Current affairs

Hey man, so i was scrolling through my dictionary, and I was looking up the word "Thd" and I noticed your name in it. The definition it came up with was "awesome writer/admin/bumlord who know's where it's at." Anyways, incorporating that with the fact I've been away for what seems like too long, I was wondering if there was anything (un)important that's happended since I last cared? Also, I'm not sure if I ever got to properly congratulate you on making the team, well done man :D --Testostereich • (ballsack) 16:22, 9 Aym 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! Not much new stuff has happened since you left...we got a new pickle started, and there was some drama over the Christianity article (although the argument didn't end in a gunfight, unfortunately. that would have been really dramatic. instead it ended in an abrupt and anticlimactic compromise). Also, it's been a record few weeks since the site's been inexplicably slow or broken (we had some problems with the server for a while there). Good to see you back. --THE 16:59, 9 Aym 2009 (UTC)

OMG TEH

I hadn't been on Illogic for a silly amount of time (apparently it was one month but I could swear it was longer than that!) so discovering that you had been made an admin was so damn awesome it made me remember to come back on the site :P. I was actually split on whether you should be an admin, not because you didn't deserve it but because you stood out so much as a user that I thought if you became an admin suddenly the standards would drop through the floor (the third floor, mind [I am also hoping that that bad metaphor I just made actually made sense there]) for the people marked "non-sysop" xD. That's not saying that the other users are bad because you and I know it's not true, but your writings were (and still are of course) so annoyingly outstanding xD Anyway yes I am officially returned with a vengeance, I hope you're well, down with the soviet union and all that [1]MyMetalFaggletalk 10:23, 13 Aym 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! Good to see you back. --THE 17:17, 14 Aym 2009 (UTC)

SECKS!! $5 A POP. ROLLUP ROLLUP!!

Contrary to that, this isn't blatent whoring. I was just wondering if you would read A Bar of Soap and tell me if it's any good? This isn't for featuring or anything, I just wondered what you thought.

this message is dedicated to Mrs. R.M. Ballsack, who died late last night in a Pregnant Woman's Football League match. --Testostereich • (ballsack) 10:21, 16 Aym 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I'll take a look, no probs. I've read a bit of it and it's pretty intriguing so far! I'll read the rest and let you know what I think this afternoon. --THE 11:24, 16 Aym 2009 (UTC)

Just saw your comments, :D thanks for reading it I wouldn't normally ask, but yeah, I wondered if any one liked it/it was ok etc. Thanks. --Testostereich • (ballsack) 11:55, 17 Aym 2009 (UTC)

EPIC? NO WAY!?!?!?!?!?

Thanks man. I can't believe you have 22 epics and I only have one... You bastard --T3 00:14, 18 Aym 2009 (UTC)

Oh yeah, it definitely kwalifies as an EPIC. --THE 11:13, 18 Aym 2009 (UTC)

My two cents for the day

This user is ANNOYINGLY GOOD AT WRITING EPICS because I'm not sure if you realised it enough. See more of his stuff

Yeah. Also, would you be interesed in helping me move my bath downstairs? I need an extra pair of hands and it does have a very attractive stain at the bottom. --Testostereich • (ballsack) 14:17, 18 Aym 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! I'm afraid I can't help you move your bathtub because I can only move objects that start with the letter J. It's a rare medical condition. If you wanted to move, say, a jathtub, I could help you out. --THE 16:06, 18 Aym 2009 (UTC)

Aww jammit! --Testostereich • (ballsack) 16:18, 18 Aym 2009 (UTC)

Hey hey

Jeff Houser - i really don't remember undeleting that, i've just got back from holiday and looking at it your decision made sense, so i dunno what i was going on :P anyway yeah, it's all been resolved, the hens are in the musher and my ring is sore. Good job. --Testostereich • (ballsack) 17:20, 26 Aym 2009 (UTC)

Yay

You wrote an article, you edited, I'm off to bed. It's all good. Nighty night man, I'm off for a stream of unconciousness myself. --Testostereich • (ballsack) 23:00, 31 Aym 2009 (UTC)

Yes indeed, It's good to be backckkc. G'nite! --THE 23:15, 31 Aym 2009 (UTC)

Possible vandal?

I think we caught him early.

He's only made one edit but he did this to my article NASA.

What he did

wefrgb <a href=" http://33zone.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=123 ">pittsburgh gay pride</a> wegrtdhnf <a href=" http://33zone.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=124 ">his first gay cock</a>

He deleted the entire page.

