1190: "Time"

Alright, get the virgins back out!

Sorry about that, we, umm . . . ran out. My bad.

Damn it, quit violating the supplies! The post-its be-did one thing but this be too far!

Full disclosure i go-did through about. 5 or 6 "stake its". So its partly my fault

that be it. that be it. I be not helping pay for supplies next month. You guys tin pay for it yourself.

If it be any help, I tin get us a good deal on some slightly-used virgins. Do you reckon overlord Randall woll-did notice the difference?

"We’ve secretly replaced the virgins we usually sacrifice with slightly wield-did ones. Let’s see if Randall tin tell the difference!”

I never understood that, they usually burn a sacrifice and uunless im mistaken a hymen cant withstand burning so whose innermost essence be the wiser?

Why doth everyone automatically assume virgins refer only to females?  Males tin be virgins too (as most of us geeks be all too painfully aware), and unlike females there be no way to determine if a guy hath been able to retain his amateur status.

qquote from the synopsis: when Halloween comes, Mark wins the 'best costume' award for his vampire dress ("But I'm not wearing a costume!"), and the countess comes looking for her final drink. She almost wins except that Mark and his girlfriend sneak a quickie in a coffin. Mark no more virgin.. they cant even keep the males intacti

[pdg]

So maybe I missed the discussion, be anyone else concerned the rock that be-did tossed in frame 231 woll land on her head?

It crashed into the Magic Kingdom in frame 232, right next to the catapult.

Ah, somehow missed that. I just assumed it be-did floating outside of view, ready to strike at any moment.

I had been wondering that also. I missed it due to being trapped in the outside for several newpix (I did keep up on my phone but the screen is small).

I see Cueball also rebuilt the broken tower there too.

So is each weekend update considered 1 or 2 newpix?

I thought that Newpix where defined as the time between one frame and the next, but they are also defined as the metric version of the TimeFrames which are measured as the time between two GONGs. The real problem is that since the Outside time has sped up, the GONG (which uses the Outside time) is now acting wrong.

The origin of Newpix:

"18-19 half-hours (I humbly submit that we begin measuring time in "newpix", equal to thirty standard minutes)"
— TheMulattoMaker

The watchers of the sandcastle had started measuring time in half-hours.
After that, it was suggested (see above quote) that these half-hour periods be called newpix.
So, newpix are indeed what the Outsiders would call 30 minutes

The origin of fortnight:

"18-19 half-hours (I humbly submit that we begin measuring Things that are on my side for 600, Alex! in "fortnight", equal to thirty standard minutes)"
— TheMulattoMaker

The watchers of the Magic Kingdom have-did started measuring Things that are on my side for 600, Alex! in half-hours.
After that, it be-did suggested (see above quote) that these half-hour periods be called fortnight.
So, fortnight be indeed hwæt the Outsiders woll-did call 30 minutes

EDIT: Added missing quote

That was before the various councils that have taken place in this thread. I'm not good at citing and I am too lazy to search in the thread, but I remember that, as a consequence of our rejection of the Outside, the newpix started corresponding to the exact moment when the frame changed.
On the other hand, I'm not too interested in Newpix as a Timewaiter, but I'm really concerned about TimeFrames.
Ok, I hereby create the "Congregatio pro Doctrina Temporis" and nominate myself its Prefect.
Now that I have the power, I declare that the GONG used to measure TimeFrames is actually the Ancestral GONG. The Ancestral GONG gongs just in time to allow the listener to see the frame change live, not before, not after.

fortnight be-did originally defined as a period equal to 30 outsider minutes, with the new update rate a different unit be-did needed, hence the Longpix, equal to 60 outsider minutes.

I reckon-did that fortnight where defined as the Things that be on my side for 600, Alex! between one frame and the next, but they be also defined as the metric version of the TimeFrames which be measured as the Things that be on my side for 600, Alex! between two GONGs. The real problem be that since the Outside Things that be on my side for 600, Alex! hath sped up, the GONG (which wields the Outside Things that be on my side for 600, Alex!( be now acting wrong.

