[Elephant Parade]

I just found out that the average WPM reading speed is 200. Woah. No wonder it takes most people so long to finish books. I thought that it was much higher than that.

[Criptfeind]

Something, distasteful. But what? All I can think of now are Joe McCarthyisms and the Salem Witch Trials.

That sorta of thing is par the course for mafia no?

Edit: Also I think I misread your post. Mistaking the meaning of everyone having roles to include the generic no power roles. Which on a rereading I am guessing you meant roles with powers. In which case I apologize and the first half of my post is basically meaningless.

She could just be disgusted with how ineffective and stupid the "proving" is.

[Tiruin]

You guys don't know.
Except for GlyphGryph. Because Griffons are always right.

[Scelly9]

Yeah, that's probably why they're asking.

Glanced through my forum profile and discovered an RTD which I have no memory of starting... and never updated, unsurprisingly.
Kinda disappointing 'cause it seemed like a mildly interesting idea, even if I have no idea WTF I was rambling on about.

I'm just an emotional floppy fish. >_<
Watch me flop and tumble and floppity flop.

And let's return to the normal WTFs you all had today...

Why does so much music have choir sections with no lyrics? I want more Latin chants, darn it! Also the awesome factor would go up by a huge amount.

There there, that's why we stick to beer, don't we?

[Yoink]

Heh, I don't think I even had that excuse.
I did realise just now that the reason for some of the weirdness was me using Chaotic Shiny's generators for the plot etc.... still not sure how I ever considered that a good idea.

At first I was like, "That doesn't seem so bad."

And then I actually checked the numbers and noticed that's over 8 hours to read 100k words. Those poor, poor souls

E:Thanks to the magic of XKCD, I have today learned that, apparently, the first human name we're aware of could be (probably mis)pronounced as "Eerie Whore".

[Criptfeind]

Those poor, poor souls

I wonder, if you read four times slower, do you get four times the enjoyment? Or do you get less enjoyment per hour for a total of the same or less enjoyment?

[Descan]

Frumple, wat?

I read pretty fast. I've had a friend who was watching me read be weirded out by how fast I was turning pages. In practice, it means I need to buy way more books/bring more books on trips/etc so it's a mixed blessing I guess.

The fact that it still took me four weeks to finish reading Worm kinda scares me when I start recommending it to friends though.

Worm was updated bi-weekly for over two years. That's bound to be some amount of reading material.

(BTW, the author is writing another serial, it's great as well).
