Gruumash has ceded?! 196...
Asmodeus wins, a glorious victory, which I claim on his behalf.
In proof of this fact, 1000 in base approximately 9.3024775 is 805 in base 10.
Although also along these lines, a number of earlier posters, had they thought along similar lines could have claimed equally valid wins.
Rules being rules, though, the Prince of Law wins!
Hey, not fair! Mathematics is an abyssal science. Hence negative numbers, imaginary numbers, chaos theory, and the banking industry...
I claim a win in the name of Lamashtu, because she is biggest and bestest goddess in the Abyss and writes the rules of mathematics!
Technically though, you're insane, just like your goddess. You think she dresses up in flowers and sends floppy, hopsy, bunnies to protect little children in need.
No, no, no. She sends her cute, adorable, little teddy-bears to protect children, the Shemhazians. Everyone knows Shemhazians are cute adorable teddy-bears.
And she does dress up in flowers. Have you ever seen an Oirisial skull-bloom? If you've ever seen any kind of selection of religious artwork of the glorious goddess, I think you'll find that I've just made my case. Those are flowers which she's wearing, not skulls. It would be just crazy and wrong - and something Asmodeus would do - wearing real skulls.
I don't deny that the Prince of Law wouldn't be above making the use of the skulls of his enemies if it were an entirely appropriate manner in which to manifest his infinite wisdom, power, and majesty.
But at present, since this thread is now over as far as we are concerned, and at least one of us has won it (I maintain that this is myself) we ought to evacuate and leave these other posters to play out their stuff until they reach post 1000 in base 10.
This is a trick, right, which you don't think I'll fall for, so I will because you're wrong!
<wanders out of thread to look for a teddy-bear>
few hundred to go
<rolls eyes and heads out of thread in opposite direction, reciting praises to Asmodeus>
Oh! less than 200!
I'm still waiting, d'oh or not.
Oooo, a thread where I automatically win. Thanks folks! :)
It's funny though. I don't recall entering any contest ... is this thing legit?
Oooh it's Casanova! Take off the mask you nasty impersonator!
yeah why not, helps the post count...
Why do you folks keep posting? Is it to congratulate me? If so thank you very much (though I still don't recall entering any contest or sweepstakes ...).
Fascinating.