Thankfully, I reverted it within 10 minutes but.. BLOCKAGE?

--T3 00:23, 1 Yoon 2009 (UTC)

Thanks fer pointing that out. BANNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! --THE 01:16, 1 Yoon 2009 (UTC)

Speaking of your adminship, do you think it's about time to change the featured article? —rms talk 02:07, 1 Yoon 2009 (UTC)

Yup, I'll change it, or at least I'll try. I haven't done it before, so hopefully I won't accidentally break the internet in the process. --THE 17:10, 3 Yoon 2009 (UTC)

Ello

Do you like My idea? I want someone, like an admin, to help support it and convince the other users. Do you think you can participate? —rms talk 21:33, 8 Yoon 2009 (UTC)

I like the idea, but the last time we tried doing a "top ten articles of the year" vote, it ended up slowly grinding to an awkward, unsatisfying hault. But hey, I guess we could try it and see what happens. --THE 00:16, 9 Yoon 2009 (UTC)

Yes. I'm trying to make this more official, sort of like Uncyc. Hopefully we can get people to vote and get something finished here. If it gets done, then I'll make a little template like Uncyc to put on the articles. —rms talk 00:28, 9 Yoon 2009 (UTC)

Okay. Why don't you start a forum topic about it (unless you'd like me to)? I could put a link to it in the sitenotice if I can figure out how to edit it (FAIL!). Also, you should put a link to it in the news section of the main page if you haven't already, cuz that'll get a lot of people's attentionz. --THE 00:33, 9 Yoon 2009 (UTC)

I did. I made it in my userspace, and I made the thing really big in the news template. —rms talk 00:39, 9 Yoon 2009 (UTC)

Oh good. I knew I should have checked the news page before telling you that. Okay, well hopefully more people will turn up to vote and/or nominate then have so far. I'm gonna vote myself, but I'll have to think about my votes more. That's probably why turnout was low the first time. While it's an awesome idea to have a vote, it's pretty tough to pick out your faves when there are so many kwalified choices. --THE 00:41, 9 Yoon 2009 (UTC)

Ya, I know, but we can't have people have too many votes. I said five, but I think we need more. And note how that would be five per year. —rms talk 00:44, 9 Yoon 2009 (UTC)

Also, do you think you can vote for regular VFF? It's been really really slow lately. —rms talk 18:27, 9 Yoon 2009 (UTC)

Yup --THE 21:37, 9 Yoon 2009 (UTC)

Alright, nice. Check this out and tell me if you like it better than what we have now. —rms talk 21:55, 9 Yoon 2009 (UTC)

Dunno. I don't think there's anything wrong with the current featured articles page. On the other hand, yours is fine too. I suppose that's rather unhelpful, but I think either way of listing features would be fine (then again, there is the old saying "If it ain't broken, don't fix it!") --THE 22:05, 9 Yoon 2009 (UTC)

Ya, they way we have it does its job fine, but I don't like the way it's organized. Also, when you scroll down and they're all different lengths, that makes me go all screwy. But that's just me. I might have to ask Seppy or Hindles, cause I think the one I made (Well, copied from uncyc) is easier to go through, and it's alphabetized. —rms talk 22:11, 9 Yoon 2009 (UTC)

I don't know if you noticed, but a couple of your articles have been nommed in my Top Ten thing. I don't know if you're one of those people who will go in there and vote for their articles alone, not vote at all, or use all six of your votes, but I was just tellng you so you knew. —rms talk 16:46, 17 Yoon 2009 (UTC)

Hey again

I keep dropping in to this website 3 times a day, just like mealtime, but I'm at a loss for what to write. It's odd because this place used to be so comfortable. My four 'crazy thoughts' articles were spun here, which became Dear Diary over on Uncle Pete. But other than one cheeky poem, my muse appears to have dried up... at least here. There, I'm doing news reports, music, blowing the dust of my stacks of forgotten articles. But I'll keep popping in. --The Bard of Illogicopedia File:TinyQuill.gif 22:53, 12 Yoon 2009 (UTC)

That happens sometimes. It's odd that one can have creative slumps for a site as open as this, but it happens. It's been forever since I came up with an idea for an EPIC, and there have been prolonged stretches in the past where i was totally unable to come up with anything. It'll pass eventually. Also, I'd reccomend trying to come up with ideas late at night, when you're really exhausted, just before you fall asleep. I've found that to be a good time for creative thought, both on uncyclopedia and here. --THE 13:56, 13 Yoon 2009 (UTC)

Heheh, no problem. I carried out my duty the best I could, with appropriate firmness and stiffness. --THE 15:33, 16 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

"a less extreme rewriting of this rule, to follow previous community discussion"?

Where'd this discussion happen? I'm not saying your revision is worse or better, just wanting to know.

I did think the fun-house mirror analogy was a good one, though perhaps it ought not to belong there precisely, but more as a suggestion perhaps? --Nerd42 14:04, 20 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

The discussion happened in the Seven Commandments Talk. In the discussion, I said that I disagreed with the rule, and I later said that the rule shouldn't be applied to articles that are subtly persuasive but still entertaining. Hindley said the rule should be applied on a case-by-case basis as opposed to an absolute ban on persuasiveness. Testes said he really enjoys EPIC articles that have a subtle persuasive edge, and also said it should be applied on a case-by-case basis. Since three admins had essentially said that not all persuasive articles are automatically bad, I rewrote the rule so it definitely applied to blatant persuasiveness (such as political ranting) but didn't automatically apply to light-hearted comedy, satire, or surreal statements about human nature. Cheese stick! --THE 14:16, 20 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

OK, I have posted my thoughts on Illogicopedia_talk:Commandments. I hope they will be taken into consideration even though of course this is a community effort/decision and I, of course, am not above the rules agreed upon by the community. I don't think what you actually wrote matches the intention you just stated and my "fun house mirror" analogy did a much better job. --Nerd42 15:21, 20 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

Question

Why don't you edit Ucyclopedia anymore? You're a really great writer, especially for UnNews over there. Is there any reason why you edit here and not there? —rms talk 23:31, 20 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

Well, I basically came to realize that I was spending a lot of time on uncyclopedia. Probably more time than I should have been spending. I decided to lay off it for a while so I'd have more time for other stuff, and that kinda led to an extended break from it, basically. I had a lot of important, real-world things to tend to. I do try to pop in and write new UnNews articles eventually, and I can say with confidence that my days of writing for uncyclopedia aren't over. But I find illogicopedia a lot less time-consuming while retaining all (possibly more) of the fun of uncyclopedia. It's so cozy here. I love writing whatever bizarre musing pops into my head over the course of a day. So yeah, at the moment I'm just preferring illogicopedia's more mellow, casual vibe as opposed to the constant pressure to "be funny!" over at uncyc. I'll be back at uncyc though, I'm sure. At the very least you can expect more random unnews articles at random points in the future. That's my rambling, slightly vague answer. On another note, I'm glad you enjoy the stuff I wrote there, and thank you for the komplement. --THE 23:52, 20 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I get what you're saying. That's why I like ?pedia as well, it's just so much esaier to write here. If you have even a crappy idea, odds are it won't get deleted, as opposed to Uncyc where it more than likely will get deleted. Yeah, but by far my favorite unsrcipts are the Grass in the Mist series. Funnier than hell, man. You're a dman genius. —rms talk 23:59, 20 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

?pedia rules, for reasons stated above. :) --Nerd42 15:25, 21 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

Anyone want to collab with me? Or will I have to stick with Readmesoon for all of my collaboration needs? --T3 17:45, 28 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

Testes -- No, I didn't really have anything specific in mind. I just figured it would be fun, but haven't given much thought to concepts yet.

T3canolis -- sure, I could collab with you on somethin if you want. --THE 17:51, 28 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

I'm thinkin' maybe an EPIC. I already have one going but I put that on the backburner. I think maybe an EPIC having to do with spontaneous combustion. I dunno why. It's a funneh subject. --T3 17:56, 28 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

Way to Hijack the point T3. Anyway THE I'm thinking if I go into specifics now it'll just cause a mental overload due to too many collabs (I assume anyway, recently I had ideas to turn into articles and because of their number I couldn't decide which one to do and subsequentially nothing happened.)

Anyway, I'll lay down some ideas at some point, and see what you think. But whatever, no rush. Testostereich • (ballsack) 18:08, 28 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

P.S. It'll be jokes :P Testostereich • (ballsack) 18:15, 28 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

Dammit

This thing was such an exciting idea when you brought it up earlier, and together we could make an article so sweet it would be immediately seized and destroyed by worried sugar companies.

The question for some reason I feel a bit annoying for bringing up. Do you want to write a story, or a more encyclopedic article? I'm up for either. And when I said "No rush" I was trying to take any perceived pressure off, but I'm really up for this, so if you want to start it fairly spontaneously that'd be amazing. Testostereich • (ballsack) 18:28, 28 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

Let's do a story, shall we? I haven't written one in awhile and I bet we could come up with something pretty nifty. I haven't written, or even conceived an EPIC since Man With Toad On Head back in May. I'm a bit dry of concepts for EPIC stories though. I suppose we could just start making something up, or perhaps we could brainstorm here first... --THE 18:53, 28 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

That's the spirit! I've got some ideas upstairs, I thought they might be cool to brainstorm, but it might turn out just making it up as we go along could be best. It might be an idea to find an issue we both want to tackle, but whatever. Anyway, dinner time! Testostereich • (ballsack) 18:58, 28 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

We can start with a brainstorm, and if we don't find any ideas we both like, we can abandon preconceived concepts and improvise something. Or we could outline a vague, general concept for a plot and then improvise the actual details of the story. Also finding an issue we'd both like to do would be cool, satire is always a blast to write. But then again, so is totally random goofiness. In the realm of satire/issues, it might be interesting to do a parody of "reality" television. That's one idea I had kickin' around. I had another one which I forgot :/. But yeah, wot are some of the ideas you've been cookin? This is gonna be shweeeeet! --THE 19:06, 28 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

I like that plan. (That if these ideas don't cut the mustard we could work from a general outline, also, I don't think I've wrote a properly satirical article before, at least not one i can remember)

Righto, the ideas. These have been upstairs next to my big ol' box of drawings for some time, so it's about time they saw the light of day. Some of them are a bit specific, but if you choose any to do any of them we can easily change the idea. At least this should give us a starting point. There are quite a few of them because I tend to come up with an idea, think up a way to start/end it and then leave it. I'm rambling. On with the ideas!

Idea 1

I had this weird idea for an epic a while back that revolved around two guys playing a board game about "Running a Country", the drive being one player starts losing and holds a coup, rewriting the games rules to encompass real life and somehow becoming a dictator or something. As I said, bit weird.

Idea 2

This one's delightfully vague. Just something about a character afterlife, i.e. what happens to characters in these EPICs once they've served their purpose.

Idea 3

The narrator, an annoying celebrity-status seeking website owner leaves a tape recorder under a park bench or something, with "highlight generating technology" helping pick out the best bits. Somehow it would ideally come full circle.

Idea 4

There were more, but they didn't seem that appealing anymore when I wrote them down. This one was just generally about a petty argument that escalates into epic proportions, e.g. over a remote control or something.

So yeah, I'm not really in the right frame of mind for writing now (which sucks!) but there's some ideas. What do you think? Testostereich • (ballsack) 19:29, 28 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

That's a pretty sweet reservoir of ideas. Okay, so here's my thoughts on each: IDEA UNO: It's a good idea, but it seems by far to be the most specific and least open-ended of the ones here. IDea TwoO: I bet this could potentially be quite interesting. It's sort of similar in concept to a story that I abandoned, The Main Character. I'll think about this 'un. IDEA THR##33EE: This sounds sweet. I suppose this narrator wants to record the everyday lives of people then release it commercially? Hey, I like it. What if the guy actually follows everyday people around with a video camera, then actually barges in to their conversations, making suggestions and baffling them completely? Maybe a husband and wife are arguing, and the guy barges in and asks them to scream louder or something. Or perhaps he deliberately leads a mugger to a potential victim because he knows it'll be good TV. Anyway, he'd repeatedly manipulate people in to bad situations because he'd think of it as "entertaining." Then, perhaps there'd be a twist where it turns out that he was the one getting manipulated, and all the people he videotaped were simply actors who were pretending to be civilians for the purpose of revealing how much a douche he was. IDEA FO: this one sounds potentially hilarious. A bit limited but it also leaves room for creativity and bizarreness. Okay, looks like we're off to a good start thus far. I liked idea 3 the best, I think, but they all have potential. --THE 19:49, 28 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

Woo, idea three was the one I'd had most enthusiasm for when I came up with it. Your development of it totally blows the idea into epic proportions, what I'd originally envisioned wasn't as good and almost impossible to carry out. He could actually tape the mouths shut/shoot/clear people from an area because they don't appeal to "the market". The police inevitably should come on to him but that could, in his eyes be all part of his plan, i.e. to make an entertaining special episode, commentating to the camera as he's kicked repeatedly by inmates. And then manipulating the unamused inmates themselves, generally ending in an array of boo boos. Do you have big brother over in America by any chance? (not the George Orwel book) Testostereich • (ballsack) 19:57, 28 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

Yup. I think we might have had it before you guys. I dunno. We're on like season 10 or something. And also, the George Orwell book is called "1984" not Big Brother. Good book. --T3 20:11, 28 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

