HexMachina Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 End the tyranny! Down with Roman numerals! A new day has dawned, a new empire, one which will crush these silly old traditions with a brutal iron fist. Down with the monarchy, down with the Roman numerals. Our day has come!

I liked that it had completely different lines for each verse, rather than repeating up to twelve times. How about something for the Trekkies? Loved it!

Jen'ari Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 You know one good thing about winter and it being cold and dark- I've got this warm black winter duffle coat which I've worn over my work/office clothes the last few days on my way to/from work, anyway it has this huge overhanging hood on it, the moral of the story is, winter allows you to express your true self in your clothing choices-if your true self is a megalomaniacal Sith that is .

Buckwheat Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I agree with the topic though, Latin numbers make s much more sense. Did I mention we have snow over here in the New Buckkeep? It is so pretty, is snowed on Monday evening and half of yesterday and it is cold enough (really cold!) that some of it stuck. Sadly I get reports that there is none at Old Buckkeep.

Explanation: There are 20 posts to a page, 20 x 50 = 1000, which makes the last post on page 50 number 1000. Right now, it says that this thread has "11 replies" on the page with the topic list. But this page says "12 posts in this topic", which means that the page with the topic list does not count the OP, but only the replies to it. TTTNE races counts all posts, with the OP included.

Should not be, the spamsmoot should only start in the thread in January ... but I have no clue when this one will be even over.

RhaenysBee Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Didn't we establish a rule after the post count was lost in the board make-over that the 1st post on the 51st page is the winner of a race? And didn't this idea originally come from Lany and wasn't it even practiced for the next couple rounds? And wasn't there some confusion later if it was the last on page 50 or the first on page 51? And wasn't the whole point is to spare us having to do the maths about which is actually the exact 1000th post? Did I dream all this? Not that it matters really, but we should either establish and follow one rule or not make it count, shouldn't we? There was snow here too. About 1-2mm but still snow.

The BlackBear Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 This counting system is much like the electoral college. What I'm saying is I won the popular vote and H has tiny hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
