They exist in the system, but they're from an earlier board, and when the data was copied over, though the user profiles were ported, and the posts were ported, the info to connect the two was not.

But yes, it's old.

You know, I went back there and just read some of the older posts, and it was a really strange feeling. It was like going back in time as if I was there with them all. I know I can't interact with them from back then, but still...

I know it sounds corny, but the written (typed) word is a great thing.

2736: Your flatmate gets a Facebook invitation to try the Blackjack application, and when he mentions it, you go: "A Blackjack app! How cool is that! ...no, wait..."

#2737 (TDS/Ed only): If you happen to look down a street lined with lights, you keep telling yourself: "This scene must be jerky, I can almost see the surges."

Reciting Hammer text in church.:cheeky: I would love to see someone do that! That would be hilarious!

"If thou hast the eyes to see the glory of the Master Builder, but do not, then pluck them out!"

"Vigilance is our shield, which protects us from the squalid paths. Knowledge is our weapon, to which we carve a path to an enlightned future."

Those Hammerites remind me of those Catholic people chanting in church.

2739: When you make an iron-on t-shirt with thief related material:cheeky: (hopefully no one has ever posted this.)

Hey there, thought i'd contribute. Don't think I've ever posted on here. I think the thread should be renamed to just "clues that you have been playing thief way too much ..." or maybe "clues that thief has influenced your life" (the only reason give this suggestion is because you may have a time period where you don't play thief itself for a long time, but you never forget it.)

#2740 (woot! a 1408 number! it adds up to 13!)

You're standing in the (empty) hall of a hospital ward preparing for your next round past the rooms. The lights are semi off, as to indicate patients having the possibility of resting a bit (untill you wake them up again :ebil:).
Then a door behind you creaks open, and at the same time the lights above you start to flicker!
Frozen to the ground not knowing whether to reach out for your holy water or dagger to defend yourself with or run like mad you turn to the source...

The patient, coming from the toilet scuttles past you with a weak smile, slightly taken aback by the nervous twitching of your eyes. She doesn’t know that the sounds and shadows of the Shalebridge Cradle bounce back and forth in your head. You watch her disappear in one of the rooms, blood drained from your face.

((It happened to me yesterday.... I swear. Flickering lights wouldn’t have that much impact on me hadn’t it been for that one Cradle patient’s survival of my entire inventory of ballistics. Now I fear the lights for what they bring with them.... :weird: ))

Well you know sNeaksieGarrett, it's seriously worrying what an effect this game has had. I hadn't posted before 'till I was just so struck by how involved I am in it that I should deliberately make a wrong answer to some stupid quiz game.

2741# There was another occasion I remember when I thought I'd become seriously deranged when I was in my local bank in Devon and the 'teller' (for you US folk) shrieked because she saw a spider. I tried very hard to mantle onto the counter and only later realised what I'd been doing. And that breath intake noise you make when you mantle. I had some extremely odd looks, I can tell you. I just wonder what the hell the security people might think when they reviewed the security tapes.

It's really quite frightening how these things seem to happen automatically without any awareness until afterwards. And, even worse, no-one else I know understands it at all!
