hello there by maxewell on 2017-03-07 03:01:00 UTC Reply

Hi. I'm maxewell. Don't worry about where I came from.
I'm into pretty much everything. Not a bronie. Not a fan of that.... thing. I'll be pretty much everywhere DW, SPN, The Magicians, Star Trek, Star Wars, goddamn theres so many do I srsly have to list them all

No particular fanfiction is my favorite, same with spinoffs and agents. Though there are many things I can't list on here, thanks to some of the PG:13 restrictions. Anyways.

I'm a vampire too. I sneeze violently in bright sun. Look it up. Legit thing.

Hobbies: Reading. Playing video games. Doing literally anything other than homework. (I rolled a 20 on charisma, it comes in handy for that.)

Cya.

Have a 75-pack of perfectly ordinary paperclips. They come in no outrageous colors; they're just regularly-sized metal paperclips that you can use to hold paper together. With that said, try not to listen too closely to them, because whenever you pick one up, it starts blathering nonstop about how great the Versailles Philharmonic Quintet is, making obtuse references to song lyrics, going on about Rose Croix and the Descendants of the Rose, etc. It's probably for the best if you ignore them.

Anyways, it's great to meet you! I have one teeny tiny question: What video games do you play most frequently or enjoy the most?

Video Games by Maxewell on 2017-03-08 23:24:00 UTC Reply

I play a lot of TF2, a lot of the Borderlands series, and some others. I think I mentioned it in a couple other replies, so check those out. I do enjoy references to songs. I'm more of an emo/rock fan myself, but I love classical and dubstep too.

Well, I'm late, but I guess it's still time for gifting you with a pot of black-hole coffee and a welcome.

Have one of my own shed feathers, a replica lightsaber, and some plastic vampire fangs! Might as well finish the look, right? XD

If this goes through, it works for me by Tomash on 2017-03-07 05:47:00 UTC Reply

Clearing cookies might cure it. I don't think I've seen any long Base64 strings on this board before, so I'm not sure where that would have come from.

Where'd you encounter that URL, anyhow?

The Forbidden Error by Maxewell on 2017-03-07 05:49:00 UTC Reply

I believe I clicked on a certain part of the board when it happened. I'm not even what would be worth hiding in this board.

Do you remember what part? by Huinesoron on 2017-03-07 08:39:00 UTC Reply

My first guess is an ad gone wrong (it happens), but on the off-chance that it's sprung out of the stylesheet somehow, if you happen to remember where you ran into it, could you please let me know?

... or otherwise poke at the boundaries of the code running here, please use your own YourWebApps instance, since this one is in active use.

And if you do manage to replicate this (again, I'd prefer you not try here), please let me know how you hit that error page.

(It's possible you were hitting an admin interface of some sort, but that wouldn't explain the long binary blob in the URL)

No harm intended by Maxewell on 2017-03-07 06:03:00 UTC Reply

This was completely by chance. I haven't even taken a look at the site's code. This is certainly new to me - I don't intend on replicating this error. When I said I clicked on a part of the page, I meant passively, as something I do when I'm bored. It was by sheer accident that I was prompted with this.

Glad to hear that. Thanks for letting me know (nm) by Tomash on 2017-03-07 06:35:00 UTC Reply

For your newbie gift, I give you an orange rose by leafeyes on 2017-03-07 05:19:00 UTC Reply

Unrelated, but what kind of video games, and do you like board games?

Games (Boards included) by Maxewell on 2017-03-07 05:26:00 UTC Reply

I enjoy FPS games, puzzle games, MOBAs, and some other genres. As for board games, I haven't played many. The only one that I've played recently was Monopoly, but that never ends well. I do play a couple card games, such as Spite and Malice, Golf, Texas Hold'em, and others I cannot remember as of this moment.

welcome there by Larfen J. Stocke, esq. on 2017-03-07 04:06:00 UTC Reply

G'day, I'm Larfen! Worry very much where I come from, because there are lots of spiders and poisonous snakes and crocodiles. We have a pretty good amount of sun here, too (it goes all over the place, literally every day. It's crazy. It's mad.)

My gift upon you is: a roof. The greatest vampire defence against the sun that we have developed so far. We'll extinguish the threat in its entirety soon enough, don't you worry. But this will do, for now.

What'dyou read, then? Or play?
I'm faaaaairly certain you don't do either of those things with the stuff you listed. And I'm a professional sleuth, which is why I'm curious.

And welcome and such!

I read literally anything I can get my hands on. I have a limit currently on how many books I can check out from my public library, because apparently 27 was "too many for any one person to read within a week, let alone a month.".

As for gaming, I play TF2, Overwatch, LoL, The Borderlands Series, and many others.

Will I get verbally assaulted for using comic sans?

I don't think we need verbal assault for that. by Larfen J. Stocke, esq. on 2017-03-07 04:45:00 UTC Reply

Your own conscience and sense of morality ought to sort that all for you, I figure.

I have played TF2! I do not anymore, because the internet where I am is rubbish and online games sort of need the internet. I've not played any of those other ones, but I have gazed jealously at other people who play Overwatch. This now includes you.

*Gazes at jealously*

You don't got, I dunno, a favourite book, or anything like that? Or a series or such?

Books, and that matter by Maxewell on 2017-03-07 04:58:00 UTC Reply

A few personal favorites of mine are the Hamish X series, The Hitchhiker's guide, and the Abhorsen books.

Hitchhiker's Guide! by Larfen J. Stocke, esq. on 2017-03-07 07:03:00 UTC Reply

Aw, mate, love that series. I need to get on rereading that. Absolutely brilliant. The kind of thing I keep forgetting how brilliant it is, so when I read it I think 'why aren't I rereading this?'
And then I forget to reread it again, and the cycle repeats endlessly.

I will recommend Catch-22 to you.
I recommend it to everyone because it's my favourite book, but I especially recommend it here, because it's got a very similar style of humour. And a very similar absurdist philosophy through the whole thing. It's also much more sad and horrifying and may or may not make you cry.

I have heard of Abhorsen, but, er. That's it. I have not heard of Hamish X, but it's by a comedian and the first book involves cheese pirates, so consider me interested.

Welcome, and have a plate of SPaGhetti.

Since you seem to have missed the bit about using proper grammar when you read through the Constitution (at least, I assume you did from you comment about keeping things PG-13), I'd just like to remind you to keep the txtspk to a minimum when you post.

Anyway, since you said you don't like MLP, obligatoy image is obligatory.

Welcome, welcome, welcome. For your newbie gift, have a LEGO Mary-Sue minifig.
Have you read the Original Series and the Wiki? If you haven't; leave, read them, come back.
Hope you enjoy the Board. Leave your sanity at the door, and have some fun.

Hey dude! I'm glad you joined ^.^ As a welcome gift, I hereby present you with a ten-foot-long jet-black cat-o-nine-tails made entirely of paperclips. It will strike terror into the hearts of all who see it. Don't try to use it for anything, though, it was hard to make and is pretty close to falling apart as it is.

I also advise you to join in the Shipfest, so that we can do newest newbie/oldest oldbie properly this year.

The Cat-on-the-Keyboard is real, as far as I know. I've enjoyed many a good conversation about overthrowing mythological governments such as the Underworld, and general good fun.
