The Black Tower

We are getting 5000 replies closer on the General Discussion board every month, which means we would need 28 months before we can pass them. WE CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT!!!!!!

This game is pretty simple. The goal is to knock off whoever is on the hill. I start on the hill.

Just got home from hospital, splintered a carbon arrow while shooting and the cracked end punched a perfect round hole into my wrist at the back of my thumb. They say a tendon might be severed though they'll have a better look on Wednesday...

Take a song title and let us know what WoT character said it. No AMoL spoilers of course. Like this: You are not alone (Michael Jackson) - Lews Therin to Rand

If you have any questions for Brandon Sanderson and/or Harriet post them here. I can ask them for you when I meet them at the signing and go out to dinner with them on the 8th. You can also pm me your questions, which will be easier for me to check. I'll check Dragonmount at night on the 7th. Will be meeting him on the 8th. If there is anything you've been dying to have asked please let me know.

Hello, I'm new to DM, and even newer to the BT, but thought I'd put this here since it's called the Asha'man. To the tune of Johnny Cash, "The Highwayman." I'm wondering if I spelled everything right, and if each of the four lives are congruous? Looking to clean up the recording and the video, but wanted to make sure I get the facts straight. Thanks for the time.. "The Asha'man" [FYI, replaced original video] 1/8/2013 (Welcome to Tarmon Gai-don)...Editing to show new lyrics...new video on its way! I was an Asha'man, Tarmon Gai'don on the mind Pain in the Aes Sedai Many a Trolloc fell when I destroyed their FadeMany a Seanchan died upon m…

I am so sick tired of hearing this whenever I mention a woman doing something reprehensible and disgusting in this series. Because even if it's true, it still doesn't help me enjoy the scenes any better. It only serves to make me feel bad. I have female friends. Pretty good ones too. I like girls. I like the cast of My Little Pony for light's sake, but when I'm asked me to find Elayne and Nyn forcing insincere apologies out of their mouths at Mat funny, then no, I just can't Burn me, I don't think I would've found that scene funny even if the genders WERE reversed. It'd still be contemptible

Hot thread points here! Come and get 'em! Overall a very quiet December - is the Black Tower losing its spam mojo? Perish the thought! Threads counted include everything in the main board and the Village that is NOT an official staff announcement or pinned game thread. To be counted, the thread must have crossed a threshhold (50 posts, 100 posts, or 150 posts) between December 1st and December 31st - midnight Mountain Standard Time. I checked the November Hot Threads post to make sure whether something was counted in November or not. As always, let me know if I missed something that should have been included, or messed something up. The December Hot Thread w…

New Year - New Points. Post something that I haven´t seen/heard of before and some of them might be yours. It could be facts, jokes, pics, whatever. Go!

Really. Which site made you laugh the hardest? I'll start. http://www.wotprevod.org/Humor/

So many threads, so little time... You came, you wrote, you got points. Then your magnificent work got swamped by spam and brownies, and moved off the main board. Clearly, your brilliance deserves another chance to astound us, and a chance to impress new members of the BT. So, please post a link to your favorite thread(s) here! You can post a link to a thread you started, or a thread someone else started. You can even quote a specific post that makes your side split. We want another chance to ROFL! Do it! You know you want to ....

Leelou and Tina presents: The Tainted Days of Christmas - A Black Tower Advent Calendar Tomorrow it´s December 1 and that means that our tainted advent calendar begins. Each day one of you will be given a task. If we don´t say anything else you will do the task in this thread. Write what day and task it is and then do the task. If we say that you should do the task in another thread then do it there and then post the link(s) in a post here (and write day and task as well). Leelou and I decide if you have done it well or if you need to give it another try. Each task is worth 10 points. If you haven´t signed up but want to play just send us a PM and we will add yo…

Not only is this the last month of the year - it´s also the last month before AMoL!!! 5 points for telling us that you are here. 5 additional points if you post one AMoL prediction. It can be anything - plausible or less plausible. Use your imagination or just be dull and say that Demandred is King Roedran. If you haven´t read ToM - skip all of our posts and just write your own as there will be spoilers. No spoilers for AMoL is allowed though. Post only once! My prediction: I´m afraid that my favourite character - Min - will die.

