1190: "Time"

[jjjdavidson]

In unrelated news: Did the search-party for Pope Helper ever turn up? I'm starting to think he isn't taking his pope-ing seriously.

Last recorded words, from April 6th, Outsider time:

I'ma coma. G'night.

Prolly the cancer's got him

Or, possibly, the search party found him and a few depraved followers holed up in some remote mountain/jungle fastness, Kurtz-fashion, performing barbaric rituals and unspeakable cruelties, and decided to throw in their lot with him, going over wholesale to the dark side.

I'm just saying.

We'll get by. After all,

She slowly but surely catches up. We should prepare a ceremony for when she finally reaches us, in the future!

You are right! If Helper is still AWOL, I propose we make BlitzGirl the new Pope upon her arrival!

Quest progress: 267 out of 325 pages.
The Poles. NP 463.

So in another twenty-one pages, we'll have a new Mome! Huzzah!

[htom]

Several times Helper made reference to "outside duties", which may be the cause of the appearance of his desertion.

Work it, Cueball, work it!

Well, depends on whether you count the previous ninjaed post or not, I reckon.

It's not our fault Cueball builds so slowly. Bring Megan back and we'll have something to type about.

Did anyone even send one? I think we forgot...

An alternative solution to the low pH level would be to send a group of Knights Temporal¹ to politely inform² the Outsiders that all their base are belong to us.

¹ What does one call a group of Knights Temporal? Watch doesn't seem fitting when they're not on watch.
² Better bring the trebuchet just in case, they aren't the most reasonable people.

[KarMann]

We could toss this out for speculation: Do y'all think the left tower will be a clone of the right one, or significantly different? If different, how?

I'm kind of thinking maybe a pointy tower instead of a crenellated one, in parallel with the castles below, would make sense, but it really doesn't look like it so far.

They definitely need to make their Time.

I think it'll be the same.

Or maybe a boogie?

If they're building a larger version of any of the sandcastles below the platform, the castle just below him, on the left (with the two pointy towers capped with flags) seems to be a match.

[descor]

Fortknight?

This.

[KarMann]

Fortknight?

We have a winner!

I'll do it, so long as I don't have to actually do anything.

Fortknight?

I like it, but then what will we call our fort?

[poxic]

Fort of the Fortknight of Knights Temporal. Simple.

[Shepherdess]

D'oh! The answer was so obvious! It's brilliant!

[htom]

Fortknight?

This.

Close. "Forknight"

and then the Fort of the Forknight.

They prod with the Thrice Timed Fork. Or is it the Twice Tined Fork? Whichever.

Low solution pH is easy enough remedy, just titrate in a couple of ml's of 10M KOH

If "Z" is one meter, the platform would still tip if were only half that width. When the platform bases were brought in and raised they were shown to be about 1/2 as wide as the length of the small ones. If they're as long as, for instance, Megan is tall, they'd be just under 3 feet wide. They wouldn't rest securely on 8-10 inch posts. We don't know how big the posts are but, assuming they're wood, they can't be too big - remember, Megan was able to lift and place them by herself.

If Z is one meter maybe they are jamming the boards into the sides of the universe for better stability.

That's one of the best sentences I've ever heard. Might need to sig that.

[spamjam]

Are these forknives being discussed related to sporks?

[spamjam]

[vvn]

Just a thought.

Fort of the Fortknight of Knights Temporal. Simple.

Not a member but perhaps you may want to simplify it to Fort Fortknight Knights Temporal, and the temporal vortex within the fort would be the Fort Fortknight Knights Temporal temporal vortex

[fhorn]

I prefer a horologium of Knights. Don't know which fork they'd use, though...

Holy crap.

The Thrice Tined Spork?

Spork would be better for castle manipulations.

It's obvious: they¹ are in coma, like they said.

When BlitzGirl finally finishes.

"I'm pretty tired. I think I'll go home now."

"Now what do we do?"

That's odd, I'd think that an Arch-Cardinal such as yourself would prefer a top-down approach.

THBBBT!!

Random:
Coffee?!?? They threw Coffee?!? This is getting ridiculous . . . I want a raptor and an armed marine boarding party!

[Eternal Density]

Does BuffyGirl have a 2015 McFly Hat yet* ?
As a Timewaiter such a hat should be mandatory, I think

* I mean in the present, (which is now the past) there should be no doubt that she has one in the future.

Hey I have one of those IRL... hang on, I didn't read your username when I clicked the quote button. We both have those IRL

Anyhow...

So we're looking for a collective noun for Knights Temporal... how about a week?

Or maybe a boogie?

To whomever linked to the gluten-free oatmeal cookies, thanks. My waistline could use some more filling out...

I just popped them out of my NuWave oven. They're a little toasty because I forgot that sometimes cookies solidify when cooling so I kept them in for longer than I should have, but they're still quite good. I used craisins instead of raisins, eliminated the chocolate because I'm apparently allergic, and didn't use any nuts because of lack of supplies. But YUMMY! THANK YOU PERSON!

Edit: Oatmeal cookies count as breakfast, right?

Yes. They are the original breakfast bar. I assume your process was a little like this...

No, it's not that complicated... It's simply a "knumber of Knights"...
