The Black Tower

Overall, I think 2016 was good enough for me. I made some great friends, was lured into dark side (...and didn't get cookies ). The year was a busy one... probably next five months will be busier. Some bad parts but overall not bad. (In case the end of the world comes, at least I enjoyed for a few moments before)

Is anyone here?

Thanks Cindy for reminding me. Question, what do you do to stay awake? I am browsing DM a little to stay awake. 5 points for signing in, 5 for answering the question

To all the Shadowies and Lighties! And Happy Holidays to those of you that doesn't celebrate Christmas. ❤️

Last second month of this year. Does anyone know where 2016 went? 5 points for signing in, 5 for answering the question. Question: Think if a conspiracy theory (serious, funny, ridiculous, anything) about where 2016 went? Santa Claus kidnapped 2016 to dress up for Halloween because 2016 is bad enough.

Come PAINT with me!

Hello, This is a tough message to write. Given my past standing in this community, and my abrupt leaving of it a few years ago, I'll understand if you guys have forgotten or no longer welcome me here. But, I owe you all an explanation for why I had to take an impromptu hiatus from DM, and then ask your forgiveness: In 2012 I had moved back to Seattle and started a job there that gave me a lot of freedom to contribute often during the day. Unfortunately that stopped being the case, so I was only allowed access to the site after work. Then a string of issues with room mates using my rent money for things other than rent kept me moving throughout the year until 2013,…

In the continued hope to try and increase activity in my home within DM, I've come up with another game to play. Unlike Ask the DO, I don't think I've seen this one before. We're coming up on a few holidays, and with all the real issues going on in the world, i thought it'd be fun to focus on the small, insignificant or funny things in life. So, I'd like to ask you what stupid little thing you're thankful for, and what stupid little thing you'd like for Christmas (or any other holiday you might celebrate around this time), what your stupid New Year's resolution is, and what the ridiculous reason for your answer is. I'll start with an example: I'm thankful for my new bed…

So I was going through a bunch of old posts from back when I was on here before, and there was one game specifically that always brought laughs, a good amount of posts, and something unique from each player: Ask the Dark One What is this game, you might ask? It's very simple: The person above you answers the question from the post above them as "The Dark One" (typically just using all caps, like in the books). Then, they ask a question of the DO, and the next poster repeats this process. The more humorous the DO's responses, the better. DO responses don't need to be limited to the world of WoT, as sometimes pop-culture can help. Standard guidelines for posting anythin…

What is your favourite scary movie/book/comic/show/something similar? 5 points for signing in, 5 for answering the question Mine is Night Shift by Stephen King. My experience with scary stuff is extremely limited. P.S. This roll call is on time. Yay!

Welcome back to the BT. I remember your name but I can´t remember how long it has been since you were here the last time. *offers some tainted brownies* Take a brownie and feel like home again. Our dear Lady Dragon will add you to our private boards as soon as she sees this.

Quartermain looked around at the other individuals in the room. A pirate with a questionable past. A thief with invisible skin A woman with scientific knowledge. He looked down at the files again. One he knew of, and thought would be helpful to the team. But the other… It’d be difficult to know how to control him. Quartermain didn’t trust them, not any of them, but he knew that the abilities each of them had would be useful in this endeavor. He could see why this “M” had chosen them. Now to get to Venice to stop this “Fantom” from attacking the conference and start a world war. M spoke “The clock hands turn, gentlemen.” “Kicking us out already? A moment ago, it wa…

So she has joined the BT! Yay! Welcome, Kat. Take a brownie or two and let us know all about yourself. I know you like mafia, but do you like other games as well? Have you read all of the WoT books? Who is your favourite ashaman? Could you donate some clothes for my babies? They grow so fast and have a tendency to wear them out in a day or two. :D Panchi will soon be here to give you the key to our hidden boards.

Do you like brownies? We have brownies. There is probably Taraboner food too

Does anything better than pyjamas exist?

Apologies if im overstepping but i cant see a main BT roll call for this month so thought id put this up Sign in Brownie addicts! Dice Cindy Sooh Talmanes Basel BFG Nikon Zhon Ironeyes

Let´s play this game again. I know Nikon had an idea for a villain elimination game but since he hasn´t posted it I will start this first. I have looked at some online lists and combined them into the following list. Don´t kill me if I have missed your favourite hero. You decide what "best" means to you. Maybe it´s the strongest, the coolest or whatever. Maybe you´re thinking about the comic characters or the movie characters, it doesn´t matter. This is how to play. When it´s your turn you can "heal" one hero and "hurt" another one. Like this: Heal Hulk, hurt Iron Man Hulk 6 + Iron Man 4 - Rules: 1. Every hero starts with 5 H…

Welcome back! Pssst... when were you here the last time?

Ironeyes (a.k.a Marsh) is back! He went to get a cup of tea and disappeard somewhere in the Aiel desert. But we all know we can´t stay away from the tainted brownies for too long. :D Welcome back! It´s great to see you here again. Panchi will give you access to the other boards in a while.

So my girlfriend and I are discussing names for kids (not having one for the record, just discussing names). We can never agree on anything but were flipping through the encyclopedia (WoT of course) and are trying to find names that would work for an actual child. What are your best suggestions for names from WoT that would work for an actual kid in RL. Will choose our favorites and post a poll for voting. Not only will I give points for the best suggestions, but who knows, you could be partially responsible for naming my possible future child(ren). One she liked so far was Esmara. Apparently she tried to take over Andor in the War of a Hundred years and got …

Didn't want to hijack the other thread but I feel like this deserves it's own thread. To start: Faile: Perrin, I'm being attacked by Shaido... Perrin: Be right there. Faile: Wow, imagine if we didn't have cell phones. Perrin: Yeah that could have taken like 3 books.

So, this is the thing: My re-enactment group (middle ages) and I helped a young team of filmmakers to make a promotional video for a movie they'd like to make next year. If they win the contest their video is currently in, they get to have the budget to make the full length movie. For them to win, we need votes on the video. The video can be found here: https://theaudiencea...epentance-86604 Now, you need to register. Which is a good thing, seeing you can vote daily up until the 19th of August. Many thanks to watch the video and cast a vote. ps: with a few more people voting, we could actually win this contest. We held first place nearly all day yest…

"But the question is, do I need the Empire?" The real Quartermain sat forward in his chair. Nigel, who had been distracting the young visiter from England, went to the other side of the room. Quartermain had sacrificed much in his previous escapades in name of Queen and Country. He was tired, and wanted to live out the rest of his days without all of the excess adventure. But, as unknown assailants decimated the room moments later, he felt a familiar surge of energy course through him, and another familiar feeling he couldn't describe. Truth be told, he was tired of sitting around, and he didn't want to die sitting in an armchair surrounded by other old men. And, if …

*sigh* Me being totally dumb when it comes to technics + not really interested in techics + having a hard time making decisions + not being the richest person on the planet = makes it very hard to decide on a new phone. I´ve been boycotting iPhone so far but the rest of my family like theirs. Now they have lowered the price on iPhone 5s and I´m tempted to buy one. I need a new phone soon because the one I have shows signs of slowly dying. (It´s really old.) Now to my questions: 1. I realise that iPhone 5s is an old model. How long will it work? For how long will it be able to update without getting too slow? Will I be able to download new apps that I lik…
