Titanomachy Mafia Sign-Ups After years under Kronos' tyrannical rule, Rhea has instigated her son Zeus' rescue of his siblings and overthrow of his father. Her neice, Metis, had helped Zeus rescue his siblings from Kronos' bowels by making a concotion of mustard and wine for him to give to Kronos during his undercover op as the Titan King's cupbearer. Now with his siblings, three cyclopes, three hundred handed ones, and a few unhappy Titans, Zeus is ready to take on the army of the Titan King and the ruler of the Universe himself.

Welcome to the Shadow Winter Lodge! This winter has been an unusual one. Some might even say that the presence of the Taint is much stronger than usual. Father Winter has struggled to keep his grasp our planet this year, with his strength seeming to ebb and flow. Try as he might, the cold and frost seem to be rolling off the ever-slippery Taint, like a disastrous oil spill. But now as Father Winter makes his last stand, sending blizzards and gusts to try to waver the hold of the Taint on this land, we invite you inside the Shadow Winter Lodge, Lightie and Shadow alike, to play some games with us as hold out against Father Winter's last hurrah. Come join us…

Ok, my WoT Lolz aside, this is a thread for animals doing silly things. Points will go to the one that makes me laugh the hardest (or for just the most effort put in).

I am late, but here it is! This is for all those weird news you read every day when you scratch your head or shake your head and think to yourself "What is wrong with the world?". The Tainted News, of a world more mad than you can comprehend, belong here in this thread. (This is the part where an example of a story would be good, but I haven't had the time to find any yet, so I'll follow up on that later) Post away! Let's shake our heads together! Maybe there will even be a facepalm or two!

What guilty pleasures you enjoy? What things you shouldn't like or do but you do? It can include anything from eating weird stuff to behaving weirdly (as long as everything is pg-13 of course )

So it's like Word Association, except with GIFs! You post the first GIF that comes to mind after viewing the last poster's GIF. RIP Mobile and Slow Internet Users. Brought to you by the Shadow I'll start!

Many tries some kind of book challenge each year. Some simply want to read a certain amount of books but others follow lists like this: Have you done anything like this and if so, what kind of challenge was it? Me and my daughter are trying to put together one that we can both try on this year. And... I really need some good reading advices. What great books did you read last year? It can be fantasy or not.

So who all has the Encyclopedia? Anyone find some interesting nuggets of information? I checked on some main characters and was a bit disappointed that it didn't do much but summarize. Great resource for looking up the random obscure history though.

:wub: Welcome to the Black Tower Valentines Event! :wub: And just in time for Valentine's Day (albeit barely)! I made sure to include something for both the Lighties (unfortunately ) and my dear Shadows with this event! Here's how it works: If you are a Shadow, you can write a Valentine's Day poem or haiku to any of the Forsaken or to any BT Member (another Shadow member preferably ). If you are a Lightie, you can write a Valentine's Day poem or haiku to any of the "Good Guys" or to any BT member (and hopefully none of you have been too friendly with any Shadow anyhow ). You get 5 points for each submission you make, via a post in this thread. You can …

There I was, perusing around DM, thinking all is right in the world, when I stumble upon a locked mafia game. "This is unusual" I think, and so I click on it to check it out. And lo and behold, there is my name! Goodness Zander, voting me when you know I won't be there to defend myself!

Happy New Year! The question for this month is anti-resolution. What you DON'T want to do this year? I don't want to function on little sleep.

Yes, my VISA is approved and I am off to the UK on the 22nd of December!!!!! Best Christmas ever!!!!

When you're writing, and got this great chapter with all the foreshadowing that you're working on, and at once you realize you can't do it like this without spoiling wheter or not characters are gonna survive. $%^.

I am wondering about this.

Ever have one of those nights that starts out like any other but ends up being the best night of your life? It was June the 22nd, 1990. Our final day of school. There was Oliver Chamberlin, Peter Page, Steven Prince, Andy Knightley, and me. They called me "The King". Because that's my name - Gary King. Newton Haven was our home town, our playground. Our universe. And that night was the site of a heroic quest. Our aim? To conquer the Golden Mile - 12 pubs along the legendary path of alcoholic indulgence. There was the First Post, the Old Familiar, the Famous Cock, the Cross Hands, the Good Companions, the Trusty Servant, the Two Headed Dog, the Mermaid, the Beehive, th…

How did you welcome this year? I slept.

What time is it where you are now? 5 points for signing in, 5 for telling the time. Its 6:21 am here.

Gary and his friends are re-attempting the infamous pub-crawl that they failed 20 years ago and reach the fabled The World's End. I mean, what can go wrong? Rules 1) NOBODY DIES PERMANENTLY IN THIS GAME 2) Game consists of 48 hour days and 24 hour nights. Day Phase is a regular hybrid lynch - the player with the maximum votes dies (gets converted to an android). Tie will be randomised 3) During the Night Phase, the androids can post, discuss and get to vote on who dies that night. The player with the maximum vote dies (gets converted to an android). Tie will be randomised 4) Character reveal is allowed. Role reveals are NOT allowed 5) If I feel something is outside…

We're two sides of the same coin, as far as I see it. So, presents. Mostly Red. Since I was Raised from the Red. And, you know ... Reds and the Black Tower have a looooong history ... Anyhoo, presents:

Points will be awarded to all participants. Non BT members can join in for the fun too. The game will feature choices and you have to vote for one to progress the story forward (Yes, I have probably copied the idea of game from somewhere). Bold (and maybe colour too your choices so that I can find it easily) Game will keep on progressing. If no one replies for 24 hours (and makes me unhappy by doing that), I will randomly advance the game. It begins... The Black Tower members and envoys stumbled out of their quarters blinking at the rising sun. Who dared to wake them before the sun had risen? Lighties blamed Shadowies, Shadowies…

Merry Chrismas everyone! May you all have a crazy holiday!

Welcome to the madhouse! I hope you will feel like home among the crazy people that inhabit the Black Tower. Sit down, eat some tainted brownies, and tell us all about yourself. Have you read all the WoT books? Who is your favourite Asha´man? What size are your shoes? Is Gollum lovable or just wonderful? People will soon come to greet you. If you have any questions, just ask. Our leader, Panchi, will soon add you to our private boards.

Welcome to the BT, Kasia! I guess we are more than a month late with this thread but lets forget about that and instead eat tainted brownies! These are extra tainted Christmas brownies. Don´t eat too many at once because the taint will make you feel... strange... at first. :D Now, sit down and tell us all about yourself. Have you read all of the WoT books? Who is your favourite character? Who is your favourite Asha´man? What colour is your toothbrush? Would you consider yourself crazy, insane or just generally mad? I don´t know if you already have access to our hidden boards but if not then our leader, Panchi, will take care of it. If you have any qu…

I just wanted to make sure you all knew. One of the best series I've ever read, with some great foreshadowing/hidden in plain sight stuff.

Sorry for not being here lately.I´m going to make up for it by giving out points! Post wonderful Minions pics and memes - I will award the three best with 10 points each. I love this one:

Whoever adds up all of the points people have earned since my last update. Name to be in alphabetical order please.
