That there is not anything particularly green about the word green, either. Same thing goes for the word verde, the portuguese word for green.
What makes a spoon a spoon? Why is it called a spoon and not a fork? What if what people call spoon is actually a fork?
Yay, we share plenty of fandoms! *high-fives* Glad you enjoyed the Original Series. When you say "French student", does that mean you're majoring in French or you come from France and happen to be studying here? Either is pretty neat. :)
Have some Shire oatcakes and a Gatorade bottle! (Perfect for storing potions in.)
I'm a student in history, and I'm working on the late Roman army.
i read your missions too, they were pretty funny to read. I'll taste these cakes later, and the potion... I look forward to writing a Dresdenverse sorcerer agent when I'll try to get Permission someday, when I'm well-known here. It would be perfect for the potions.
[throws glitter]
Oh sorry for this, and thank you for the greeting. However, where did you get that much glitter, in the Cafeteria ?
My knowledge on the first three persona games may not be as extensive as the one I have of P3 and P4, but I do know them, yes. I do not currently have the games with me anymore though.
I will have to take a look at those P4 badfics later, but from your descriptions they do sound pretty bad.
I have them, but Eternal Punishment is on emulator (why Atlus, Europeans were not good enough for your game ? Hope it will not happen with Persona 5).
The second one feel more weird than bad, if I had to resume it... it would be like Yu dressed up like Naoto, except for some facts about Naoto herself.
Sorry to hear that. It is probably considerably harder to get hold of them here in South America than it would be in North America, if makes you feel any better.
That one is quite long. It seems to me that it will take a rather long discussion to ascertain the truth of this matter. What do you think of us taking this over to e-mail
exchanges?
I mean, the video game market isn't exactly bristling with informations about South America.
No problem about my mail, here it comes : richard.keselo@orange.fr.
However, be aware that I'm beginning a new year in university, so don't be surprised if I take some time for sending answers.
You can sort of get a feel of what the video game market is like over here by watching both Global Games videos on this playlist on the Extra Credits channel, particularly the Brazil video, since that is where I live.
Alright then. I am also in the beginning of a new college semester, so also don't be surprise if takes time for me to actually send you something.
It's really interesting, and I should watch more videos on this channel, thanks for showing me this.
Extra Credits is really awesome. You should definitely check them out.
I mean, if a Sue sees me with this, she'll never think I could be an ennemy until I charge her and portal the glitterbag in the Tomb of Horrors (how many of them would be needed in order to reach Acererak's true lair, in your opinion ?).
About Sanderson, I only read Mistborn, the sequel and his work on Wheel of Time, sorry. I konw his other series from name, but you never get enough time for all the books, series, ...
But you're right, beginning with the shorter ones is better.
I was talking about the D&D supplement The Tomb of Horrors, 1st Edition, with the demilich Acererak, and Gary Gygax's ultimate deathtrap. Just watch this. They'll never escape this alive.
A living world... well, I can certainly try! ^_^ Thank you very much!
That's probably one of the things I love most about D&D-- the world is so free. I can do absolutely anything I want, and then my players get to run around in my creation! It's awesome!

But no one else in my area does… :(
But I'm gonna try and get the Doctor Who: Adventures in Time and Space RP as a site online for fans to play the game on together, if I can get BBC's permission. Man, are they picky with their permission grants…
Anyway, have some Generic chocolate chip cookies, homemade!
It's the only thing who deserve to be called chocolate.
I can relate about RPG, I never really had potentials players around, but online plays are a possible solution.
P. S. : Now I think about it, I don't remember seeing your last mission on the wiki, did you forget it ?
Therefore, I used that type.
Which mission are you referring to?
I'm talking about your mission in the Whoniverse, you didn't put it on the Wiki, so I'm warning you.
Here, have a cup of totally-not-going-to-eat-your-face-if-you-try-to-drink-it Earl Grey tea.
I'm sure it will be a Iroh-grade tea, thanks.
Also sending my regards for Agent!Desdenelle. You'll only become more machine than man if you let it win, never give up.
Roiboos isn't actually tea, you know. The only things that can be called tea have actual tea in them (or, weirdly enough, jasmine). The word you're looking for is "infusion". Still, nothing wrong with it; pretty tasty, in fact, though I'm partial to Earl Grey and Lapsang Souchong myself.
~Des, Tea Fanatic
I mean, it's called "thé rouge" in French, so...
Oh well, you learn something each day. I likes normal tea too, nature or sometimes with dark chocolate.
If I'd have had a Shekel every time I heard someone call a cup of lemongrass infusion 'cup of tea' I could buy a small apartment here.
That said: what's nature tea? And... tea with chocolate? *mind boggled*
Yes. It's like saying the world is flat.
OTOH, it's a word, a definition, and those only have meaning because of wide agreement.
Confused? So am I.
Your incredible concise argument reminds me so very much of this brilliant comic :)

Already talked about pointing at your teeth and saying "Abracadabra" while you mean "my teeth ache". That's not what I meant. Rather, consider this: is there anything in the word 'green' that is inherently green? In the word 'vert'? 'ירוק' (yarok)?
