For shame, for shame! It's been almost 3 days and nobody has initiated Adastreia into our official BT welcoming tradition... the half-mad (but tainted and joyous) welcome thread! YOU FOUND US (and here we thought we were well hidden on The Farm ) AND NOW WE WELCOME YOU! And of course, we welcome you with brownies first and foremost... (Don't mind the chunks. It's pure, concentrated tainted saidin of course... They're just there to get you used to the crazy.) Now please, tell us about you. *pulls out the stalker notepad* When did you find the Wheel of Time? How did you hear about Dragonmount…

LOOK ALIVE, FOLKS! There's a new guy standing at the Farmhouse wanting to join. Someone grab the Dragon ( @Panchi!) and get the official paperwork started or something! While we're waiting... we have this thing we like to do for new members. BROWNIES! (Don't mind the taintedness, it just makes it easier to listen to the voices in your head. *nods sagely*) So gather round, and tell us about YOU! I am psychotic - i mean psychic - i mean, the moderator of the new members forum so I already know your name is Dan... Who is the awesomest Asha'man in your humble opinion? What do you wish you could…

So I know there have been threads about songs actually ABOUT WoT but wanted to do one about songs that aren't actually, but make you think of it. Mine is: This song makes me think of the True Source and especially of Rand once he cleanses the Source. The idea of Eternal Fire and it being so 'pure and strong' plus the line in the chorus about 'rebirth and triumph.' Every time I hear this song (which is a lot because I recently discovered this album and absolutely love it) it makes me want to stop what I'm doing and continue my reread (which I usually can't do because I listen to music a lot while working lol). …

So it's April already! Spring is here, regardless of when you believe it started, and just like the world around us, the Black Tower is experiencing growth and revitalization with new members, classes, and epic One Power battles among members! What are some areas of personal growth that you are looking forward to this Spring? What are you spending your personal life points on this Spring? Myself, I bought an electric keyboard (a Yamaha P-115), and I'm trying to learn the piano. Also, here.

Astronomers say 21/3 or 22/3, meteorologists say 1/3. Considering astronomical events only indirectly deal with weather, while meteorological events quite literally are weather, I would say it's best to follow the meteorologists in this. Also early december is colder than early march.

And again! A day late, but hey... if the roll call ain't up yet, that just means I'm the BEST STAFF MEMBER. You love me. You know you do. NEW ARRIVALS No brave souls faced the insanity in March - alas! PROMOTIONS Staff is still discussing the suggested change to promotion requirements. Stay tuned! ANNOUNCEMENTS The February Saidin Class has extended into March (and April). If @Nikon hasn't been eaten by eels, we look forward to completing the class and having a few newly informed Soldiers to boss around. EVENTS AND GAMES Darthe's About A Girl …

5 points for signing in, 5 points for answering the question. According to meteorologists, spring has started today (even though there's snow outside...). What's your favorite thing about spring? For me, it's the season that has the best weather, mostly in April and maybe May.

It's here! A few days late, due to my being out of town and whatnot, but... you, my darling denizens of the Black Tower, are not forgotten! NEW ARRIVALS We haz them! Three, count 'em, THREE new members joined our ranks in the month of February. The first to brave tainted saidin was failemandarb, who also braved potential criticism of her chosen screen name as one of the least liked characters in the series. Srsly. We were joined next by jbarlow1, who seems to have avoided the WoT character screen name dilemma entirely. And finally, the extremely tainted Terra jumped right in to the insanity. If you…

For February's roll call, we are all asked the question "Which game (board, computer, console, etc...) is your current favorite?" As always you'll earn 5 points for signing in and 5 more for answering the question. For myself, I'd have to say my newest game, Dragonball Fighter Z, would be my current favorite... Pokemon Go would probably be a close second though.

