I'm not really sure if this is anime or not, but it's an interesting pic :wub:

Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing. ~Ben Franklin~

Ehh...I'm not so sure I agree. After all, the English community is only one part of Tanki, and although you might be seeing an awful lot of 'I quit' threads here, you really have no idea how the Russian or Brazilian communities are faring. (Unless you happen to speak both Russian and Portuguese.) Though yes, I think a successful launch on the Unity platforms could go a long way towards increasing the game's popularity.

You'd better hope this girl doesn't play tanki. Oh, actually, scratch that. It might solve some of your problems :lol: :lol: :lol:. And congratulations to her. :)
-
Ari-ka-shi-ka-ri. Lol, I like it.
-
The Sandlot How To Train Your Dragon!!! :) Oh yeah, and Iron Man was really good. Definitely a favorite.

Hey Darren, interesting piece. ^_^ Reminds me of Charlotte's Web. Ever read it?
-
Guitarist. :)

Well, you could take a chip from the Viking's rocks and carve your words into stone :lol:. Even if a person's writing gets destroyed, as long as that person is still alive, the ideas are still there... it is only when a person dies and his\her work is forgotten that the ideas and words lose all power to influence. (Em...good answer? I had to think about that one for a bit ^_^)
-
Aw snap, and here I thought I was communicating so effectively. :lol:
-
But the words you wrote with the pen could still be there...still affecting events, long after the pen itself is useless. :huh: Good point though.
-
The meaning of the topic is this: I took a creative look at an old saying. That's it. ^_^
-
Lol, I must say that I've been enjoying myself immensely. It's all been in good fun, at least on this end. :) So thanks for making it an interesting evening, at least. :D
-
By posting CLOSED BY STUPID USER, you forgot that. :D
-
C'mon, y'know Riordan was jerking the ol' chain, when he made Percy's sword a pen and a sword. Talk about irony... :lol:
-
That might just about do it, thankye kindly.
-
:lol: :lol: :lol: Well then, I might as well just save them the trouble and edit it to say TOPIC CLOSED BY STUPID USER. Then again, I might not, because it'll be interesting to see just how long this makes it.
-
Oh and one last thing... I'm quite positive that I saw some topic on how to make chocolate chip cookies the other day. If the forum needs that, then I think my ramblings on pens and swords won't hurt either. :) (Err....that is until the mods decide to disagree.)
-
:rolleyes: :rolleyes: Nosir, that humor's a bit to advanced for my mind. Can ya put it in laymans terms :lol:
-
Fine. Then we'll settle on the most point-less, point-full piece out there.
-
;) ;) Alright. This was very...pointfull then.
-
T'was indeed, a wise 'ok' (Tbh, I'll be lucky if this thing doesn't get deleted for having no point :ph34r: :ph34r: :lol:) Just me poking fun at a saying. (I mean, if you take it literally...lol.)

The Wordsmith: On Writing Implements and Swords
Night-Sisters replied to Night-Sisters in The Wordsmith: On Writing Implements and Swords Archive
The Wordsmith: On Writing Implements and Swords They say that the pen is mightier than the sword. I disagree. A pen is nothing but a hollow tube of plastic encasing a cartridge of ink. It functions as an extension of the directing hand and the reflecting mind that guides it. Nothing more. It is not a rare, valuable nor remarkable object - and beyond a propensity for giving one a nasty writer's cramp, there is nothing particularly dangerous or mighty about a pen. Imagine this: A desperate scalawag has just challenged you to a duel. He stands at the ready opposite you, wielding a wickedly sharp blade of tapered steel. You, are holding a pen. You uncap it, and sadly, no celestial bronze blade appears. It's just a pen. Your opponent's sword comes up, and a sinking feeling establishes itself in the bottom of your gut. You realize that it's good-bye to this world and hello to the next, because no pen is going to stop a sword-thrust. So, no. The pen is not mightier than the sword. But words are. The ability to write - to capture thoughts and lay them out the page - proves a far more resilient and durable thing than any iron bar. Because a sword, powerful as it is, will eventually weaken and rust. It will shatter. Its time to influence events is limited. But words can inspire generations of people. They ring clearly through the centuries...the millennia even, connecting the reader with all those who came before. Show me a sword that can do that and I'll be impressed. Night-Sisters -
Aha! You didn't deny it...I can see right through your covert attempts to avoid the question.... ;) ;) ;) Jk. Lol.

Thanks, and thanks for the advice...this piece was my very first attempt at 'starting a topic', so I'm still working out the formatting kinks and trying to find a style that's all my own. ^_^ :ph34r: I agree that Google (and Microsoft word) has excellent thesaurus options. But there's also nothing like sitting down with a thesaurus and hunting the pages for the expression you want. But you're right. Google does save on time :P Yes, I am a 'her'. Female. Girl. Señorita. Puella. Fille. Mädchen I mean, people don't have to take me at my word, but things could get fairly confusing, fairly quickly if they didn't Besides, how do I know you're not an alien??? :lol: :lol:
