Subject: The Blue Initiative

Key

I've been pondering this idea for a while and how to present it in a way that I don't seem like I'm advocating spam. And I think I've finally come up with it.

You see, my fellow forumgoers, I feel about as regretful about something I've done as any one person could possibly be. I have, several weeks ago now I believe it was, done something equal to that of killing a unicorn or pissing on a rainbow as far as crimes against nature go. I stopped in progress a page full-mythic thread page. I cannot tell you how dimwitted and remorseful I felt when this happened. History in the making, and I all but wrote it out of possibility.

In case you don't know, if we're being incredibly ignorant and favorable to the Mythic population and assume they're approximately 1/4 of the title-bar-quad-fecta, there is approximately a .000000000000088817842% chance of having a full page of mythics post.

It is for this reason that I suggest what I am calling the "Blue Initiative". It is our duty as non-blues to leave alone a possible Full-Blue page in the making. If you don't realize it before you post or if you and a blue are close to simultaneously making the 25th post of the thread (with you being the later of the two), that's fine. But bringing about this sort of wonder to the community is something that is only polite of us non-blues.

Now I'd like to make a disclaimer before I post this. I am not advocating Mythic-Spam to fill up a page of any given thread. I'm advocating the constructive conversing and discussing of blues while at the same advocating the diverted conversing and discussing of non-blues to another thread until the chain is either broken or completed.

Thoughts?

Suggestions?

Telling me that this thread is stupid and that I should just stop my silly attempts at making threads that make it look like I'm sincere when in fact my intentions are sarcastic, satirical, or jesting in nature because nobody ever seems to understand this or rather they just don't care for my style of thread-making?

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Sounds like spam

Too bad you didn't actually read the whole post.

Try doing that next time, will you? Christ.

Who cares if people with a title prefix all post on one page. Titles don't really matter and trying to force a page of all of a certain prefix seems silly.

Way to avoid the fact that you didn't read the whole post before responding.

Um... good one? I'm clearly not talking about in private groups because that would be exceedingly easy.

Exactly, what matters is the quality of the post.

It's still pointless. How about print screening a typical topic, getting the fill tool and changing all the colours of the replies to the Mythic colour, hmm? Satisfy your Mythic-colour-post desires elsewhere.

Sometimes starting back from square one does good...

Ask smart questions

Put a Mythic trap so they come all there. Like a ban-proof vest.

I'm willing to bet money that none of you read the last paragraph, and if you did you didn't understand it.

I'm going to have to agree, having all blues will not cause the forthcoming of a diety. It will not solve world hunger of the underprivledged. It might look cool, only because blue generally is used as a cold color. push comes to shove if i ever find the situation i'll make sure to spoil the all blue and just point at a picture of stosh i keep dear to my heart [/sarcasm]

Real account.

Join me as we make new friends from different communities!

If you assign every letter of the alphabet a number, a is 1, b is 2, etc., and you take all of the values of the word "MATH", and add them, you get 42. So math is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

I shall not let this happen.

I edited it once before there were any replies to change the word "terming" to the word "calling".

Didn't a full Mythic page happen just recently?

It almost did... but I broked it. Unless there's another one I don't know about.

We should know better, because we are better.

So, what you are saying is that you don't want us non-mythic members to post because you want a full page of blue?

If that situation arises where one of these is coming into existence, all I'm saying is that for the good of the community you should occupy yourself elsewhere until the page has been broken by some sinful human being or been completed, fully blue. After that you can post whatever it is you were going to post, of course.

I assumed we were going to leave this thread Mythi-free. Well done.

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

As an alternative solution, I could just ban any non-Mythics who post on a particular page for reasons I just made-up on the spot.

Wouldn't be the first time.

I like this as long as it isn't applicable to people with two Z's in their username. Only seems fair...

Edit: Especially ones who JUST got heroic...

Found it. (ARBITOR 5 and Nephilim713 were Mythic at the time)

That's good. We're making progress. Now we just need to do that more often.