I have never been interested in super heroes. I watched Batman as a kid (the tv series) and read The Phantom for a year or two. When I got older I felt forced to watched some films like Batman and Spider Man but it wasn´t my thing. Then I watched Avengers and it was okay. I liked Iron Man and the Hulk. So I watched all the Iron Man films and even though I didn´t love them I really enjoy watching Robert Downey Jr. (who doesn´t!). Yesterday I watched Avengers: Age of Ultron and I realise that even though I still don´t love super hero films I don´t like not knowing what is happening. I watched a review on YouTube and I definitely didn´t understand a thing. So can you please …

Only two days to go! Yay! This year the 23rd Winter Olympics is taking place in Pyeongchang in South Korea. The time zone is GMT +9. That means that I will have to wake up really early even on weekends if I want to see my favourite sports. :( 93 countries will contribute to 17 days of fun and sportsmanship. (Well, at least we can hope so. There are unfortunately always some cases of doping each time.) The contestants will compete in 15 disciplines: alpine, cross-country skiing, freestyle, Nordic combined, ski jumping, snowboarding, bobsleigh, skeleton, biathlon, curling, hockey and luge. I guess there are mostly three thi…

*stage whispers* Hey guys! We got a new one! Look alive! Greetings! (Gee, a familiar face ) I guess I get to be the welcome committee today! If the voices in your head have led you here, you're definitely destined to be one of us... If you haven't heard the voices yet, well...have a few of these, they should help Don't mind the red parts, they have extra-concentrated taintiness, it helps you hear the voices. *nods sagely* So tell us about yourself! Shall we call you Faile? (Nobody will remember your real name so you might as well pick a good nickname based on your screen name ) What part of the world d…

Since new post notifications don't show private board stuff at the moment... Posting this here for anyone who isn't manually checking the boards. Are you a civilian, new to the Black Tower or one who has yet to learn the ways of the Taint? Are you one of the members from years past but who has gotten rusty in the ways of the Taint? Have the voices left you alone for the past few months and you're looking for something to spend the time doing? If you answered yes to any of these then the Saidin Class may be the thing for you! Come learn the ways of the Taint, how to earn points, channel Saidin, SPAM, join the Light or the Shado…

What? Another month has passed? How does this keep happening? Well, I suppose you'll be wanting your news now. You people are positively insatiable! NEW ARRIVALS While Dragonmount.com came back to life officially in January, none of the new members to the site have been lured by the call of Saidin just yet. Perhaps some of you extroverts may be tasked with recruiting in the near future. PROMOTIONS Not yet! Our staff is working hard (or hardly working as the case may be) behind the scenes to update the points page post-update-breaking-stuff and determine who is actually eligible. Keep an eye on the Farmhous…

It's too grey and gloomy. I think I'd like a garden. Points will be given to my favourite offerings. All flowers, furniture and decorations must be blue. Also if you're being really helpful, flowers will also be comfortable in a not very warm northern climate lol As I really would like a garden.

Unofficially, of course. Felt like it should be here now that the site is up and running again. Question: What do you think of the new site? I don't have the authority to assign points, but as you all know it's typically 5 for signing in and 5 for answering. As for my answer, it's ok. Annoyed at the offline, but not. Unsure if I didn't have permission to get on or not. The look is...acceptable.

Of course you want! Here is a nice scene which I call "Lightie comes to the Dark side". If you want to call it "Shadowies are you overlords" it´s fine with me. (I can´t find the Ba´alzamon smiley! Where is it?) Anyway... As you see it´s made of parts of different lyrics. Find out what songs I have used. This is the BT so I don´t care if you "cheat" and use Google or call your grandmother (which might be needed) or whatever. Guess one lyric then let someone else post, and then you can guess again. You get more points if you guess the song that I had intended but also get points if you find another song with the same lyric. (S = shadowie, L = lightie…

It's still a few minutes left in my timezone but in some parts of the world, it's already November. So, here is the Roll Call. Question: What silly superpower (that only affects you) would you want to have? 5 points for signing in, 5 for answering.

Stealing another roll call from Panchi. The Asha´man in WoT started to build a new black tower. Have you ever built anything? 5 points for signing in and 5 points for telling us about your constructions. I´ve built a lot with lego. I´m not that handy but I have helped others to build garages or small houses. My contributions were mostly holding things or painting.

Welcome back to the new Dragonmount, Tower denizens! 2017 has ended, so let's take a look back at what you may have missed in the Black Tower during the past few months. NEW ARRIVALS Mere moments before Dragonmount was taken down for upgrades in November, Illian Tear bravely volunteered to join the ranks of Saidin channelers. The welcome brownies may have grown stale during the weeks of Dragonmount being down, so make sure to stop in and say hello with a fresh plate of tainted deliciousness. PROMOTIONS Alas, we have nothing to report. Don't forget to check the offsite information page and your current points to see how close you are to achieving a pr…
