[SgtL] and once again for those of us that are slow

the 'founder'-thing is over
for being in the thudguild u have to pay
thudmeister is a title you get for winning a thud-championship
and all the other titles can be obtained by speaking with lee and by convincing him that you are needed i think

some else can go on

Almost right - you can be a Librarian or a Druid by convincing Lee you'd be useful at it, but you'll never get to be an admin (and "site gods" are just another unofficial name for the admins). Admins are Lee and Dewi, and they have root, so can do more or less anything - which includes destroying everything if they press the wrong button by accident. Hence we're not likely to see any more admins, (unless I suppose the site suddenly becomes HUGE and they have to hire other professional types to work at the morganalley company).

And just to expand on being a founder, essentially you had to have donated before loads of people would've found out about the site. IIRC, the cut-off date was the release of the paperback edition of Thud!

and what priveledges do i enjoy as a librarian or druid

if youre a librarian you can tag topics, which means it'll be easier for google to find them, or something like that, and searching them on thet site (with the search option on the top left) will be easier. druids, if i get it right, are like assistants for the admins - they edit and update topics, organize stuff like the story comp and do general stuff in the site.

[sigh] but i want those badges

then go to lee and nag till he gives you one, or get really good at thud and win a tournment, or buy a thudguilds' bronze membership, whatever that is.

Just a quick hint... I'm not sure you're supposed to become a Librarian/Druid just for the badge - generally people want to help and offer there time (and it does take up a bit of time, doing some of the stuff). One of the perks of the job is the badge, rather than it working the other way up...

sais u who obviously didn;t get the "no hoarding" (slits eyes at Lee) memos

jealousy...

"competitive mentality"

insane mentality

yep, just the words i was looking for

i pu the kettle on and wait for words to come to me...they always come crawling back

we will wait
everybody is nervous
we are just waiting for you
...

... ...

... ... ...

does the steam get to them?

Dioxyriboneucleic Acid! there see! it did come back!

so, they just like some of the home brewed.

but only some

polyethylentherphtalat

uh...you can keep that one

life would be hard without it

this is potencially true, however chemistry was a along time ago and i think it's a pastic

the same with biology to me

another cool word is 'lagerregal' which means storehouse-shelf and is a palindrome comprising two semordnilaps

'zthat english?

lagerregal is a german word

*makes a note on to do list: learn german*
it actually took me your translation to get what the word means. i was like lage-rregal... lagerr-egal... *sigh* stupid word...

a word which looks english but is german and hard to understand is brathering

what is this brathering we are talking aboot eh?wot

i already noted german on /my/ to do list
and i am soooo lost
talk maths...the international language

i used to speak maths SG [standard grade]
but now i speak the words of sums

i speak only 1337

what does that mean?

hehe 1337 looks like LEET [lít..like it would be in afrikaans]. programmers use certain forms and abrviations and words like "warez", which is a play on "wares" meaning stolen (electronically stolen or copied) goods (hard/software) and HAXOR meaning a hacker but a leet (elite) one...possible one who even is a cracker (in the comp. world, a hacker writes programs and a cracker breaks into computers.)
the language is called leet or 1337

aha,so you well versed in that language?

only enough to say hello and order coffee

what,like order coffee on the internet?

hey, in the computer world, coffe is like god number 2

trust me,i know,i've had 2 cups already and i've been up for 1hr30mins

wow, that's not good, how do u take it and what is a cup to u?

used to be 2 sugars,but now down to 1,with milk.a cup is a normal mug of coffee

u should try dad's we're hungarian so we make coffee the way it should be. milk and sugar are sins agains the coffee god. his is black and intense we'll drink a whole batch in a day

well that's a bit crazy for me,although i bet it'd give you quite a kick

well let's see, he hasn;t had a holiday in at least 6 yrs, works weekends, often 3 jobs at once (contractor...he basically wh*res himslef to the company that will pay his fee) and usually sleeps 5hrs a night...and he's still alive...just...in spite fo his smoking habit.

so id say ja it works...i dontl; touch the stuff personally, black things are often meant to remain unconsumed...hence the colour

sounds a bit hectic,but i guess you gotta do what you gotta do

alas, butid like to see him og on holiday once

i know what you mean,dad's work too hard

yeah, but without them, no money

well that's when you know you should get a job buddy,instead of spending your day on a pc

this is true...but im soooooooooooooo lazy

i can see,yet you can sit typing incessantly for hours

that is because he doesnt get paid to do it.
