General Discussion / Need Attendance Data on GoIO Competitive Gaming

« on: September 11, 2015, 12:37:26 am »

Hi guys, it's been a while since I've posted on the forums. I'm writing an article online, and I was wondering if anyone had any attendance data for pro GoIO players, for some of the most popular tournaments (unspecified) or just data from the Fabrian Conclusion and Leviathan tournaments.

Does anyone else play Haven and Hearth, or want to play? I've been playing for about a week now and I could use some neighbors.

The Pit / Leap of Logic Game

« on: October 03, 2014, 08:05:03 am »

Instead of explaining what the leap of logic game is, I'll just give you the format and an example then we can get started. Just come up with a 'truthism' in this format:
X does Y.
Y does Z.
A does Z.
Therefore A is X.

Example:
God is love.
Love is blind.
Stevie Wonder is blind.
Therefore Stevie Wonder is God.

Hitler did bad things.
Bad things make people cry.
Onions make you cry.
Therefore Hitler was an onion.

America is patriotic.
Patriots wear flags on their shoulders.
The American flag has alternating stripes.
Zebras have alternating stripes.
Therefore America is a zebra.

The Lounge / Apostasia in Philomusici Complectum

« on: September 21, 2014, 09:24:17 pm »

I've been having a rough month, plagued by grade woes and familial issues, with the threat of my stepmother and father getting divorce (and subsequently messing up the remainder of my high-school education) looming over my head. But then today, my favorite musician, Yourenigma, released this:

My mind was brought to a screeching halt. This music was so profoundly awesome, so simply good, that I broke down. In the midst of all the thoughts roiling through my mind, of how terrible my stepmother was being towards me and how miserable I was, this little treat for the ears embedded itself in my mind and supplanted all my sorrow. In a stroke of inspiration, I took to my Latin dictionary and came up with...
Apostasia in Philomusici Complectum.
Translated as "Denouncement of one's religion, into the embrace of music," Apostasia in Philomusici Complectum is the closest thing I could think of to adequately encapsulating my feelings tonight.
Please tell me I'm not the only one who gets lost... so wonderfully, inexorably lost in my music like this.

I am going to open the brony can of worms. Anyone else out there perusing the forums and watching My Little Pony? Also, have a cabaret club poster.

World / Mercury Field Gun- Repurposed

« on: July 17, 2014, 07:39:33 pm »

Just a minor thing that I noticed that's worth pointing out. Field guns are large calibre mounted guns that are used in land tactical combat, particularly during WWI and WWII. The Mercury being a field gun means that it was originally used as a massive-ass sniper rifle during land combat, apparently re-purposed to fit on our airships. Interesting thought.
