Nonsense - Do NOT read!

Lewis Carroll - The Walrus and the Carpenter

The Walrus and the Carpenter
Were walking close at hand;
They wept like anything to see
Such quantities of sand:
‘If this were only cleared away,’
They said, ‘it would be grand!’

‘If seven maids with seven mops
Swept it for half a year,
Do you suppose,’ the Walrus said,
‘That they could get it clear?’
‘I doubt it,’ said the Carpenter,
And shed a bitter tear …

This sounds much too good and thus does not serve the purpose of this thread well.

Fotografiet föreställer en ost och skink-fralla vars form till hälften blivit avbiten där en otänd cigarett blivit instoppad. Bilden, vars syfte är okänt, var del av ett konstprojekt utfört av elever på Anderstorpsgymnasiet i Skellefteå år 2018. By Latinöverwhatever

Sure thing, there is a character who has been passing death certificates to SSI inspired gaming community forums since he arrived at JP's forum back at the age of Image

Curious, how a job that, by definition should be short by disappearance of the object, turned into a long career...

It is guaranteed that nothing is eternal.
Even the obsessive desire to see others go will perish with the author of said desire.

From the PGX JP's archives:
Mr. "Spengler" wrote at the PGX topic back at JPs:
"Well, I'm pretty confident in predicting that if Luis Guzman were to ever pull a "disappearing act" such as the ones pulled by the programmers mentioned above, the "public" face of the OG "hobby" would quickly come to a screeching nothingness."

Quite interesting to see the word "predicting" here...
Because I actually "predicted" that a figure like "PBEMmaniac / Spengler" would appear at JP's.
I predicted it since "DKS" posted at JP's that someone had gone to the Panzer Corps forum posting that Panzer Corps was useless because Open General served all SSI inspired gamer's needs...
I only had to wait about a month for Mr. "PBEMmaniac" to show up after that "DKS" post... and watch as other things that I predicted did unfold in the next years...

So, what's the conclusion here?

1) Predictions make actual events happen?

2) JP's closed its virtual doors because of a single, solitary individual's "dislike" of the venue?

Now, as far as OG is concerned:

a) I do believe it's ideal for SSI-style modding and playing. :2cents

b) And yeah, if Luis Guzman were to "effectively disappear", THIS collection of forums would go dark; for good! :2cents A conditional prediction... :)

Sometimes people just decide to dedicate an enormous amount of time and effort to destructive / vengeful causes, usually for no valid reason at all, but let's get back on the original spirit of this thread:
