Wat - you got an epic one! :lol: Forget My Name by Danko Jones: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1n30pOGxbY

I got ISTP (The Mechanic) but last time I got INFP (The Idealist). I would still consider myself INFP, even after that test. Reading the descriptions of both the INFP just suits me SO accurately. A few things from ISTP may apply to me but some things REALLY don't. Maybe the previous test I took just had better questions that produced a more accurate result :P

You can't balance out rule breaking with constructive posts to get away with it :P While we may deal with someone who ONLY dishes out snide comments more severely, offering discussion won't completely save you from the consequences of posting insults and other personal attacks. Breaking the rules is still breaking the rules.

Basically, but oh well :P The title is more appropriate, at least.

I know the feeling :lol: I just finished The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan. I probably won't read another book until The Fiend and the Forge: Book Three of The Tapestry by Henry H. Neff gets published and delivered (late November).

I don't think you know what a troll is. A troll purposely provokes argument and outrage by making obviously false claims and assertions. They have no desire to "fit in" to a community. Well there are trolls who do what you said and in the process obviously break the rules. Then there are the trolls who want to do everything you said but at the same time not get banned so they carefully toe the line and while they still try to incite a negative reaction and provoke arguments, they do it within the boundaries of the rules.. therefore I guess they "fit in" more. I don't know if that's what he meant though :P I know you can't name names, but what kind of behaviour is "toeing the line"? An example please? Well the best example would be specific examples (real situations), which I can't give. But generally speaking, I'd say people who "toe the line" are purposely annoying but without breaking the rules. Meaning they say and do annoying things but without resorting to personal attacks or spamming. And we can't ban people just for being annoying :P Or to use xxshady's definition as a base: An obvious troll purposely provokes arguments and outrage by making obviously false claims and assertions. In the process of defending their arguments, etc. they resort to using personal attacks and insults against the opposing side. They try to generate arguments out of pointless discussions by creating obviously spam topics. A subtle troll does the above but debates in a more appropriate manner, without the personal attacks and insults. What they are arguing is ridiculous but they do it in an appropriate fashion. They know where the line is drawn between "spam" and "discussion value" and they create topics of the bare minimum discussion value (borderline spam rather than obviously spam). They purposely create threads in the wrong forum but claim it was an accident. They "fit in" in the sense that they abide by the forum rules but their annoying behavior tends to make them stand out.

I watched Marley and Me today. Probably the first time that I didn't cry at the end :P

nope you can mark a locked topic read by reading it. For some reason that hasn't been marking them as read for me :P (I think)

I think this problem also exists with locked topics. I'll find out how easy it is to fix :)

Nothing :P No pockets on my PJ pants and I am wearing a sweatshirt with a pocket but there's nothing in it. When I'm in my room/house, I almost never have anything in my pocket.

I randomly watched Vanity Fair today.

Economic Left/Right: -1.00 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.33 Although my "true answers" to some of the questions were "don't know/don't care" but I had to pick an answer so... :P

On the contrary, junior year is the perfect time to start worrying about it. You should start applying to universities around October and November of your senior year. That means that junior year needs to be dedicated to researching and visiting schools.

Yeah in the US college and university are used interchangeably. In other countries they can mean different levels of study so it confuses some people :lol:

Check out CollegeBoard.com. You may be able to find a few schools that interest you (you can find schools based on major, geographical location and other factors that interest you). I would also recommend speaking to a College Advisor at your high school if you have one.

Please, let's come up with more generalizations :P

I didn't use motion blur D: If you're talking about the lines, I quite like them. Personal preference, I suppose. Yeah not really :P Just kind of playing around. I don't think I had seen Alyn before so thanks for the name drops :) Definitely some good work. Yeah I guess it's the digital painter in me talking :XD: After spending so long *just* painting it almost feels like cheating to suddenly start using textures. I guess I'll get used to it! I'd love to see some of your space work if you still have it :P

Spam is not cool.

I knew! :P Well I always kind of assumed they were anyway. When you consider that during the day (active traffic hours) the light routine is pretty much always the same, but at night the lights seem to cater to directions that have cars, I thought it was pretty obvious.

Thank you! :) Harsh is fine - I'm sure it is the truth :P They honestly were kind of snapshots. I haven't been into photography as much and at the time I was more trying to capture the moment/memories than actually craft artistic photographs. I appreciate the CC :) Thanks! :) I use one texture per planet but everything else is painted from scratch. I'm only just starting out but hopefully soon I'll be able to drop the "one texture per planet" :) Thanks a lot!! Well here's one :lol: http://img594.imageshack.us/img594/4834/acrossspacewalkthrough.jpg I had to go back and hide/unhide layers to take the WIP screenshots. Not my favourite way of going about it, but hopefully it works.

I haven't posted anything here in ages and with The Gallery being sooo quiet latley it kind of makes me feel guilty. So here's some stuff from the last 3 months or so. [hide=Digital Art]Newest to oldest: [/hide] [hide=Photography]Newest to oldest: [/hide]

Congratulations!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Construction is epic win! <3 Good luck with the rest of your goals :)

600 words is a guideline and more of a minimum than a maximum :) Longer stories (and editorial articles) are welcome, but we're not looking for novels! To get an idea of what we expect for length, look through some previous fictional articles :)

Quoting myself since this hasn't been officially answerend I think it would be best if you only used the caption itself. The point of the contest is to work with the captions that we give you, so try to base your entry solely around that :)
