[hardcore] NOOBz_must_dIE: I'm confused. The update sayd EgtS is dead, yet it's still there? [hardcore] darkgreycat: My god. [hardcore] MimiRiceCat: the >> is updated, not gone. [hardcore] dARThdud: Wow, never heard someone call it the EgtS before [hardcore] darkgreycat: Please make the stupidity end. [hardcore] dARThdud: That took me a moment. [hardcore] darkgreycat: Have you NEVER in your LIFE read a book with the phrase "The king is dead, long live the king" in it? [hardcore] Robin: I remember hearing that phrase as a kid, and getting really confused. [hardcore] adiabatic: darkgreycat: I've heard of it. Come to think of it, it *still* doesn't make much sense. [hardcore] darkgreycat: Maybe noobz is still a kid. [hardcore] BabyScarface: Yeah, 'cause it's still alive. [hardcore] darkgreycat: It means that as soon as one king dies, there's another one. [hardcore] Blasmeister: 25 turns after my ascii art and no adding machine in sight :/ [hardcore] NOOBz_must_dIE: Is it updated for better or worse? [hardcore] darkgreycat: (unless there's a queen, but that's less comomn) [hardcore] Shalegrey notes that not getting a particular phrase not in common use in most of the work is "stupidity". Purchasing 1 glittery mascara. Using 1 glittery mascara. [hardcore] adiabatic: NOOBz_must_dIE: unequivocally better -hic- [hardcore] darkgreycat: It's not in common use? Huh. News to me. [hardcore] NOOBz_must_dIE: I guess it couldn't really get much worse. [hardcore] Shalegrey: Now, just to help calibrate the scale properly, if they had never heard the [hardcore] cuRiOsiTy: I'd say it's fairly common use [hardcore] Blasmeister: and that was after burning off some of the delay :/ [hardcore] BabyScarface: Regicide isn't as popular as it used to be. Crafting 1 sangria del diablo. [hardcore] cuRiOsiTy: although I read pretty much every victorian children's book while growing up, so maybe I'm not the best judge of that Chugging a sangria del diablo. [hardcore] Shalegrey: phrase "Two if by Sea" in Madagascar, how dumb would they be? Using 1 Platinum Yendorian Express Card. [hardcore] Shalegrey: Goddamn spring on my enter key seems loose. Time for a new keyboard. [hardcore] darkgreycat: Are you talking about whether the target audience of an American animated kids' movie has heard of Paul Revere in school yet? [hardcore] darkgreycat: And comparing that to a web game for adults? darkgreycat: Why do I keep going back into /hardcore? What's wrong with me? [hardcore] Shalegrey: I'm asking how stupid a resident of Madagascar would be if they didn't understand "two if by sea". [hardcore] darkgreycat: You've lost me completely. tivolimom: masochist [hardcore] cuRiOsiTy: greycat: madagascar is a place as well as a movie AFH: (p4n1q) It's not that you're in /hc; it's that you haven't baleeted the requisite ~50 people to make it tolerable. [hardcore] cuRiOsiTy: he's talking about the place [hardcore] darkgreycat: I'm aware of that, but his context was a bit mangled, and I thought he meant the movie. [hardcore] cuRiOsiTy: taking a typical resident of that place and testing their knowledge of american history [hardcore] darkgreycat: So he thinks that a common English language historical and literary expression used in an English language web game for ADULTS is somehow analogous to using an American historical reference in an [hardcore] darkgreycat: African country. [hardcore] BabyScarface: And Madagascar didn't revolt against the British, and didn't have a stableboy on a horse yelling code words. -hic- [hardcore] Shalegrey: I mean, not getting the context of a line based on "The King is dead, long live the King" in a decided non-monarchy where the average person actually has no understanding of what it means isn't too [hardcore] Shalegrey: horrible a failing. [hardcore] darkgreycat: OK, fuck this. -hic- [hardcore] darkgreycat: Tkae your "average person" and stick him in a fucking meat grinder. [hardcore] darkgreycat: BYe.