Green
hS
It is agreed that 'green' points to a certain colour. However, there is nothing in the particular word 'green' that means that colour has to be called by it; 'vert' and 'ירוק' also equally point to that colour. That's why I say there's nothing inherent in the word 'green' and it's a consensus thing.
how are there colourless green ideas that sleep furiously?
(Or is "colourless green" one of those Suvian colours like urple and wilver?)
Then why do 'vert' and '青い' (aoi) also mean 'green'?
Interestingly enough, the second one? It also means 'blue'.
I think you can mostly chalk it up to that conversation getting really confusing. Maybe Des was claiming it. I don't know. Just let me go back and see exactly what everyone was saying up to that point so that I can give you a proper response, okay?
I was claiming there's an argument that I don't quite understand. I'd ask the guy who made it, but he's in vacation in Poland for the next week and a half, so I can't do that.
Would be to postpone this debate until such a time when you can do that, then.
I know there is one because I've debated the issue with a friend. I'm not sure what the argument is, however — for me it's pretty obvious and he didn't quite make it clear.
Can't have a serious philosophical debate if you want silly.
Gas gas!
I kinda was, because hearing others' opinions on such philosophical matters interests me greatly.
That there is not anything particularly green about the word green, either. Same thing goes for the word verde, the portuguese word for green.
What makes a spoon a spoon? Why is it called a spoon and not a fork? What if what people call spoon is actually a fork?
If both people agree on the debated article. And no, it's not evident — I've had many a conversation about it.
Also, if you would like to have a Boarder to have philosophical discussions with, I am all up for it.
I was talking about actual tea, not infusions. And I eat the chocolate with the tea, I'm not dropping chocolate in the tea, if it's what you're thinking.
*inhale*
IT'S A LONG, LONG WAAAAAY TO BA SING SEEEE~~~♫
THEY LOOK SOOO PRETTAAAAY!~♫
"Let's see some action! Dance!"
AND THEY KISS SOOO SWEEEET THAT YOU'VE REALLY GOT TO MEEEET!~♫
*hit it Ixi!*
THE GIRLS FROM BA SING SEEEEEEEEEE!~♫
God, I miss Iroh so much. ;-;
There was that time where people were thinking Zuko was gonna die... I actually hoped it happened because then he would appear in the Spirit World and Iroh would be there waiting for him. And the first thing he says would be, "Welcome, prince Zuko. Would you like some tea?"
Hi, and welcome! Here's some Bloffee - you'll be needing it soon enough, I'm sure.
So, there it is, the Bleep version of coffee, *sips* ... Not bad, and a certain Persona badfic I saw is already fading (eyes growing inside the Velvet Room, just suepid). I'm sure it would taste better with pure cocoa.
I'm fairly certain that's a thing, but I'm pretty new so I can't be sure. There's a list on the wiki of all Bleep products...
I was talking about pure cocoa powder, with no sugar. I added this in a coffee before, the result is not bad.
Welcome to the board and here is a blood shot red light pen.
Nice to meet you. However ,this pen needs an ophtalmo right now (perhaps he could give him glasses powerful enough to upgrade it to a lightsaber ^_~).
Welcome. Here are some sonic screws for you. (You'll have to bring your own sonic screwdriver to go with them.)
Read your first mission, hope for you it will be the first of many.
I'll guard this with me, you really never know when something will be needed here, isn't it ?
(And it's okay not to know what that means, unless you happen to have read the Young Wizards series as well...?)
*Optional!Hugs*
Hope you enjoy your stay! :>
TVTropes sure has dragged in a lot of us, hasn't it? ^_~
Never read Young Wizards before, but judging from what I saw, this series will be fine on my Kobo.
I discovered Tv Tropes itself three years ago, at most, and now i just don't know what I would without this site, naviagtion between the tropes leads to great discoveries ... provided you don't let it Ruin Your Life, eh. ^^
Happy reading, then! ^^ They're over here: ebooksdirect dot diane duane dot com
As for TVTropes; it's been more like 5 years for me, but the risks of Wiki Diving haven't decreased or increased much lately. XD
I will get them when I have the time and the money for this.
Have one of my own shed feathers and (seeing as you've read LoTR) a replica of the One Ring that actually makes you invisible!
But I couldn't use it against Sues, glitters would ruin it.
I read your spinoffs too, they're just my sort of crazy, though Rashidi is really trigger-happy. Salutations to your own private army.
Uh, about that ring, it seems fire doesn't affect it, and the inscriptions ... Did you go to the OFUM recently ?
Have a shovel that digs up... more shovels.
It only means more weapons againts the glitterbags.
By the way, what sort of magical material was used for this shovel, and how many dots of artifact does it take ?
You play Exalted.
YOU PLAY EXALTED.
AAAAAAAHHHHHH
*is too busy rioting to inform you that it's a three-dot orichalcum shovel*
Cooler than the average daiklave then. However, I cannot really play Exalted right now, since I would have to find some players. It doesn't stop from drooling over The very soon to come 3rd Edition.
Roseblack for Shogun, Exalted doing their job of defending Creation, and Sidereals Karma Houdini to the stake, that's my credo.
I hope he/she will get along with my cat, she can be a mouthful sometimes.
You read the Dresden Files too, then. I remember Death Masks as the last one with a french translation, a pity for us. I hope you like seeing Dresden facing the impossible however, because after this one, playtime is over for him and the real work begins.
Must admit I didn't knoww there was another French here, though.
Have you ever read DM of the Rings? It's what inspired Darths and Droids; if you haven't read it, check it out!
Page is loading fine for me, that's weird.
*summons bigger fish and wanders off*
Cafetaria would not be able to profit from this. Actually, I read DM of the Rings first, but D&D seems just so crazy and funny.
Page is loading, but I only get the title, wiki activity and the categories find it weird to.
Welcome to the PPC! Have this complimentary Ion-Trail-In-A-Jar!
Thanks for the greeting, but what's the use of this thing, exactly ?
My cowrite with Ix has ground to a halt of late, mostly due to my unfamiliarity with the fic in question's primary source material. Wobbles and the Notary tend to mostly show up in RPs now, because I am lazy and don't do much mission writing, but it's nice to feel appreciated. =]
Gabrielle and Doktor Trollenfisch will return, though. Depend upon it. =]
Is there a particular way to insert links here ?
Because I love sharing music that semm appropriate for the moment and other things too, and don't think you'll find the links I'm posting appealing to the eye.
Hardric, newbie on web writing too.
If you want to put a link in, use Name Of Link/Sarcastic Phrase/whatever you want to say
But without the spaces between the a and the brackets. =]
I have to applaud your taste there. I'm a big tabletop fan, too. What does STR stand for? I don't think I've encountered that acronym before.
Naoto is my favorite for P4 cast, too.
Never played Persona Q, but it appears to be a great game. Who do you prefer in the P3 section of the cast, though?
Love Disgaea too, with 2 being my favourite.
Yeah, that's the thing with FATE system, you always create great characters with it, and roleplay will not be forgotten here.
Welcome! Here, have a head that's always screaming!
Thank you for this, I'm sure it will be a great anti-sales representatives bell, provided they value their life more than benefits, that is.
I read your first mission too, and I sure hope the next will be just as good.
Appreciated! :D
Nice to see a fellow OotS fan around. I suppose you don't want this halfling courage rock I found? No?
Okay, you can have this golden spork instead. It's enchanted against glitter.
Just out of interest, what Fire Emblem games have you played?
I played Blazing Sword, Binding Blade, The Sacred Stones, Awakening, Genealogy of the Holy War, Path of Radiance, Radiant Dawn and I have Thracia 776, Sword of Light and I am also playing the mods The Last Promise for Blazing Sword and Genealogy of Tordo, the only way I know of playing Ishtar (yes, some of them are on emulator, I blame their age and Japanese only publications).
This spork is great for the Cafeteria, since Sue corpse looks like the main course here.
Thanks for the stone too, but Roy need it right now.
Lack of localisation: the curse of being a FE fan. I'm working on Gaiden and FE1 right now - it's going a bit slowly, because I also have Xenoblade Chronicles and Skyrim to distract me.
Awakening's my favourite, though. I haven't played as many as you have, because I won't use an emulator for anything that was localised, but I have The Sacred Stones on my 3DS.
~Seafarer, who never gets tired of arguing that Awakening doesn't suck
How could Awakening "suck" ?
This game banished the specter of localisation, it saved IS when it entered in "Final Fantasy" mode, it is a great experiment, it finally reintroduced sword/magic classes, it has Lucina and it and paved the way for FE Fates, for Naga's sake ! What could be wrong with this game (feet don't count)?
You're not alone, Seafarer.
The big one seems to be an overall weak plot in comparison to the rest of the series. Then there are the people who complain about the lack of a true "Hard" difficulty - it jumps straight from the tame Hard to the utterly insane Lunatic. I've also heard it said that the protagonists behave like a bunch of sociopaths. Then there's the usual refrain of 'it's catering to casuals so it suxxorz lol'. And there's hating on the DLC.
Yeah, I've been on IGN too much.
The game is not perfect, but hey, they're never perfect. However, I fail to see how the protagonists are sociopaths, it appears a little over the top here. Besides, this guys would be complaining much more if the series died with Awakening, because there would be no hope of better games in the future.
...is another's average. Ever played Super Mario Galaxy 2? To me, that's perfection. There's no game in the genre I'd rather play.
As for the sociopathy... can't find a source, so I guess that was just some nut raving on IGN comments.
Did you try Lunatic+?
I mean, i've looked for the stats and the skills in this mode ... I could not do this, no matter how many times I try I would lose someone, and can't accept this, even for Vaike. These stats are madness
It's really rough up until about chapter 6, then you start getting powerful, and then you get Morgan and basically start laughing at the enemies. Also? Dark Mage Laurent.
Dark Mage Noire is something too.
Def flaw Avatar is a no-go. Counter still hurts like hell unless you go bows/Mire. And until you get bow access, you will need the Remove command.
There is no way to beat Lunatic+ offensively. It's all about tanking.
