and I moved across the country recently, so I missed it. We want to play a board game with each other online, something like Catan or Ticket to Ride, but we don't know any websites that could host such things, since we own the board games and we've never had to play over the internet before. We considered just both setting up the boards in our own homes and just playing over Skype, but since any board games of the same base we both have are different versions (i.e., she has MLP Monopoly and my husband has Zelda Monopoly, they have Catan Classic and I have Star Trek Catan) we feel like it would be too complicated to try and translate the two versions to each other while also moving the other's piece on the board and keeping track of resources and junk. So do any of you guys know of websites that legally allow people to play board games over the internet in real time? If you do, that'd be very helpful. :)
And still obsessing over those old Mafia games that were running awhile back. XD Like, seriously, I have no idea why, but those games consumed me and haunt me to this day. XD I get super passionate about them at times, and OH MY GOSH, MY HUSBAND'S CAT IS JUST WALKING AROUND WITH A TOY MOUSE IN HER MOUTH AND IT'S SO CUTE! *ahem* Sorry. I get super passionate about them at times, and sit and obsessively think about what I should have said here and what I should have done there, and if I had only lied about my special role in that one post, that one sentence, the entire balance of power would have swung to my side, and we might have won, and it was so fun, and yada-yada-yada. XD A couple of times over the past several months, people have caught me just sitting there thoughtfully, and then when they ask what I'm thinking about they get a twenty-minute explanation of how much fun I had with the game and whatever particular instance I'm thinking about. XD I just wanted to update that, because I was just sitting here in the dark and my husband asked what I was thinking about, and there it was. XD Mafia. ...If I had just said "Not" instead of "Now." One letter. If I had just changed one letter, we might have won. I think it's good for me that those games aren't still on. XD
And someone orders "Cheese." And you look down at your five kinds of cheese and ask "Which kind? Feta, provolone, cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack?" And they say "Uh, the white cheese." And you ask "Feta, provolone, mozzarella, or pepper jack?" And they say "The, uh, shredded." And you ask "Mozzarella or pepper jack?" And they point at the glass and say "That one." ...Why!? Is it really that hard to say the names of what you're asking for? I don't understand. XD
But the thing is, see, I have to like, wash all of the dishes I own, and like, I'm moving in ten days and haven't packed a single box, so... I should get up and get going, but I don't want to stop being lazy. Help me out, KHV. Give me something to talk about. So I can have an excuse to not work. XD
Alright, we used to have a lot of fun with these, so let's try to give it another go. There has to be a bit of structure, of course, or it will be confusing as all get out, and nobody will know who's giving the dares and who's asking for them. So, when offering a Truth or Dare, it's pretty straightforward: Just say 'Truth or Dare?' or even 'ToD?' or pretty much any variation thereupon. If you offer a Truth or Dare, you must follow through on giving one to the first responder. When taking someone's Truth or Dare, Quote the post of the darer, asking for your truth or dare. After they've responded and you complete your truth or dare, you must offer a truth or dare to whoever wants one next. That way, the game can keep going, and everyone gets a chance to play, instead of one person constantly giving out truths and dares and not getting an opportunity to take a truth or dare themselves. If more than one person quotes a post asking for a truth or dare, Only the first responder can be guaranteed a ToD. If the darer decides to give all responders a truth or dare, they're certainly welcome to, but if not, it's first come first serve. As for the content of the truths or dares, No asking for personal information, no asking for inappropriate photos/videos, no purposefully asking for someone to say/do something you know is a sensitive subject for them just to be a jerk. This is just for fun; if someone asks for a truth and you know just what to ask to make them mad, don't. You can go for embarrassing, humiliating, frustrating, pretty much anything, but please, don't stir up trouble and start fights. Likewise, be a good sport. This is meant to be an embarrassing, humiliating, frustrating past-time. Know what you're getting into before you request a ToD; if you can't handle the shame, don't ask for it. And if somebody does give you a ToD that strikes a nerve, you can politely state that you'd like them to give you a new one, but that's their prerogative, please don't turn it into an attack. Good excuses for refusing a ToD: It goes against your religious beliefs. It goes too far, in your opinion, and crosses the line between harmless fun and inappropriate content. It is physically impossible for you to accomplish. (i.e., you're dared to post a video of yourself performing a song, and you actually don't have even a web-cam, and have no way to do so.) Bad excuses for refusing a ToD: You don't like the ToD. (It doesn't matter whether or not you like it, you must perform it.) It's more embarrassing than you expected it to be. (Don't want to embarrassed? Don't play this game.) Wow, I am long-winded. I totes did not mean to post such a stinkin' long rules thread. XD Anyway, I'll get us started off by offering not one, not two, but THREE ToD's to whoever responds to them. #1 Truth or dare? #2 Truth or dare? #3 Truth or dare?
