Post making contest 3.0

aaaaaa aaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaa aaaaaaa aaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaa aaaaaaaaa

For those who weren't in the voice chat to bear witness to Fancytimes! it's an exclamation that Aks uses in his regular life to express happiness about a surprising turn of events. For example semi-solving a sausage puzzle.

Dog a cool I think strongest of player never for wrong storming explainer writers machining for my die

so many good dogs in this thread. i think we've finally done it, we've finally beaten the post making contest.

only laser can free us now

(please lock this thread as an act of kindness to us all)

the sun is not a mass of incandescent gas

** lock this thread, oh gods above **

[eerily coherent wailing]

"Only Laser can free us" does not mean "Laser will free us". And instead, Laser has trapped us all in this neverending hell.

WELL THEN THIS IS JUST LOOKING WONDERFUL

I'm sorry, I just love my country, and I fear for it.
It sounds intimidating, but you know what? Pull away the curtain - you'll realise, that there ain't anybody there!
There's just a few buttons, and their voices are actually really the secret.
I asked you to send in your picture, well, I gotta tell you that you shut the fuc-face, proving, powerful.
It's called the 9-12 project where you're going to find military bases in the hills of Hollywood, California, that prove, have gathered...

*static*

In some way, something knocked us off the air and we're on a backup system now.
Was it, err, the government or-
I don't know!
It has to be something, though!
Well, did you hear, now you tell me because you were listening...
That was awful strange.
There was a really weird guy on when it went off?
Yeah, real weirdo.
Sounding sort of paranoid? Schizophrenic?
Yes, like crying and everything.
Yeah, I've got the feeling someone didn't want you to hear it. So we've gone to a backup system to get signal to you right now and I presume it is getting to you right now. Totally bizarre, folks. Totally bizarre.

Finally, in the true tradition of upholstery craftsmanship, you listen, you repeat, you understand. We take great care to ensure that all our upholstery passes the British standard fire safety criteria, and this is how in just three months you could be speaking a language of your choice, confidentially.

Probably Google translated it "wrong". And by wrong, I mean without all the silly errors I put in. Like 'embarazada' is not embarrassed; that's 'avergonzada'. Anyway, with the return of rainbow text because why not rainbow text? But this time, it's darker because BWA HA HA I'm evil.

i'm glad you're okay sruix and also i somehow missed that this was a musical round.

here have a music:



If multiple people want to make rulesets, why not just have two running simultaneously? I mean, apart from the even more rapid expansion and how the 2 people might just keep quoting each other and making a bigger and bigger quote dungeon it could be an idea that someone crazy could consider...

"...is that freshwater? That is freshwater. It's not too greedy going for this, I need the culture... all right, cheaper amphitheatres. Eight turns on the engineer. Hmph."

I snap up rounds between rounds because mine are usually quick and easy and resistant to spill. A "cool down round" if you will.

i hate blight town i hate blight town i hate blight town

If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands! *clap clap*
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands! *clap clap*
If you're happy and you know it, and you really want to show it,
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands! *clap clap*

Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to Robust Laser,
Happy birthday to you.

So who's next? I've seen the "winner" take over before, and I do have potential rules, but I don't know if there's a queue or anything.

informally it seems to work that winner gets first dibs but i guess laser saw your honest concern as weakness and launched a ruleset anyway. i do have an informal shortlist for rulesets which i consider to be like 'well if i win and i don't wanna run a ruleset i'll just give it to whoever is next on here' but that's my personal thing and nobody else has to adhere to it.

This is update #87.

Because my last exam is not until Monday, I had decided in advance that I could definitely have tonight off.

...it is almost tempting to sit down and consider this seriously. Almost.

This is update #88.

I might later in the evening? I'm chilling out for a bit. One think I am definitely thinking of doing this evening is poking the C101 puzzles again, though, so be warned.

Meanwhile, I am going to be listening to Matthew Herbert's latest release, because it is apparently on Spotify even though I didn't think it was out until July 1st? This is a pleasant surprise. Unlike the music, potentially.

I have been listening to Matthew Herbert snoring for twelve minutes now. The people on the balcony are really going to love this, I can tell.

i'm pretty sure you are beyond the point where you can surprise the people on the balcony now

Passes 1 and 3.

This is update #90.

...I think the snoring just changed rhythm ever so slightly? At, um, the 26 minute mark? There was also a phone notification sound a little earlier. That was very Herbert.

I do not know what the people on the balcony think. To be honest, when they're still smoking and chatting loudly and scraping their chairs at 2am, I'm not sure they are thinking. I suppose that does not preclude them from thinking at other times, such as 7pm, when there have been unnaturally loud snoring sounds coming from the room below them for the better part of half an hour.

This is update #93.

Matthew Herbert has announced a new project called A Nude (The Perfect Body). It's out July 1 on Accidental Records, and it's comprised of recordings of a nude body as it makes...all kinds of sounds ("eats, sleeps, washes, wees, trims, wanks, moves, poos and so on," the press release notes). For the project, Herbert recorded the sounds of a naked body in a room for 24 hours then condensed them to create "a musical nude in its purest form." The compositions range from several minutes to an hour long; it's split into eight parts. Find the tracklist of movements (no pun intended) below.

01 is sleeping
02 is awake
03 is grooming
04 is hurting
05 is eating
06 is moving
07 is coming
08 is shitting

Those last two are gonna be fun.

I am having some trouble making Qxw do the things I want it to do and Herbert's stuttering gasps are a fitting but unhelpful soundtrack. Twelve minutes remain (of this track).
