Thanks to you all!:thup: And Fatmankev, Ninva, Sil3nt and the all the other participants, you did a great job as well!!
I'm still taking care of my footman wars map, and I'll have to release it's 4th version this Sunday. As soon as things get done I'll make up the topic for the 7th contest, and anytime next week it'll start.
Anyway I'm honored to be 1st place:thup: Good luck guys!
Easily overturned suggestion: Hey, can we make the deadline a little shorter? I doubt anyone took a month of continuous work to write any of the poems. Maybe two weeks? If not, that's fine too.
We don't do the month-long deadlines for people to work on the poetry, we do it so that more people have the chance to join Not everyone sees these threads right away, so it's good to give it some time to be known.
Once upon a time, I had a pretty big poetry thread. But I posted the poetry on my site, which currently is no more. Without the other site, I couldn't do much to re-work a 4-5 page thread... I closed it, merged it with other unsuccessful threads of the same nature [of mine, not of anyone else's] and I'm starting over. Again.
Without fancy thread titles or added dramatics, this is my poetry. Currently, I have 97 recorded poems. However, 1 is AWOL in the hands of a friend [only a written copy exists] and it is not available. I have the other 96, in the list below. I will be posting them randomly, whenever I feel like, unless someone requests a certain poem, based upon curiosity from the title.
Some of them are love poems, some of them are very bitty, and some are very foul-worded. None of them will be censored. Here it is;
Slap me around
Push me down
Bleed me out
Scream and shout
Where’d you go
Now I know
This hill is steep
This hell is deep
I feel so sick
Click click click
Bang, all sound dies
All the angels cry
Do you get it?
Can you forget it?
Listen to my words
While I die on these swords
Time moves on
Everything else is gone
If you’re so strong
Why’s it feel so wrong?
If I lie
Will you die?
If I stutter
Will I end up in the gutter?
All questions, no answers
No cures for this cancer
I know once you burn
It’s my turn
Tiny lines
Tell bad times
A catchy tune
You’re hooked too soon
Done? Head back to the top
You can’t stop
Call me an infection
I’ll be your addiction
The Effect of Music
Music flows through my veins
Music soothes my numerous pains
Washes my soul clean of all stains
But still my curse remains
But it’ll heal
Because I can feel
Everything that is not real
All I need is your reason to steal
I’ve come to say what I need to say
And then I swear I’ll go away
This is it, I’m gone after today
I’m going to disappear, fade and fray
I’ve got to do what I was born to do
When I’m done, I promise you’ll disappear too
Because what I’ve got to do is corrupt you
Why stop at one damned life when you can have two?
But I don’t know if I can last
Because it’s taken forever, and this pain still hasn’t passed
Feels like everything’s crashed
Everyone’s moving too fast
The rules of this life are far to strict
They choke me, making me sick
This effect I’ve found, I abuse it
The effect of music
Governmental Roller Coaster
Bang bang! Says the shots as fired
Not my war, belongs to the government
A world run by liars
Imagine all the money spent
Dismantle all military bases
Spread the wealth of unjust gold
Unmasked their hidden faces
Denounce the laws you’re told
Unjust war and rigged elections
Political sins committed without a care
Illusions made to pass inspections
Their brand of justice is just unfair
Conformity is the economic goal
Faceless drones lined up side-by-side
They flaunt all the freedom they stole
Politics, man, what a ride!
The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
