Hatchling Cockatrice Mea Tulpa Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I am now thinking there will be five rounds of this altogether. The quotes in question here were all posted in 2004 or in early 2005. Many are out of character. All show irritation. Guess which member posted them? The usual caveat applies: no google, in this case, no googling PPP. 1. I'd fill this one out, but I'm too lazy and it lacks amusing questions for me to pretend to be witty with. Alorael 2. I think we can all agree that the death of an 8-year-old would be a small, small price to pay in exchange for you never being born. Thuryl 3. Throughout this discussion it strikes me that few of you, pro or contra, seem to have any idea of a woman's reality. If you had, you could not argue as you do; you are as far removed from a woman's feelings and thoughts as you can possibly be. Ef 4. If you're going to write an article, how the heck are you supposed to do it without expressing an opinion? Geez. Creator 5. Okay, he's changed it, and I'm good with it. But either a. you didn't recognize what the original was criticizing, b. you didn't pay enough attention to realize that his edit came after my post, or c. you read his original and were honestly in favor of that sort of tab-A slot-B approach to RPs. A and B are excusable if annoying, but C I'm not going to put up with. Please stop trying to score points off of me. Alec 6. In fact, when I think about how obviously superior you are, it strikes me as cruel how you've yet to do anything with that superiority except tell us about it. Maybe you're put off by the hostility here. I know I'm pretty abrasive sometimes, but I'd like to be the first one to humble myself a bit. Please, please... show us the error of our arrogant, inexperienced ways. Sarachim 7. The "whiney guy" part didn't bother me half as much as the second line. What IS the matter with these people? Don't they know that Windows users can't open .sit files? Shyguy 8. ^_- May the anime smiley fry all unprotected brains. And I was driven to do it by my biology! Saunders 9. I find that most of you have no knowledge of the historical events surrounding the birth of Christianity in the Mediterranean world. I hate waving my degree around, but I didn't learn Ancient Greek and Latin, translate 3/4 of the Gospels, and spend 3/4 of my college credits pursuing a degree in Classical history and language to be refuted by a born-again fellow who's been spoon-fed a bigotted interpretation. Drew 10. Don't be so mad at me all the time. I'm just a guy sitting in his basement. You'd like me if you met me. Spidweb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Enraged Slith Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Is 9 Kelandon? I'm just guessing because I think I was on a hiatus at this point in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast Dantius Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 IDK, but, since this is th Internet, I might as well express my unknowledgeable opinions as if anyone cared. Either 1 or 6 is ET. 4 is maybe Jeff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is also the sort of thing I would say, but I'm pretty sure I didn't say it. I'm not sure who else would, though. Alec? Quote: 3.

I'm gonna guess ef. Quote: 4. If you're going to write an article, how the heck are you supposed to do it without expressing an opinion? Geez. I hope I didn't write this one. Quote: 5.

It's gotta be Kelandon. Quote: 10. Don't be so mad at me all the time. I'm just a guy sitting in his basement. You'd like me if you met me. This is Jeff.

Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 The only one I remember is #10, which was, I believe JV. I only remember because it had something to do with Blades. Edit: Damn, sniped by half-a-minute! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Originally Posted By: Spddin Ignis is 8 artemis? No. Artemis wasn't even around yet! 1 is definitely me. I apologize for the terminal preposition. (In the event that it is not, in fact, me, I will perforce retract the apology and replace it with an apology for assuming.) 2 absolutely has to be Thuryl. No one else would phrase it that way. —Alorael, who has nothing else to contribute that hasn't already been said. He also hereby resolves to become more quotable.

Rotghroth Rhapsody Artemis~ Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Quote: is 8 artemis? I was just thinking the same thing, until I read the "'04-'05" part. I need to figure out who's flaunting anime references. ~Artemis and Anime. I love it, but the ironic thing is that I cant draw if you paid me to. I've frequently been told that I'm Asian on the inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Total stab in the dark, but Drakey posted a lot of articles for BoA around the time of it's release, so it's possible he said it in response to somebody criticising a particular article. Only thing I can think of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 It doesn't sound like TM in my opinion. He wouldn't say "heck" for starters. Of the people around and actively posting/critiquing articles which I recall, (Drakey, TM, The Creator, and maybe Thuryl), my money is still on Drakey.

Hatchling Cockatrice Mea Tulpa Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 Updated. The missing answers: 5 was Alec. I would have thought the combination of lettered points with snark would make that obvious. 9 was not Kelandon but Drew. 8 was none other than the queen mum, Saunders.

Hatchling Cockatrice Mea Tulpa Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 a) That would be a bit too easy, and I'm not sure there's enough good material.

Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 It's by no means clear that the Creator is acknowledged as a Spiderweb Oldbie. On the Yes side, there's the whole eternal-ground-of-being-and-source-of-all-reality argument. But on the No side, She just hasn't posted here much. On balance She's probably only entitled to Omnipresent Lurker status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
