The Black Tower

I'll try to add at least a stanza a day myself, but feel free to continue the tale. Make sure to post at least two lines, that rhyme and preferably stick to a similar setup of lines. I think we can end up with something cool, so add in anything you guys think of :) Once upon a fateful day, A day succumbed to night, Thoughts of mindful sought to weigh, The terrible, wonderful sight, A dragon rose on blazing wings, And into the sky, took flight, To bind and to destroy all things, The Creator's champion of light,

On my way to the shower this morning I suddenly thought of this topic and even started putting a list together in my head. Now as Tress will tell you Im an oldtimer around these parts i joined in 04. the list so far 1 You think anyone who does not remember DM version 6 is a newbie 2 You have had your post count wiped at least once 3 You get picked on by certain lighties in the Newbies board for calling them Social ORGS (and yes they are ORGS!!) 4 You cant remember what your first sig looked like 5 you remember people from a while back who have left in a fond "old person remembering their youth" kind of way 6 you remember Orgs that peo…

I have been without a new book to read for a while. I have read: (among others) A Song of Ice and Fire The Wheel of Time (obviously) Ender's Game Lord of the Rings Percy Jackson (and all related books by the author) Eragon The Black Tower Series Most of the Patriot Games series Some of the Net Force books Duma Key Dune

It's Tarmon Gai'don; there's no need to be afraid At Tarmon Gai'don, we let in the shadow and we banish light And in our world of plenty we can spread fear and disension Throw your arms around the trollocs at Tarmon Gai'don But say a prayer to pray for the other ones At Tarmon Gai'don It's hard, but when you're having fun There's a world outside your window And it's a world of dread and fear Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears And the Warning bells that ring there Are the clanging chimes of doom Well tonight thank The Great Lord it's them instead of you And there won't be snow in Shara this time The greatest gift they'll get this year is death Oh…

I just had to post this...

I love GIFs! (gardgardgardgard) And this one is for Nya:

*TheMasterDude appears in a cloud of smoke* "Wait who is that next to him?" asks someone from the crowd of gatherers. He hardly ever leaves his lair but it seems that he brought someone with him, and a girl even! The crowd gathered as he was about to speak. "Today! Someone by the name of Kari al'Thor wishes to be the darkest of the dark, the blackest of the black (besides myself of course) and has come to being showing all of you pitiful lightfools her prowess!"

Welcome one and all to this years theme week OP tournament. Here is were you signup to blow up your friends with the One Power. BT member or not all are welcome here. If you are not a member then there are several crazy asha'man that will show you how the system works. I only ask that you learn via PM so As to not clutter the main board. The spam must flow.

The possibilities are endless. All you need do now is say you wish to partake and if you wish to have a Light or Shadowy character. …

Hehe... I thought this was funny because of the font things...

Arez needs to hear how much we appreciate him. I appreciate him so much that I have prepared everything for an unforgettable date. You will meet your date outside a medieval restaurant. The woman is beautiful. She is slender, has dark hair and dark eyes. She looks a little nervous. You will eat an amazing dinner while talking and getting to know each other. She has brought you a gift but asks you not to open it until later. You feel a little stupid that you haven´t brought her anything. You look at her strange necklace and thinks that she is probably pretty rich. She probably has everything she needs already. She tells you that she ha…

"Batten down the hatches! Saddle the Reindeer! Bake the cookies and for all that is merry someone find Mrs Claus! " Soon after this outburst Santa appeared on the North Pole Intercom system. "All elves report to the factory! It's that time of the year again. Anyone not in the factory by the time I round up the stragglers losses all Hot Cocoa breaks until the end of the year." Soon after this announcement Santa was seen running out to the "threads" or buildings outside intercom range to tell them to get to the factory. ((DM ate my posts... :(. I'll be back later to finish this up. Until then report in elves!))

So, it's time for another Black Tower Dance, and this time it's Holiday themed. So pick your favorite Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, etcetera themed song and suggest it to me in this thread! The dance will probably start in a week or two once my winter break from school begins.

Okay, I'm pretty sure that most everyone has read, watched, or both read and watched the Lord of the Rings before. If you haven't... now would be a good time. I'll admit that the books weren't the best, but that's just my personal opinion. The movies however.... I'm really excited for The Hobbit movie that's coming out in December in the US. Can you guys wait to see it? I was thinking we could have a discussion about Lord of the Rings, so whoever wants to start is welcome...

Sorry about the delay here folks... Busy weekend, filled with computer problems, internet being down, and when my internet was working DM was down... Reminder - effective this month, "spam your own" threads in The Village will no longer be counted for Hot Thread points. Faction tasks to create solo spam threads will be awarded task points only. Other threads in The Village aside from official staff announcements and 100 Questions threads are still eligible for Hot Thread points. It's been a pretty darn quiet month in the BT for spam - there were quite a few threads, but not that many that were particularly hot. Threads counted include everything in the main board and…

(to the tune of 'Walking in a Winter Wonderland') I see Fades, when there are none I'm going mad, and it's so fun The brownies I ate, sure do taste great, Walkin in a tainted wonderland. There are pins on my collar, I'm such a Caemlyn Baller, Taim sure looks mad, because here comes Rand, Walkin in a tainted wonderland. The True Source might have corrupted my thinking, but it never ever gets me down. Just like when Nynaeve's boat was sinking, and Lan showed up before she drowned. Later on, we'll build a fire then go call Dashiva a liar, Our tower is Black, some say that we've cracked, Walking in a tainted wonderland.

I can't seem to enjoy ANYTHING. Whatever I watch. SOMETHING always ruins it. I'm in TEARS for Light's sake. Competent villain. I just want a competent villain.

I'll start you guys off. Mat: Are you the daughter of the nine moons? Domini: Just act natural! Rand: Want to see my sword that is not a sword? Perrin: Say if I don't actually have a POV in AMoL, and we get together at the forge.
