  1. Whelp, now we know that Recoil hasn't read the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. That was the Ultimate Question to Life, the Universe and Everything. The correct answer to which we all know, is 42.
  2. I'm glad our moderators are attentive to these things, seeing as users simply seem only attentive to our moderators. Or just their avatars. Or just Alyxx's.

    Did You Know...

    Did you know that there's salt in human tears? Did you know that there's sugar in unicorn tears? Did you know that there's tobasco sauce in rainbow tears?
  4. What do you get when you multiply six by nine?
  5. Roam very subtlly smiled to himself. "We'll need to work together if we want to get anywhere. Convoy comm, see to it that all the other Captains are informed of what happened now in a message, and then see to it we all form up." Several of the engineers nodded in assent.
  6. Things that aren't part of the Bible aren't in there because their importance, relevance or accuracy has been questioned. And it's not like The Bible is one iron text, Bibliocanonics is one of the more deep and well-argued Theological things in Christianity and it's been an on-going process ever since the Apostle Peter was alive. (Personally it greatly irked me that you stated those things about Satan earlier as fact when you quoted documents of debated canon accuracy, as fact. They would be of debated accuracy pertaining to Christianity if they were not in the Bible.) In regards to calling Jesus's parable a fail: 13:24-30 Weeds (plural of Greek zizanion, only read here in the New Testament) are probably darnel, a weedy rye grass with poisonous black seeds, which resembles wheat in its early growth but is easily distinguished from it at maturity. Any attempt to gather the weeds would only endanger the wheat, because the roots of the weeds would be intertwined with those of the wheat. Let both grow together (v. 30). God allows both believers and unbelievers to live in the world until the day of judgement; see note on v. 38. 2008 Crossways English Standard Version Study Bible, p.1848. God created good with the capacity for evil because it is not true free will if we do not have the ability to choose between right and wrong. (Do tell what kind of free will it would be if we had only the capacity for one and not both) However the Serpent showed us how we could choose evil (since we had the capacity but had not learned that we could choose, hence the name "The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil" as described in Genesis). Once we were made conscious of evil, then everything went sideways.

