So...

Ok so the adding/subtracting one's age thing sounds a little dumb, but if it manages to be a successful forum game then my point still stands completely. >_>

I want to punch the freshman in the face.

Have you seen how they're being taught to do math now?

Yeeeaaaah I really don't understand how it's possible to re-teach math.

Basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division really can't be taught too many different ways, if you ask me. At least not efficiently.

So...

I wouldn't say it is likely for a near-unwinnable game that is currently only being played by no-names to be passed down to new members. I found the reaction these kids had to me pointing it out amusing, and made this thread because I figured most spammers wouldn't be bothering the check the game's thread.

Well it's never "officially" passed down but new people jump in and old people leave all the time. And thus, so long as the thread receives enough attention, it keeps going and new members just keep picking it up. It already has been passed down. And it will be passed down again, any time someone new decides to jump in.

Edit: Ok so up until this point I thought we were still talking about the original Men vs Women thread and not this new remake that just showed up.

But if the new one gets enough attention as the old one, then the point should still stand. *shrugs*

Is it bad that...

I was watching TV just now and one of those commercials came on along the lines of "if something bad happened because you took one of these drugs, call this number", you know those? Anyway I heard them say "If you've been injured by one of these testosterone-boosting drugs-" and the first thing that came to mind was "Some men got hocked up with too much testosterone, did stupid stuff and hurt themselves?" and then the commercial mentioned heart attacks and strokes and I was like "Oh..."

Is it bad that that's the first thing that came to mind?

Hey Spam

Real Life. Where I have the muse to RP. But not the time. I'm so typologically frustrated.

I know that feel.

I mean the game Men vs. Women, race of ages to 1,000,00. The thread is right below this one ATM.

Oh. Well then that's a forum game. It will just keep going and is very likely to be passed down to new members.

...I don't see what the problem is.

I want to punch the freshman in the face.

Man, I don't even like my own generation. The vast majority of people in my high school are just... you know what, I don't want to bum myself out talking about it.

I remember the freshman class that came in my senior year of high school was just utterly hated. Both teachers and students were making comments about how ridiculously stupid they collectively were, most couldn't even talk properly. They were banned from assemblies that year because they behaved poorly every time they were brought in. Every freshman I had classes with couldn't understand the most basic of things, I remember one time they were complaining "this is too much" for having to read a small paragraph (Shorter than this post) for a study of film class I was in.

Oh yeah, kids these days seem to have a serious tl;dr problem. Any time one of my teachers asks the class to read, like... any quantity of writing longer than a sentence or two, everyone groans and acts like it's some ridiculous request. It's like I'm one of the only kids with any sort of reading ability.

So...

I don't know what Race of Ages is, but I've had roleplays that lasted several years, if that means anything.

Age of the Draconides

And I reiterate, yeehaw.

Be sure to re-read the rules of the RP before you dive in. But other than that, feel free to get started!

Age of the Draconides

Dawn in the Kingdom of Sorenaye. The Inside woke as it typically did; no pressing concerns, nothing that pressured them to wake early, before the ones who hunted them. No, the Inside woke casually, only concerned with the frivolous affairs that kept the attention of the noble classes.

In particular, the Prince of Sorenaye woke without much care, ready to start another day filled with whatever he could find to entertain himself. “Good morning, Xavier.” He called to the Titan companion basking in the sun that came through the window as he entered his living quarters. The beast had lived in the castle for a few years now, living practically as a housepet as Prince Dominique made an effort to keep him as well-trained as possible. He’d received the creature when it was only a foot off the ground, and it had already grown to almost his own height. “You know, if you get much bigger, you won’t be able to just wander the castle anymore.” He spoke up, petting his Draconide between the two small horns that protruded from his head. “We’ll have to move you someplace else.” Of course, he knew Xavier would grow to an impressive size someday. His parents didn’t pay for the skinny build of a Raptor, after all. He just didn’t expect him to grow so rapidly.

Xavier rose to his feet as Dominique spoke, hanging his head in the windowsill, light from the sun peeking over the walls reflecting off of his dark blue scales. “You want to go outside?” he asked, retrieving the chain leash he always took the Titan out with. Xavier snapped his jaws excitedly, scurrying to Dominique’s side. “Guess so.” He grinned.

After securing the leash to Xavier’s bejeweled collar, he took the Draconide outside to see the Kingdom. Of course his presence on the streets always attracted some stares, though Dominique never was sure whether the looks were because of his princely status or the creature at his side. Dominique didn’t mind much, though. He was used to this treatment – but he didn’t care; all he wanted to do each day was explore what the kingdom had to offer. He kept his eyes open for some new excitement.

Meanwhile, on the edge of the Kingdom of Sorenaye, dawn rose on a relatively calm morning. Birds sang, families woke, and most greeted the morning from the safety of their homes, as sheltered as possible from the threatening wilderness, filled with creatures that could unexpectedly attack on even the calmest of mornings. However, while most Outsiders shied away from this danger, there was one in particular who embraced it on this fine morning, spending time with a rare visitor.

“Wooooww….! You’re so big!” Maya exclaimed, voice full of wonder. From her position on the ground, her neck tilted way back, and her gaze reached way, way up to take a look at her monstrous new friend. “We almost never see Towers around here! I forgot how big they can get!” she mused, watching the creature enjoy his breakfast of pine needles. “And… is that your nose on top of your head?” she asked almost as if she expected an answer, squinting as she tried to get a better look, silently wishing she could climb a tree or something, so as to stand at eye level with the impressive beast.
