1190: "Time"

[GerardE]

TREBUCHET

OK, probably not allowed on the golf course, though possibly useful there as well

[Kyrie]

Shut up, take my money and aeroplanes and give me a mini trebuchet! A mini trebuchet for my ca$tle!

[Strouticus]

Definitely trebuchet, or small camera on cart of strings. Forgetting to check the site with how much I watch the thread. All-consuming.

TREBUCHET

new sport?

[Dictator]

There be no clarification yet on the yukky substance in Megan's mouth, but it be the same colour as the trebuchet. So be the trebuchet made of coffee? Coffee be black too.

Backshadowing. Everything can be black. Keeps the options open; more fun.

[ZapTap]

Been lurking all week and finally made an account. Cool as a trebuchet is, does it mean the end?

[llameadrpc]

Is the whole thing a coding metaphor?

Spoiler:

Water = runtime

Cueball and Megan = multithreaded compliler

I have some in my mouth = runtime errors

projectiles = testing.

bridges = linker code

[Magdiragdag]

If you're going to play with sandcastles you've got to do it right.

[Davidy]

When/why did Time change?

[Grepus]

Trebu-mothertrucking-chet!

Only if they had a bunch of rocks.

My prediction is the castle will be destroyed looking very much like the first frame and will loop?
Entropy...

[pdg]

This reminds me of when I was a kid, I'd make buildings out of Lego and set them at the bottom of our stairs.

Then I'd sit at the top of the stairs, raining Lego projectiles down upon them and enjoying the random destruction (and occasionally being told off by my parents for making so much noise!)

Ah, good times.

[Lord Cathbad]

My prediction be the Kingdom woll be destroyed looking very much like the first frame and woll loop?
Entropy...

I really hope so. I can't be following this forever.

[Magdiragdag]

Look, zoomin/panning has started again.

EDIT: never mind, it stopped again already.

[Stealth Beige]

So, not a sand cannon. But maybe a trebuchet is more gooder (typed that way, not substituted).

[Dictator]

So, not a Magic cannon. But maybe a trebuchet be more gooder (typed that way, not substituted).

I think the subs don't work on this thread unless you quote. I think.

[Montov]

That is very clever. A continuous loop would be very logical as a way to keep the 'animation' visible forever without the need to create content for 100 years.

[Whizbang]

Who says it needs to loop seemlessly? Maybe one day it will just reset back to frame 1, no matter what state the last frame was in.

[mybrainhurts]

C'mooon mods - still no replacement for TREBUCHET!?!

[Srt252]

I am a proponent of loop theory, think it's the best way to go. This might also be the first evidence against erosion theory, although I think I would have preferred that.

[hdhale]

Trebuchet...called it.

His best bet is a sally forth some lightly armored knights with sword, pitch and torches to put an end to that thing.

Or join in the fun. Trebuchets are as much fun as a potato cannon and don't require an accelerant.

[pdg]

So, not a Magic cannon. But maybe a trebuchet be more gooder (typed that way, not substituted).

I reckon the subs don't work on this small sequence of programmed instructions unless you quote. I reckon.

They also affect the preview, but not the final posting, at least for some substitutions*.

Edit: * subject to future change, E&OE, YMMV, batteries not included.

[Tophe]

Baby trebuchet!

Perfect for launching semencancercaffeinebabies!

[Opiboble]

Backshadowing. Everything tin be black. Keeps the options open; more fun.

Some bodily fluids can’t be black... Some are quite clear...

[Sedasa]

Half the fun of building a sand castle is knocking it down.

Well, they can sometimes be black, but that's usually a sign you need to see a doctor.

[Valarya]

Christ.. I sleep for 16NPs and have a 4NP meeting at work, and the thread is now 45 more pages deep and has a new title.

Now to spend the rest of my work day catching up on the wiki.

Oh and: HECK YEAH CATAPULT! "The wall will fall. Tis what walls in tales do."

[Lord Cathbad]

Baby trebuchet!

Perfect for launching semencancercaffeinebabies!

And there's no substitution for that?

[xspeedballx]

I am so glad that I can come back a day later and there is still conversation about cancerous guarana klum babies. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy.

[wud]

I think we need to award Randall the Newpix award.

[speising]

for all wondering how much time passes between frames: this animation moves at the speed of plot.

[ckthorp]

Randall must be watching the forums for inspiration. We've got flags and a trebuchet now. If they adopt a new religion, then I think we have conclusive proof.

[xspeedballx]

And if they just start flying we will know it is on Titan.

[any1]

Fetchez la vache!

[(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻]

Randy doesn't read the forums. Like ever. Seriously.
trust me on this one.

[Kyrie]

Noooooooooooooooooo, not the castle!

[pdg]

The newpic cometh!

INCOMING!!!!

[Foarm]

Don't be daft, religion takes time...
Oh wait...

[bouer]

And if they just start flying we woll ken it be on Titan.

Azrael just told us he is not reading this. Seriously.