  8. Pretty interesting. I like how it speaks no ill or good of battle, just how one should think about victory and defeat. Good prize. *Ding*
  9. "Stand down." Commanded Roam. "The Captain of the Invisible had stolen intelligence that would have compromised the expedition. If he made off with it he might have gathered his own to try and beat us to Iyliss. I don't know about you, but I already think it's going to be hard enough to get there by ourselves. We don't want to be igniting competition from the get-go." explained Roam. "Should we arm to counter?" suggested one of the weapons engineers. "No." said the Commodore. "Let him decide for himself."
  10. I'm actually quite curious what Rainbow Dash's parents look like. We've seen Twilight's, Rarity's, Pinkie Pie's and photograph of Applejack's.
  11. 8JSXxG4Xt0k Professional rogue physicist ROBERT HOMBRE demonstrates how skateboarding conserves inertia.
  12. I love my jorb being a Heavy.
  13. The idea that humanity could be uploaded to a massive connected network is logistically insurmountable. It would be easier for all of humanity to live in one giant inflatable bouncy castle. That's my inner engineer talking. That dismissal ignores the physiological and possibly spiritual ramifications of civilization only needing brains and having no need for bodies.
  14. But the claims of the Bible cannot be objectively observed. For the individual who wishes to objectively discern the bible, eternal life is at stake if it's true. Trying to read the Bible objectively is a conflict of interest.
  15. Touche One may then ask "Why?" The Christian answers: [Jesus] put another parable before them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field, but while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away. So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared also. And the servants of the master of the house came and said to him, 'Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have weeds?' He said to them, 'An enemy has done this.' So the servants said to him, 'Then do you want us to go and gather them?' But he said, 'No, lest in gathering the weeds you root up the wheat along with them. Let both grow together until the harvest, and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn." The Gospel of Matthew 13:24-30, ESV Where the grain is symbolic of the actions of those that believe in Christ that are good (because the bad actions of those that believe in Christ are 'but chaff', and thrown away), and the weeds are symbolic of the actions and behaviors of those that have heard the Word of Christ and did not believe. The Sower is God, the servants presumably are angels, "The Enemy" is the sin nature, and/or where-ever/whatever Sin came from.
  16. I think that's how I managed to discover the wonder of Back to the Future.
  17. I just wrote Psychotic Ninja out of the Hunter's Galaxy Role Play. It makes me IRL feel like a bad game master that a player left, despite the fact that he left simply because I wrote the game as a generative novel RPG and not as a action/dialogue chat RPG. A detail of the game, not because the game was bad.
  18. Roam stood, grabbing his coat with one motion and heading towards the door. "Gentlemen, I'm sure you'll all show yourselves out. It will be a pleasure working you." He took one last cursory look at all of the Captains present, adding their faces to his memory one last time. "Four, five, six..-" he thought to himself. "There were eight when we begun the meeting, and that one that cantered out I don't think I'll be forgetting soon. But where is that...! Ninja." Argyle came running up to Roam from his study, quite obviously frantic. The professor seemed to try and grab Roam by the sleeves of his arms but seemed to run off to one side grabbing only air and almost falling forwards, his glasses firmly fixed on his forehead. The miss of the gesture soured his face further in indignation. "Someone has stolen a copy of my starguilding documents! Whoever has it must be planning to steal away to Iyliss by themselves." Roam's face, which had already changed from his thievish guile to a strict tonality, began at an incredible pace towards the bridge. "One of the Captains we had here was a rogue. It was probably the ninja; I'll see this through." Elsewhere, the Ninja, Captain of the Invisible had stolen away back aboard his own ship, departing with the intention of activating his own Interstellar Drive with the stolen copy of the Iyliss coordinates. "All I'll ever need." The Invisible drifted away from the convoy in silence, charging its stealth node. "Valiant to Invisible, return to dock immediately." said a com-link, with an imperative stress to it. "Ignore them. Get us out of here." said the Ninja. "Silence that radio." "PHY-032 Invisible, revert course now or we will ope-*[][ cut out the radio. "No! You can't just shoot him!" protested Argyle. "He's compromised the Expedition by stealing that data, and if he has it, anyone may as well have it. It will be hard enough to reach Iyliss by ourselves, I don't want to have to compete with anyone to get there first. If he refuses to yield, we have no choice." "But-" "Captain, the Invisible has cut off the signal." said one of the engineers. "Fire." Before the Professor could say or do anything, four soft thuds resonated through the hull of the Valiant as the heavy cannons fired a fusilade of shells towards the escaping frigate. The shells tore into the Invisible, reaming the engines into different directions just as it begun to fire the Interstellar Drive, rending the ship into several different chunks flying apart from each other at high speed. Argyle stood, looking at the display screen at what had just happened, barely believing his eyes.... "I know what you're thinking" said Roam, speaking into the silence. "..and you're wrong. No it's not your fault. He stole at his own peril, and its his fault now." The utter brutality of the situation came as a shock to Argyle. Roam spoke truthfully; Edward could blame himself for having started the expedition and enticing these people with promises of money, and because he offered that now at least one man was dead. But that wasn't a reasonable conclusion. Edward realized that Roam had said accurately by saying that the Captain of the Invisible took the risk upon himself to escape, but not without consequence. Argyle continued to say nothing. "Maybe you should return to your stateroom, Professor." said Roam courteously. Richard realized how protected a life Argyle must have lead, being so academic in richer worlds. The Professor continued to say nothing, looking somewhat blankly on the verge between despair and anger. But he turned and walked away off the bridge. As he walked down the main corridor, he clasped his hands together and started speaking to himself quietly. Roam simply watched the debris drift for a moment. His face was stoic but it bore a quiet sullen inflection, in sadness of having to destroy another life, once again. He recollected himself.
  19. I need to learn how to maintain my beard.
  20. Roam simply looked to the side with a raised eyebrow.
  21. Roam shot a look at Captain Sinclair. "If you're referring to anyone's intention of simply kidnapping Argyle so that you could extort from him the exact location of the Carbunkle, firstly "Good luck" with getting through all the territories" said Roam sarcastically "second, we stand a better chance of making it working as a team, and third, the whole shpeil of mine is still a work in progress, since it's still a hunch of mine that he's lying about the expedition thing; I don't know for certain. If he's telling the truth about the study stuff then we're all better off just doing what we all agreed to for the job in the first place. If he's lying then it's better to worry about some kind of heist when we're closer to the planet than we are now. And if you're thinking I'd pull a fast one on all of you once we're actually there, think about how stupid that sounds. Either I try to make off with it when I'm outnumbered and outgunned in hostile territory, or we go all together and make it back, all of us rich and famous as the first people to have ever reached Iyliss and lived to tell the tale in over a hundred years."
  22. Feel free girls. (Ladieeeeess) However no one can guarantee any level of success in beard growth, or increase of awareness of prostate cancer.
  23. Unless he permits the corruption to exist.
  24. Ah.
  25. "Got any food? I'm starving." "After the brief, ask the hall monitor console for the cafeteria. A guide line will show up on the floor that will take you right there. Anyone else?"
