Of not smoking. Doing pretty good so far. Been awake for 7 hours, no nicotine. And I haven't tried to kill anyone. I wonder if I'll make it.

Two months in a row! What!? The Tainted Times, baby... We've got the taint if you've got the time... wait... Let's start with the new faces! NEW ARRIVALS The voices in their head brought us THREE new members this month... if you haven't stopped in to welcome them yet, please do! Cawstrife was the first to follow the lure of Saidin to our midst. FrozenLake obliged us with writing a song about his favorite things, although he refused to dance. Dar'Jen Ab Owain slipped in just before month ended, and has no idea how insane we all are just yet. Oh, she'll see. PROMOTIONS We haz them! Come congratulate them in the Farmhouse! Ley…

I'll try to find the youtube video but a local new station had this on their Facebook feed and felt it was definitely BT worthy. https://www.facebook.com/abc30/videos/10154807115581482/

The Rules. 1. There will be Days and Nights, but each will only be 24 hours exactly ... although Day 1 might be a few hours longer. This will be a fast and dangerous game. Inactive people will probably end up dead fast. Days are for negotiating and building alliances / planning attacks. In the Night, people will die. The time chosen for the Deadline will be the same every night, regardless of when I post scenes, and will be chosen to best suit me. I will try to post scenes as soon as possible after deadlines have passed. I live in a timezone different from everyone and the time chosen for deadline may not be convenient for you in which case I recommend sending action…

Welcome! We're the Black Tower. Officially we're some Asha'man who're trying not to go mad, but in pracise being mad is what we love most, and that shows in being the spammiest social group on Dragonmount (basically, as long as you adhere to Dragonmount's rules, you can post anything in any non-sticky thread at the Black Tower), doing some crazy role-playing every now and then, and a lot of talking about food. On that subject, do you want some of our Tower-made Tainted Brownies? They're absolutely delicious and we put a replenishing weave on them so that the vile Shadowies won't eat them all before you have a chance. By the way, I am Leyrann, the Logain of th…

As the king stepped up on the platform in the grand hall of the castle, the crowd immediately died down. 'People of the land!' he spoke. 'My sources have told me grave news, and I see not why I should hesitate to bring it to you. This message is what it is, no matter how it is brought, as it appears, that there are people here, that wish us dead.' He looked to the noble knight, to his daughter the princess, his eyes missed the fool, he looked at his wife the queen, and others. 'But let us not be afraid. These vile minds will not best us! Let us stand strong together, and let us weed out these traitors! We will be one front, we will not let these people defeat us, an…

I recently upgraded to an XBOX One and have been checking out some games for it. So far have a racing game that came with it and a little fun game called Portal Knights. What is a game you enjoy?

So apparently like three or four tornados touched down in Wyoming yesterday. Kinda weird to see the conditions for tornados in the high desert smack dab in the Rocky Mountains. This ain't tornado alley! On a side note, Optimal viewing of the lunar eclipse taking place this August. Gonna be sweet!

Alright, so in books and movies there are types of storylines and characters that are so common that they become a cliché or trope. First let us talk about cliché that A) We love B) Annoy us C) we like in certain situations (give examples where you do or don't like it) Common clichés: 1. orphan/chosen one 2. prophecy/destiny 3. wise old advisor 4 love at first sight 5. class jumping 6. raised poor but is really an aristocrat in disguise. I will give examples once I get on my computer, but for now, what are your thoughts?

Can I haz access to the Shadow boards now? Pleeeeeeeeze?

Alright, since somebody messed up and gave me access to the Lightie boards, and I haven't been able to speak with my brethren, I have decided to obliterate one of you Light bound fools! As I have a 20 sided die, I will roll that once this thread reaches 20 replies. Whoever post this die lands on will have torment and agony bestowed upon them in a Dore Saidin battle as soon as the rollers are up. I figure I have to kill someone around here to get acces to the M'hael's Lair. So, whose brave enough to come meet their doom?!?! Or are all of you Light blinded fools scared?!?! I'm waiting!