I'm back, everybody! Came to check in for a couple days, see how things were going. A lot of friends are no longer here, but a lot of friends remain, and the more I see of the site now, the more I find myself happy to see it again. So, I'm staying. Some of my space pirates already know this, but this thread is for anyone else. :) Ahhhh... It's good to be back. :)
Decided it would be a little of both. After my last disappearing act, it's only fair for me to stop by and say hello to everyone. Even though I've been busy, this place still has and always will have a special place in my heart, as the place where I met some of my best friends during my teenage angst years when "irl" meant my not-really-real life. But unfortunately, this is not a real return. I still have two jobs, I still have volunteer work that consists of enough work to say a third job, and although I'm not currently taking anymore classes for awhile, I'm still really busy with some really important news. A little less than two weeks ago, my boyfriend proposed. I said yes. Now we're doing as much planning as we can while we're together; it's a long distance relationship. We only have a few more days together before he has to leave again, so I've been pretty busy all week. And we're gonna have a fairly short engagement, so I'll be stretched pretty thin over the next few months with planning everything. For those that want details or want to make sure he's right for me, I'll tell you a bit about his general geekiness. First off, he's a Brony, so I'll get that out of the way. He was the one who made me sit down and watch Doctor Who for the first time, and recently even bought me weeping Angel earrings. He's a huge fan of the Zelda games and has a giant triforce tattoo and plans to get more. In fact, I bought him a Zelda engagement ring. He introduced me to Dungeons and Dragons, which I loved, and Magic the Gathering, and Munchkin, which I also loved. He enjoys Kingdom Hearts, but never really got into it as much as I did, but he fully supports my love of it and for Christmas, bought me a full sized keyblade, using the money he'd been saving for a Zelda Master Sword, I think he called it. Oh, and last Halloween he dressed up as Soos in disguise as "Not-Soos" from Gravity Falls. I think that small glimpse into his geekiness should satisfy everybody that he's a decent match, but I can't prove how great the match really is without giving tmi. XD But anyway, It'll be a good long time before I'm back, so this is a ttfn, ta-ta for now. (btw, he also loves Winnie The Pooh because nostalgia) I will eventually return, because I can't leave this place for good, but for now, this is goodbye. I'll talk to you all later. :)
My boyfriend got me a keyblade for Christmas. it just came in the mail today and it is so cool! :D just thought I'd pop online to brag about it. oh yeah, my sis also got KH3D for Christmas, and she's letting me have a level so I'm finally playing that one, making BBS the only one I've never played. xD so yup. finally catching up. XD
BUT GUYZ I GOTS IT FIGURED OUT! WHAT'S ELEVEN TIMES TWO!? AND WHAT'S TEN PLUS FIVE!? AND WHAT'S TEN PLUS ELEVEN!? Yeah, okay, I get it. Enough Doctor Who cracks. Yeah, these jokes are probs all really old but whatevs. XD
Because you post birthday threads for everybody else so I thought I'd return the favor! @Bo
"Cocoa Puffs turns EVERYTHING chocolatey. Even the milk!" Um, what?! The milk is the ONLY thing that "turns chocolatey." What on earth are you talking about when you say "everything," if you have to mention the milk as an addendum? The bowl? The spoon? My tongue? If so, I could sue for false advertising. Not that I would, but I could. Everything? Please.
