I'm just greatly amused, and very happy that it's you guys who are the arbiters of good taste -- y'all have excellent senses of humor.

Thanks, -- N

But I actually answered a MUCH MORE IMPORTANT question: what is the funniest thread that Crothian will never post in?

Go Bears! -- N

Indeed what does PirateCat eat?

Threads?
Sparrows?
Errant Monkeys?

That's one of the funniest threads I've seen on EN World for a while. Keep up the good work mods!

P.S. I hope that you all reported each other for spamming threads.

Definately worth a good read.

But ... did I miss something in why it was closed? Are we not allowed to talk about how silly it is that some players at the tabletop never feel the need to RP bodily functions like eating ... and ... it's consequences?

Not trying to be snarky here ... just gosh-darn curious, actually!

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. Wanted to start a thread about it, but figured that would be in poor taste.

There's no apostrophe in "PCs". That's cause right there.

Seriously? We had "eating" threads on elves, centaurs, giants, pandas, gorillons, three-toed sloths, trilobites, robozombies, ninjas and flumphs - or it sure felt like it. The PCs thread was the last straw. I closed it to send a message that a few "eating" threads were interesting, but four was too many.

Or, alternatively, I may just be a jerk.

No, definately no jerkiness there. I guess sometimes I forget that because I'm just a poster I can allow my eyes to glaze over the vast majority of threads if they don't immediately grab my attention. But, as mods, you all have to drudge through everybody's funny. And I use funny loosely, of course!

Thanks for the answer, it makes sense now that I've been able to walk a step in the shoes of the mods.

Not that this has anything to do with your post, Jdvn, I just like hitting the quote button! But as long as I've got your attention, I've noticed that your official title has changed to something along the lines of 50% more Jdvn1. So ... wouldn't that make you Jdvn1.5?

It's only because I don't have an ounce of originality in me that I started such a thread.

Thanks for taking away the little thunder that was mine.

Don't worry, in another 78 posts or so you'll get to 2nd level, and you'll start getting synergy bonuses on Diplomacy, Tumble and Craft (Thread).

Cheers, -- N

You could always go start a thread on what:

they drink ... That would be truly unoriginal! {And, no. Please don't follow that suggestion. It could be traced back to me ... eventually. Well, okay. It could be traced back to me rather easily since it's right here in this thread.}

* Please disregard my posts. I'm in a strange mood today.

Don't forget ... Appraise (Thread). That one is useful for keeping the mods from closing something you truly thought was unique!

Wait, what?! A clone army with infinite members that grew by 50%?! Damn you, Jdvn∞!!

On topic, there don't seem to be any deleted posts in that thread. Then again, those guys do have more tricks upon their sleeves than I do. Such as posting in any closed thread.

I guess I should wait a bit with my "What do Paladins eat and should they atone for it?" thread?
