Title: Some news
Post by: arnoldemu on 11:13, 06 August 11
I will be less active than I have been on the forums.

I will continue with my cpc activities and visit the forum at the weekend and evening and not during the day.

I know the feeling, I will also be cutting back on my CPC activity soon. But no problem, as long as we can still contact you.

Bryce.

@arnoldemu I don't know what are your reasons ; but I'm going to follow your way. I'm starting a new job next week, and I know I sometimes abused with the "cpc on the net" stuff in the past at work. I don't want this to repeat in my new job. I guess I have better to do ;) so..... "less talking, but with better quality".

@arnoldemu: Make sure you do keep you promise to visit on the weekends!!!!!

I'm also with norecess. Started a new job in June which is now fulltime in animation instead of the freelance I was doing before. This means getting home at 7:30 - 8pm which means the cpc projects are now relegated to evenings(for an hour or 2) and saturday's only.

Well I guess it was kind of joke, right? don't ask us to give the CPC higher priority over real life.

Well, if it was a joke, why then so many other jokes had been deleted?

Edit: Sure, I know, this reply is meant as joke!
But perhaps other people also joked here, and their postings had been censored?
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

Come on guys, for the love of god, of course it was a joke, as in "you guys suck, giving up the cpc for real life".

And comparing to other "jokes" is kindergarten stuff, sorry, as if there's the slightest possibility I could mean it as an offense. Let alone the fact that those other "jokes" had a loooong long history (longer than Rome's...) behind them. Let alone the fact that those other "jokes" were so much worse than a "you suck". You can't be serious.

The joke missed some form of identifiable hint, like a smiley.

You're statement was comparable to a joke told with a solemn face and bitter tone. ;)

You're right. We're getting old and senile (as someone else told me :D ), so here:

And, of course, I completely understand, as I actually wrote in my first reply. If nothing else, there have been periods when my presence is limited here due to real-life stuff.

Post by: Devilmarkus on 18:11, 10 August 11
Look, Themis, I hope you know, why at least I reported your reply ;)
You cannot assume that other people don't write ironic or sarcastic things here in forum, but you do that...

But really, sometimes smileys help much....

Plus, it was neither sarcastic nor ironic. I would suppose we're grown up enough to understand what these words mean.

Sure, I know the meaning of "You suck" but it was Bryce who explained me the deeper sense of this nice word combination...

It has a reason that I put my forum signature in here ;)

Thanks for distorting and taking to the extreme, on purpose and just to show a point (what? Beg Kangaroo back?) a really minor issue, blowing it out of all proportion.

Bryce, Arnold, do you seriously believe that what I said, especially after my first post, was meant seriously and as an insult? If so, then I humbly apologise, because that was not my intention, obviously. I don't believe I ever had any quarrels with you to justify taking something wrong or that there was any bad blood among us, so I fail to see how my comment could be interpreted as such, but again, if I offended you, I'm sorry.

Just to emphasise:

But I really just meant it as "in general" ;)

This is pure trolling, not gonna do this any more.

Yes. I was told I should not do so much internet, so I stopped it. (I am writing this in my main break).

@Gryzor: I didn't take offence.
@Everyone: Back off from Gryzor please.

@CP/M User: so... you mean these are fig leaves I've been collecting? Damn, there goes my dream to buy off the entire MegaFlash production and then sell it on eBay at inflated prices...

I don't take fig-leaves as payment :) Other non-accepted "currencies" are:

Fairy dust
Magic coins
Pixie points
WoW weapons

...Without messing up this thread too much, materials which come through nature could technically be turned into profit - time into produce that product is critical based on supply and demand for it though. The kids at the Lemonade stand is classic example!  ;D  Things like Wood can be sculptured (some woods are better than others) again time is a factor there. Leaf foliage can do all sorts of things, mulch or boiling some leaf foliage to produce a scent which some people find desirable.

So correction, money can be found on Trees!  :-[

Darn, too late, I already paid him through Paypal, and Paypal doesn't have a "foliage" currency option...

@Gryzor: Let us know how much you'd be looking for. I don't need one at the moment, but it's always good to know the current market value in case I need to replace mine in the future. I hear they sometimes get tempremental after a few years :D

Hmm, pretending to want something you don't want, interesting. Body Language might help. Unfortunately I play mind games too much (in real life) and am being regularly caught, the only advantage I might get is by not playing mind games will put those who know me into thinking I'm playing mind games. Only regret is I'm a poor liar cause it stands out in my face!  :o
