[t3h_pwn3r_ii]

I've always wanted to address that IG, but I didn't want to rustle any feathers.
So happy, now we all learn a little hopefully with you around.

[Mizreg]

also, andalaybay, whats the Dark Brotherhood Chronicles all about, since I am a big fan of the followers of the Nightmother........

Just got to add ...

"Canadian Borg" - :lmao:

Very welcome to anyone with that good a sense of humour!

[AndalayBay]

Mizreg - check the DBC link in my sig. There's a WIP post in the Dark Family forum that gives a bit of a description.

Basically is a large quest mod that picks up where the DB questline ends. It's similar to A Brotherhood Renewed, but takes the story further than that.

And yes, I will now assimilate Black Marsh... mwahahahaha.

Reading the translated message in the avatar: I appreciate how polite the Candian Borg themselves are since they have assimilated two languages without being so rude as to do away with either one of them. =)

[AndalayBay]

:lmao: Except that to get assimilated in French, you need to press 2...

Oh, so it's like a phone network? I always felt like I was being assimilated whilst stuck in one of those things.

Or even worse - one of those voice recognition automated telephone menus -

Koniption stuck in an automated voice phone menu :

*I dial the number to check my bank balance*

Phone: "Hello, welcome to the Southern Trust Bank, thank you for visiting with us. How may we help you? For your latest debit transactions, say *one*. For your latest credit deposits, say *two*....etc, for a bank representative, say *9*."

Koniption: "Ni...omg, BAD KITTY!"

Phone: "We're sorry, we do not recognize your option. For your latest debit transactions, say *one*. For your latest credit deposits, say *two*....etc, for a bank representative, say *9*."

Koniption: "Ni..*nearby relative farts real loud*."

Phone: "We're sorry, we do not recognize your option. For your latest debit transactions, say *one*. For your latest credit deposits, say *two*....etc, for a bank representative, say *9*."

.........................

Seriously, I had a flatulent relative restart a phone menu on me that way. Or maybe it was me...naw, I wouldn't do something like that. Surely to goodness, no.

I like the voice recognition that estimates how close a placename is to a swear word. For example:

Phone: Please state the branch number you wish to be connected with.

Me: Uh....you bastard.

Phone: Barton. Is that correct?

Me (firmly): No.

Phone: Please state the branch number you wish to be connected with.

Me: Muh, just f*** off

Phone: Farrow. Is that correct?

You can keep on going like this for a looong time. =)

Most automated menu systems can be defeated by taking out your frustration on the # key and hitting it repeatedly until the computer panics and puts you through to a real person. Not the right real person, of course but at least they will have real ears and possibly a telephone directory.