Alright Testes, it looks like we've got ourselves a concept! And indeed an EPIC one. I'm ready to jump in on that one if you are. --THE 20:22, 28 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

:D I'm actually excited. I just want to finish 28 minutes so I don't leave another WIP lying around and then we'll do this. Do you want to start it or shall I? Testostereich • (ballsack) 20:34, 28 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

I'm excited too! This is gonna be fun. I guess I'll start it, once we're both ready. So yeah, you go ahead and finish 28 minutes (which is good so far by the way) and while you're doing that I'll write a short little article called Celebrity Poop Collectors that's been floating in my head for a while. Then we can get started! Lemme know when you're ready! --THE 20:40, 28 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

Woop, I'm done. Awesome, alright, let's lock and load. Testostereich • (ballsack) 21:01, 28 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

Okaaaay! I've got a beginning in my head, but first, you got any preference for a title? --THE 21:09, 28 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

Sweet, title I'm having a hard time coming up. Probably the name of his fictional show, which I'm not overly ideas'ed up on, so far I've got "People do the Funniest Things"? Testostereich • (ballsack) 21:12, 28 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

I'll create it as "People do the Funniest Things!" and we can change the title if we come up with something we like better. Here goes! --THE 21:14, 28 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

Okay, I started it! I introduced the main character and the concept of his TV show. Feel free to change around whatever you want in that first section and to kontinue the story. --THE 21:39, 28 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

What you wrote was good, I've got this great manic energy about this, I haven't had it since Penglish. Saying that, are my additions satisfactory oh definitive one? Testostereich • (ballsack) 22:10, 28 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

*sigh* Mr THE, where have you gone? Anyway I'll probably be off soon, and assuming you had things to do and weren't just too horrified by my edits to continue, contribute to it later, after you have. Happy head hunting! Testostereich • (ballsack) 23:08, 28 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

Sorry about that! I had to go out and I rather stupidly forgot to say so. But yeah, your addition is awesome. I've got a scene that I'm itching to write, which I will do tomorrow morning. --THE 23:55, 28 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

Well, I added my new scene, though it didn't turn out quite as good as I'd hoped. But yeeh, go ahead and add your next bit (and change mine at will if you want to) whenever yer ready/awake (curse you, time-zone differences!!!!111) --THE 11:53, 29 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

I'll see what I can do, and then see what i can really do :D I was unexpectedly accosted by life today, hence my abcense Testostereich • (ballsack) 22:41, 29 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

For some reason, what you wrote just then, to me, didn't overly hit. Which is weird for you, only ever happened with Melville 3 & 4 to my mind, so I spent a lot of time building on the bit just after my edit, adding to and modifying into yours. I hope that's ok? Maybe you waited too long to write the ideas down and it lost the awesome juice it had in your brain at that point. Testostereich • (ballsack) 23:58, 29 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

Also, I was thinking, it was probably about time we started introducing the overall story arch COMMENT BOMBARDMENT! Testostereich • (ballsack) 00:01, 30 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

Yeah I wasn't too happy with the park bench bit. I definitely waited too long before writing it, and lost the spark for that particular scene. Oh well, I got a better one planned. I'll take a look at your edits tomorrow, because tonight Illogicopedia is barely working for me (it took about twelve years just to load the login page). -THE 00:31, 30 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

Okay! I got two new short scenes that kinda flow in to each other. Still no overall story arch added though, it's just Chuck doing ridiculous stuff still. I suppose we could do the arrest/prison part fairly soon, which should be hilarious. --THE 11:38, 30 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

Take that time difference! I'm feeling that, we could spin this out for laffs endlessly but then we'd lose our point, it is really about time we started the arrest. I'm feeling the arrest should be the ploy of the story arch, not obviously, but like, more than him just getting arrested. Elements of the wider show slowly coming in but not to his or the readers proper knowledge (unless they're reading this) maybe weird familiarities and the odd realisation his cell mates are wearing make up? Nice work. Testostereich • (ballsack) 11:42, 30 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

Who ordered pizza? --Ben the rent pizza boy

Oh okay testes I gotcha. Yeah, on my next edit round I'll add some hints about the wider show to the parts I've already got, or you can add them on your next edit if you want. --THE 12:11, 30 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

Well I was going to take a much needed bath, and then go on an inspirational walk. How the hell it got to quarter past 1 I have no idea. But yeah, you can add the hints to your stuff because I'm too lazy :P and because why not, you'll know what to do. I'll probably add the arrest when I get back. Testostereich • (ballsack) 12:15, 30 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

Okay, excellent! --THE 12:17, 30 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

Illogicopedia is so slow, wish I knew why.

