I have noticed that many of you post even when I am not online. Clearly this is a waste of everyone's time : While I appreciate your efforts, there's really no need to keep me entertained 24 hours a day! On the other hand, when I am online, some of you post quite slowly, and some apparently not at all. Not amusing! So, to end this deplorable state of affairs, and help everybody be effective foils for my brilliance, I'll post my online schedule. All times are EST.

Weekdays I read, but cannot post, from about 1000 to about 1700; there follows half-an-hour's hiatus, then I can both read and post until 2300 or so. Mondays are an exception, I go fencing from 1900 to 2100. Fridays, likewise, I am busy in the evening. Saturday mornings I stay in bed, and may start posting around 1200, staying for the most part online until I begin to play Victoria at 2200. Sundays I am busy until about 1500, then free for the rest of the evening.

So, now that you know the times you are required to be online, let's have no more of this waste and inefficiency! To get the maximum KoM-entertainment for your buck, post only in these times, and leave the forum alone otherwise.

Oh come on, you don't think you're more interesting than Orson Scott Card, do you? [Wink]

Bev, I don't think you quite understand. You are all of you puppets, created to dance for my amusement. Whether you are entertained is utterly irrelevant.

Dance, puppets, dance! *Cracks whip, laughs maniacally*

Ahhh... sock puppets. I've heard that one before. [Wink]

I'm not really sure I believe in you.

You know, in the sixth grade I was struck with the revelation that for all I knew, I was the only actual person in the world and that nothing and no one else existed until they affected me directly.

I think this thread of yours is one last-ditch effort on behalf of the universe to trick me back into thinking that was a silly, juvenile sort of thing to believe. You won't beat me! I know the truth!

KoM, you have it all wrong. You are here to entertain *me*. And you usually do a pretty good job of it too.

Are you pondering what I'm pondering?

Yes, but are you Susie dreaming you are Annie, or vice versa?
Also, if true, it makes your relationship with Hobbes...interesting. [Razz]

Neither. I am actually Marianne Dashwood.

Ah, yes, I forgot about Ms. Dashwood.

He forgets.... he's King of MEN... Women are therefore free from his reign of terror!

<posting gleefully whenever she wants>
 
Posted by Jonathan K. (Member # 7720) on :
 
yea but the word men can imply the entire race of humanity
 
Posted by Dragon (Member # 3670) on :
 
however, women are free to assume that it doesn't apply to us

[Razz]
 
Posted by Jonathan K. (Member # 7720) on :
 
free to assume, yes, but he's also free to assume that it does.
 
Posted by Dragon (Member # 3670) on :
 
but obviously I control the universe...

[edit: this is my 2323rd post. That's wicked cool!]
