I'm not sure when I'll be able to do this. I've had this habit of getting drowsy when I get home and waking up at 7am.
Which by the way is entirely this game's fault to start with. I'll see how I feel when I get home!

hey grammar nazi is anything in the above invalid?

Writing is an art not a science. Except where it's a science.

edit: killing it with these useful posts today :'(
I like your posts. <3

Okay. I looked back at the Civilization challenge. It looks like all the drop outs were caused by spelling mistakes. I am no longer quite as nervous? Most of my spelling mistakes are 100% intentional or caused by me mashing my hands on the keyboard. I'll just steer away from talking about viking hats.

I used to feel weird typing anything resembling internet speech. I was taught growing up to enunciate properly. The lack of control people seemed to have over their own words made them look like children to me. I didn't want to be thought of as a child!

Don't mind me. I'm just practicing typing like I'm being graded by an angry English teacher. Should English be capitalized when talked about in this context? I believe it should be when talking about it as a language.

I'm looking up rules of English now. The answer is yes. Also, I hate you.

I haven't thought about the rules of grammar for at least 15 years. You are the devil incarnate.

Have you done zero formal writing for over a decade?

I've made resumes? I don't think that compares to writing an essay piece by piece. The closest I've done to that is writing backgrounds for role-playing characters. This might be shocking but in the wild world of tech support, the ability to write creatively doesn't come up.

My biggest problem is going to be my inclination to write factually. I run out of things to say quickly. I'm just not that imaginative anymore. I don't know if I ever was in the first place.

What worries me most is this seems like the kind of challenge Kirby would excel at. I already know Kirby is good at word puzzles. Anyone that managed to find the Maxim Tomato must be decent at writing. Kirby is the one person I have to pray messes this challenge up immediately.

The drowsiness is setting in. If no one is available at 7 in the morning, I could easily do this Sunday afternoon. That isn't a set time, it's simply my estimation of when I'll wake up. If there is someone available I will attempt it then.

As I said it likely won't be exactly 7am so don't be surprised if I'm around closer to 8! I'll probably get up and have some coffee first. Then check on my Kingdom of Loathing turns. Finally I'll claw a nice white line of panic into my arms.

I think that would be best. I'm still confused how I became a morning person. It's uncomfortable to be awake while the sun is up. After this game I'm dedicating myself to sleeping through every stupid sunrise again.

While grammatically correct at a secondary school level, this is not appropriate typing contextually. :D

Yeah I would have much rathered Bingo! I’ve got to warn you I don’t think I’ll do well at all in the challenge. :( Hopefully you smash it

Thanks for the vote of confidence, dickhead. I am somehow awake. I'm going to get my coffee first. Then I'll set up a challenge thread when I'm ready. (is it okay to start a sentence with then?)

Why does this grammar guide use the book Lolita as an example? Could they not find a book less disgusting to take from? I don't need examples of how she will always be his Lolita to understand grammar. I merely wanted to know if a sentence can be started with the word then!

We started this report with a question: can you begin a sentence with a conjunction?
The answer is yes.
Should you begin a sentence or a paragraph with a conjunction?
That answer depends on your writing ability.

My writing ability is the ability of a writer who hates English. This sounds good enough for me! Crazy Hand's eyes are going to melt if he tries to read my sentences. He doesn't enjoy the liberties I take!

Give me about fifteen minutes. If you could answer the above question that would be swell. :)

If my questions seem sarcastic, I apologize. I truly need to know the answers. Crazy Hand reassured me that high-school level grammar was fine. I've been out of practice for years.

This is why no one likes this challenge, Haschel. :P No one likes being eliminated because of a space or an S!

My game is over. There's no way Kirby is going to fuck up worse then me and Ness is grammatically useless.

Okay okay like, Ness probably has Mario and Dedede's votes on lock, because, you iknow, they wouldn't vote you because you were the enemy and they would side with the guy who tried to work with them, and I also made the bad in their direction so they totally wouldn't vote for me either, and also Ike toooootally would vote you over me because I butchered him and I am a mean bad betray who no one could love

Now all I have to do is repeat this junk fifty thousand times until I can say it in a way any of it sounds belivable.
(tbh Kirby is probably going to slam jam that vote down, it's what I would do)

I've thought of an even better plan. I'm going to send kirby a really cute picture, and when she sees it it'll upload a virus to her computer that uncapitalizes all her sentences

hehe i wasn't sure! i looked at the times of the players who did this in Civ, and i'd beaten them. but i didn't know if you or ness would beat that. i'm a bad judge of those kinds of things.

ohhhh god i uh really was hoping i wouldn't win FIC to be perfectly honest. i felt obligated to try my hardest on principle but tbh i would have much rather not had to make the choice here.


You... would rather have been a juror?!?!

We even look over PMs and check the Active List at almost the same time.
I'm not entirely unconvinced that Kirby isn't me from the timeline where you actually gave me my choice.

I mean, we've had one since our original tribes? The Blues that survived all got close to Ness. I meant Mario was telling it to me in the context of wanting out because Ness was going to take his spot as the middleman they could turn to. Dedede lied to my face, Yoshi stopped telling me anything the minute the merge started yet Ness knew what he was doing at all times.. I feel you on Ike especially, but I don't think :captainfalcon: or :ike: will be bitter that Ness survived their attacks. It's a respect thing with enemies. My biggest worry this entire game has been that the pair of them won't forgive me for going from decently allied to them to backstabbing them mercilessly. I might even have that problem with Triple D's and Yoshi.


bleughghfdgufdhghhhkh oh sorry, I don't know how I swallowed all this bullshit
(although they are my real fears, this in no way means I think he should take me over fucking Ness rofl)
