Right. Múspell is the read only section that you go to when you get permabanned.
Ouch. Yeah, definitely more severe. Though this concept of a universal forum is starting to sound like an interesting premise for a story...dashed if I know what it'd be about though.

It would essentially be Ragnarok. Vigrid would be the name of a forum with the assorted Aesir being mods. One day, Anonymous (led by super hacker on steroids, Surtr) would show up and raid the place. At the end, everyone is banned from the Internet by their ISP save for two lone users who must rewrite all the ruined websites by themselves.

An apocalypse story definitely sounds like the way to go. And with a hint at hope at the end...nice touch.
Thank the Vikings, not me. I just ripped off their apocalypse myth and repurposed it.
Thank you, Vikings! I did think that it sounded oddly familiar, but Viking mythology is not exactly my forte. Anything beyond Beowulf and Eaters of the Dead and I get lost.
I'm not a fan of hope. Where's the soul-crushing defeat of all that is good?
Um... the two users could be less in the Aesir mold and more in the Surtr mold? Geez, you're shitty at pessimism, Josh. Why do you have to look for the good in everything?

Beowulf - actually English. Also, I probably know more Greek mythology than I do Viking.
I'm not a fan of hope. Where's the soul-crushing defeat of all that is good?
Exactly, just like the end of LOST ... I hated that ... I also hated it because it promoted Nihilism as Anarchism, and said sticking the believes does make you feel better (using values that "we all made together" is not useful and does not lessen the agony) ... and I wanted the Smocky to win ...
EDIT: I guess you're all gonna stop continuing the thread just because I brought up the tabbo word, huh? Nihilsm? It's a tabboo word right? geez ... :mad:

I think soul-crushing defeat is more poignant when there's someone to witness it. If everyone's permabanned, there's no one left to react to it, so what's the point?
Now, killing off the comic relief...that's a great way to soul crush in apocalypse zone.
I had never heard of it somehow, and thought any correction might look foolish on my part.
Its not one of his famous books, but it is a good read and one of the few where there is no technology turning on its creator. Instead, we get Neanderthals eating human brains!

Wait, how did trolling get a place in the Nine realms of the Gylfanning when I wasn't looking? And shouldn't they go to the Ginnugagap? It's a bottomless black pit, so we could dump the ever expanding number into it with no problems?
I have this frigid fear of heights and I would just about not even step into that pool.
I kind of have a horrible fascination with heights. I like being up high, and absolutely love the sensation of "flying", but I'm a total pansy about jumping off things (probably a healthy product of evolution there).
Even though I KNOW I'm in a harness and it's all cool etc, when my brain says "all righty, let's jump now," EVERY OTHER CELL in my body is screaming WTF ARE YOU DOING GET THE F*** AWAY FROM THERE... at that point it's an exercise in mental strength to just go.
I did manage to jump off the Sky Tower in Auckland:
Most people I know are much, much cooler than me with this stuff. I have a lot of admiration for people who have no fear, but I reckon that feeling scared and doing it anyway is pretty ok too.
I like the feeling of flying, which is why I like roller coasters, but I hate the drops. I think I'm more afraid of falling than heights, now that I think about it.

As expected, you have outviking'd me. I bow to your prodigious Norsenerdishness. That's a word, now.
Needs more labels! I think I got most of it, but what's that brown box at the bottom (a shed)?
Yeah, it is. The sketch was actually done around 6 years ago, when I was in high school. I'd scanned it to show somebody and the original has gotten lost since*, so I printed it for my dad and he colored it this morning. It had labels before, but some of it was undecided. The shed was actually just planned back then and constructed in the last couple years (you can see it in the pictures).
Yeah, the brown is mulch and the grey is rock (and I know it's hard to tell the difference), then he wants to do a ton of flagstone.
And you should totally ditch the horseshoe things for a lap pool. Something like this would be nice:
I wish. I know my dad's barely going to use those things, if at all. But he's adamant that he wants them, so we're getting them. I really have no input on this thing.
*The scan got lost as well. I was unable to find it on either my desktop or my laptop, as well as on my external and a few flash drives. I had to hook up an ancient computer running Windows 2000 to find it.
If heaven was real and this tecnology existed would God let a clone into Heaven? Because it wasnt created by god but by man. Same goes for advance AI's that are basicly human.

