5/26/12: What is the biggest threat knights face today?

The biggest threat facing most Knights today, apart from rampant inflation[1], would have to be the ever-increasing strain on our fledgling health systems, due in part to both rising overpopulation and lacklustre public awareness campaigns.

Too often have I seen comrades - who should have, given proper and timely treatment, made a full recovery and returned to their Knight-wives and Knight-children happy and healthy, and maybe taken their Knight-families out for the day, maybe to the park, maybe had a picnic and brought their Knight-pets along too - pass out in the heat of battle from earlier (but may I stress, minor) afflictions.

One friend, Jukken, had a nasty case of Paladin's foot (entirely attributable to the sub-par outfitting supplied to Squires these days) which - had it been treated without the need for exorbitant CE overheads - would not have caused him to pass out on the battlefield a few days later from toe-poisoning and significant pangs of discomfort. Admittedly, this may have been exacerbated by the mild food poisoning suffered from receiving a Virulisk to the face earlier that day, but to that I say: why doesn't Spiral HQ supply us with better trans-substance particle filters?

I mean, all you ever see these days are young things running around with flowers and confetti flying out of their ears, with all sorts of gaudy knick-knacks sprouting from their helms, and you have to think: we've crash-landed on an alien planet, my other friend Derghan just passed out from Severe Re-Frosting Syndrome, and what are we producing? THIS?! I ask-- I ask you, fellow Spiral-bound Knights, what does Spiral HQ think they are doing? Aren't we fighting for survival on this rock[2]? Don't we need to pool every resource we find, to replenish our battle-stores and to keep research[3] into the Clockworks Affair[4] from stagnating? And yet, here we are: the self-elected Spiral HQ pulling resources from front-line veterans to produce gew-gaws for Knights with more money than sense!

And that's why the biggest threat to Our Knights today is: Communism.


[1] And why doesn't the ruling triumvirate at Spiral HQ just stop printing money mining CE?
[2] Not that they're really rocks - good, honest rocks like back home - more like Gremlin-forged mockeries of that proud, natural element, and an abomination to every right-thinking Knight.
[3] Surely Wegner knows the heavy burden he is placing on all Knights during this time, demanding his tithe in minerals when a struggling Apprentice might do better to sell a shard or two on the Free Market.
[4] Which, I am beginning to suspect, is the nexus of a tangled conspiracy. I have yet to receive satisfactory information from Spiral HQ regarding these bizzare subterrainian machinations - a good friend, Kora, being unusually tight-lipped about the entire business - and am beginning to suspect the rising CE exchange rate may have more to do with denying Knights access to the mysterious Core that Spiral HQ is ostensibly "encouraging" us to jouney to than is comfortable (I, myself, have not seen this "Core" section, and have come to believe, in the wake of recent inflation, that I may never do so).

Whew!

As an addendum, may I add:

a) What a delightful thread!
b) Congratulations on having run this thread for so long, and for offering the CE you did have (I was going to say "for over a year!", but soon realised my datemark-parsing mistake).
c) Sorry for the wall of text - first post on these forums and I was expecting a few more formatting options! (No [sup] [/sub] [small] [/big]? But my art! Le gasp! *swoon!*)

5/26/12 Biggest Threat Knights Face

Definetly Teir Three Greavers, no doubts about it. Have you ever gone down to T3 and gotten ambushed by a swarm of greavers? You were trying to get the Cradle and All achievment and bam yu die, and so do your counterparts, you revive, still wanting to get the satisfaction of going from Depth 0 all the way to 29. Then, you get ambushed yet agaqin, and you revive somebody else. Then, you get to Depth 27 and realize you can't go down any further! No more CE! So you have to go up, not getting the satisfaction. :(

I would name it ..... "Poo". Because then i can point and laugh at people for eating it. Bonus points if they say that the fruit is delicious.

I would name it "morange" regardless of whether the fruit was in the citrus family. That way, looking up the word "orange" in a rhyming dictionary would stop giving me this.

if i discovered a new fruit i would name it the Omnifruit, since it can cure any ailment as well as full you up. plus you can use it in any recipe and make the dish taste so good.....*drools*... it can also be used as a very good gremlin repelent since gremlins hat sweet food, but never wear one when traveling through a beast domain, they will eat you alive...as Archweld experienced firsthand... plus they make great decorations since they never go bad.

@Qazxedcv why do i have the feeling that you just ripped off Neopets? I know for a fact that Neopets has an item known as a Heartberry, so did you just rip off Neopets or what?

Question: If you discovered a new type if fruit, What would you name it?

Answer: First, I do not know anything about this new fruit, so how would I know what to call it. What does it look like, taste like, or feel like? So I guess I would have to call it mystery fruit since again I know nothing about it, therefore making it a mystery.

What would happen if you gave a School Teacher a Banstick?

I'd tell her it was a precious heirloom of mine when I gave it to her. When she begins to irritate me, or my grades are bad, or I just remembered my dislike of school, I will subtly sink nto a depression. At my lowest, I will weep in class, and cry over the loss of anything that could have ever have helped me.

She will take pity...

Then...

BAN, and the school is gone!

Not much of anything would happen. Teachers teach. You can't teach people who are banned from being taught. A banstick would be useless to them and counterproductive. If anything, it would be used on people like the principal who come in and interrupt the classroom.

What would happen if you gave a School Teacher a Banstick?

Lesee...

It depends on which teacher.

Band: Probably try to make an intrument out of it and ending up accidentally banning himself.

Science: Confiscate it.