So here is a game that I have, appropriated, from Shayol Ghul. It is simple. Each person posts telling us why the person above them is mad. Example Pants - My brother is mad because he bought Skyrim the week before exams. Maw - Pants is mad because he is talking about bloody Skyrim! Pants - Maw is absolutely bonkers because another person mentioned Skyrim Heart - Pants is mad because he runs around wearing highly combustable materials. Etc etc etc Obviously you need to wait for someone else to post before you can post again. There does not need to be any links between accusations of madness but be creative. Use colloquial terms for madn…

Only 30 shopping days left until Christmas, boys and girls! What do want Santa to bring you? Have you been good or bad? When you contemplate the days ahead, is it with joy or resignation? Do you put up your holiday decorations the day after Halloween, or have they been moldering in the garage for years? Do you hum along with Christmas Muzak, or daydream about taking a bazooka gun to the PA at your local shopping mall? Your thoughts, please. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXh7JR9oKVE

On the First day of Christmas the Dark One gave to me, a trip to Shayol Ghul. On the Second day of Christmas the Dark One gave to me, two hunting draghkar and a trip to Shayol Ghul. On the Third day of Christmas the Dark One gave to me, three ta'veren, two hunting draghkar, and a trip to Shayol Ghul.

On the Sixth day of Christmas the Dark One gave to me, six sn…

Ok, so I have a young niece and nephew. As a result, I've seen several cartoons that have come out in the past year and it got me to thinking about the shows that I watched as a kid. The new ones just don't seem the same. The other day I was at the store and saw one of my favorite shows as a kid and it was not expensive, so I had to pick it up. Here is the intro: I haven't seen the remake, so I'm not sure how it is. I'm a little afraid to see it actually. Does anyone else feel this way sometimes? What do you remember?

I resolve to have more fun. I resolve to get a tattoo. I resolve to finally buy that bottle of Makers Mark.

Thanks again to everyone that posted in our last discussion thread. Now it´s a new month and a new topic. We are going to discuss random acts of kindness. And who could be more suited to lead this discussion than our very own Random?! Random joined DM in July this year. He immediately became a member of the Black Tower and it didn´t take him long to reach the rank of a Storm Leader. He is also a member of Shayol Ghul. Random does charity benefits, concerts, or volunteering regularly. Last weekend his band, Pride Falls, took part in a charity concert that Random hosted. All the proceeds from the concert benefited Christmas House, a local charity that buys toys and…

Because you can read in Light. Shadowies won't be able to read aMoL easily.

DM ish kinda quiet... and its been too long since we just had a random chilled spammy convo thready. How's everybuddy? :) *sets out a plate of brownies*

Welcome everybody to the first showing of the Shadow Ballet! The star of this show is the Shadow's very own M'hael, Turin!! Tonight's ballet will be of "The Nutcracker." Everyone please take a seat and some snacks and enjoy.

Hello everyone and welcome to Apples to Apples! I shall be posting the green cards here, and I shall be posting the final winner along with everyone else's cards here as well. Please do not spam this thread, but active discussion about the cards that other players played is fine. Here are some things that were in the previous sign-ups thread as well. 1. The game shall start by me giving 7 cards to every person. 2. I shall play a green card in the main game board and every person shall send in a red card that best matches the green card. The green card shall be an adjective, and the 7 red cards shall be a noun. 3. The red cards can either be related funn…

Topic: If the world DOES end tomorrow, and you are capable of regretting or remembering anything afterwards, what would they be? Rules: List the three most important regrets you would have, or the three things you would miss most. NOTE: I assume missing AMoL is "Ichiban Number-One!!" for everyone here, and the BT itself is a close second. So don't list them. Here are my three regrets: 1) The only person from my real family that I care anything about is my sister. 2) I haven't found my unicorn (that mythical creature also known as a single, geeky woman). *sighs* All the unicorns are gone. 3) Two people I used to care about consider me the villian of …

I'm bored

Wooo hoooo!

I'm going to be stuck at home until the end of February estudying for my exams. I need some distractions for the end of the day and reading is not always an option, because I spend the whole day immersed in my Law books and I can't continue reading. I've played (without finishing them - got stuck) Mass effect and Baldur's Gate; I like that type of pc game. I would like you to give me some pc games suggestions. Pc games suggested: Sims American McGee's Alice Torchlight Assassin's Creed Diablo League of Legends Amnesia Slender Battle for Wesnoth Company of Heroes World of Warcraft Eve Online Portal 2 Braid The Company of Myself Planetscape: Torment Baldur's Gate…

So, last year I made some Christmas and Festive siggys for various people. I would be open to making some more for people if they would like. Here are the ones I made last year. Everyone can use this one if like: I also made these for other people, so you can't use them. They might give you ideas though: And this year I have made myself this one, which links to the youtube clip of my favourite Christmas song if you click on it. If anyone would like a festive siggy making, just post your idea, image or youtube clip in here, along with with a rough description, and I will try and make one for you. The BT has got a lot of very talented sig…

*kisses Turin* Christmas is a most excellent time of year
