Quiet, all of you!  I have the conch!

I think, uh, I think you're thinking about Ralph, uh, Jack.  Right?

Exams and the end of the semester has tip-toed up behind me, beat me savagely, stolen my time, and left me naked and cold in an alleyway.

2 more days... just 2 more days, and I can get back on this. If I can finish two papers in a reasonable amount of time tonight, I can finish editing sheets that were already sent out, and send them to your PM boxes. Fingers crossed!

P.S. The Conch was a lie.

The conch was god.

It was a good plan, without the good sense to be gigantic boulder-proof.

Yeah, he's a banned spammer. Normally we'd delete this thread too, but people were having too much fun with it by the time we got here.

I think you're mistaken. The Conch was used to get people's attention, and perhaps to signify leadership. The rotten pig's head was a god. It was called "the Lord of the Flies" by Ralph, I think.

"Lord of the flies" = literally Beelzebub = the devil.

Conch: civilization, leadership, whatever.

This was one of the books I prepared for the AP English exam... I had some crazy theories back then.

I reckon the conch would have worked. Tim just should have been immediately killed upon deferring.

Why killed? Tied to a tree or thrashed or something seems appropriate, but murder seems a bit extreme for a little boy.

I feel left out. Never read Lord of the Flies. I probably should, someday. *shrug*

Holy crap, why did I not start watching One Punch Man earlier? This is the best thing.
probably figured an autobiography wouldn't be interesting

Really? I've heard some very mixed reviews about that book, to say the least.

I suspect you've never tried doing many illegal things yet in your game. The second the CCS knows you're "active", they'll come down on you like the hammer of God.

I also enjoyed Moby Dick and The Scarlet Letter.  You may want to take my opinions with a grain of salt.

Enjoy Moby Dick, hated The Scarlet Letter.

Some other books I like: A Tale of Two Cities, The Count of Monte Christo, 1984, and Musashi.
