Hm...never been in the basement before...it's rather dark down here...and damp...mighty damp...not really sure if I feel safe down here...think I saw something furry moving in the shadows...hm, what do we have here..."Kali. Take once every morning."..."Lev Prime RS"...mmm, looks like a journal, 'Stone' written on top, looks like it's been written over something else: hard to read, 'Cameron' maybe?...that furry thing just ran past...what's this?...man, this box is HUGE..."Herb's Nuke Box"...okay, yeah, that makes sense...just stepped in something squishy...AND WHAT IS THAT SMELL?!?

Does it make any difference if the squishy stuff was purple?

Anyway, so who are the denizens of this subterranean world.

Also, why does IE have a quarantine sign by the door? Something about rabid marsupials?

Spelunking, huh?  You know, there's medication that'll keep you from doing that on a regular basis. ;)

This place is just for grinding your post count. Like a spawn spot of MMOs. But instead of garish coloured animals that look like they were stitched together from mismatched parts and who spit out shiny coins or gems if you put them out of their misery, you get...

...wait a minute...

...there is no "instead". What was I thinking?

Only really matters if you care about Post Count though. Beyond that the space is for having fun!  ;)

Numbers -are- fun!

I´d also like to point out how much I approve of the frequent and sustained use of the term: "to spelunk".

I pay no attention to post count. I rarely pay attention to how rank I am, either.





Take that any way you want....  ::)

I have 9200 posts? Last time I looked at it, it was in the 7000's. I wonder how long until I hit the nice big number?  :D

I'm ok with that. I don't mind losing the posts more than losing all the threads full of info we would lose.

So this is the safest place to post multiple times just so you can increase your rank?  I've already been censured once for replying to multiple posters in different posts (in the order I read them as I catch up), rather than multi-quoting in one response (which I don't know how to do).  Guess I HAVE to come to the bottom to find that.   ::)

I agree with Stormlion, although I'd be glad to make YangJanshi a sang-wei if I knew what it was... some of us do not speak Mandarin.

... rather than multi-quoting in one response (which I don't know how to do)....
It is simple. When you have hit the "reply" button, the text field appears. On this screen simply scroll down and you will see the last couple of posts. To the right of each is a "insert quote" button. It does just that.
If you want to quote some reply which is further back in the thread you really have to open a second Tab in your browser and find it.

You can also modify quotes like I did with yours, but make sure to make it obvious what you edited.

I never bothered to learn your outlandish capellan ranks. And I always get grumpy if capellan fans speak/write to each other and use them in a way that implies you -should- know their weird rank names. Don´t let HigakeMaru fool you. They do it on purpose. The Capellans ARE evil.  ^-^

They are elementary to the feeling of superiority I feel entitled to. That is a valid concern. ... ... ...

An offering of rabbit meat is not enough to sway me. No silly Cappy rank for you! And for the puppy eyes, off to the capellan re education camps to learn a more stoic mindset.

As a precentor in Comstar and a former member of the Liao planetary HPG staff, I find the idea that the Cappellans are being forced to eat rabbits and then being shipped off to a reeducation camp appalling.   >:(  Prepare for interdiction! >:D

Excellent! Nothing endangers stoicism like a lack of communication!  :)

Now to take off and eat some dead pig or more preferably barely dead cow that's still mooing as I cut pieces of steak from its raw hide.  [drool]

Oh, I shall ignore the Blakeism's for now. When I am done my food off to re education with you as well for deprogramming.
