Stasisesque

It's usually:

"*indecipherable crackling* -eet *bzzzt crackle crackle* step."

Otherwise, I have no idea - but your version looks good enough .

I was just excited . It's called "A Black Affair" which is so incredibly awesome, that the entire book can suck - and I can get away with it.

My novel's title just came to me! *bounce* Now it doesn't look like just another blob of writing.

My profile.
Weasel's profile.

For quick linkage!

View Profile at the top of your page, and you should see your buddies listed underneath your word count - click a buddy, and steal...er...read their information/excerpts .

Just randomly flicking through the author profiles, in a vain attempt at procrastination - and found one person has already written 12,000 words. To keep the green eyed monster at bay, I've decided said person is actually writing a satirical dictionary.

Now. Muse? Muse? Stop eating all my chocolate!

I'm pretending I live in New Zealand, so I've already started writing.

So far, I've got: "WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY 50,000 words in 30 days is impossible! Why did you let me get myself into this, brain?! And just what exactly am I supposed to make out of all these sites you've bookmarked. I don't know anything about the Boer war!!!!!"

I'm getting there.

Good of you . Hopefully, though, Bridger will be along soon with his bar of Vanish and we can get back to normal.

Or have a Monopoly tournament!

Does anyone have any idea when, and by whom, ocular prosthetics were invented?

[/ QUOTE ]

They've been around in various shapes and forms for a fair bit AFAIK..
Methinks they were around in victorian times! (Extra amusing "proof" )
Of course just over time they've actually got better at it and whatnot.
Not sure sadly who in particular invented prosthetic eyes ! Seems to be something small invented way back and refined over the ages.

Sorry I'm rambling! Also I have lessons in half an hour.. what am i doing?!

I HAVE TRIED TO GET AS MUCH INFORMATION ON EARLY GLASS EYES AS POSSIBLE AND THE ONLY LINK BETWEEN GLASS EYES AND BIRMINGHAM I HAVE FOUND IS THAT A MR HERBERT OLDFIELD MANUFACTURED GLASS EYES FOR THE MEDICAL PROFESSION FROM HURST AND INGE STREET, BIRMINGHAM, BETWEEN 1860 AND 1900.

[/ QUOTE ]

Off to look him up! Chiefers, you're a star .

Not really! But thank you anyway!

I'm looking for the invention of glass eyes, rather than glasses - but I can't call them glass eyes as they aren't all made of glass. History is fun to read about, but I want to throttle it when it decides it wants to ruin my story.

Hm, I can't think of anyone further back than Sammy Davis Junior who had a glass eye. Possibly if I found out who was the first noted person to have one, I'd be able to take a guess at the invention date.

If you put a disclaimer in every-other sentence, cross your heart and promise not to publish it, and sacrifice a few chickens (with guns, yup, yup.) to Stan Lee - you should be fine.

In any way, the word validation software encrypts everything you write, so no one will be able to read it at the other end anyway - and you can always edit out the possibly-naughty bits if posting some to us.

It is, very silly. As I've said, I'm neither a fully-fledged PvPer or a hardcore RPer - I enjoy both, and to find out that there are a small group of one or the other who hate the other group is mind-boggling.

I can't see why the two communities can't get along - they may be wildly different activities, but the end result is the same.

People die.

No, wait...er...

Fun.

That's the one.

As for my night being ruined, that refers to the disappointment of supposedly not getting to play along with some of the vile comments directed at PVPers.

[/ QUOTE ]

I have the entire chat-log, and no vile comments were directed at PvPers whatsoever. All were directed at RPers.

[ QUOTE ]
Doesnt make it right but what did you expect? People are hardly going to go "we love RPers, more RPers in the zones please".

[/ QUOTE ]

In the defence of many people, and my own, who followed this: I've never even been aware of the massive rift between PvPers and RPers - the closest I've come to any information on it is hearing Xanthus and Spawnus muck around on TS with their anti-RP remarks, but they're all in jest anyway. I had no idea until today that PvPers hated RPers so much.

By the way, is it the same for the opposite?

Personally, PvP and RP are thoroughly enjoyable for me, I've even mixed the two and boy, that was lots of fun.

The claim that a PvP zone would be taken over by RPers for one night only was so outlandish that none of us thought, for a second, that anyone would believe it. To be told afterwards that it was all the RPers fault, and the joke instigators, for starting it and causing an even greater rift, was jaw-dropping.

No one meant to start a fight. We were ignorant, and we're all sorry - very sorry - but we can hardly be blaimed, surely?

Honestly, some of you make me sick.

I think this bit seems aimed at the general populace. Telling everyone off, whether they were there or not isn't going to be well received.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hence the "some". He couldn't, and can't, name everyone that did take part in the vicious commenting - and mentioning it on the Arena channel would just makes things worse.

The people involved know who they are (at least, they do if they have a sense of decency), and so the comment does its job.

Bridger has been notified of this thread, though - and it's up to him and the GMs dealing with petitions, what happens next.

Quite frankly I'm apalled at some actions.

I started it with a throwaway comment over arena. Xan picked up on it because we'd been having a slight RP/PvP thread.

Now we've people demanding things, Insulting Stasis and other stuff.

Honestly, some of you make me sick.

Save it for the /AC mate, we've had none of this here...

[/ QUOTE ]Indeed.

I beg your pardon, but he's not broken any rules. He's mentioned no names, or given specific enough details to single anyone out.

People bring their ingame problems to the forums daily - if you're going to make an exception of one, make an exception of them all. Or better yet, inform one of the mods about it. But please don't single one person out and tell them they're not allowed to rant.

Well, that sure shows me not to try and have any fun again.

I've been insulted far too much over this. It's ruined my enjoyment of the game.

I'll be back at some point.

April Fools!

But seriously, it started as a joke. Someone made a throwaway comment, and we ran with it - it was meant to last for a couple of minutes at most, but it spiralled out of control.

Some of it was a bit too out of control, and a few petitions flew back and forth - but all in all it was a joke.

Apologies to any GMs who get confusing petitions about SC turning RP only.

I'm there as Stasisesque, though through my powers of AWESOME I've added most of you as buddies already .

With any luck, Joss Whedon meets Marianne Keyes...

And they have beautiful, talented babies who are locked up the BBC building for all eternity, made to write endless amounts of awe-inspiring, jaw-dropping literature?

Edit: Wow, my spelling is awful.

Yesterday, my mum and I decided to do some research into the history of the house she grew up in (via Ancestry.com), and in 1881 there were some very colourful characters living there.

And so, within seconds, my entire plot idea was scratched and I now have another.

I love it when a plan...er...plot comes together.

There have been some guys arround, who have never known a typewriter or computer and have done extremly good writing, e.g. Charles Dickens, William Shakespeare .....

Which probably explains why, between the two of them, they've added over 1,000 words to the English language.

No computer = no spellchecker.

In other words, Laurell K. Hamilton's work, IKEA assembly instructions, in Swedish AND badly written, purple prose flooded fanfiction is/are a refreshing read compared to Dan Brown's.
