I've always been surprised by the sheer magnitude of llama spam out there so what follows will be a showcase of that (ie. whatever I can find on the internet to do with llamas)

I'm planning something, and I'd like your help. So, let's say the Black Tower has a Varsity Sports team. What do you think they'd call themselves and use for a mascot? (careful, this'll probably end up in the Humor Blog at several points in the future) So Far: Suggestions for Team Name Asha'men Barfers Savages Weapons Lord of Chaos Taint or Taintys Dedicated Shocklances Herons Suggestions for mascot Dragon Panda/Arez Llamacorn Herons

Pumpkins are my favorite, yeah! Coolest pumpkin ever? Can you dig it? Can you beat it? I have yet to find a picture of a llama wearing a sombrero in a pumpkin carving, but I think that's the only one that would beat Jack Skelington here. - Jonas w/

http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread798704/pg1 Okay, so who is responsible for these little shenanigans? These have not been approved by the M'Hael, at least I have not heard of them, and as such those responsible must be held accountable! Also, who let Matty tag along, HMMMMMMMMMM?! *glances at Nya*

But in the meantime, sit back, relax and enjoy the tainted brownies! I am a Storm Leader here, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I don't bite - I usually break bones. Hehe, kidding (or am I?) . So who is your favourite Asha'man of the books?

So, here is a topic I'm really passionate about! Can you get addicted to video games? My personal view here; yes! Why? Well, some video games can be exciting to the point where you're so engaged that your body starts to release endorphins and thus you become addicted. Well...that's how I would answer if I wanted to sound scientific. Personally, I say you can become addicted to video games because I was but I was addicted in a particular way. I used video games for escapism into a "better" world. Does Playing Violent Video Games Lead To Actual Violence? This one is tricky as it would all depend on the individual involved. Anyway, enough of me! …

For those of you bloody fools who list this flaming site full of flaming hilariously bloody jokes here you go. Go flame yourself. New Spring Aiel: There he is! From half a mile away! Aan'allein!

Signup Post: Smash Bros. Mafia by popular demand! This is an advanced game and will be co-modded with Ithi. Expect suprises and good times.

Role Playing Games, used to be simply, turn based games, very much like Dungeons & Dragons. Today, RPG's have transcended those old systems, and have almost litterally, become a key gameplay feature, of most video games out there. Remember those hack and slash games, where every so often, you get a point to invest into a new ability? How about those shooter games, where once you collect enough points, Badges, or even skulls, you get access to new weapons? Weapon mods? better ammo? Or even special abilities associated with weapons? Or even, how about Golf and Racing games, where after you win enough, and get enough cash you can buy a better set of golf clubs? A n…

I am currently seeing an ad in another tab which says that I am the 999,999th visitor from my city and get to test an iPhone 4s. Quite silly I think. But what would it hide, Spyware? I can't just click on it and at the same time make a project on "Cyber Crime and its Prevention" What do you think of such things?

It's so hot outside! What to do inside? Spam methinks. :) Tarmon Spamdom. *nodnods*

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 from the Fortress of Light for Free' card. Do y…

So we all know that no one cares about the civies. They are only possible shadowies and lighties that both factions want to put their claws into. But it shall be known that I care about you and I want you all to get a lot of points. Just kidding... I´m bored (and maybe a bit grumpy due to sugar withdrawal) and I happen to have a box of points right beside me. Points in all forms and colours because I stole them from Nya. Post something that will make me laugh. I will choose three that gets points. And no Arez - this is only for civies. Read the title. Go!

I didn't find this anywhere on this site and I always wanted to see this. GO!
