Khore in the Chapel Perilous

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Actually, I was just trying to point out that in general, it might not serve our purposes as well as we'd like to say things like that to non-native speakers until we're reasonably sure they'll get the joke. That Khore got the joke pretty quickly does not negate the point.

It's entirely possible, however, that I'm the only one who's willing to tone it down for a few posts in order to bring the rest of the world into the fold.

Waffle Iron caught on right away, too.

Still doesn't negate the point, unless we're only interested in keeping posters who already get it before they show up here. I'm not trying to bust your balls or call you a bad guy, I thought the shit you posted in that thread was fucking hilarious, I just think it's worth making the adjustment in the name of "expanding our brand", so to speak.

Well, as I said earlier, there are really only two ways to interpret the way I was acting, and he chose to sit on the fence but respond appropriately to both ways.

I'm putting this in the win column.

But I see your point...To a degree.  I'd prefer to see members who would react to my shit by either laughing or running it back at me.  On the other hand, there are several long-time posters that - if exposed to this sort of shit on their arrival - would not have hung around long enough to figure things out.

I shall think on this.  But I'm going to do it in a spiraling frenzy of benzo & caffeine abuse, so don't get your hopes up too far.

No really you guys continue.

I'm sure yet another rehash of the TGGR show is more interesting that whatever the new guy had to say.

Intense personalities (there are many here) =/= (insert name) show.


Just saying.

Not that I am agreeing but I don't think thats what Dingo meant.
Take a look at the first five pages of the thread and count how many different people were posting.

I eagerly await the results of THAT.

Well, you'll apparently have to wait for 5 pages.

TGRR,
Allowing the pressure to equalize.  Or words to that effect.

Thank you. Faust is correct. I was interested in what Khore had to say, not threadjacks and hazing.

Of course the predictable response took place, Roger went all Scarface "look out, there's a real bad guy coming through, look at the bad guy" and I was accused of trying to pull shit on Roger for an ego boost. Or something. Whatever.

After I bust out my wiki fu I'll comment on topic because I find Chapel Perilous interesting though I don't understand it fully.

And then Dingo went all interbutts paladin and saved the day.



ETA:  On Faust's hint, I was going to leave this thread til page 12, but now I am compelled - COMPELLED, I SAY - to "go all Scarface".

Fucking azzhole!  I TOLD joo no killing kids!  Now look at you!

I believe it's a "disease" called super sanity.
So sane, that it seems crazy.

Some people get it from real life experiences.
You could be next. Beware.

[Khore]

Some americans are like kids, some discordians are stupids. A lot are wise or fools. Some are intelligent. We can find this situation in every site.
Hacer gracias de un inglés "analfabeto" no tiene mucha gracia a menos que sepas que tiene gracia, yo no lo se. Hay tantas cosas que ignoro que hacen que esta situación en cierto sentido tenga gracia y en otro no.

Ahora voy a lo importante, si yo interpreto Fnord como agente o entidad que me hace ingresar en la Capilla Peligrosa, entonces son reales. Si yo lo interpreto así, entonces esos hechos son reales. Y tú no eres nadie para decir que es mentira o "blabla" de ello sin ningún fundamento. Esto es real tío (the Chapel Perilous).

Any questions will be answered.

[Khore]

All experiencies are real. Solo que unas son más intensas que otras. ¿Qué quieres decirme realmente?

[Telarus]

All experiencies are real. Solo que unas son más intensas que otras. ¿Qué quieres decirme realmente?

We have an allegory here that explains that, called "The Barstool".

Short form: You can craft the experience of a barstool in your mind, noting details of light on fabric verus plastic versus metal, even providing sense of smell or touch to your mental barstool. But there's simply one thing I can do with the "real" barstool that you can't do with your "mentally real" barstool, which is pick it up and beat you over the head with it.

Real is not binary (which you reflexively propose the opposite to a perceived "not all things are real" message).

And while all things 'are' interconnected, all things 'are not' equally interconnected.

For further illumination, consult the seven names of SRI SYADASTI.

Thanks for the information, i will meditate.

If you don't mind crawling through Sanskrit very roughly translated into English, I cover the Seven Names of Sri Syadasti here:

It's also good to remember that there's only one realm (code, language, imagination) where Symbols are "Things, in and of themselves" (and not just references pointing to things). That we can experience both realms at once (a 'semantically rich environment') does not mean we should confuse the two.

Yes, you have reason.
I wish I could understand The Good Reverend Roger, but my English is bad.
And im very crazy too.
