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

There will be no winner, only hours of wasted time. And megabytes of wasted server space and bandwidth.

Ohmygod, then just stop posting. Make your last post your last post (in this thread).

No! This thread is too good a platform for my nonsensical rantings.

Ohmygod, there are plenty of threads which deserve a dose of your nonsensical rantings.

Most of them are on the DC Boards...

I get too angry over there, my rage causes me to accuse pissant posters of being double hand amputees.

Well then, don't read the threads - just post.

I think that's what most people on the DC boards do. That and yell at each other and write nasty things about each other. There was one jerkwit there who said he wasn't shouting: he just liked writing in all caps.

Whatever.

It seems to be what they want out of online communication.

To each their own, I guess.

You can work out what you personally want from online communication by constructing a utility function which sums up what you want from your online experience. From that you can work out your constraint curves.

To maximize your utility you should look for the combination of variables that maximizes the distance from the point of origin.

Or you can just visit sites you like and practice good netiquette.

When I first started posting on-line, I also like to post all in caps. However, when I realized that it wasn't good netiquette, I stopped doing it.

And now you even post in a Victorian Flirting Thread here at Legion World.

Im glad to see this thread hasnt been killed yet - I really missed Abin Quank's "insane" auto-response messages...

Ohmygod, I think Gramps has a new tactic for killing thi thread. Whenever it like annoys hom enough he's gonna re-post some of the funniest bits from the "Ongoing Tag Team Thread" here.

But he promises never to re-post any part of (and I quote) Cobie's Stupid Friggin Giant Ant Story (end quote)

Well, if it's that stupid, maybe it would kill the thread.

Not a chance. Stupidity is ingrained in this thread.

For example, my ISP is currently unable to connect to Legion World. I suspect that when LW has those problems like we've seen the last couple days, my ISP's routers try a whole lot of creative routing to attempt to get a connection. However this leads to really convoluted routes that cannot reach LW from my computer before the timeout occurs somewhere along the line.

I know everything is fine with LW, because I am using an anonymous web proxy to connect and log on so that I may kill this thread.

Maybe your ISP is trying to kill this thread, and by posting here, you're preventing that.

I doubt it. Consider my use of convoluted web technology to continue to contribuit to this thread as a statement of strategic intent to take this thread and win the contest.

I will find a way to post to this thread no matter what circumstance I find myself in. So short of me getting stranded in the arctic with a tin-can phone as my only communications device I will not lose this contest.

I admire your determination.

Or worry about your obsessiveness.

I haven't decided yet.

This was originally posted in the Ongoing Tag Team Thread.

Enjoy!

As is the case with all really stupendous undertakings, which this wasn’t but the LMBPers didn’t know that yet, the first thing that the “Baker’s Dozen” chose to do was stop for lunch on the way. Now it may seem like stopping for lunch would be a very minor detail, not worthy of inclusion in a story of this magnitude. I mean Legion World was being invaded by an army of giant ants with a really bad name and we’re recording the details of the LMBP’s decision on where to stop for Lunch?

Does it sound to you like the LMBP was taking the threat lightly? Well they were. But, in all fairness how would you react to the same threat? Me, I’d call the tallest Orkin Man in town and go back to thinking up really nasty things to do to Cobie’s statue. But, that’s just me.

And that is essentially what the LMBPers did. Well, all except for Abin Quank that is. He was on galley duty that day and didn’t feel like cooking. So, he cornered Cobie and got all duty bound on him. It took a few minutes but he convinced the Security Chief that they really should verify that the Orkin Man did his job properly. Personally, I think it was the stop for dinner on the way line that convinced Cobie and I know it was the deciding factor for the rest of the LMBPers. They were already arguing over where to call for take out.

But where do you stop for dinner that could handle such a diverse group? Ah, that was the question.

Harbinger (and Numf-El) had a hankering for Haggis.

Lash wanted to stop at Mistress Paul’s Powerful Pizza Dungeon.

Semi and Vee wanted to have Wildebeest Steaks at the Starfield Room.

Lard Lad wanted Big Belly Burgers in Big Belly Sauce.

Icefire and Shark Lad Insisted on Swordfish steaks at Cap’n Sharky’s Seafood Shish Kabob Hut.

Cobie wanted Black Raspberry ice cream for desert.

Space Ranger wanted somewhere that served authentic foot long Bratwurst Chili and Sauerkraut Specials (By the dozen, with Michelob chasers).

Fat Cramer wanted to try something called Ant Brood Tacos from Jose’s Entomology Emporium.

The less said about Hummer lass’s choice the better, except that she didn’t need to go anywhere for THAT meal.

Abin Quank didn’t care as long as he didn’t have to cook.

They argued for an hour before reaching a single conclusion. The conclusion was that none of them were going to let the Space Ranger get anywhere near authentic foot long Bratwurst Chili and Sauerkraut Specials (By the dozen, with Michelob chasers). They also decided that Hummer Lass could eat anything she wanted, but not inside the restaurant. This caused Lardy to start singing the parking lot song.

Unfortunately, their argument was brought to a conclusion without resolution when the mangled body of Bob the Orkin Man was flung thru the front door…

I feel this thread dying already.

The thread is not dying; it's just sucking the life out of everything around it.

That must be the sound I heard. I thought it was a vacuum cleaner.

Oh great. So this thread is now a vampire.

I feel better already.

It is an idea vampire for sure.