Anywho

I've added the arrest. I think it breaks the tone nicely. That's what I think anyway, tell me if you think I'm wrong. Saw you on digg last night (was weirdly on uncyc and saw the link from your userpage), you are most well protected from paedophiles, I salute you. Testostereich • (ballsack) 15:09, 30 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, the arrest indeed does break the tone well. I'll add some more now, but I'm going away for the weekend so this might be my last contribution to the article until next Tuesday. Perhaps. I might very well have time to edit more later today, but if not I'll see ya next week. Also, are you on digg? If so, friend me! --THE 13:08, 31 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

I'm still setting up digg but yeah, will do ^_^ I've pulled a scene out of my butt now so you have time to add one before you go (if you feel like it) Testostereich • (ballsack) 15:00, 31 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

Happy Holidays! Testostereich • (ballsack) 15:15, 31 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! :) I'll add more before I leave if I have time, and if not I'll add more when I get back. --THE 15:24, 31 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

I wasn't too happy with how I wrote that last scene so I've completely rejigged it, but otherwise it's just tha same, and hopefully just as welcoming for you when you get back. I drew you a picture daddy :P

I hath returned. That's a lovely drawing! I shall read your reinvigorated scene/contribute more either later tonight or tomorrow. --THE 20:57, 4 Ergust 2009 (UTC)

Also, before I start my next bit, I was thinkin about where the story ought to go next. There definitely ought to be some sort of insane climax before he finds out the truth, but I'm at a loss when it comes to coming up with that climax. Perhaps it could happen in the prison. What do you think? --THE 11:20, 5 Ergust 2009 (UTC)

I'm thinking if you didn't live the other side of the atlantic ocean we'd plan this over a drink. But yeah, I'd always envisioned a climax as well, I'm thinking as soon as it does climax someone should yell "Cut!" and start milling about, camera mans etc. But as for the actual climax I'm drawing a blank, does he gain ultimate control, or is his dream shattered in some culmination of story points? I'll think on it, but I'm out of needless trips to the football club which brings it's inspirational gallons of diet coke. Something like the other characters actively join in and ruin his dream, making it into a boring program or something? (while he desperately claws for fading control) Have a good time on holiday? Testostereich • (ballsack) 12:07, 5 Ergust 2009 (UTC)

I like the idea of everyone else turning it in to a boring program! Perhaps he tries to make the prisoners have a violent, gory battle with each other, but they keep turning it in to a discussion about poetry or Charles Dickens or something. We should have another brainstorming sesh on this. And yeah I had a good time on holiday, though I got ambushed by mosquitos. One of them was a few feet long. Actually, that one was a beaver. I wasn't wearing glasses at the time. --THE 17:47, 5 Ergust 2009 (UTC)

That'd be cool, but I'm feeeling it should lull him into a false sense of security before it slowly saps his dream away. How about they do what he wants initially, so he happily crawls up into his feces laden corner to sleep, wakes up in the middle of the night to find out they've given it a boring daytime TV soap-like subtext involving the prison cooks and general prisoners, with horrible wooden acting yadda yadda, and have deleted all his previous footage? That was just for the sake of giving an idea, but it might be cool to work this out on IRC sometime. Which is annyoing because I go on holiday late tommorow night for a week :P so sorry. I'm glad you had fun, but, you wear glasses? This is a tragedy. THE can't wear glaasses! It means my picture was inaccurate, and since I generally tend to automatically assume everyone on the internet is a handsome eloquent looking guy with a shirt hanging off their frame for bourgéois it's probably going to annoy me for a while. --Testostereich • (ballsack) 21:16, 5 Ergust 2009 (UTC)

I usually wear contacts, but I didn't bring 'em on vacation, just the old glasses. So your mental image of me isn't completely ruined, you'll just have to change the way you picture me on holiday :P. I consider myself rather indistinct looking, the sort of person you don't notice in a room, or you mistake for a coat rack. I've had girls tell me I'm good lookin' before, but then again I've also had girls walk in to the room and hang their coats on me. Anyway, I reckon we can sort the article out when you get back, no worries. Although I should let ya know that around the 23rd/24th I'll be moving, and after that I'm anticipating that I'm gonna be quite busy with real life stuffs. It could quite possibly lead to a rather substantial drop in my activity on ?pedia, at least for a while while I get my bearings and so forth. --THE 23:37, 5 Ergust 2009 (UTC)

