Welcome Chaotik! It's always nice to see a new member joining. Do you want some tainted brownies? Eat them while you're waiting for the mods to finally add you to the Black Tower, allowing you to view the subboards, and don't worry about running out of them. I've put a replenishment weave over them. (also because I know otherwise some shadowie will take them all)

Watch this to see how polar bears celebrate Christmas. Be sure that you check the last pics. :)

I know I do a lot of A-Z games, but they are easy and fun for me... and this game everything has to do with mythology (all kinds) the first word/name will be in honor of my beloved man cat who died in May... Ares

M'Hael has been making secret plans regarding Blight. The plans have been in motion for long. The plan is to set creatures of Blight out to bring torment to the world. If successful, the Blight might end up covering the whole world and Shadow shall rule. The few brave Asha'man, Dedicated and soldiers who learn of this plan have to thwart the plans of Shadow. Through his dying breath, a Soldier informed Light about these plans which he had found out as a spy. Now the fate of the whole world is in the hands of these few bravehearts. If successful, they might prove to be a thorn to the Shadow's path. Light vs Shadow week will be beginning from today and lasting til…

Welcome to the November 2014 Tainted Times!!! Have some candy... We have two new civilians!!! *gasps* Brownies and candy with the welcome to the BT. MatrimMasterOfLuck Nandar Riatin *cries* Still no promotions. (Points to whoever is promoted next month, if only one person gets promoted, they will get all of my points that I can give out... that's 40 FYI) Activity is starting to pick up speed again in my opinion... let's see what went on Tina hosted another Elimination Game, but this one's theme was: Best ASOIAF (A Song of Ice and Fire) Characters. Winner for the Best Character goes to.... ARYA STARK!!! Darthe has sign-ups for his Black To…

When did November rolled in? It was end of September just a few days back. Sorry for delaying roll call. I forgot that November is here. No wonder I got days wrong looking at October in calender. Question for the month: Did you remember where your keys are? I don't have a key so I don't need to remember where it is

I have 20 points to give out. Amuse me.

We have so far eliminated characters from WoT, HP and ASoIaF. Now it´s time for Disney Movies. When I picked these movies I looked at different top lists and the Lights summer event thread that was about our favourite Disney movies. I have choosen to only pick animated movies. This is how to play. When it´s your turn you can "heal" one movie and "hurt" another one. Like this: Heal Mulan, hurt Up. Heal Mulan 6 + Hurt Up - Rules: 1. Every movie starts with 5 HP (healing points). 2. You can only vote once every 5 attack posts (4 between your first and last) OR once every hour. 3. A movie can get a maximum of 25 HP. 4. When the…

Yeah, that's basically every thread around. Why not make it 50+ or 5+ in the last day?

Thank you :) Some people might get points.

.... Don't lie.

We in the Black Tower OBVIOUSLY know how to party. And being tainty and all, we must show the world that we certainly do Halloween the best! So post pictures of you and your loved ones' Halloween costumes and show DM we are the Masters and Mistresses of all things Dark and Evil! Except for you Lighties. You can be cute and stuff I guess... I'll kick us off. This is the most effort I've put into a costume in years! Also sadly beardless. Damn you Movember. But if anyone wants to donate to help Men's Health... Click here! Now post away!

I missed my people... my unofficial break is over now that the second quarter of school is here... can I have brownies?? and in celebration, I have pointsies to give out to those who please me.

My fellow tainted, please help me in welcoming our newest member... Nandar Riatin! He has traveled from from the house of Riatin in Cairhien in hopes of joining the M'Hael and learning the wicked weaves known as compulsion in order to help him win the Game of Houses and eventually rise to the throne. Even though he wants to join the shadow, and thus will some day face the forces of light on the battlefield, we may yet still sway his decision and get him to join the light. So my fellow members of the light faction, and those of the shadow, please come and celebrate the decision Nandar has made in coming to the tower and joining our elite force of channelers.

Adding spoilers so you can decide which to read first. Good news: I got over 100 posts in the last 24 hours Bad news: I got over 20% of the posts on DM in the last 24 hours (which tells something about general activity)

Come on guys, have some fun. Need a few tainted brownies first?

What would be the first weave that you'll want to learn if you discover that you can channel? 5 points for signing in, 5 for answering the question

This one is fairly straightforward, IMO. One person will name a category. The next person to post must then come up with 5 items that fit that category. Using Google for ones you don't know is fine. So for example, if I was given "Name 5 WoT nations", I could say: Illian Tear Mayene Andor Murandy and then I say the one I leave you with... Name 5 nations in Europe.

Are you already taking bets with one another on how long I stay this time?

"These arent my entrails!" "Why is Chaelca Smiling?" And the family favorite, "Hide the sword" So, it is done. let the old regime of terror and madness fade away. and a new one take its place! A curious friend request from an old friend has brought me back from beyond the mists... whats the situation people?

Let´s do this one more time. The theme this time is Best Characters from A Song of Ice and Fire. You can choose what "best" mean to you. It can be your favourite character or the, in your oppinion, most well written character. It was hard for me to pick characters this time since there are so many. I tried to stick with the main characters but I just had to add some for the pleasure to kill them. That means that I might have removed one of your favourites. Sorry. How to do: I have chosen 30 ASOIAF characters. Every time you post you are allowed to "heal" one character and "hurt" one character. For example: 1. Jon Snow 5 2. Tyrion Lannister 5 Heal Jon, h…

I would like to get some good smoothie recipes. This is the one that I use: 2,5 dl yogurt 1/2 banana 1 dl frozen blueberry or raspberry or a combination of blueberry and raspberry I have tried with frozen mango and fresh strawberries as well.

Hello everyone! I know that our actual tainted bonding anniversary is not until January but.....okay I couldn't wait. I've braced myself for the backlash of an Aes Sedai that has never realized her self worth and impact upon my life. So, now that I'm back, I want to kick off a party that is uniquely adequate and appropriate for my Tainted Aes Sedai and I know you awesome people of the Tower can help me in that endeavor. Pank...errr..I mean Panchi. When you first bonded me you where known by a different name but....a rose called by a different name is still but a rose and smells just as sweet. You are a remarkable young lady that stumbled into my life and changed i…
