I think the implication is that you "tilt at windmills", Kaz. I have to say, its damned accurate. :lol:
Title: Who changed my title....
Post by: Kazan on April 10, 2004, 10:53:47 pm
that implication doesn't make sense to me
Title: Who changed my title....
Post by: Rictor on April 10, 2004, 11:16:15 pm
It basically amounts to you trying to take down a solid concrete wall with an arsenal of cotton puffs at your disposale. The implication is that you are just beating your head against an impenetrable wall called "other people". Seems fairly accurate to me, though the connotation is a bit distant.

You've been going on weird tangents lately, like the smoking one.  Let's just say it's a very Quixotic topic to bring up at a web board.
Title: Who changed my title....
Post by: Bobboau on April 10, 2004, 11:29:57 pm
out of the blue anyway

"Quixotic " I have _GOT_ to remember that word

Post by: Shrike on April 10, 2004, 11:37:11 pm
It's great, isn't it?  It really is a good term.  I've seen a lot of heated debates like that on various forums and their success rate in converting people to different viewpoints is very, very low.

I seem to remember it featuring in War of Honor, quite a bit.

Eh?  What are you glaring as me for?  I haven't read War of Honor and I probably never will.

I could have sworn it wore off to Myrmadon after 10 posts.  Looks like you've got a custom title after all :p

Post by: Rictor on April 10, 2004, 11:43:39 pm
Indeed. What are you people, some kind of title Nazis. I'm a lowly Fenris. A Fenris, damnit, not even a Leviathan. Though I must admit, that title is a bit more respectful now, due to KARMA's excellent effort to bring honour back to the proud Fenris heritage.

Hear my might rage, below forth from the depths of Hell itself..

Bwaaaahhh.

edit:

:mad2: :mad2:

And two evil smilies for you Shrike. Two, when one will simply not suffice. Oh, I am merciless indeed.

Well, seen as you were the one who brought up the word 'quixotic', it'd only really make sense to glare at you.

*glares at UT senselessly*

See?

There's nothing after 'Colossus', right?
Title: Who changed my title....
Post by: Shrike on April 10, 2004, 11:52:27 pm
There's three more, currently.
Title: Who changed my title....
Post by: StratComm on April 10, 2004, 11:52:36 pm
Says the only person to have actually attained the coveted "Colossus" title.  The idea is by that time you should have earned a custom title of some sort.  Too bad for the whole database screw-up thing and the partial resetting of titles, huh.

EDIT: There's more?  Shrike, why'd you tell him?  (As I await Anon's attempts to spam over 10k)
Title: Who changed my title....
Post by: an0n on April 10, 2004, 11:55:38 pm
No, no, no. I don't have a title because I've had the "Insidious lil' *****" and "Shrike's lil *****" ones with a pink glow, but then I got perma-banned.

I'm happy staying as a default.

Post by: Bobboau on April 11, 2004, 01:36:17 am
the jist:
Don was an old knight, senile, but very very stupidly brave, and nearsighted, while traveling about oneday he sees this giant, well actualy he sees this windmill, but he thinks it's a giant, so he charges it on his old as him steed, and nearly gets killed, but he doesn't let that get him down, he keeps trying to find the cowardly giant that bolted just before he hit that windmill he crashed into, and trying to win the love of some woman,

I never read it myself, that's just the jist I've picked up.

and hence why i dislike the title

if implies i don't know what I'm doing, and that i am fighting a futile battle.

Post by: Liberator on April 11, 2004, 02:07:29 am
Kaz, you are fighting a futile battle.  But we still like you!:D

It's still fun isn't it though. I've learned a lot from those threads.

And the title fits.

Oh and Don Quixote is also one of the four male character archetypes in literature, so you should feel proud.
