Shireroth

Let me just say that technically Scott is right. I was informed of the first time. ONCE. And that wasnt even when I was Kaiser, thus my opinion wouldnt have mattered anyway. I ascended to the throne and was still not told. So I assumed the matter dead and I forgot about it. Perhaps that was a mistake. Anything else you're working on Scott? At any rate, Thomas is partially correct. I proly would have dealt with this much differently had I been told of this ahead of time. But that falls into the "what if" catagory, and we all know 'what ifs' never come to a viable solution because its the past.So lets deal in the facts of the present.1) I want nothing to do with SPEAR, but that could change if enough citizens gripe at me. After all, I have heard they are an honourable people.2) I want nothing to do with the GC, but that could change if enough citizens gripe at me. After all, I have heard they are an honourable people.

lol... i understand you want to stay neutral to both the parties in this case.... but why you mention SPEAR before GC Discover, Invent, Theories, Experiment,Advance Science,Advance Extremism,(in Karnali, Republic of)

SOMEONE had to go first. *shrugs*Want me to make a second version of the post to make it seem like I favor your side? :P

Bill: I don't expect the arguments to go away when I picket a thread. I do so merely to show the absurdity in the levels of rhetoric. Hell, I don't even do it for that logical a reason. I like picketing, and it doesn't matter if there's any effect whatsoever.*pickets*IT DOESN'T MATTER! JOIN ME IN MY CAUSE FOR...um...PICKETING!!!!!!! *throws grenade for the hell of it*BO0O0O0O0/\/\!!!!!!

Hand me a sign, Hypatia. I'll picket from my chair!

I'll picket from my throne...actually, i'll make Shyriath do it for me.

Behold, Sire, I am your lackey!*Takes up a picket sign* In the name of the Kaiser, down with the anti-picketers!

Psst. *whispers*No no, we're picketing the picketers for picketing on the property!

Oh. Okay, so I shouldn't be picketing the anti-picketers, I should be anti-picketing the picketers? Or... no, wait...*Undergoes picket/anti-picket mutual annihilation, exploding in a burst of gamma rays*

Let's just have a picnic. Harvey SteffkeSai'Kar's Memories LiveJournal - ranting about Shirerothian issues since fall 2004.

This thread has taken a very dark turn... *shudders*

Warvoid, I thank thee. That is EXACTLY the image I was getting at, naturally.*hands over a pile of free signs* *throws grenade for the hell of it*BO0O0O0O0/\/\!!!!!!

I have half an urge to nag you to make that your avatar.

The text would never hold up. However, if someone who has photoshop *looks at Joe* would be interested in making tha into an avatar of some sort while maintaining the text joke, I might be willing to do something with it. I'd have to see the finished product, though. *throws grenade for the hell of it*BO0O0O0O0/\/\!!!!!!

Hmmm, increasing the colour depth and then shrinking it usually keeps the text readable. But shrnking it down to 60x60 makes it legible only to those of us who know the joke.See; Useless art is simply tolerated vandalism. I am a vandal.

Could you try maybe 80x80 and 100x100 (since you have the original on your computer)? *throws grenade for the hell of it*BO0O0O0O0/\/\!!!!!!

Beautiful. *throws grenade for the hell of it*BO0O0O0O0/\/\!!!!!!

Oh indeed. Very nicely done. Especially the zoom-in on the picket. Useless art is simply tolerated vandalism. I am a vandal.

I could make a much higher filesize one with smoother transitions, but I'm lazy and lame.Plus, I think ImageReady can do that automatically and despite it probably taking 5 hours to learn it, once I know how it would take like three seconds at a time rather than the four hours I'd spend resizing selection boxes, rendering, copy/pasting into GIMP, and optimizing for GIF animation.La.
