Well, this is a bit exciting don't you think? Congrats Matthias, and look forward to hearing what you'll come up with!
Congrats, Matthias!
So, what will it be? Summer of Secrets? Summer of Suspicious Activity? I guess it could also be Summer of Sanity (in which, for once, we are somewhat sane).
Congrats, Matthias! I love the name!

We're turning it into the Summer of Speculation.

More special than that. Good try though.
OH! I know! The forum was started ten years ago, on June 8, I bet it has something to do with that!

I guess you'll have to wait another 20-ish hours to find out. ;)
Then I guessed right, and it is the ten-year anniversary?
Maybe it's the name of the first ever nameday name... Or a combination.
Ach, a major name, Matthias! Zree cheerz fer Redwall!!!
Excellent name! *raises a toast, with a healthy spreading of Vegemite* For Redwall, and the memories it holds!
For Redwall! *raises cup filled with toast*
*Takes a... sip of toast?*
There's nothing quite like a refreshing cold glass of toast!
Indeed. *has run out of toast* Oh dear.

You're welcome! I haven't posted an Announcement like that in 2 1/2 years, so it kind of built up into this. :D
Ah, I love the name, Matthias! *raises glass*

@Matthias720 that was a good speech, man
Yeah, what One-Eye said. Friggin' loved it.
Anyone else struggle with the brightness of that yellow? x0 But when I could read it, looked a great name! ;D
Oh yeah, and I appreciated the speech you made, Matthias. :D

The joys of dark mode.
And the joys of having Matthias as our Season Namer (and Speechifier, if that's the right word for it.) Three cheers!
Hip hip
Hurrah!
Where is said speech?

That's not really a speech...

People tend to think the cake is a lie, but that's just misinformation spread by mainstream media.
'Let them eat cake' is misinformation spread by mainstream media.
Or, at the very least, a frequently quoted mistranslation.

Ooh!
They turned out well. ^-^
I'm a moron in the kitchen. But I'm learning.
I recently got quite good at baking, then I moved to high elevation...it's a nightmare trying to alter my recipes! 8(
*much confusion because I is an even more idiotic idiot than Scott, when it comes to baking* Alter your recipes? How do you mean?
For higher elevation...you may want to look it up, but basically, the elevation and gravity changes how things cook and bake, and you have to do things like...
Increase liquid
Increase temp.
Decrease time
Mess with the amount of sugar, flour, and yeast
So forth, and so on...
Ohh, that makes sense. Are you saying that making cake-cookies for all of us is hard, because we all live in different parts of the world?
Yes.
Ah.
Cookies are one of the less-effected things though...
I haven't been able to make my fav. recipe successfully yet...
I don't have to have one, if it's easier that way...

I'm not sure, but I believe it's mostly due to the lower pressures at higher elevations.

Why the smily face? Are you plotting to take over the world with the cilantro?
My, what a silly thing to say!
Well, it's an idea.
I would never do something like that! :)
Oh, so that's where Sebias got his humility from. Are you afraid that it'll sound too prideful to admit that you want to rule the world (along with the cilantro)?
Silly chook, I don't want to rule the world.

I didn't think it was bad (I still don't know what it means), but he said it was "just" a social construct, therefore implying that it wasn't important.
I did say that it was a general thing.

C-ca-can we just celebrate the feast and decide whether it's a social construct later?
Well don't stand around looking like a bunch of frazzled frogs at a frying, y'all, we'd better hurry up and eat the feast before Kade comes to his senses and realises that there's a bunch of food laying around everywhere!

Is forum games a post counting board? She could probably post there.
I don't believe it is.
QuoteForum Games
Play forum games in this section (post count is off)
That's the description of it.
I'm pretty sure I'd have far more posts if it was. I used to post a lot in GvsG (though I've stopped recently), and I still post a fair amount in other threads.

Well, obviously now that you're at an even 1,000, it would be pure heresy to change it. Like pumping gas and trying to land on an even dollar or gallon.
If the only requirement is that it's even, it's fine as long as she posts in pairs.
