Buckwheat Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Snacks are always good. Imaginary even better than real ones, they cannot make you fat. Oh, the spamsmoot, I totally forgot about that thing. Can we just call it finished at the end of January since nobody seems interested to participate, and declare 2018 the year of anarchy, in hope the spam flow might improve at some unknown point in the future? We need @Zar Lannister to work his magic charms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jez Bell Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 What's a spamsmoot? Is that the place I can dump my daily gripes and random thoughts that most people would judge me for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you have come to the right place. This thread is for random chatter (it has been described as a very slow chatroom) and it is allowed to go for 1000 posts, and then whoever makes the 1000th post here starts a new thread. Each thread is titled TTTNE [number]: . There was a time where we used to change our avatars according to the current topics, but we gave that up at some point. Probably there is more information about it in the Games Info thread. 21 minutes ago, Jez Bell said: 14 minutes ago, Jez Bell said: What's a spamsmoot? It is a "ritual" that is done every first thread in January. You see, this thread has its own rulers (it is a bit more indepentent of the the forum moderators than the rest of the forum) and a court. The rulers are voted on by all the participants (those who choose to) in January and rule for a year. Which basically mean they remind people if somebody steps over the line of good behaviour (has not happened in a long time) and after the moot, they give honourable titles to whoever wants them to have fun with. If you see somebody with "spamperial [long complicated title]" or "of the spam court" in their signature or member title, these were their courtly titles at some point. Only this year, nobody seems to be interested in running and/or voting, soooo ... I think that even last year we didn't have titles, did we? Anyone remembers?

Buckwheat Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 My last post looks weird for some reason. Anyway, the last few ruling spammers (as far back as I can remember) were: 2012: The three witches: Lany Cassandra, aaaand ... two other posters. Don't remember, that was a bit before I joined the thread. 2013: The Lion and CROW court: Zar Lannister and ICE CROW (:crying: I miss the crow. HAR HAR HAR) 2014: The Court of Rock'n'roll: the maid of woodlynne and King_Tyrion_I 2015: The Court of Blossoming Boglands: Buckwheat and The CrannogDweller. (See link in my signature - picture by Turinqui-Calima. ) 2016: Pebble and First Of My Name - Maybe that is wrong. Correct me, if you remember better. 2017: some weird scenario where First Of My Name and Lord Sidious seized power by staging a coup and called themselves imperial emperors Ah, spamperial memories ... Also, damn, I've been here for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HexMachina Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 19 hours ago, Lady Olenna said: Oh I’ve seen the Bean holiday movie. Though I could certainly stand to watch it again. I did not get into Faulty Towers, which is odd since I watched all the other shows. They used to air on PBS which is the public broadcasting station, so they may not have run it. Somehow I missed Dr. Who, too. Black Adder I loved as well but not as much as Bean. I did just discover Rita on Netflix and am seriously enjoying it. How did I miss this one? Nobody has heard of it but it’s great. There are some parts that got me a little bit teary but I’m going to blame that on these pregnancy hormones I’m pretty sure these hormones have taken over my tv taste. I’ve been watching stuff I would normally skip right on by (I.e. “girly” stuff). Oh no, not Mr Bean’s Holiday. Honestly that one kind of sucks. I believe this one is just called Bean...he goes to America as part of his career with an art gallery (“I sit in the corner, and look at the paintings.” - yes, he speaks) He stops with an American Family for the duration, does some stuff related to the unveiling of the new painting...hijinks ensue. Good times! It’s an older film than Mr. Bean’s holiday. Totally it’s more similar to the series. shame on Fawlty Towers. Blackadder is always quality. I personally hate Dr. Who though *shrug* *ducks rotten veg from @felice* You would probably like Victoria Wood (Rip ) she did a sketch show called Victoria Wood, As Seen on TV. Also a series called dinnerladies, and stand up too. Wonderful woman. i have never heard of Rita before. What kind of show is it and who is in it? Also blame hormones for everything, it’s a perk of pregnancy damnit! Craving chocolate? Baby wants it? Feeling irritable? Baby is cranky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
