Don't you

Forget about me...

Welcome welcome!  So... tell us, who are your favorite characters so far? (I'm going to go out on a limb and guess Loial?)

Definitely poke around the place, just be careful of spoilers in the general WoT discussion forum since you're still on your first readthrough. 

Let us know if you have any questions - the helpful sorts among us will be happy to answer!

And as I recall, I think we both kinda liked it

Nice! Some day I'll go to JordanCon...

You really must!   (This is my first year, listen to me all demanding...)

It´s just a small thing, but I miss some of the old wot emojis. 

Pretty sure they're still there - if you click on the emoticons button, it has a drop down at the top right for categories - you can change the category to show all emoticons, and the rest of the ones we used to have in the full list should be visible.

I like it!  I look forward to seeing you in it in a few weeks

*starts singing along randomly to Pandora*

And I said 

What about

Breakfast at Tiffany's

We actually have a Shiba Inu puppy named Mr. Buttons, can confirm, he is adorable.

I've always wanted a Shiba Inu.

Mr. Buttons.... now that is just a ridiculously cute name.

New Tainted Times section added above: Around the Black Tower

By popular request, this new section will (at least until such time as the board software allows people to stay current with private boards and notifications) link to the new and/or popular threads in the BT public board and other boards visible to members only.  I shan't include the usual social group business threads like the roll call and the points reporting/spending threads - unless that's something folks feel they need.   And this thread will be updated through the rest of the month, until the next Tainted Times is issued, with newly created or newly popular threads.

Thoughts?

Clearly snow is the work of the Dark One. *nods sagely*

DJ is pretty awesome, I must concur.

Nope.

 

Seasons are defined by the weather, therefore they're not defined by the solstices and equinoxes.

In that case, I would be correct that Phoenix only has 3 seasons - spring, summer, and hell itself.

Nineteenth Century novels tend to bore me, 

Oh god yes.

I cannot believe how incredibly difficult it was for me to finish David Copperfield.

Shad's Database Mafia game is basically going to be a conglomerate of the most egregious games hosted on DM in years past, found while compiling his database.

It's definitely going to be screwy, and the people who will find it most fun are people who have played on DM for a while... the real old timers most of all. 

I remember Ithi's Trivial Pursuit... It might have been shortly after you stepped down as Dragon.

Maybe by 2021 I will be in the mood to play mafia again.

Welcome back, by the way

I am a wizard

Clearly not, your magic spell to keep you away from DM failed miserably.

@Leyrann I know that part, but converting it from any random temp from F to C not so much lol

My work is sending me through training to become licensed as a pharmacy technician, and all this week I've been working through a very long course on calculations.  Lots of learning different measuring systems, including metric, household measurements, apothecary, avoirdupois...  And I learned the formula for converting between Fahrenheit and Celsius.

It's not hard, but it's an extra step... and since our weather reports in the US are given in Fahrenheit, we don't think in Celsius.  

It's easy enough to Google the answer anyway, instead of taking the time to subtract 32, multiply by 5, divide by 9.

DO IT

Wow, i can't believe it's been over 5 years since my epic 3 part battle with @Lenlo as we ranked up...  Soldier, Dedicated, and Asha'Man. 

Good times.