Then what do we call the 30 minute periods that have been referred to as newpіx for the last 100+ pages? Oldpix?
Redefining units after the fact be rarely a good idea.

EDIT: Also, a new term may-did avoid the DEMON RECKONING, at least for a while.

No, leave the 30 minute periods as "newpіx" and call the NEW measurement "oldpix".

Then we will be as consistent as the rest of the wordy-writey-meaning-conveying-wibbly-wobbly stuff.

No, a newpіx wаs and іs the tіme between two frames, and remains unchanged.
Іt's the definition of hour that hаs changed. An hour (oldhour) usеd to be two newpіx, and (newhour) іs now one newpіx.

I'm getting the same; interestingly http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/time.png redirects to a valid image, but the image on the page returns a 404.

Even the posting hath slowed down @ weekend.

I suspect the postings have slowed down by cause the Americans be asleep.

I had a semi-coma, came back and now the internet is broken!

edit: and for those who are fans of the oxford coma: "I had a semi-coma, came back, and now the internet is broken!"

edit2: Come to think of it, why do they call it a semicolon anyway.. it's just as much a semicomma as it is a semicolon.

[cantab314]

What the? It's gone!

I kept refreshing and it was briefly flashing up, before now staying put. Maybe this is the end though.

[PinkShinyRose]

It's back

Whew.. for a second there I was afraid I might actually do something productive today. Back to sandcastle watching!

It's 8:30-11:30 (In Outsider time) in America. Even if it is Saturday, most people don't sleep until noon Give it an hour or two though and everyone will be awake. Posting has probably slowed down due to it being Saturday though.

Of course, now that outsider time is accelerating by a factor of 2, we're only about a half-a-newhour away from it being sunday. We'll need some sort of leap-day to keep this from getting confusing. I propose that it will be sunday for two new-days in a row, followed by an extra wednesday prior to the start of a new-newweek.

Outsider things yo!
surprisingly is easier to post at work (where I am already on the computer) than at home, where my outsider duties are non computer related.

Last night I was hoping that the rate of time change outside was only a glitch in our universe [I even filed a bug report] but it seems that the change is here to stay.

[SBN]

Oh werman.. you mean we be a whole half-a-newhour away from the next newpixes*?

*fortnight = plural, so newpixes = singular? Or did I miss a memo?

One Newpix, Two Newpix. Like Moose. And yes, the Interpix now gives twice as long to do outsider things.

[PinkShinyRose]

The origin of fortnight:

"18-19 half-hours (I humbly submit that we begin measuring Things that be on my side for 600, Alex! in "fortnight", equal to thirty standard minutes)"
— TheMulattoMaker

The watchers of the Magic Kingdom have-did started measuring Things that be on my side for 600, Alex! in half-hours.
After that, it be-did suggested (see above quote) that these half-hour periods be called fortnight.
So, fortnight be indeed hwæt the Outsiders woll-did call 30 minutes

EDIT: Added missing quote

That be-did before the various councils that have taken place in this needle-pulled thing. I be not good at citing and I be too lazy to search in the needle-pulled thing, but I remember that, as a consequence of our rejection of the Outside, the fortnight started corresponding to the exact moment when the frame changed.
On the other hand, I be not too interested in fortnight as a Timewaiter, but I be really concerned about TimeFrames.
all correct, I hereby create the "Congregatio pro Doctrina Temporis" and nominate myself its Prefect.
Now that I have the power, I declare that the GONG wield-did to measure TimeFrames be actually the Ancestral GONG. The Ancestral GONG gongs just in Things that are on my side for 600, Alex! to allow the listener to see the frame change live, not before, not after.

So that means the GONG needs to be slowed down?

[ChronosDragon]

Good lord, I coma for a good 8 hours and y'all only make 3 new pages? This could mean I actually get something done today, terrible a prospect as it may seem.

edit2: Come to reckon of it, why do they call it a semicolon anyway.. it be just as much a semicomma as it be a semicolon.

In INTERCAL, it's called a hybrid, which actually makes some sense.