Welcome to the Black Tower scavenger hunt! This is another opportunity to have fun with fantasy clichés. This is how it works: I will post three pics every day for five days. Each day will have a new theme. I will only post pics on this board, so that people that are (not yet) members of the BT can play. I will not post in threads that are more than a year old. Two of the three pics will stay until the game ends but one will disappear after 24 hours. So if you want to find them all you have to check in each day. If you feel a bit lazy (who doesn´t?) or have rl battles to fight you can just go search for them the last day. The game will end 24 hours after I …

standard hangman rules except: you will be playing for the light or the shadow if you are already in a faction you may be assigned to play for that faction HOWEVER because of the discrepancy in numbers we will be taking a cliched approach of fairness and we will try to keep the teams even. so... sorry, my dear shadow, you may end up playing for the light for this game but take heart in the knowledge that the great lord directs all for his own purposes and it'll all work out. if you are unaffiliated you can pick a preference (light or shadow) with your first post, but again you may be assigned to your second choice to even up sides. the only scoring we…

We love a movie series, but depending on the franchise, how many is too many sequels? Which series have yet to reach too many and which sequel became an unnecessary one? Favorite series? What should they stop at eventually or should have in the first place.

Welcome to the newest installation of Light vs Shadow. Keeping in in mind how much of a cliched theme is it, we have come up with a very unique theme. Can you guess it? It is... *drumroll* If you guessed it right, you get nothing (sorry for that but you can have some of the brownies from our endless supplies). If you got it wrong, you can still have brownies. To have all the fun that can be found through cliches, we will be hosting a few activities. Stay tuned as more and more activities start. See the next post for links. I hope you all enjoy this event. Sincerely, The Black Tower Event Organising Team

And I also have tons of points to give out. 30 more just this month. So, give me a reason why I hand out birthday points to you and not to someone else.

As part of our upcoming Light vs Shadow event, we are hosting a Hunger Games. Going with the theme of Light vs Shadow, you are required to choose a Faction. If you are a member of the Black Tower and fail to choose a Faction, you will be assigned whatever faction you are in. If you are a non member, you will be assigned the faction with fewer people or any faction at random. People of winning faction will get more points so you might consider killing members of other faction first. The two factions are: Light and Shadow... very cliché I know The Rules. 1. There will be Days and Nights, but each will only be 24 hours exactly ... although Day 1 might be a…

I'm thinking of a number between 1 and a million. First to guess it gets 10 points. I will only answer Higher or Lower to your guesses. Feel free to chat also. I'm bored. Go.

Welcome! Always good to see a new member join in. I'm Leyrann, the Logain, faction leader of the Light, which most certainly is the faction you should join. Before that there's some other stuff though, most importantly, our homemade Tainted Brownies! Now, please, tell us some more about yourself. Who is your favorite asha'man from the series? What other series do you like? How old are you? Where are you from?

So im probably super late on this but http://www.tor.com/2017/04/24/excitement-and-dread-looking-ahead-to-the-wheel-of-time-tv-series/ Feelings? thoughts?

Anyone got any? A few to start it off: Dicetosser1 will, after the updated Points Page, be the Black Tower member with most points to spend. I am the only staff member with an element angreal. Today in 1928 the first Mickey Mouse cartoon premiered.

I don´t want to go to work! Not that I don´t want to work, because I think I will have a fun day at work today. No, I don´t want to walk to work. Now, considering it takes me 15 minutes to go to work (if I walk really slow) it doesn´t take much to realise that I´m very lazy. (I was going to add "today" but really, it´s most days.) Tell me all about your lazy stories. How lazy are you? There might be some points involved, unless I´m too lazy to hand them out.

It's here! What you never knew you always wanted... the return of the dearly departed monthly Black Tower news, our very own Tainted Times! *the crowd goes wild* After a long drought, news of the planned Wheel of Time television series appears to have revitalized membership, and apparently someone kicked over a rock and long-inactive BT members began to resurface... Since it's been an age or so since the Tainted Times was published, let's go back in time a few months for this one. NEW ARRIVALS February of 2017 brought us new members Aradin and thehumantrashcan (better known as Oscar). March was a quiet month overall, but in April, Cross bravely vol…

Taint away!

Do you want points? Sign up to help for an event in Farmhouse. What is the best activity you have enjoyed at DM? (Whether at BT or anywhere else) 5 for signing in and 5 points for answering the above question. Light vs Shadow events have been my favourite at BT. I liked the occasional Hunger games too. Outside of BT, I liked Red Ajah's International Women's Week, the Great Human Race, Clan Wars at Aiel, and Culture Exchanges event.

*dramatically enters the tower* I'm BACK.

So I've never claimed to be completely sane, but sometimes I wonder about myself. I have had this habit of talking out loud to my cats for so long that I don't think I could break it if I tried. And sometimes, the things that come out of my mouth when talking to the cats... well, they amuse me. Hence ==> Twitter. I've been tweeting #thingsmycatsmakemesay off and on for a good year and a half now, and thought I'd share some of them with my tainted friends here. Feel free to chime in with things your pets or children cause you to say that are, in or out of context, amusing.
