Off Topic / Ouija boards

« on: April 22, 2010, 08:38:51 AM »

A Ouija board is something used to apparently communicate with spirits and ghosts. It was issued around the 1920s. Ever since it's release, theres been a stuffload of controversy from a variety of parties. Some say they aren't real, some say they are real. Some say they are harmless, some say they are dangerous.

What I want to know is, how safe/dangerous are these really? I know someone whose used one and they say it was "The most terrible moment of my life", pretty much. I'm torn between using one and not using one. I've always been really scared of them, but curiosity keeps driving me back to thinking about them...

What do you think? Do you have any experiences with Ouija boards?

Drama / You guys /will/ bitch about anything.

« on: March 03, 2010, 03:50:54 AM »

No matter how BIG or how small^{billy mays does it all}, You Guys Will Bitch About Anything .

Blockland is, infact, expanding. Its really obvious!

With this expansion it seems the average age has fallen.
Which means players will be more naive.
we ned 2 b mor tollrable coz u guise are labellin evry idiut as trols

Essentially, you need to be less picky. Theres a large difference between a troll and an idiot. If you label an idiot as a troll, you'll most likely begin to alienate them and they will either become worse or stay an idiot. Sometimes even a troll. You just need to talk to the idiots. Its really not that hard. You might make a friend or increase your reputation among other Blocklanders (mah homeboy). Stop finding little flaws that these dumbasses are doing, don't come down on them in a wall of flame. Just try and talk to them, even if its through a PM. If they deny then tough luck, its just a different way of typing. Its not that much harder to read, honestly.
The amount of harsh conformity here is pretty funny...


Now lets take a double shot if brandy and bitch about the industry!

Off Topic / Translation, please?

« on: March 02, 2010, 02:08:08 AM »

Recently, I've been gathering up alot of audio snippets for a project and one sound piece imp articular is really bothering me - its what I think to be a conversation between 2/3 helicopter pilots during a raid or something alike. I can't remember where I got, just that I got it.

All I know about it for certain is its in Russian and I really am begging for a relatively accurate translation.

Link, GO!

It'd be greatly appreciate to an extreme extent if you could translate this to English. You'll get.. I don't know.. A KitKat?

Off Topic / tl;dr - Dismissive comment?

« on: January 29, 2010, 08:47:53 AM »

I wanted to hear your opinions on this, and your opinions only...

Should the usage of tl;dr within the drama forum be a bannable offence? I've always believed it as a dismissive statement and as displayed in the sticky topic ► If you don't care, don't post. -

... or similar dismissive statements will be banned.

For those who don't know, tl;dr means "Too long; Didn't read". Is this not a short phrase clearly portraying the poster's laziness comrades? If the poster didn't read the original post, its more than obvious they do not care for the actual thread - someone who does actually give some stuff about the thread would at least skin through.

What do you think?

Drama / /b/, 4chan and Anonymous does not make you cool.

« on: January 24, 2010, 10:31:38 PM »

After a series of irritable threads, I thought this was necessary.

4chan is not awesome. 4chan does not make you cool. If you like 4chan, go enjoy 4chan on 4chan. Stop linking images from 4chan. Stop copy pasta-ing threads from 4chan. Stop using 4chan as a threat. stop linking to 4chan. Stop talking about 4chan.

Get the forget out.

In reference to Anonymous, I continue to get irritable children claiming they are a member of Anon and will hack me or they will get a member of Anon to hack me.

Suggestions & Requests / Inverted ramp corners

« on: January 06, 2010, 08:35:43 PM »

For awhile now I've really been wanting some inverted ramp corners to finish off roofing a few of my builds. It would look so much more better, really. I'm also quite certain a majority of the community would like these, too.

Seriously now, how much better would this look with inverted corners?



Right now it looks spammy and uses up a few more bricks then it could. From what I recall, in an older version somewhere around v7, there was an inverted brick but players who did not have the brick could not spawn due to needing to download the brick shape. Could this/Has this been fixed in anyway?
