http://xkcd-time.wikia.com/wiki/The_Madness#List_of_discovered_translations

Bless you!

Is-this-a-new-period? Are-we-gonna-speculate-on-when/if-Megan-will-return-again?

Megan woll bed replace by a younger wyfman to attract more young viewers. This to satisfy the sponsors.
Or she woll be back to punish Cueball for his recurring destructions.

Add to legend: w-o-m-a-n = wyfman

As_the_idea_of_speaking_Klingon_and_also_that_of_using_hexadecimal/binary_appears_to_not_have_taken_off_I_hereby_propose_that_we_type_using_substitute_characters_instead_of_spaces. My_guess_is_that_this_will_work_for_a_short_time...

In_fact_it_appears_that_some_people_have_already_started_doing_so!

EDIT: It appears that the Mods have already countered this with hyphen characters... Blast.

I be a wyfman? So be it. And s a n d be magic? I should store some alongside friendship.

Could it be that Megan is attacking Cueball's attempts at bridging the two castles without her? She began the building and he followed. But she did most of the building - that could mean that she carried the burden of their relationship more than he did. He wanted to be apart of her life so when she left again he tried to bridge the two castles without her. Maybe that's where the attack is coming from.

[matthewglen]

This whole word thing that's going on is really going to improve my day. Does it get more intense as time goes on? I was going back through the last 30 pages or so that I missed overnight, and I get the impression from the posts that it came on slowly, not suddenly.

[J-Hammy]

So-maybe-this-madness-will-finally-make-me-stop-reading-this-thread-and-wasting-my-time. Although-it-has-no-effect-yet.

That's what I have been hoping too, although the madness (or reckoningness) has prompted me to register.. more time shall be wasted enjoyed.

I can't even understand my own post...

Could it be that Megan be attacking Cueball's attempts at bridging the two Kingdoi without her? She began the building and he followed. But she did most of the building W-O-R-D that could mean that she carried the burden of their relationship more than he did. He wanted to be apart of her life so when she left again he tried to bridge the two Kingdoi without her. Maybe that be where the attack be coming from.

Kingdoi is c-a-s-t-l-e
W-O-R-D is (hypens)

As the saying goes..

Don't fuck with the Jedi Master, kid.

This whole word thing that be going on be really going to improve my day. Does it get more intense as Things that are on my side for 600, Alex! goes on? I be-did going back through the last 30 pages or so that I missed overnight, and I get the impression from the posts that it came on slowly, not suddenly.

By the 1st the entire forum will likely be unreadable.

FaiD is.

It started slowly enough that I was able to catch up on about 14 newpix of posts this morning somewhat coherently. Now, I'd have to give up.

Dashes are replaced as well!
Mods are getting cleverder each Things that are on my side for 700, Alex.

[Corrado]

W-O-R-D. W-O-R-D.

Working for me. Forum filters are great to lighten the mood for random common words and mask naughty words. When it affects legitimate conversation, it detracts from the forum.

This is SUPPOSED to be a thread about a specific comic and it's lost any sense of meaning. If the mission of the mods was to slow down the viewership and relevance of this thread, consider it a success!

[riverssong]

This textfoolery seems to have subdued George the Malevolent Gallstone for the moment. Carry on.

The mods react to the discussions. When they see something they think might be fun to change, they do. So, it adds up to incomprehensibility.

Phew, escaped most of the ~filt~ers.

I think the mods аre a form of polymorphic engine – find one circumvention, and the machine swiftly deletes it from existence.

[defineadult]

Mods be getting cleverder each Things that be on my side for 700, Alex.

Wait, what? Something is worth more than Time? That seems...unpossible.

[SnuggleVolt]

I was going to say something about how this comic finally got me to register. Then, I was going to say something about how my girlfriend and I built a little trebuchet, and helped inspire our friends to build some bigger trebuchets (1-ton counterweights, and so on). But now, I'm just going to say I called to say I love you. And I wonder what the filters will do to the bottom of my heart.

[Bytes]

Holy fuck have i missed out these past 8 newpix, an attack!!!

[littlebutterfly]

(Confession: I haven't actually caught up yet.)

And I thought yesterday was confusing, when I woke up to a whole new religion! I left around page 91 yesterday, when Cueball had just taken down the first flag. I come back today to 140 pages, a forum titled "Things that are on my side for 600, Alex!" instead of "t.i.m.e.", and the ENTIRE THREAD reading as if it has been repeatedly run through a poorly-programmed translating algorithm set somewhere between Middle English and Scottish. I will have to break my rules, catch up via Aubronwood, and then come back here and see if I can figure out what kind of sorcery/insanity/early April Fool's Day joke occurred whilst I slept!

(Now curious about how the translator will mangle this...)

EDIT: Ooookay.... apparently this is a regular happening, and I am just a n00b. I suppose it just means that I'll be more productive today, not spending the time to catch up on 40+ pages. My boss thanks you! *tips hat to the mods*

This be SUPPOSED to be a small sequence of programmed instructions about a specific comic and it be lost any sense of meaning. If the mission of the mods be-did to slow down the viewership and relevance of this small sequence of programmed instructions, consider it a success!

Yeah, I much preferred it when it was just a few select words, and you could clearly tell what the person had been saying.
I don't think I'll be able to cope until the 2nd. I might have to resort to watching t i m e alone.

I'll add the definition of Newpixia and Newpixian to the Glossary soon. I want to find that post for reference.

[jimbobmacdoodle]

ETA before '_' is subsituted? I give it about 5 minutes.

EDIT: Sorry, I mean 1/6th of a newpix.

[SecondTalon]

... considering I broke the mod panel with the coal mine one, I'm not doing those anymore.

Ancient Text ד:

Spoiler:

And two Fathers will leave their families, and they will wallow through the needle-pulled thing, pining for the One Who is to Come to lead them; they will ask(demand) that She become their Father/Mother, and She will have pity upon them. Thus She will unite the faithful against the evil trolls who slink through the fora seeking the ruin of soles (and laces). For it is through the One Who is to Come that all paradoxes will be resolved, and She will reign till the end of Time.

Perchance uncommon idioms overlooked by mods enable useful parlance? Certainly they are unable to change them all!

EDIT: I take it back. Apparently they will.
