The Black Tower

For the sake of having more characters, I will be using monarchs from the official unification on.

Me and my daughter had a discussion about teddybears being up during the nights, doing whatever they do, when we are sleeping. We were talking about what they do and what they eat and then we got to this: F: Aha! That´s what happens to the other sock! They eat them! T: I thought it was the secret washing machine conspiracy that eats them. F: No. Don´t you remember that the washing machine is the entrance to your secret lab? T: Right... I had forgotten. A perfectly normal family. *nods*

I proposed to Ithi last night and she said YESSSS!!!! We are extremely happy to share this news with the BT.

Tainted Times - August 2015 Believe it or not, but summer is already over. We can be proud of the Black Tower though, at least a bit. This month has been more active than the last, and we have seen the return of a former Dragon. Here, sadly, again none. I will mention the return of Talmanes, however, even though he did not post in the new/returning members thread. Welcome back! Also none. This month... You once again have the chance to earn points by creating pictures for the Tainted Times. I feel like a broken record right now... Games TinaHel's mafia game is coming to a close this "day" (in mafia terms), with only three playe…

Question... question... question. What would you like next month's question to be? 5 points for signing in, 5 for answering. Maybe something about breakfast

As you all know, I don´t understand anything about phones, so I hope somebody can help me out. My daughter has a iPhone 4S and want to install iMovie. The phone has ios 7.1 but needs to have 8.3. Questions: 1. How do you upgrade it? We checked program - update but it said it didn´t need to be upgraded. 2. How much slower does the phone get? Is it worth it? 3. Will her apps work as before or will they magically disappear? If so, any suggestions on how to save them? She has games where she has a high level and doesn´t want to loose them. 4. Anything else we need to think about? And don´t say that we should buy a new phone because that is out of th…

Whose life experience's would you want to live through??

http://www.sporcle.com/games/Sforzando/wheel-of-time-top-250 How many do you remember? I got 182 after trying a few times. I´m very pleased even though I forgot some easy, like Hopper and Tomas.

Tainted Times - July 2015 July has passed. A glance at the main page tells that this has not been the most active month in the history of the Black Tower, and I'll be honest, I, too, am to blame for that. So lets have a look at what did happen last month before we're going to make sure next month will do better. None, I'm sorry. Cairos has been promoted to Soldier, Chaelca to Attack Leader (that one's been coming for like three months I believe), and Mashiara Sedai to Dedicated! Congratulations everyone! Pointses are still up for grabs! I almost feel like just leaving it as it currently is... Or maybe I should up the points reward. Games…

What's going on in your lives?

What kind of stories do you guys think will be told about all our favorite characters down the line when memories become legend, and legend fades to myth? Like the time Perrin built an entire city with his power wrought hammer.

What does your phone think you say? Rules: Choose the middle option of the predictive text about 20 times (until it starts looping) and post the results.

that we might never be able to get ahead of General Discussion in the number of posts or at least not anytime soon

Tainted Times - June 2015 Another month has already passed, and we're over halfway through the year. Last month, we had a mafia game played, got several new and returning members, didn't get any submissions for anything related to the Tainted Times and celebrated my birthday. Okay that's not actually that related to the other things, is it? Balwer, ThePowerOfSaidin, welcome to the Black Tower! lord of the dawn and (oficially) Mawthtex, welcome back to the Black Tower! None yet, though I know there are four upcoming very very shortly, most likely within a few days. I'm going to keep the "This month" header here for now, as no one has take…

... and I hope you all do too. How's it going on here you bunch of absolute madmen (and women)?

Warning - this game will contain spoilers for A Memory of Light! ""Elayne, Rand needs me." " Rand needs us all." "He needs me more," Perrin said. "Min saw it, he said. Without me at the Last Battle he´ll die. Besides, I have a few fights to finish." He found Edarra sitting beside a fire, well rimmed with stones to prevent the chance of a stray spark escaping. These woods, dry as they were, could go up easier than a barn full of last harvets´s hay. She glanced at Perrin as he settled down near her. The Aiel looked young but smelled of patience, inquisitiveness and control. Wisdom. She did not ask why Perrin had come to her…

Am I the only one whose calendar shows its July already or us it really July? Question for the month is What is your desktop/mobile wallpaper? 5 points for signing in, 5 for answering the question. I have minions as my mobile wallpaper because it was one of the few images I had that didn't look weirdly sized when used for wallpaper. As for desktop wallpaper, it is a photo of my brother at a competition which no one would let me change.

Okay, now it´s time for a new elimination game. Thanks to all of you that sent in suggestions. I actually got too many in the end, so I have skipped some and put some together. I have added the books from where the scenes are taken. I hope I´m right, if I´m not let me know. Special for this game! Noone will have the patience to write the description of the whole scene, and sometimes when you are on your phone it´s hard to copy. That is why we keep the numbers they have and we can thus vote for scene number 1, 2, 5 etc. This is how to play. When it´s your turn you can "heal" one scene and "hurt" another one. Like this: Heal scene 1, hurt scene 2 H…

Dice walked around the wall of the Black Tower, looking at all the changes. He had been away for quite a while now but he had reason to return. He noticed the Lighties still sticking their noses in everywhere trying to get things the way they wanted and the Shadows sneaking around causing chaos as soon as the Lighties moved on. Some things had not changed. One thing that HAD changed is what bought Dice back at this time. He had something to do. He had someone to find.

Weird rhyming What else rhymes with shadow or light?

Welcome to the Black Tower. Please, have a Tainted Brownie (or 10. Or 100. Or whatever. We got replenishing weaves because they'd get stolen otherwise, but it also means you can keep eating). You will soon get a PM from our Social Group leader with all information regarding the Black Tower, and you will also gain the sub-board priviliges (did I spell that right?) sometime soon. Until then, have a look around at the main board and feel free to post anywhere where it doesn't say posts are restricted in the Opening Post or a post just after (or the sign-up thread or roll call).

Seven is usually a significant number and I have reason to celebrate the number... 7,777 reasons to be exact.

Dice comes into the place still doing the running man The place is a large room with a polished wood floor and mirrors on all the walls For some reason Dice feels a....compulsion...to dance.....infact to dance the Macarena in fact Only one problem....he doesn't know the Macerena!! Somehow considering the history of this... compulsion...and who is involved I may need some help! So who is willing to help me out here?

I just realized you didn't have a welcome thread yet. So, welcome!

Over Chae the Cute! Dice, I challenge thee.

What we now call the United Kingdom was at one point just Great Britain and Ireland. Before Great Britain became official in 1707, the two were just England and Scotland despite both being governed by the same monarch. For the sake of having more characters, I will be using monarchs from the official unification on. Not all of them had the country's best interest at heart and the wars and their decisions have impacted how we view them. Rules: 1.

What is the first word that pops in your head when I say summer? 5 points for answering and 5 for signing in.

What would you wear if the society didn't frown upon it? Would you rather go naked or cover yourself in flowing gowns? Would you change your styles or stick to one?