Let's make that our target then. Though my picture of you may be altered I'll take salvage in the fact my standards are low ;) Good luck with the move. Testostereich • (ballsack) 09:21, 6 Ergust 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! Lemme know when yer back and I'll look for you on IRK. --THE 14:00, 10 Ergust 2009 (UTC)

H'okay

Awwright, I'm back. I've had a couple of days to readjust and reaffirm my tyrranical grip on fridge politics, and now I'm ready. Ready to RUEL TEH WOLRD finish that article with you in the most epic fashion possible. I suggest we plan it tomorrow, sound good? Testostereich • (ballsack) 20:20, 16 Ergust 2009 (UTC)

Sounds good! I won't be around in teh afternoon tomorrow, but I'll be on before then. --THE 21:30, 16 Ergust 2009 (UTC)

One man's afternoon is another man's morning. You hear me? Basically, you live in a different time zone so that gives me no help whatsoever :P Testostereich • (ballsack) 22:52, 16 Ergust 2009 (UTC)

I'll just keep signing on to IRK and lurking over the course of the day. I'm bound to bump in to you eventually. --THE 00:23, 17 Ergust 2009 (UTC)

Well I've been periodically popping in to IRK and lurking. Seems I've been consistently missing you. I'm leaving Monday (!!!!), soooo if we don't get it done by then, it'll probably end up on hold for a while. We'll still get it done eventually though. --THE 01:19, 21 Ergust 2009 (UTC)

THE!!!! THEEE!!!!!!! Change the feature now! —rms talk 01:28, 21 Ergust 2009 (UTC)

I have no idea how to change the feature with this baffling new main page... --THE 19:09, 22 Ergust 2009 (UTC)

BAN ME IF YOU WANT JUST NOT MORE THAN A MONTH!

You can't just ban T3 just because he has an opinion on someone's articles! I call foul! There's other people you should be using your admin powers on, such as actuals VANDALS! Even though you are my favourite ?pedia author i'm gonna have to say in the defense of T3canolis, YOU SUCK! (sorry) -- ₪ Ragglefraggleking ₪ Is ₪ Eating ₪ Your ₪ Bagels 16:27, 2 Serpeniver 2009 (UTC)

Also, T3 was right about Pichywhatevermacallit! all his articles are useless pamming of mudkips and flashing GIFs! He was simply pointing that out, with the use of obscene words! AH! --R F FLIPPING K!

There's a difference between expressing an opinion and just being cruel. Some of pipichy's articles are a bit spammy but Nonsensical Table of the Elements is frankly quite entertaining in a random sort of way. T3's rant on pipichy's talk page was counterproductive, insulting, and totally uncalled for. Illogicopedia is supposed to be a place where writers are free to write pretty much whatever they want. Some of my early articles were absolute crap. And if someone had treated me as a n00b the way T3 is treating pipichy, I would've left instantly. I would've been angered and upset, and consequently Melville Amsterdam and all my other bizarre writings would never have come into existence. I don't want to come across as some sort of abusive dictator but I don't like senseless bullying. --THE 16:35, 2 Serpeniver 2009 (UTC)

On an unrelated note, do i still have my phantom powers, cuz i dont see the ghost option in page historys anymore. If i dont can i have it back. Thanks. -- ₪ Ragglefraggleking ₪ Is ₪ Eating ₪ Your ₪ Bagels 16:39, 2 Serpeniver 2009 (UTC)

Some of pipichy's articles are pretty entertaining. I especially enjoy "nonsensical table of the elements" which is amusingly ridiculous and incoherent. I've already made my opinions clear about t3's actions. As for the unrelated note, I have no idea what happened to your phantom powers, try maybe asking silent penguin? I guess I'll see if I can figure it out but I don't know much about that particular aspect of the site. --THE 16:43, 2 Serpeniver 2009 (UTC)

It says in my preferences that i still have them, but i dont see they option ghost stuff anymore. And i miss it. :( -- ₪ Ragglefraggleking ₪ Is ₪ Eating ₪ Your ₪ Bagels 16:45, 2 Serpeniver 2009 (UTC)

Hey

I haven't been on in a while, neither have you. Anyway while I don't edit much at the moment I still ghost the site like a creepy uncle, checking round the corner every so often to see if any chuldren have become snared in my trap cleverly disguised as a VFF nomination. So basically when you're back into it again I'll be there and we can tear this article apart like an erotic nuclear warhead through butter. Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Testostereich • (ballsack) 02:19, 1 Serpeniver 2009 (UTC)

Howdy! I've been pretty busy over here but I'll definitely let you know when I can commit again. I'll try to pop in periodically like you've been doing instead of vanishing completely. See ya! --THE 16:16, 2 Serpeniver 2009 (UTC)

About bannage

I just wanted to say I whole-heartedly agree with you banning me because what I did was 100% out of line; no questions asked. Re-reading what I said I realized what I really said. I called someone I've never even met in my life a "useless shit".

