You can see the title - others not on the teams can't. (They'll see a link to the last thread they are able to see).

Try only their main page; don't go looking in their threads -if you gain access- and let me know the result, please.

When I go to the main forums page I can see Rik's name in our "Spam" thread. If he's posted in someone else's thread I can not see that. When I go to the multi PBEM page I see the sign up thread, ruleset, turn tracker and our site.

It's probably ok.

I can only see our Team Spoiler Thread. I have no visibility on the others. Posting this to make sure I can post.

As far as discussions go, I am usually available throughout most of the workday, at least as long as it is slow. So you'll see me popping in and out of here most likely.

First, let me congratulate Idiot Pentium Processor for becoming a Quartermaster. :beer: Nice job!

Second, we can chose how we should be addressed...and RegentMan tried to help me. A difficult task...
Well, it would read "Seriously Grumpy Idiot Dude of the Stupids." Tourists would say "Do you want to head over to the nation of K.I.S.S.?" and they would use the plain old Stupids dollar in your nation. Look at the screenie I provided and make up some sentences using noun, formal, and adjective (like I did)
Funky (Buddha..a fun bar in Chicago btw) Punky improved on it...

Name: The Dude!
Formal: K.I.S.S
Nouns: Stupids
Adjective: plain old Stupids or
Title: Seriously Grumpy Idiot

Would you all change this any way?
A few I thought of....
Name: "Way too Cool Dudes?"
Formal: K.I.S.S.
Nouns: of the Grumpy Idiots?
Adjectives: cool?
Title Your Graciousness"?

Do we care how we're addressed?

Jul 20, 2005, 05:08 PM

For the name, I think the first in Whomp's post is better. But I don't really care.

Mistfit,
While walking to work today I was thinking of a motto.
How about "Speak softly (or slowly) and carry a big SOD!"

Of course if it doesn't take much time
Once again you are the best!

Absolutely! The whole world will be jealous.

Does anyone like my motto?

Pentium
Jul 22, 2005, 01:18 AM
I do. :D

But should it be "Speak slowly and clearly..." or "softly" or what?

RegentMan
Jul 22, 2005, 03:01 AM
Teddy said "Speak softly, but carry a big stick."

Whomp
Jul 22, 2005, 08:46 AM
So we'll carry a monster SOD instead of a stick. The reason I thought slowly vs. softly was because....well let's face it we're either an idiot, loser or grumpy and old.

By SOD, I'm guessing you mean Stack of Death, right?

I like "Speak slowly, but carry a big SoD".

:thumbsup: @ MisT's banner. He's outbannered himself. What the heck does cod of barns mean :confused: . I really like the concept of us as idiots, losers, old and in the way because...well, because basically I am :D .
Now I'm off to do my duty as Captain Keshik of the Idiot Academy and then as Korean Peacekeeper in Souls ramalama. Yes Whompie, I still take an awful lot of time doing my turns so I won't be back until tomorrow (cut down from 2 hrs to about 1 thou).
