Questions for overlord Randall? Erm.FULL STOPFULL STOP

How much semen be soluble in an coffee solution at room temperature?

How big of an catapult woll-did an have to build to fling an person to the moon?

How doth the rate of an continuously updating webcomic affect the amount of posts it generates on the related forum needle-pulled thing?

How many what-if questions tin Vatican Milliner's Perfect Customer Helper the First submit before Randall blocks him?

eow tin't block email-sending, per se. eow tin report weirdos to the FBI, however. Which seems likely at this point.
<snip image>

He tin mark eower address as an entirely legitimate stake by someone whose innermost essence didn't read the rules though, which hath an similar effect.

;_;FULL STOP Maybe if ic make an bunch of different email accou--something about this seems wrong.FULL STOPFULL STOP

ic'm sure quite an few of us—myself included—have several domains on which we could easily create an number of new email addresses for eow.

Yes, that's wrong...

[udscbt]

I go comaing for 5 TF and you elect the Pope?!
I, udscbt of the peanut butter and jelly sandwich, pledge allegiance to Pope Helper (you know, you never use "the first" until someone else chooses the same name, unless "the first" is actually part of the name).
Maybe I will also read the last newpages now.

Hoooly shit this is still going. Glad I didn't miss the end!

[ChronosDragon]

I must follow all the other presumed americans into the coma-void. The outsiders insist I continue attending this educational institution thing, though my waking hours there are spent dreaming of the One True Comic. I think I used to have a life before this, but I pay it no heed now.

That's normal, right guys?

Right?

Oh, and HAPPY POPEDOM HELPER

Aw shucks I'm an official Cardinal :3

[Mr Moriaty]

Morning all,

Congratulations Pope Helper.

As Cardinals do you get to wear fancy robes? And perhaps a cape?
I always thought the pope should have something cooler than the popemobile. perhaps a mechanized walker like at the end of Aliens.

OK, quite right, it seems. I had the right scene in my head, but it's been a long time, and I rather thought that was from the end of the first. I'll add it to the list of things I have to watch again someday.

NewPix on regular old schedule:

Well really that time would be on either schedule.

Edit:

Quest progress: 149 out of 259 pages.
Attack of the Trebuchet. NP 222.

I have coma'ed twice since I last traveled the thread of Time, and the lack of chaos in my brain concerns me. Clearly I have been absent too long. Luckily my path now winds through posts affected by the Madness, as the Sandcastle is bombarded by the First Trebuchet. I suddenly desire to Capitalize as many Mundane Words as is Humanly Possible. It shall be All Too Easy to slip back into the Semen/Coffee River/Sea that is This Thread.

Also, THIS:

Who needs their sanity. Read it all

Dear BlitzGirl,
after all of your messages into the future, I felt compelled to reply by sending one into the past. I hope this message finds you well and that your quest continues strong.

Godspeed,
Smithers

Well, I meant that there hadn't been one on the half-hour, though of course we knew that already. I suppose I just wanted to add a little something because posting just the plain unadorned NewPix gets a little monotonous at times.

[KuwabatakeSanjuro]

And, I agree it is looking like a flood wall now. Are we waiting for the tide to come in now? To see if Megan can save the upper castle from the relentless flow of water?

Must coma, apparently I have some sort of "life" which I am expected to attend to tomorrow. Farewell until we wait together again.

I think we all know what random times are, a list wasn't necessary.

[azule]

I think you all need to know that this thread and this thread only appears to have been Saved, and the wordfilters are only applying to quotes. Elsewhere in the fora these apply for every post.
You have been saved. You should probably hail davean, forum administrator and dark lord among us. Widely speculated to be the origin of Black Hat Guy, it's important that you remember you must never capitalize his name. Ever.

Awesome! Hail davean!

We're special....yes, probably that kind of special.

Scorn‽ Nay, au contraire! I just think they're best provided with a little commentary, especially in these Times of the Long NewPages (& NewPix). With rather little change going on currently, the timing seemed the most relevant thing to mention.
