haha Okay, the next time I comment here and send him a message I will be more polite. I think that seems to be the direction you are advising. I will take a day off from here as well.
Poz 2015-02-06T02:12:47-05:00
But it is late and I have to go to sleep. Bye!
Kerry "Iron Wolf" 2015-02-06T02:13:17-05:00
Later Poz! :D
"Diamond Dan" Drake 2015-02-06T02:13:30-05:00
Good news is, you've at least got ME turned around that you're not a troll :)
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-06T02:13:40-05:00
Perhaps too late, but @Poz, are you located in the USA?
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-06T02:13:44-05:00
@Poz, I think that will go a long way to helping you cause. Remember, you will attract more flies with honey than you will with vinegar. :)
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-06T02:14:13-05:00
@Poz, good night!
"Diamond Dan" Drake 2015-02-06T02:14:38-05:00
Well, that was nice. :)
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-06T02:15:08-05:00
Sometimes it's nice to just have a real conversation without the continual silly posts interrupting.
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-06T02:16:02-05:00
It certainly went better than it usually does. To think, of he was a little more even headed and less demanding all of this would could have been avoided.
Kerry "Iron Wolf" 2015-02-06T02:16:20-05:00
Oops... Double messaged..
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-06T02:16:38-05:00
My next question, and forgive me, but is English your first language? Because I get the odd sense from your phrasing it isn't, and that could lead to some of the perceived issues here.
Kerry "Iron Wolf" 2015-02-06T02:17:22-05:00
Later Poz! :D
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-06T02:17:45-05:00
@Poz. The first sentence of your article proves my point. ;)
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-06T02:19:24-05:00
Well done, all! Victory for everyone!
"Diamond Dan" Drake 2015-02-06T02:19:29-05:00
Well, sometimes people need more than a single sentence to get a point across. And it's not that it's a ridiculous concern for a single backer, it's more that he's outnumbered pretty intensely and has only been working against himself.
Experiencing Life to the Fullest-Da Wolf 2015-02-06T02:20:15-05:00
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-06T02:20:39-05:00
I agree, Dan

excellent work, DDD!!
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-06T02:21:29-05:00
Those are pretty sweet!
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-06T02:22:23-05:00
@DDD, those are fantastic!
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-06T02:22:24-05:00
I managed to finish about a quarter of mine today, which I think is pretty good.
Kerry "Iron Wolf" 2015-02-06T02:22:47-05:00

