  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

pregnant roller skate............. LOL!!!!

your humour's getting 'worse' everyday, LF. :D

ok, guys, i'm going to add 'Time of Trial' to my CF homepage, in a format similar to 'Seven Seals' (you can check it there). I'm thinking of putting excerpts in, but if you guys could pm me your individual excerpt that would be great! If i don't hear back from you by tomorrow, i might go on ahead and choose one for ya.

Actually, that's in the words of a friend of mine-- just the image alone kills me. :D

Adding Time of Trial to your custom page? Oh, awesome! :D I'd been thinking of doing something like that (rife with my wacko personal commentary, of course!) but I'm too lazy to. ;) Maybe I'll sign up on LiveJournal to kick off my NaNoWriMo thing... because I'm pretty set on doing that. Jury's still out on whether I'm going to leave Isliel's baddie status unknown for most of the story (dropping little hints here and there) or make it known from the outset... the former might be a little more interesting for the reader, but the latter would make for some great dramatic irony.

I really messed up the story with that last post. Wymite has been walking around all night and he catches up with the soldiers who have been talking for five minutes. Uh. What happens now?

I made this character for the Zantukites, but I could change it to be a Shardonian. It might be fun to call Isliel’s loyalty into question.
Fergand Valsen
47
Human
Appearance: Medium weight and height, high cheek bones, leathery sun-baked skin, long unkempt gray and black hair and beard, wide-brimmed leather hat with a big feather which covers his eyes, and durable, dirty clothing. Second-hand rapier which he carries at his side.
Bio: Fergand is an inquisitor for the Zantukites. He routs out those who may be defecting to Perian Intelligence. However, he lost his sight, and the Zantukites consider blindness unholy. He is concerned that if they find out he will lose his status, so he covers his face with a wide-brimmed hat. That way no one can see his pale eyes or know that he isn’t looking directly at them when he talks. He claims he is illiterate. His sword is mostly for show.

Although your comment of "the psuedo old woman" was not only interesting, but also rather funny, I'm afraid an error has occured. She's no longer down on the side of the stream. Bat has ran, decloaked, and climbed up a tree to listen in on the conversation of the two soldiers. Sorry dude, but she's not there to watch your character being clumsy and falling into a freezing stream.

And one more question also. Has been a whole day? I recall it being night time and nearly daylight soon. I realize I'm being very assine (if that is the word I think I mean) and such, however I just wanted to let you know of these small things. I personally don't care, but I thought it'd come better from the one always in trouble for "playing God" as it were with nature and sudden appearances of characters where they don't belong. (not this thread...past threads long dead).

As usual, insanity has caught up with my writing and ran ahead of it.

I thought it was about dusk. The most Wymite could have been walking for is two hours, but I'm not sure how inter-dimensional time works on a quantum level, especially if bent by singularity. Like those microscopic japanese cars or Narnia. (I have no idea what I'm talking about) Also, you said that was a question. Socratese leaves his annoying way of arguments behind.

Hightlighting is fun!;) As if anyone hasn't figured out that you can read my messages by highlighting them

i thought it's some time past sunset (post #23 page 3)...

lol, Wymite's clumsiness's so funny..

that's a good idea, LF. Lots of people do that too (about the journal for nano), just to get organised and, well, let those of us who don't or do nano come and read it! ;)

That's an interesting idea, Zantukites considering blindness unholy... this guy sounds like he'd probably be in league with Igo, who has the much more euphemistic title of 'Investigator'. (Which, some to think of it, is pretty much the same thing. Hehehe.)

Anyway, since the Shardalonians ultimately answer to Zantukite authority on account of a little spat that happened between Zantuk and Shardalon-- which Shardalon came out on the losing end of-- it would probably be just fine to keep Fergand a Zantukite. Besides, to be a Shardalonian he'd have to be a woman! ;)

Well, sorry for taking sooo long to post, but I was too tired to post, and I had to clean the house for church on sunday, and went to my Aunt's birthday party on saturday. Very busy.

As for a character, I was thinking maybe a wolf or a medium-large dog that is intellible, though does not appear to be able to speak any language, other than that of the wolf/dog. what do you think?

Megachihuahua your so funny. I like how you had that bit of invisible text in there in ( ) lol. That was funny. How did you do that???

Wait...

(I really just made that up. Singularity is the black part of a black hole, where the gravity moves objects faster than light, so time is bent. Those little japanese cars are quantum mechanics, which have nothing to do with time ^_^ )

(blackholes are pretty. I once and still do theorize that each galaxy has a "black hole" in other words in the center and that may be the reason for galaxies tramendous force of gravity keeping it all together. Otherwise, it'd be like our solar system without a sun. It'll fall apart. So I'm not sure. Otherwise I'm insane and it ends up Hawking was right and that black holes can't exist. Also I think that black holes are kind of galatic vacum cleaners and that they filter out junk (like solar systems) and produce Dark Matter (which is the abscence of matter.). Perhaps I think too much and perhaps I'm WAY out of hte box....but I am allowed my opinion. Enough of invisible tyep! let's have some normal RPG!!!! YAY!!!)

Like I was saying...let us continue in normal font, though this invisible stuff is FUN!!!

(Where we got to vaccum cleaners from a discussion on what time it is is confusing, but I like upright vaccums better than the kind with the hose.
Dark matter is matter that is dark. Lack of matter is called void, or Space.
Einstein was the one who said black holes couldn't exist, Hawkings was the one who said that black holes slowly dissolve. But didn't he just in the past year say they don't dissolve?
I'm like the autisic savant of super string theories! Actually, I just make this stuff up, but it sounds right.
Fine, have your opinion! I will continue to use invisible type until Bus gets a chance to use it
BTW, my communist chihuhuas and Tolstovish Terriers can beat VH and her hamsters any day):help:
