The Black Tower

I am the king of the Tainted Hill. Find a way to claim the hill.

Seriously man. I'm so sick of LA getting EVERY high-profile free agent that comes along! Can't Stern veto this one as well?!

ANYWAYS while you're waiting for the Staff to add you to our private boards relax and eat some tainted Brownies!!!!!!!! And if you need anything else let us know and you wish is our command! Also tell us a bit about yourself, your favorite Asha'man and favorite overall character in WoT (Egwene)!!!!!!!!! BUT WELCOME

...since Matty just made us all nostalgic and glowy with Calvin&Hobbes, I just got hit by the memory of a book series my brothers and I used to PORE OVER all day. I think the books are packed away in the container now but I am so finding them when I get back home!!! Petterson & Findus!!! Please tell me you two know this...at least heard of it, Pettson och Findus by the almighty Sven Nordqvist...ring a bell??? :D SO MUCH AWESOMENESS!!!

EMBRACE THE BAGUETTE! MWAHAHA

Feeling particularly antisocial today. Everyone's being a pain at work, and no threads are calling out to me. Who can fix me?

1. Microsoft hotmail being a pain in the butt if you forget your password and security answer 2. FB derping and posting what you just posted several times 3. People spelling things incorrectly 4. Text language (ex. l8r, h8, etc.) Carry on, let's see how many we can get^_^

I got this idea from Ithi's coursouv'ra thing or however you spell it, this is completely optional though, so if you don't like either of the choices, you have the option of not posting. I want some reward for doing whatever it was, but I can't, so i will just have to settle with you want to participate so you shall. :) I will keep track of who got the most after each month and will post that, they will get brownie points and if anyone wants to give them real points, feel free. Anyways, let me start this off, and a final note, please be honest in truth, we can't tell, but it is much more fun that way. Truth: How many people have you actually liked in your life, thi…

If you could meet anyone in the WHOLE WORLD, who would it be and why??? (Dead or Alive, Fact or Fiction anyone is fair game) I'd have to say ... Im not sure I'll get back to you...

This is yet another spam thread where you can post anything that's making you unhappy or depressed at the moment...

Welcome to the land of taint and madness, Jani! Have some tainted brownies, tell us your favorite non-WoT book series, and ignore the voices in your head!

Have lots of them!!!!!

I have been thinking about Cosplay for Dragon Con and was thinking that with the Last Wheel of Time Book coming up that it would be fun to do something from that world. At first I was thinking Perin Aybara, because I don't want to shave off my beard. But I have not been to the gym in a long time and don't have the time to start going again to build myself up to that level. Mat Cauthon is my favorate character besides all the girls but there seems to be alot of Mats out there in the cosplay picsI have found. I figured that a simple nameless Asha'man would be the simplest thing to do. Asha'man Costume: Black shirt Black pants Black high boots Black sword bl…

I have some questions for all of you. I'm doing a survey and I wanted to get a variety of answers. 1. What do you like? 2. What do you dislike? 3. Who is your favorite character in the WoT? 4. What is your favorite weave in the WoT? 5. What is your favorite scene in the WoT? Thanks for participating, i really need this.

So, once more you have found yourself in that puzzling situation. You have to make a choice but find one thought tumbling around in your brain. Is it, or is it not, a trap? You can't shake it.

For DUMMIES will answer all of your TRAP related needs! So sit back and enjoy IT'S A TRAP! For DUMMIES in all of its wonder and, please, feel free to contribute in any way that you so choose. 1. You see Admiral AckBar. This is fairly obvious. Don't consider it, don't fret. It is most likely a trap…

Here are the Hot Thread Points for the month of July - needless to say, it was a BUSY month! Names are listed in alphabetical order. The person who earned the most hot thread points for July was Niel with 45 points. Congratulations, Niel - 10 points extra are yours as reward! If you notice that a thread you stared was not counted on the list, contact me to point it out. Just to remind you or inform you of the criteria, the threads that were counted were not official threads created by staff (i.e. roll call, announcements) or game threads (mafia, wotopoly, etc.). You will gain 5 points for reaching 50 posts, 10 posts for reaching 100, and 15 for 150 posts. …

Basically just list all the complaints or little things that bug you that you know are completely stupid/pointless to complain about. For example: Waaaahhh I had to train a new night audit so I didn't get much down time at work tonight!!!!!

Beginning August 6, the Light Faction will be hosting the Black Tower's Summer Olympic Games within the Arena! All factions are invited to participate - Light, Shadow, and Civilians - to compete for medals - and points! - for the fame and glory of their faction! Games shall include such things as Olympic hangman, a three part Trivial Triathalon, a Guess the Pictures Relay, and a couple contests (a siggy contest and a SPAMATHON) that will be judged by a distinguished Judging Panel in order to decide the winners. All of these events will offer points that will go towards a Faction total which will be averaged to decide the Faction who overall won the Olympics at the cl…

Oho! A new recruit trying to slip into the mayhem without being noticed. You, sir, have been noticed. *hands El Barto a plate of tainted brownies* (That could be fudge... or extra Taint) Have a few of these, and make yourself at home! Tell us about yourself, why don'tcha? Who's your favorite Asha'man? What does your name mean? And what are the voices in your head telling you right now? I'm Tress, one of the Storm Leaders of the Light Faction. Our Lady Dragon should be along shortly to get you officially added to the rolls and get you access to our private boards. In the meantime, feel free to jump into any of the insanity currently going on…

Hey everyone, join me in welcoming another new recruit to the Tower! Wheeloftime, what can you tell us about yourself? What brings you to our neck of the woods?

What? I'm hungry. And I may give out points to the tastiest dish on the table.

An old game I used to make on other forums was to make fun of other threads. Usually it goes like this... Link some other thread, and parody it. For example, I just saw the "too many 150 threads" and decided that I should make a 151 thread. Or, a "Don't Spam Here" thread for any thread in the black tower. Okay, those are not really funny examples. Alright, someone with a better sense of humor... GO!

What is your favourite your food which you can't live without? Is there any food you hate? I love something that is spicy or a little sour. And especially Indian street food. I hate non- veg like eggs, meat, bacon.

And so it begins ... WoTOPOLY at the Black Tower. Do you think Rand, the AS, the BT and all the rest of the gang are doing a good job of running Randland? Do you think you can do better? The Black Tower now offers you the chance to take over and, using your knowledge of the Wheel of Time books, financial acumen and ability to spot people landing on YOUR PROPERTY, to do just that. Based on the ever popular Monopoly game, WoTopoly will allow you to buy land and utilities, build property, spend and earn money and even take a Chance with the M'Hael or the Lady Dragon's wishes and whims. But beware of the Whitecloaks and their fortress, unless you manage to find an 'Escape…

So, for those of you who live in the Northern Hemisphere, we are well into the summer. Some of you may have had eventful summers already, no doubt. Others (like me) will have last minute shotgun plans to whittle away the last days of recreation before the spectre of work rears it's ugly head once more. So what are your remaining summer plans? I've just booked a week away in Sweden. Roll over the IKEA furniture, I'm pining for the fjords What about you?

Coming to the Black Tower! A monthly lottery game, modded by Matrim, that requires wit and knowledge of the WoT! Check out the Arena this weekend to make your fortune! Points to be won!!!

I haven't seen a thread for this, so I thought I might bring it up. I saw it awhile ago, but wanted to talk about it, how did you guys think it was, please use spoilers.

Do I have to say more? Niel is claiming membership of the Sith Family - who are very much Shadow!
