130 x 19,600 words in my next post or about 250,000 words. EDIT: Correction about 2.5 million words.

Now pick your doom Legion World or surrender victory to me.

Hmm... perhaps we should redirect Telly to Cobies "Inane 1000 word posts thread"?

Shoot I miscalculated the number of words by an order of magnitude. It's actually 2.5 million.

Is that the New Math, TL?

It's nice to be needed!

AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!

DIE YOU BASTICH THREAD!!!

DIE!!! DIE!!! DIE!!!

(You asked for it, You got it! Only this time it's LAM's Fault)

<marquee behavior=alternate> </marquee>

If I had to pick the lesser of two evils, bud, it wouldnt be Tamper Lad...

If I am to be part of an axis of evil. It is good to be on top.

Ohmygod, You are such a rude jerk...

Everyday girl would like to be part of an axis of evil someday.

Ohmygod, Only if I get to break it over your stinky head.

Getting back off the topic of Everyday Girl's attempt to hijack this thread and on topic of killing this thread. The ability to spin thread from natural fibres was one of the first industries in civilization.

It's rise led to the rise of animal husbandry especially of goats and sheep.

Everyday Girl is a sweetie, don't knock her, dude!

Ohmygod, Mr. LAM you are so Sweet! And Mr. Stinky-Head Green Puss is so Rude!

Animal husbandry means the possession and mastery of animals. Someday, when Everyday Girl has a husband of her own, she may find rigour and discipline in domestic life.

Give her a bit of time to grow up first - at the moment she's having lots of fun with her loaded guns...
