Hell if I know? You're not a bot.

[hector13]

I initially thought you were a bot.

If you are, you're a damn good one.

[Whisperling]

If bork was a bot, I think I'd have to suspect just about everyone else, too.

*Whisperling dusts off his old paranoia.

Personally, my theory is that Bork is an alt of Novel Scoops.

I'm onto you.

Personally, my theory is that Bork is an alt of Novel Scoops.

I'm onto you.

What?

In all seriousness, it's a joke. You have a somewhat mechanical way of phrasing your posts (not necessarily bad, mind) and haven't had an avatar most of the time you've been here, both of which are behaviors associated with spambots.

Of course, you lack the primary telltale characteristics of a spambot (shilling shoes/kitchens/viruses/porn, making a ton of threads to shill with, making bizarre non-sequiter posts in random threads, etc.)

There was a sentient spambot in Necrothreat.

Maybe Bork is its child? 0_o

Binge-playing Star Ruler a bit. In the ship designer, every single ship I made, I've been putting the engines on the right side of the module screen, and all the armor and such on the left. This morning I noticed the right side of the screen is explicitly the front of the vessel. I've been putting the engines on the front and armoring the rear. They've been charging into battle flying backwards.


I also vastly underestimated the effort needed to build a ringworld. I've got hundreds of scale 100 cargo ships(most have around 140k cargo space, it varies due to tech upgrades between ship construction), and I've been going for at least 2 hours total playtime, and it's only 1% built - and the construction time for ringworlds is purely resources, not labor. On the other hand, pushing research to unlock the ringworld generator also allowing my economic and military might explode when it finished the last Megascale Construction tech and I turned on research automation.

Star Ruler's really fun but I find after you reach a certain tech level it almost feels pointless.

But then I usually play with clusters at ridiculously far distances, so may be I'm doing it wrong.

The second-youngest kid woke me up this morning saying "The wall was covered in blood near [Toddler].  But I cleaned most of it up!"
wuh
uh
This is probably just another stupid "Prank" (IE, the wall is actually fine and he "got me") but obviously I check
Turns out toddler had a nosebleed and rubbed it all over an impressively large area of the wall, including large bits of bloody booger which have gotten stuck.
Toddler himself is annoyed that we're waking him up for no raison.  Smiles, face covered in crusty blood.

I don't have any special problem with blood but I did feel a little sick while cleaning it up.  Especially the boogers.  Second-youngest keeps bragging about how he already cleaned it up, toddler keeps telling us his dream about a frog (there was a frog).

WTF:  Urge to start a family:  Increasing???  (but 1-2 kids, not 4, why 4)

Heh, in-ur-end-o

This.  Your posts are very concise, which is actually nice.  It just looked a little like a "fake" account, at first.

[Frumple]

Just saw what is apparently home depot's new logo. It was two wtfs in a row, because I first read it as "new generation of dong", and then realized that "new generation of doing" isn't much of an improvement.

They say they're a new generation, and then make their slogan effectively blatant innuendo. I can't tell if they're out of touch or too in touch for their own good.

[heydude6]

Too late not really...

When I first read this, I thought it was one of those fake satire articles like those from the onion. The simple fact that this is real makes me WTF. The whole bottled water being just filtered tap water issue is a horse that's been dead for a few decades now, I don't see what was the point of reporting on it in 2012 of all years (Yes I know the article was written because 2 new brands of bottled water appeared!).

It was kind of depressing reading that article. It reminded me of the time when I first heard about this whole bottled water scam. I was young and I was outraged! Now when I look back on it, I see bottled water as fight between the corporations and citizens, and the corporations definitively and with no comebacks winning. Bottled water is going to last forever, nothing will ever change that.

Exactly. It doesn't exactly take much to show a bot for what it is. Too many times do bots enter a forum and are immediately identifiable because of the advertising, sometimes targeted at the unique source of the forum but usually linking incredibly disparate things like shoes, natural male enhancement or swimwear a characteristic lack of punctuation paragraphs or spacing also is a remarkable identifier expect them to ramble constanly with more spelling whist name dropping things like spandex Rolex or Fabreeze normally I'd be able to pan this out for a fair while but I.'me doing it on my phone and the autocorrect feature is giving me issues various smartphones include Apple Samsung or Motorolla however beware bold text for whatever reason because those last few links aren't real and I don't want anyone getting a virus which a real spambot wouldn't care about and that's how you can tell a spambot in today's forum also the escaped lunatic tag is a good sign looking for pimple cream to impress the girl or not you seem to break ore in gigantic flu twelve not linking anymore that's a spambot

Wow, you really do a good spam bot impression!