"So I got new internet the other day. The old one was messing up. I mean, I'm used to ads, but I kept getting pop-ups telling me my computer was at a high risk...? So I got the new kind and what's the first thing that pops up? Another thing telling my my computer is at a high risk. Some Norton virus checking stuff out." Is it wrong that I didn't say anything? XD
With all the unrest and uneasiness going on these days, End-of-the-World talk is everywhere, from zombie apocalypse theories to teachings of a more spiritual nature. Which kinda got me thinking. The Bible teaches that throughout history and for the majority of the future, humankind has been and will be genuinely deceived and misled in regards to the existence, teachings, and intentions of God. But in the very VERY last days, it will eventually become so blatantly obvious that denying God's existence won't be a thing anymore. (quick note before you go on: this isn't a which-is-right thread. My question actually won't have anything to do with whether or not such a thing will happen.) The Bible teaches that during this time, there will be two kinds of people. The first will be those that Spoiler: accept and repent. These people are the kind who, once it has become proven that God is real and what he says is true, accept his message and repent from their old ways. These people, according to the Bible, will usually be killed by the other kind of people. If they manage to survive to the next harvest period, they will be caught up in the next rapture. The second will be those that Spoiler: deny and fight These people are the kind who, even though they know that God exists, have become so bitter and full of hate towards him that they kill all those who have turned to him, and, once the final rapture has happened and all who will turn to God have been killed or raptured, everyone who is left will amass together to form an army and try to wage war against God. (Spoiler tags for a little additional reading, if you're into additional reading. XD) So I've been wondering. If, during the last days, it became known that there was indeed a higher power, some omniscient omnipotent omnipresent entity of any kind, be it God or Allah or anyone... What would my response be? What would be the responses of the people around me? If there was a god... would I find myself repenting for the mistakes I made in life (especially if it turned out I was wrong about it being mine XD) and turning to this god, or would I look at the world around me and see so much hurt, pain, and hate, and blame this god for what I see? Would I be of the number that would refuse to turn? Would I find myself a part of this last desperate crusade against an unbeatable entity I would have no hope of even standing against? So in this thread, I'm not asking for theories about whether there is some entity, or if so, which one is most likely to be real, AND IF REAL, which interpretation of this entity's words and actions is most likely to be correct. I'm asking which group do you all think you would be a part of in this end-of-the-world scenario. Do you think you would turn? Or do you think you would fight?
So I was just thinking how adorable it would be to see a Sherlock themed Paffendorf. With like, John standing by while Sherlock dances. And like, Lestrade could be a part of it. And maybe Moriarty. Oh, and Mycroft! Just saying such a thing would be adorable. Not posting this in the artsy section because technically I'm not making it a request. I was just saying I would watch it.
Watching the Midnight episode of Doctor Who. I figure he conjured fake "annoying" parents so nobody wonders that such a young guy is travelling alone. Or he altered their memories so they think he's theirs. And why he also seemed less afraid than most, joking in the face of fear and having to be told to back away from Sky. This also explains how he's one of the smarter people on the bus, and how he was the one who noticed the important things while everyone else was freaking out. And he was the one who (even though they were wrong about his guilt) was right in the points he noticed. Can't find a GIF, but he said "You called us humans. As if you're not one of us." And why he had to be prodded to finally, tearfully, help them get rid of the threat. I think I've been playing Mafia too much. XD
She doesn't cuss. None of us do, we just weren't brought up cussing. *shrugs* whatevs. But she has a creative alternative. She swears by Captain America, and the Norns. She cut her finger opening a can today, and she let out a gasp, held her hand tightly, and yelled out "CAP! Oh, Nornheim!" I've heard her say "Valhalla!" Before, and she has let loose with "OH MY CAPTAIN STINKIN' AMERICA!" on several occasions. She doesn't always say "Nornheim," She'll sometimes get angry and say "Norns, ____!" followed by whatever object she's yelling at. Funny story, her 3DS is named Zeus (we all name our electronics) and she was playing a game when it's battery ran out. Next thing we hear: "Norns, Zeus!" Then she blinked, and laughed because of the mixed mythology. But still. Creative, right?
She's starting to show an interest in writing. So she needs a little advice every now and again. Sis: "I need a cool name for a director." Me: "Fury." Sis: *rolls eyes* "Something else." Me: "Brown. As in Charlie Brown. YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO YOUR DIRECTOR!!!" Sis: "Not that kind of director. A director like Fury, but not that name." Me: "Vance. Shepherd." Sis: "I need a serious name." Me: "Black." Geddit? Sirius Black? No? Not working for ya? Hmm. Sis: *laughs and shakes her head. Stops asking me* Other sister comes into the room. Sis 1: "Hey, I need a name for a director." Sis 2: "Fury. Vance. Shepherd." XD
My life is like a Charlie the Unicorn video. Just putting that out there.
