Oh man where have you been, Cardinal udscbt?! We worried you might have slipped in the same Time vortex as our beloved and missed Helper. Welcome back, and enjoy 100 missed newpages.

Are you sure you aren't a schism of the Western Paradox Church?
Don't worry, I won't be singularing anybody who doesn't want to be singularized.
Although that kind of defeats the point of a religious singularity.
But then again, I am the Patriarch of the Western Paradox Church.Valarya wrote:<snip>

You should reacquaint yourself with the Book of Aubron. There was a Time of Fading that caused mass panic only a few short newpages ago.

I just assumed we flipped 180° since there was a whole fade-out thing that happened and guessed they're still traveling away from the sea.

Lyoug wrote:Kieryn wrote:<snip>

Yup, that's why I think maybe eras (and periods, and aeons/eons) should be named only a fair amount of newpix after they are over. Or at least stay very open about renaming them afterwards, which I don't doubt for one second here in the OTT1, but this might cause much more historical confusion than just settling for a name only once the period is unanimously viewed as over.
1 EDIT: and patzer just confirmed that.
(I'm so slow, everytime I post, I have to hit submit and read the ninjas at least three times)
EDIT2: I like the term "Scenes"!

How sad... That's like saying, "I really am too lazy to live all of my life. Maybe someone else can just tell me what I've missed..."
Time (like life1) can only be experienced first-hand, moment-by-moment. You've been granted a wondrous gift in this needle-pulling-thingy -- the ability to re-live, Newpix-by-Newpix, each glorious instance of Time in all It's grandeur and beauty, and you can't be bothered because you're too lazy.
My heart weeps for you...