So THE, I want to let you know that I don't want you to go down as the bad guy in all of this and hey, can we still be friends? --T3 20:44, 3 Serpeniver 2009 (UTC)

Of course we can still be friends! Your apology to him was mature and thoughtful and I thank you for it. *hugs t3canolis* no worries man. --THE 01:26, 4 Serpeniver 2009 (UTC)

I do have a final word of advice. This isn't so much a rule as it is a suggestion. Be supportive! Even if a user does appear to be very young. Even if the user doesn't make articles that are necessarily "constructive." Remember that this is illogicopedia. Constructiveness doesn't matter. It's about fun, creativity, and letting your inner surrealist ramblings/semicoherent gibberish freely flow without fear of deletion/excessive quality control. Also, we don't have n00bs showing up very often, so when we do get a n00b I recommend kindness and supportiveness so they'll stay with us. So yeah. Thanks again for apologizing to him. --THE 01:31, 4 Serpeniver 2009 (UTC)

Pipichy stuff

I'm a blunt person. I know I'm completely wrong for what I've done and I'm not trying to justify it in any way, shape or form. I'm going to be completely honest with you, because I don't like to lie about why I do things. The only reason I did those things you put on my talk page is because I'm hoping Pipichy would read them and realize that I hate him and he should GTFO. Having said that, I know I shouldn't be doing that and I know I'm wrong and blah blah blah. I'll try to stop but I just can't stand him. I'm sorry for making you have to go through this problem to take away my douchebag edits and such. I guess now it's no secret I hate him but he hasn't even made reference to that fact that I hate him, though. So I hope that you as an admin don't put me on your "Watch out for" list and such because I've never really had any trouble until this.

So in the end, it doesn't even matter. I had to fall to lose it all. But in the end it doesn't even matter. --T3 23:47, 17 Serpeniver 2009 (UTC)

I lost all respect for you after reading that last line. --JonTehSexyMofo 00:13, 18 Serpeniver 2009 (UTC)

T3: I realize you're a blunt person. But you've got to respect other users. Would you want some other user proclaiming their hate for you at random intervals? Or would you want them making constructive, friendly suggestions? So control yourself and control your blunt impulses. --THE 06:04, 18 Serpeniver 2009 (UTC)

Yeah! Nobody proclaims their hate for younat random intervals here! --Ben ^Blade 06:13, 18 Serpeniver 2009 (UTC)

I'm not getting angry at you at all nor am I telling you to change but I've never actually listened to those, "What would you think if they did that to you" things. I know I shouldn't be proclaiming how much I hate him randomly but... what do you want me to say? If I swear I'll never do anything showing I hate Pipichy again then I'm a liar because I know I will do something no matter how minuscule. Oh well... I'll just save my hate for IRC (assuming Pipichy doesn't get a client). --T3 20:58, 18 Serpeniver 2009 (UTC)

For some reason all my mp3 icons have become traffic cones

That aside, whenever you want to finish the epic, i mean if you still want to (I do) I'm up/down for it. :D And a while back I was trawling through something on the site when I came across your Allman Brother's Band Whipping Post endurance article, having had the "lame five minute version" for some time now I'm downloading the 20 minute one, so cheers Testostereich • (ballsack) 20:48, 18 Serpeniver 2009 (UTC)

I indeed do still want to finish the epic. I've got loads of reading to do for this weekend sooo I'm not sure if I'll have the time. I'll try to pop on to irk anyway (although last time I tried on the school's wireless network, irk wouldn't load). Also if you like the 20 minute version, check out "you don't love me" from Live at Fillmore East. It's another 20+ minute jam that I think is better than whipping post, although who knows how that will be effected when its icon becomes a traffic cone. --THE 21:36, 18 Serpeniver 2009 (UTC)

I just tried irk and it worked. I'm on now (probably won't be on for long cuz I'm heading to dinner soon). But yeah, if you're online at the moment and you happen to see this, come on in to IRK and we'll have extremely passionate cybersex talk about the epic artikle. --THE 22:03, 18 Serpeniver 2009 (UTC)