Conundrums like this are why all religions are lies: they make no sense.
Just ate some Battletoads breakfast cereal, watched the morning Battletoads cartoon, had a shower and dried myself of with my favourite Battletoads towel (I hope some day Rash's coolness will rub off on me). Played some Battletoads on my Nes, prepared myself a packed lunch and drink in my Battletoads' lunchbox and drink-cup set, and set off for the park since it was a nice day.
After finishing my lunch at the park bench, I sat down on my Battletoads blanket, and played Battletoads on my Gameboy.
A few hours later, I wondered around near the park pond looking for toads, but none of them did anything apart from sit around and croak.
So I went back home and started to cook my favourite meal, Battletoads Spaghetti hoops and Bernard Matthews Battletoad Bites, with my Zitz Kiwi Flavoured Frijj.
Once the most awesome meal of all time had been consumed, I decided to treat myself tonight by getting out the popcorn, the Pimple Pez, and the Battletoads Haribo and watched Battletoads: The Movie.
3 hours later, (I watched the Directors Cut that includes all the extra death scenes), I started to get ready for bed.
I put on my Battletoads Pajamas, set my Professor T. Bird alarm clock, snuck in a sneaky half hour session of Battletoads In Battlemaniacs on my Snes, turned off the lights, turned on my Dark Queen nightlight, (It glows purple! ), and went to sleep, dreaming of bashing rats and stomping pigs.
So...yeah..
We need more Battletoads in our lives.
Come on Rare, makes us another Battletoads or at least port the arcade one to xbox live/psn!!

For you, friend; there will come a reckoning.
You, however; were only trying to help. Good on you. Don't let it happen again.
It's a Firefox thing. They do have a Chrome version, but it doesn't allow you to block individual images.
How does one block an Ad-blocker?
That sounds like a philosophical question now.
Use the banhammer of Thor, obviously. Mjolnir, away!
Thor's a mod? Wow, the things you learn on the internet! I would have never suspected.
Mod, god. Whatevs. It rhymes.
You know, because he's the one who changes day and night ... am I right? ...
I am going to bed, the pain is unbearable...
I suppose being a god is like being a mod of the universe. Only the banhammer is a bit more severe...
Right. Múspell is the read only section that you go to when you get permabanned.

Same here! Flocke was such an intresting villian and all he wanted to do was leave the fecking island.
And Eaters of the Dead is by Michael Crichton. But it does have Vikings in it.
I think soul-crushing defeat is more poignant when there's someone to witness it. If everyone's permabanned, there's no one left to react to it, so what's the point?

He was just curious ...
LOST promotes not being curious and living in a dream ...
I had never heard of it somehow, and thought any correction might look foolish on my part.

I must visit the library, I think.
Do so. Its one of my favorite Crichton books after Jurassic Park, and a bit like a much more exciting version of Beowulf.
There's also a movie, The Thirteenth Warrior, that's based on the book and isn't too bad either.
Advice taken. Thanks again!
Enjoy!

*GASP* Good Sir, I am offended. As an Anglo-Saxonist with Norse leanings, I find that offensive in the extreme. Pistols at dawn.

And go canyoning in Costa Rica:
Attachment not found.
Most people I know are much, much cooler than me with this stuff. I have a lot of admiration for people who have no fear, but I reckon that feeling scared and doing it anyway is pretty ok too.
But... but... she a lady. If there aren't weapons involved, that's totally a fight I'd be willing to... um... officiate.
Yeah, it is. The sketch was actually done around 6 years ago, when I was in high school.
