Does anyone know what sort of error would cause my computer screen to look like this?:

I'm on Windows 7; only Sleipnir 4 and Media Monkey were open (both times it happened, anyway). The computer didn't shut down afterwards, but was completely unresponsive, so I had to use the power button. This is the first and second time it's happened.

I wondered if the album title was referencing something else, but I didn't realize it was a well-established expression. Also, I never said I liked Enigma (I do, though). ;P

P*2b

EDIT: Yay, I can post again!

By the way, there should be an elision between "le" and "Ender" in your title. ;) Thus: "L'ENDER EST MORT, VIVE L'ENDER !"

Are you referencing Enigma's album?

LOL

I knew I was missing something obvious. I can't believe I thought that you might give me the chance to drop one of my pawns there....

On the plus side, I have all my pawns back.

I'm sorry to hear all that, Possessed. I've made it this far in life without ever losing anyone I really loved, not even a pet, but I know it would be hard to part with any of my grandparents, knowing it would be the last time. I'll keep your family in my prayers.

We do not!

Ten seconds later and you would have had to wait until tomorrow afternoon for my move. ;)

EDIT: Not that that matters... :P

 Do you know what else would be nice?  Punctuation.

:p

 Do you know what else would be nice? Capitalization of our name.

...a fair answer from the view point of the individual so afflicted for certain...but what of the same scenario viewed from the vantage point of his/her child/children? Would such as these consider an early or later exit to be the most beneficial to themselves?

The best option, it seems to me, would be for the gambler to make a real effort to quit, for the sake of those he was harming. I think it would be better that the gambler didn't kill himself in any situation, but whether that would actually cause less harm would depend on the specific situation.

Haha, I guess there's not much you can do once she decides it's time to turn on the TV. :D

I shall look forward to seeing it--and you--in a couple (few?) months.

EDIT: I find it funny how most the only communication I've been maintaining with my own father has been over an internet forum.... :P

Merci, Papa et ender. :)

And Duracell, the French of France would never accept me with my English-Québécois accent. ;)

Snoke is a goofy name, but not as goofy as other Star Wars characters that I (and probably you) already love.
Boba Fett... Bib ForTuna... Snoke sounds like Shaft in comparison.
"Supreme Leader" has a cool old school sci-fi feel to it. I like it. And like others has said, it's likely we won't hear his actual name mentioned often, if at all.

 I was just thinking that it had a lame, cheesy sci-fi feel to it. ;)

What they do with his character is far more important than what they call him, though.

For those that don't remember or didn't know, I've been living in Québec for about ten months (with my family) to learn French. A couple days ago, I had to present a five-minute song analysis in French class. I spent a lot of time on it, and didn't finish the written portion without help. I was feeling fairly nervous, since I got laughed at during the last presentation I made (which wasn't terribly well done).

This time, however, I didn't feel too nervous the day I had to present. I asked to go first, to get it over with as quickly as possible. To my surprise, I made it through without my knees knocking together, no one laughed, and got 96% to top it off, so I'm pretty happy (it helps that my usually cranky teacher was in a good mood).

If Hell is real and sinners do end up in it, they suffer only as long as they sinned, and their suffering is only as great as their sins. Since no one has committed infinite sins, no ones burns in Hell eternally.

Every sinner who has ever lived atones eventually -- every sinner.

 That sounds more or less like the Catholic concept of Purgatory, though those who reject God even once they've seen him do get stuck in Hell forever.

Some think that no one would reject God in this case, and that even if they did, they would change their mind eventually. I disagree, though I can't offer any evidence either way.

You'll have to watch the third with me when I get back to Alberta...I still haven't seen it, and I'm feeling left out. :(

Haha, happy birthday. :)

EDIT: Do the "reply", "bookmark", "report", etc. buttons look like part of your signature for you too, or is it just me?

I was kind of hoping that the new continuity would actually be free of blatant contradiction, but I guess I've been disappointed.

Well, hopefully this won't be permanent, but seeing that only one person even considered joining the League of Bunnies and even he never said a definitive yes or no, I decided that I should leave until the Team_Ender situation ends. Congratulations Team_Ender on your wonderful stalemate.

Hold on a minute, we all joined (in French, no less)!

Team_Ender

As I have already mentioned, sometimes I can't tell if people are joking around or not, thus, I feel that I will never feel comfortable at originaltrilogy.com as long as this Alternate Reality Game is going on.

Goodbye! I'll see you soon...hopefully.

 Hopefully we will. We are joking around, but not at the moment, as we don't want to see this bout of delightful silliness drive you away.

I have enjoyed this thread immensely...thank you Danfun...although I seem to have a lot of catching up to do if I am to understand what it is for...

Seemingly we have now formulated teams? How might I now join this team my good Bunny Emperor? What then shall be our next move?

 Read at least the first couple pages of each of the following threads (in the given order):

http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Negative-One-and-TeamNegativeOne/topic/17827/

http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Join-Team-Ender/topic/17848/

You'll probably need to follow links in the first one to get an idea of the background behind it, since you haven't been out of Off Topic much, and especially not recently.
