Shireroth

I see the use of the same forum style on http://bastionunion.org/forum as here has succesfully... done... something

It isn't, really. It's just open for questions for people like Aster

At least Chanology was fun and involved going out and talking with people

I think Aryeztur's idea of bringing back the name of Goldenbrook for the Eastern Benacian duchy was a pretty good one.

How do you feel about it?

.. tai säkällä pikkasen aiemminkin!

The fact that the main board is the theme of member nation is bothering me... greatly. That would be caused by my unconscionable laziness. I originally intended to make Nelaga's theme the interim common theme, being that Nelaga's the smallest of the joining nations and I couldn't be bothered to ins...

By the way, you can blame Icebreaker for me posting this thread. Usually I'd just go "icebreaker: RATE THIS" about something like this, but he was offline tonight

Stepmania. Almost the same thing, but cheaper.

Well, that was vaguely unpleasant. Not so unpleasant I couldn't do it again, but certainly distracting. I'm probably going to just do this on Sundays from now on and spend most of the day exercising and playing video games. Not to say I didn't get any work done, but the work that I did get done was ...

More physics, though this stuff is very classical and as far as I know not really all that impressive a trick anyway: http://vimeo.com/2952236

... it's still sort of awesome.

My favourite thing: Start with the infinite well and ground state. Move the position to the side (set the mouse action to "translate function" and click and drag the graph in the middle). What you'll get is a pattern where all the higher frequencies periodically cancel out and you'll get a very smoo...

It was? Because as far as I can tell you have access there now, and I don't see anything in the admin log relating to your permissions being taken away at any point...

Starving? Come on, it's barely going through the glycogen reserve :p (Mind you, Harvey's note might be much more important. I.e. I'm not concerned about biochemical problems - seriously, the human body is perfectly equipped for this - but if it turns out that I'm hungry and distracted all day, unlik...

I've already got the "eating healthy food" bit in place. I've got this plate next to me right now with soup that's made of potato, cabbage and a bunch of other vegetables. The remaining problem is simply that I like even this sort of food too much :). From what I've read, a day's fasting isn't going...

Imagine coming in as a new citizen.. a) you've got the main boards to introduce yourself to, B) then you're told to pick a nation.. and you know how hard it is to pick out of areas within /one/ nation and get fully involved in it.. let alone having to choose your nationality.. /and/ yoursub-board r...

I like Kildare/Machinaria/Yardistan. It's got stuff that actually stayed alive, stuff that is uniquely Shirithian, and stuff that personally interests me and feels fresh . Where would Hyperborea go though?

HEY I HAVE AN IDEA, CAN YOU QUIT BEING AS GOONISH AS POSSIBLE FOR JUST LIKE, A DAY?

Being that being goonish is apparently defined as being ari, well, I'll happily do it as soon as you quit being as douchebagish as possible for a day

125 kg. But you don't have a secret untapped source of self-confidence and charisma as your dick isn't half-embedded inside a bulge of fat

So I've pretty much completely given up on the idea of regulating my food- and exercise-related behaviour by willpower. But that's OK since I've been taking notes about myself. It turns out that: - I used to drink prodigious amounts of apple juice, as in easily a liter a day, sometimes more. Then I ...

Man, I've hacked on this board over the years more than I remembered. Will continue tomorrow.

Actually, I don't remember if it was me who changed it or someone else, but right now you don't get access to post there merely for being a registered user. A bunch of people do have access through being in the Malarbaristas group, though. I gave all registered users access to post replies but not n...

Just giving you the understandable reference you asked for, sir.

Speaking of throwing people out of secret forums, I deliberately didn't lock Vasroe out of the SEP when he emigrated. I wouldn't want him to be in a situation where he can't amuse us by bargaining with or even just publicly revealing the contents of that forum, after all. He is, indeed, in possessio...

It was Scott who wrote that Malarbox post. He could joke about something that happened in 1999. Old news is going to come up in Shireroth, over and over again. But if you can learn from the past, you can deal with it. edit: ... you know, it was obvious enough from the last post that you were going t...

Hey! Hey!!! You're not the one being assed here, man. The joke is about how I said you should learn to be less paranoid when I was revealing a conspiracy against you. That you are still paranoid was just a sort of... assumed background knowledge. If anyone should be clamouring for a retraction it's ...

Well, if something so incredibly urgent happens that has to be dealt at the Imperial Level before later when Corey is more sober... handling it will be a challenge testing the resiliency and adaptability of the Shirithian people?
