The Amazing Tangent Thread (aka You Can't Derail A Thread With No Rails To Begin With)

[crimson5pheonix]

Don't underestimate the power of derailing. If I had the interest, I could probably derail a thread like this.

I disagree.

I think you just did, therefore you can't derail it.

Think I just did what?

Nice to know that I wasn't the only one thinking about that, i'm pretty sure it's possible.

It's not only possible, I've done it before.

Like that time we derailed that thread with our Warhammer 40k banter? That was fun.

I haven't played 40k in a while now, I have a medium force of Tyranids, but haven't added to it in a long time, due to reasons beyond my control. I still get the White Dwarf magazine every month though.

Derailed it.

In fact, quoting someone else adds rails and therefore derails the thread.

I fail to see what you are doing. I'm just saying I could derail the thread if I wanted to.

I just conquered Greece in Rome - Total War.

Someone tell me how awesome this game is. Someone. Please. I'm beginning to think the Escapist doesn't know this game, owing to the huge number of hints I've dropped about it in the last two days with absolutely no responses.

Well as the Juili I've conqured about.. a third maybe, of the known world. My only major threat is egypt right now. The other roman families bow before me.
Bwa-hahahahahaha!

Ah, but I started this campaign 2 days ago. And getting past the Greek Cities/Macedon barrier as Brutii is one of the hardest parts of the game.

Quite true indeed.
Bastards with their Phalanx even though the Greek City states is my most often played faction.
Dealing with any horse heavy factions are a pain to though. All those horse archers....

How can you fail to see what I'm doing?

I'm not doing anything, besides eating the muffin you gave me.

You should watch a show called "Weeds", it's really good.

I got that muffin from the bakery in the hammer space portal where I got mine, good isn't it?

It is a reasonable muffin.

I've had better, I've had worse I suppose.

Of course, I prefer donuts, but still.

Speaking of thread, what colour do you usually use? I'm fond of green myself.

Pffft. Phalanx.

Well then you should go to your hammer space bakery and talk to them about the sub standard muffins. I didn't want to say anything because I'm polite.

 

[Veldt Falsetto]

Derailing the underailable thread would be just giving it rails right?

 

[Danik93]

I like Trains....

 

[dibblywibbles]

then derail it already! on a side note I had a few drinks last night and bumped into some people I haven't seen in like 3 years! how awesome is that?

Did you know the Large Hadron Collider is in the shape of a doughnut? It's going to blow up and suck the world in (maybe).

We have freaking 90 km/h winds right now. I don't wanna go outside.

No, you give the thread rails, then take them away.