Gaaahhhg! Creeper! You just kinda snuck up on me there, didn't ya?!
Kerry "Iron Wolf" 2015-02-06T02:23:52-05:00
Every time I reload the page.. It says that "later Poz" again.... Pls me, stop posting that..
"Diamond Dan" Drake 2015-02-06T02:24:35-05:00
@Iron Wolf - Yes, what did you do?
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-06T02:24:48-05:00
@DDD, I respect your ability to cut through the BS with him. I didn't have the patience for it and couldn't see beyond his ultimatums.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-06T02:24:56-05:00
Very nice work, DDD, we all appreciate your style and commitment.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-06T02:25:09-05:00
I opted out of the Poz discussion, but watched. Sorry to startle you all! All i've accomplished today was doctor, miniworkout, and telling people on twitter they're posting incorrectly.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-06T02:26:02-05:00
but it's 2:30 am. sleep must be had.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-06T02:26:12-05:00
My day was made when the EK team favorited my "my kitten killed me" picture ...
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-06T02:26:25-05:00
@Creeper, for dedication to purity on the #update9 front is commendable. :)
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-06T02:26:46-05:00
That was a lot of work, though. All around, it's been a busy day for us
Kerry "Iron Wolf" 2015-02-06T02:26:48-05:00
@Diamond Dan, when I reload my page it says I posted a previous message again. I think I fixed it.
"Diamond Dan" Drake 2015-02-06T02:27:50-05:00
Thanks all. :) That may have to be the bulk of my contribution for the day. A couple new pics for the page, an attempt to reign in Poz. (Though I did still want to ask him if I could make a PozTroll character...)
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-06T02:29:42-05:00
If you do make a PozTroll, use a Pez dispenser as the template. Open mouth, and out comes the same damn question again.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-06T02:29:56-05:00
Let's hope he remembers what he learned today.
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-06T02:30:41-05:00
Agreed. Time will tell.
+1 on Pez dispenser idea!
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-06T02:30:48-05:00
And your self restraint in not asking a question that surely would have derailed the whole conversation is commendable.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-06T02:32:17-05:00
BTW, in my "my kitten killed me" picture, said cat is Rowena Ravenclaw, an abandoned kitty I picked up on the roadside a few years ago; and the skeleton is Leonard (Bones) McCoy ("Dammit Jim, I'm a skeleton, not a doctor").
"Diamond Dan" Drake 2015-02-06T02:32:36-05:00
hehe @Jeff - maybe I could just call it the Peztroll, the concept could be "inspired" by these interactions, but the guy did just made strides in de-sullying (is that a word?) his name.
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-06T02:33:33-05:00
@GCD, that is all sorts of awesome. :)
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-06T02:34:00-05:00
@DDD, if it isn't a word it should be.
Josh Kirven 2015-02-06T02:34:07-05:00
Ok so where are we on the stretch goals achievements?
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-06T02:34:22-05:00
It's a word now, DDD. GCoD, what's your twitter handle? I want to see this pic
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-06T02:35:18-05:00
on Twitter I am @GreatCaneofDoom....
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-06T02:35:51-05:00
@Josh, when they stopped for the day, they were counting up potato cat entries, and had only received two elegible goat selfies
"Diamond Dan" Drake 2015-02-06T02:36:10-05:00
@LZ - Hey, Peztroll concept might even fit in with the comic story, if helpful at all.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-06T02:36:58-05:00
five more people until 138K, then I'm off to bed ...
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-06T02:37:43-05:00
PezTroll is Pez dispenser blended with a BoxTroll ... open mouth, out comes repeated question
"Diamond Dan" Drake 2015-02-06T02:37:50-05:00
@Jeff - I noticed you didn't specify where you got a human skeleton... o_0
:P
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-06T02:38:18-05:00
I was just trying to think of a way to squeeze it in. It could be one of the trinkets
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-06T02:39:19-05:00
Leonard was bought three years ago from ShopAnatomical.com when they had an end of year sale -- he was about $275, shipping included. He stands 5' 5" tall give or take, but usually just sits on my sofa, scaring off the neighborhood kids.
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-06T02:39:28-05:00
3 to go
Out sounds like a if trinket to me.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-06T02:39:58-05:00
I thought this issue would go quicker than the last because most of it is in a lab and I work in a lab. Nope! It's taking longer because I know how everything should look
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-06T02:40:32-05:00
And for the record, Leonard is polypropylene, not real -- but the German maker notes their patterns were made from real skeletons, which elicits some odd Nazi war crime vibes.
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-06T02:41:49-05:00
@LZ, your attention to detail is commendable. I can't wait for the next issue.
@GCD, that does feel a bit odd.
Peter 'General Calculus' W. 2015-02-06T02:42:04-05:00
Iam not actually following the photo achievements, but I thinkl it would have helped greatly if the rules would have been announced right with #update9 and not a day late and the specifications getting narrower as time goes by.
Again I am aware that there has to be some sort of control mechanism, but this just does not feel right.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-06T02:42:22-05:00
Too bad. Life seems different after you hold a human rib, skull, heart, or brain in your hands...
"Diamond Dan" Drake 2015-02-06T02:42:34-05:00
@Jeff - Nice :) I have a friend who has a skeletal buddy who just sits around on the couch Though, he said recently he had to switch out his sofa spot because it was indenting the cushions or something. Don't recall what his name was.
"Diamond Dan" Drake 2015-02-06T02:42:56-05:00
The skeleton's name, that is. I still remember my friend's name.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-06T02:43:41-05:00
Thanks for the clarification. I was about to be confused

Thanks, Historian!
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-06T02:44:02-05:00
I have several friends with skeletons, we're a weird bunch. One is named Herkimer, and I have forgotten the other one's name -- other than "she" is female (literally, the pelvis is correct for a female, not male).

I mean, technically ALL of my friends have skeletons...but they are, you know, inside their bodies.

Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-06T02:48:52-05:00
What's UTC?
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-06T02:49:30-05:00
UTC is fancy for GMT I think

Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-06T02:51:02-05:00
I saw a bunch of posts about it and looked into it. I thought it sounded interesting for the right demographic, and therefore I was rooting for them. But, it doesn't seem like a game I would really want to play.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-06T02:51:49-05:00
Same here, it sounds like a fun game, but I lean towards wargames mainly, or mathy games like Zertz.
Peter 'General Calculus' W. 2015-02-06T02:52:01-05:00
Sorry, I am so used thinking in UTC I was not aware it is not yet common practice.Will use GMT for clarity.
"Diamond Dan" Drake 2015-02-06T02:52:21-05:00
