Why half of my time on internet has to be just trying to connect to internet? Anyway, how are you all doing?

I'm checking internet while writing... That's been a while.

I´m going to London next summer. I have been there before but this is the first time that I´m going there with my daughter. Our main goal is to see the Harry Potter studio. Other than that we will do the ordinary sightseeing and probably shop a lot. My daughter is insisting on going to London Eye but I´m afraid of hights. We will see who wins that fight. :) Anyway, I need some good suggestions for hotels or b&b. It can´t cost too much since our budget is limited. But I want a decent room with a bathroom, and a good breakfast. I hope you can help me.

I suppose everyone knows the game, but if that's not the case: We write a story together, and do this by contributing three words at once. First I start with three words, then Asha'man A contributes three more words, Soldier B contributes another three, and so on. No limit on how often you post or anything as long as you don't make multiple posts in a row. And if you want to chat about other things in the meanwhile, don't forget to still write on the story. I start: In another world

What's everybody doing for Thanksgiving?

I borrowed Gardens of the Moon from the library last year. I have heard a lot of good things about the series. Unfortunately it was so hard to get into. Too many names, titles and places. To you that have read it - when did you start to understand whats happening and who is who? Is it enough to read a chapter or two or do I need to do some research first to understand it? I usually don´t have a problem getting into fantasy books but often the world and it´s beings are presented a little at a time. Is it worth investing all the time reading these books?

See post #5489 in the Gwampy thread in Fiddlesticks.

Sorry for posting roll call late. I didn't realize when October started *sigh* 5 points for signing in and 5 points for answering the question. The question is... What other Social Groups are you part of/active in? I am active in BT, WT, Aiel, WK and sometimes pop in Shayol Ghul and Band. I am/ have been a member of every Social Group at one time or another.

Is this true? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-34622478 Norwegians use the word "texas" as slang to mean crazy, it has emerged. But when did this start happening, and how unusual is it? To most of the world, Texas is known as a big state in southern America. But to Norwegians, it is also a word that frequently crops up in everyday conversation - often in the phrase "Der var helt texas!" [That was very completely/totally texas!]. The word is slang for "crazy" or "wild" and is used to refer to a chaotic atmosphere :)

Welcome to the Bank of the Tower! Feel free to deposit your points here with me, don't worry they're BTIC insured ;)

I'm think of a number between 1 and 1 million. Points to whoever gets it!

You can get 5 easy points just stop on by and ask 5 questions in my 50 questions thread. Doesn't get easier than that!

Sign Up Thread with backstory “The window is open, so’s that door! I didn’t know they did that anymore!” Anna danced around the castle. Elsa was going to be coronated as crown princess today, old enough that she could assume the throne should anything happen to their parents. Not that they needed to worry about that. As Anna went through that day, many things felt vaguely familiar. Meeting the handsome Prince Hans, enjoying the freedom of the open gates, even Elsa’s coronation seemed as though it had happened before. Perhaps this was the way things had always been meant to be. At the dinner, just as King Agnar was raising his glass for a toast, one of the seventies fell…

5 points for signing in, 5 points for going beyond that (AND THAT DOES NOT MEAN DOUBLE POSTING, BTW) Oops, Caps Lock was on. The special is 42 You can do a calculation, a relation, a reference, a picture or anything that can be related to 42, as long as you somehow mention 42. I am doing an easy one (7x7) - 7 = 42

Impress me... Lol that's all I can think of for now, however if someone comes up with a good idea for winning points for next month, then the best idea gets points.

I haven't had an OP fight in forever, any takers?

Calling all lighties! I would have called this meeting elsewhere but I don't have access to the Light boards right now. Anyway, Come forth legions of the light! Let us cleanse the place of shadow!

I have seen this game on other sites so I thought we should give it a try. The theme for this game is "Newspaper Headlines". I will give you a scene from WoT and five random letters and you will then make a great headline. For example: Event = Rand and company leaving the Two Rivers. Letters = A K Y F B - > Could become "Aes Sedai kidnaps young farmer boys!" Now, I made it really easy for myself with those letters. You will see that it´s much harder than that. 1. There will be 5 rounds. 2. You have to use the letters in the order they are written. You can´t add words, like a, the, of etc. You can use . , and !. 3. You have three days to come…

Are you guys excited? I know I can't wait. Who are you most excited to hear more about? I know I found the background on the Seanchan a Sea Folk in the BYB, so I hope there will be more on them

It was under 50 degrees last night and this morning, and I'm absolutely loving it. Anyone else a fan of Fall weather?

Welcome to the Black Tower, where Saidin flies all around and madness is in good supply. You're looking for that Dragon join eh? Well with some work, it'll be yours. Heck I used to be the Dragon so anything is possible. But for kick back, post, and find some things to get you points, you'll need them to get to Asha'man.

The Frozen Five were visiting Kristoff’s troll family. “I told you all you needed was a little bit of love.” Bulda, his troll mother, exclaimed. “It’s true" Kristoff laughed, smiling at Anna. She nodded. “It’s nice to be taking a break from the wedding preparations though.” “I’ve always imagined a wedding” Olaf said, “I bet they’re so happy and warm, with all your family and friends, and love filling the air!” “Well, most of the family…” Anna sighed. “I wish Mom and Dad could be there.” Elsa put a hand on her sister’s shoulder. “Our lives would have been very different if they hadn’t sailed through that storm… If they hadn’t been going to Rapunzel and Eugene’s wedding, …

Ashan has come to the Black Tower to learn all the mysteries of Saidin, and come to the right place indeed! Not sure when the next one is scheduled, but we actually have a class that teaches you how to use Saidin and of course One Power fights :D For now you start as a Civilian, but soon you can move up to Soldier and choose a Faction. Be warned, we're all a bit mad here. ;)

Welcome to my first Tarmon Gai´don Mafia. The game is based on A Memory of Light. I will post a lot of quotes from the book but, as the scenes, they are not in any way clues to the roles or characters in this game. The rules 1. I hope for lots of activity. You have to post at least one game related post every game day. Short LOAs are okay if you tell me in advance. 2. No editing. 3. Do not discuss this game outside the thread if you haven´t been given permission to do so. 4. Don´t quote my PMs. 5. Days are 72 hours and nights are 24 hours or when all night actions are received. 6. Day one may last longer. 7. This is a hybrid hammer game. The player with the most …

After saving the Citadel from Saren and Sovereign, the Commander Shepard was ordered to scout the galaxy, to track Geths and exterminate them. No one, except his closest companions believed the Reapers were the real menace. The Reapers were ancient alien race programmed to destroy every advanced civilization. Sovereign, one of them, had almost succeeded to destroy the seat of the galactic government with the help of Saren, a Turian he had managed to mind control and an army of Geth. Fortunately, all were stopped by the Commander and a coalition of alien and human armies. Blown to pieces thanks to the sacrifice of human ships, Sovereign disappeared for good and nothin…