Metal Shop: Try to figure out what kind of metal it's made out of and try to duplicate it.

P.E.: Um... Dunno, create some new game involving screaming people running from the guy wielding the banstick.

Math: Wonder what the heck it is and shove it into a drawer and forget about it completely.

English/History: See Math.

Or they'd all confiscate it and 'ban' me from school because I brought a dangerous weapon there.

Now, if it was a random teacher who I didn't know...

1)If (s)he was a teacher at my school, confiscate it and 'ban' me.
2) Random teacher, do nothing because I'm not her student and don't go the school. Or (s)he'd take it awkwardly, shove it in a drawer, and call the police because some strange juvinile 'threatened' her with a weapon.

Or they could actually use it and punish/get rid of/ban/threaten trouble-making students with it. Which is about 95% of my school. Most of the boys are stupid and get horrible grades and perverted and violent and can't read a book to save his life, and most the girls are stupid and get horrible grades and annoying and don't do their homework and copy other people's work and talk to much and text in class and talk in class and pass notes in class and put makeup on in class and scream a lot and get into trouble A LOT. (No offense to anyone out there that fits those descriptions.).

/e is glad he's a good kid/teen/tween. :D Straight A+'s! No way my teachers are gonna ban me. Hopefully.

Where is the perfect hiding place?

As stated by Artemis Fowl the Second, the best hiding place would be the SECOND best hiding place.

For example, a statue and a hedge are in the field. The hedge, with a hollow spot, would clearly be the ideal hiding place. Behind the statue would be second. However, because whoever is trying to find you WOULD look for the best hiding place, they will think of the hedge too, and search it first. Therefore, the second best option now becomes your favoured option.

Your move Fowl.

"Where is the best hiding place?"

Well, that really depends on what you consider "best". Personally I think the best hiding place would be wherever I have my laptop, wifi, and a place to plug in. For example, I could be entertained endlessly in one of the libraries at my university, so it would be a great hiding spot. That doesn't necessarily mean it's the best in the sense that no one will find me, but it's the best in the sense that I would enjoy it.

"Where is the best hiding place?"

If you are outside the best place to hide is out in the open, in plain sight and in the middle of a crowd. Everyone knows it's easy to get lost in a crowd. You can disappear and become one with it. And no one ever looks for hidden things out in the open. If you're inside, anywhere up because people don't look up. They look under, behind and in things. When's the last time you looked at your ceiling?

The best hiding place is the worst hiding place because the best hiding place isn't the best hiding place since people always look for the best hiding place and not at the worst hiding place, therefore the worst hiding place is the best hiding place.

A royal Jelly and peanut butter sandwich, with your choice of toppings: Fried Love Puppy Gunpowder, Gremlin Chow, or Cradle Fruit.

AND it would come with a soft drink, Ice Queen Lemonaid, Almirian Taco Juice(Mild or Vana-Spicy), Mini Jelly Grape(flavor), Spookat Cotton Candy(flavor), or just plain old Cobalt Water

Now for just 10 Crowns!

hmm... Yeah thats all I can think of :P
**EDIT**
OR i would make Cobalt Pizza:
A pizza a day keeps the doctor away. Yes, pizza is the healthiest food known to knights on the face of Cradle. Eating it daily keeps the doctor away. At first God threw pizza down on us as manna from the heavens, to make them healthy and keep them lording it over everything. Then later he let people talk to each other and think up how to make pizza, so now we have oour hands on deep dish and thin crust.

You know at least one thing already, from your hard-won life experience: If you put cheese on anything round and flat you can call it pizza. Even a paper cutout that is round and flat, if it is covered with cheese, then it is pizza.

Why if you eat pizza the doctor will stay away? It's the garlic.

The end.

/e wonders if he should point out Kuger's wrong usage of the capital 'W' is 'what.'

Back to the task at hand.

Let's try to make this SK related, shall we?

Since this is a snack, I suppose I can't make this something hugely huge that it'll work as a 1000000000000 person banquet meal... Unless the guy who eats it is, like, the size of the Death Star, so...

Maybe...

A Creep Cake (dead, of course) with sprinkles of red and blue shards, with chocolate Oiler sauce. Tastes disgusting.

Or a Forbidden Fruit turnover, made from Forbidden Fruit Jelly and a flaky crust made out of that stuff that Biscotti used to make the Creep Cake bread with, laced with hardened Ice Cube Frosting. Nomnomnom.

Or a Rocky Core lollipop/jawbreaker, dipped in melted Jelly Gems to give flavor to its rough surface. It'll last forever(seeing how its rock sheel can't be destroyer)! Don't break your mouth.

Or some Radiant Sunshards Shard Rock Candy! Shards from a Radiant Sunshards infused with the taste of yummyness. Don't eat if you're a Devilite.

Or a drink, Faust's Beverage of Badness, the contents of a Phial of Phear, Curse Vial, Chroma Tears(freashly squeezed), and the delicious tears of players all dumped into a Mug of Misery. Drink at your own risk.

Or an energy drink, Volt Oil, liquified quicksilver, and the contents of a SHock Vial mixed together in a Power Cell. Beware of electrocution.

And so on and so forth.

If everyone in the game had unlimited energy for a single day, How would it effect your game play? What would you aim to do in your 24 hours?

Come back in -12months. I'd have had a perfectly thought out and planned excited speech about what I'm going to do with unlimited energy for 24 hours, and how awesome it'd be and how cool OOO is for doing it...

Now it's just 'Aw heck, that's like 16hours of free stuff I can't use.' Or 'Welp, Ce prices are fscked now.'
