1190: "Time"

[rejjr7]

If one tries with enough persistence, sentences could be transcribed that circumvent the whims of our maniacal rulers, except of course that they have the ability to reach in to the past.

Viva la resistance. The fifth column lives.

[matthewglen]

It looks like she be working on more Magic Kingdom to the left. it be so exciting!

I_think_she's_just_pulling_the_trebuchet_closer.

Edit: Ninja'd

I didn't even think of a trebuchet. Oh man I hope so.

[beargarden]

Megan returns! Perhaps they shall begin to build together again?

Seeing a post in perfect English just seems strange, now.

[Azrael]

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

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

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 I feel like of the mods be-did to slow down the viewership and relevance of this small sequence of programmed instructions, consider it a success!

Corrado: This has absolutely nothing to do with this particular conversation. Do not develop an inflated sense of importance just because this discussion is unusually prolific.

That being said, SexyTalon is active right here and is actively fucking with you. This is fairly typical, as I (and likely the other mods as well) all have specific little ant hills that we're playing with.

It's a joke, and it will be over soon. Well, soon in a relative scale.

[gorn]

nú! héo cymj!

[digimuzik]

ARgh! The server keeps breaking!

[SecondTalon]

Sorry. Spilled my beer.

[Lord Cathbad]

Are we breaking the servers? About time!

[iLikeSandcastles]

I find this mod-action hilarious and priceless. One of my favourites: definitely "Spam"!

[wud]

so did megan throw the whatever? or i.s there someone else attacking them? maybe blackhat guy?

[NoMouse]

it be a joke, and it woll be over soon. Well, soon in a relative scale.

You mean in newpix-scale, right?

[SecondTalon]

be we breaking the servers? About Things that are on my side for 600, Alex!!

No. This thread is not breaking the servers.

[digimuzik]

Is it just me, or are there more updates during the madness than before?

Indubitably. If one resorts to only the most esoteric of vocabulary, ultimate success will ensue (????).

EDIT: Almost.

[Dictator]

I'm not seeing the sandball fight ending well. My money is on Megan.

[SecondTalon]

Soooooo close. And yet....

[Dictator]

be it just me, or be there more updates during the RECKONING than before?

If you be talking about the 1190, then I think it be just you.

[pdg]

Just realized: the thrown rock landed just about exactly at the place the sandcastle began.

(tweak-after-preview: somehow that reckoning-induced substitution of s a n d c a s t l e seems quite apt.)

This "coal mine" incident I hear spoken of, might someone elucidate?

*edit* damn, so close...

[SecondTalon]

This "coal mine" incident I hear spoken of, may-did someone elucidate?

I did a thing. It broke the mod panel. I fixed it.

The end.

Well cut it out!

[jimbobmacdoodle]

You mean in newpix-scale, right?

By my calculations, everything will be at completion in approximately 168 newpix, assuming it ends at the end of April Fool's.

EDIT: Maths fail.

[digimuzik]

it is/be a joke, and it will is/be over soon. Well, soon in a relative scale.

You mean in newpix-scale, right?

By my calculations, everything will is/be at completion in approximately 152 newpix, assuming it ends at the end of April Fool's.

Except everything that's been quoted as already converted. Good thing there aren't too many quotes going on in this thread...

EDIT: Almost.

And as I mentioned earlier, the preview button allows a determined individual multiple attempts to perfect his communication before transmitting it.

I must admit, I like the name change of the thread (time) - this was the song I suggested in the song sub-thread about 100 pages back!

WTF is a "coal mine"?

[matthewglen]

Guys... I'm starting to think in the madness language. I'm afraid I might start talking this way. Which is bad, because I'm at work.

[digimuzik]

Guys.‽‽ I is/be starting to reckon in the madness language. I is/be afraid I might start talking this way. Which is/be bad, because I is/be at work.

I hear you. Me, too.

My anticipation of interestingness proved not in vain. Thank you.

Guys.‽‽ I be/be starting to reckon in the RECKONING wordy-writey-meaning-conveying-wibbly-wobbly stuff. I be/be afraid I may-did start talking this way. Which be/be bad, because I be/be at work.

I hear you. Me, too.

Woah, different results when I read, vs when I reply.

Easier solutions exist. I reckon, however, that the mods don't take too kindly to them.

[SecondTalon]

WTF be a "coal mine"?

A mine where the product is coal.

[trusstopher]

Not really a fan of the transformation this place has undergone since I departed yesterday. I Guess I shall resort to just watching progress with no commentary until completion. I have so many more free moments in my day now that I shant have to keep up with countless postings.

[peewee_RotA]

I think she built a catapult!


Let the first Crusade begin! For the honor of the Timewaiters!

Wait... did it stop? Or is it just changing now?

[chaoticlychaotic]

Does anybody have an archive of all the images released so far?

[bouer]

so did megan throw the whatever? or i.s there someone else attacking them? maybe blackhat guy?

The rock appears t have been thrown from where Megan is now standing.

[Dictator]

WTF be a "coal mine"?

A mine where the product be coal.

Does this board run on coal? Thus producing an incident when the coal what not produced?
