Whether it is your name or not, its been taken.  You lose.  Do not advance to GO, do not collect $200.

I see.  Is that in the rules? 

No, this is Discordia... there are no rules. However, if you break the rules, goddess help ya.

We should make sure not to kill him though.

I know, it's hard not to.

I love this quote (which I very slightly altered so it could stand on its own).
"Threats should not be tolerated. They're demeaning, they're violations to human rights and no one deserves them."

As a N00bs (whatever that is, I'm guessing I'm one because I was called one by two or more people), I have a suggestion.  Those of you who have been here for a long time have been here a long time.  Sounds self-evident, no?  Just like it's evident you principiadiscordia.com oldtimers (who are distinct but knowing individuals, I'm sure) know what N00bs be.

But who's the least likely person to know what N00b means?  A N00b!

Perhaps you might want to think about having the post clearly identify what a N00b is, and also make it clear where a N00b can find the advice on what a N00b should and should not do.  That way, maybe someone won't get flamed on their first post here, not knowing they're breaking rule 537 of the N00bian Handbook.

Of course I realize it's traditional for governments to punish their citizens for laws the citizens never heard of.  It's easier to keep people in line that way.  And I also realize that Discordians try to make as many laws as possible, because after all imposition of order = escalation of disorder.  It's the Second Law of Thermowhatzits, or something.

Thank you for letting me have my say.

if you have spent any amount of time on the internet and have not learned what the term "noob" means...you will likely always be one.

also...take your life.

nah we prefer the discordian way, it's called

THINK FOR YOURSELF SCHMUCK

6 out of 7 n00bs arrive, apply the above advice, do not get flamed, fit right in. the 7th is usually some sad fuck that thinks they got discordia all figured out, thereby shooting themselves in the foot.

you have it a bit extra tough since it seems due to some historical disagreements you got a bunch of posters that like to take shots at you regardless of what you said. this is a separate matter, nothing to do with this particular forum, being a n00b/postcount or whatever, and which you should settle with them.

as far as you implying not to know what the word "n00b" means, pull the other one, it's got fucking bells on.

okay buddy.

what exactly are you trying to say here?

it sounds to me like you're comparing the PD.com forum with a government that punishes citizens for laws they never heard of because it's easier to keep them in line that way.

got anything to back that up? cause thinly veiled whining like this makes my initial goodwill wear thin real fast.

INTERNET:  SERIOUS BUSINESS
The Jerk On Bike rolled his eyes and tossed the waffle back over his shoulder--before it struck the ground, a stout, disconcertingly monkey-like dog sprang into the air and snatched it, and began to masticate it--literally--for the sound it made was like a homonculus squatting on the floor muttering "masticate masticate masticate".
