I fully support increased moderation, so long as it remains objective (as much as possible). It sounds like this will be a joint effort between moderators/Wookie, and I think this approach will work better than any one moderator. There have been too many toxic words exchanged - and it taints the realm/forum. I will be the first to accept responsibility for participating in this, and I hope others will carefully consider their words too (and think about their effects before clicking 'post'). Let's move forward!

Have a nice day! :)

My turn? ^^ MD would crumble were I to post all the dirt I have on 'powerful' individuals like yourself. I am choosing not to take your bait, not to play your game no one/dst. As I have stated all along... just leave me alone (it is best for the realm). I have been willing to bury the hatchet for a long Time now - how bout you give it a shot?

Yay Magistra :)

Sure of this, are we? ;)

Finding the answer is part of the quest... have you tried asking around? ;)

Not so random, because it is namesake quote - but, still, I thought I'd share. :) "Of our studies it is impossible to speak, since they held so slight a connection with anything of the world as living men conceive it. They were of that vaster and more appalling universe of dim entity and consciousness which lies deeper than matter, time, and space, and whose existence we suspect only in certain forms of sleep — those rare dreams beyond dreams which come never to common men, and but once or twice in the lifetime of imaginative men. The cosmos of our waking knowledge, born from such an universe as a bubble is born from the pipe of a jester, touches it only as such a bubble may touch its sardonic source when sucked back by the jester's whim. Men of learning suspect it little and ignore it mostly. Wise men have interpreted dreams, and the gods have laughed."

A cat sat on Zleiphners face and then died... Zleiphner woke up he said, "WHY!?" He shoved the knife into its sheath, slapping DD who's a GoB onto a bee. Zleiphner, thought that this was bizarre So he kicked the puppy Fang and Fang cried... hell broke loose! and licked BoB, poor BoB always whipped by demons. Then came Eon who finally said, "Enough you people!" and killed DD. DD's blood flowed down and down until it reached a river of chicken fat. Change with Lord Tipu is a good pair of idiots. After Eon's retirement, they decided to kill each other but were unsuccessful, so they slept embracing one another's anime collections. Meanwhile, Peace declared war to avenge DD and all bees, headed by *MasterB*'s biggest CrAzY BeE Eff Eff. The war was won! DD's revival was forever postponed but finally happened in his dreams and reality too! But! DD mutated into a glow, eventually becoming human 9000.1 years later. He killed Change's cousin named Chaos with bread knives and a toothpick killed DD again. This time Permanently. With no way (pickle radish turnip) to not revive without dying again. Peace killed Pothos with his scarf and disappeared. DD trains hardcore despite nadrolski copying him. Except DD's dead dog is revived and it kills DD, starting an apocalypse of pretty rainbows indeed.

WTB a Green Button. Can offer for it: embarrassing screenshots, original SoE research, and a mental lap dance. ((( Double...wha...? ))) Throw in a bottle of lube and you will receive the whole package deal.

Thus far unpredictable, yes, but a measure of randomness or non-randomness depends upon the capacity of one's ability to measure (or not) such things. I would argue that to call something random or not is subjective upon this capacity, belief system, etc. (I wholeheartedly agree with you about your statement, I in no way subscribe to religious dogma (surprised?!) or scientific determinism... what I am trying to do is push us to question the 'obvious')

And all this Time I thought it was natural selection! >< Darwinwaswrong.com

The quintessential song of my youth.

Every living thing was created from water, according to the Qur'an; in Genesis, god's spirit hovered above water, creating darkness and light; in the Hindu tradition (and many others), water is the source of fertility and healing (both physical and spiritual). Science teaches us that water came from the heat of clashing stars. And when I look upon the reflection of the sun and moon on water, it reminds me that water began in starlight! But it is the force of water that, for me, creates such power and beauty by how it moves through our day-to-day lives. From earth, to air, and back again. It may come as a trickle, it may come as a hurricane. It may fall as a drop of dew down a lover's chest, or as an avalanche. It is the great shapeshifter. It flows through our body (not to mention we are ~70% water) in our blood, just as it flows through all other forms of life, connecting us all to the Source. Now, to answer your question. Feel your pulse. Close your eyes and do not think about it... feel it. That is water. ----- re: randomness I really liked Chew's statement:

Happy Birthday Azull! I'm not entirely sure why, but this song makes me think of you ;)

Congratulations Lord Tipu!!
