TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
I will be leaving tomorrow around noon and shall not be returning till Sunday evening. If anyone wants to do any RP'ing tonight I shalt be around but be forewarned I'm going to be absent for a couple days.

[Aurora Snow]

Dumbass, put that in the absence thread.

I feel like utter shyte tonight.. I'm at work an hour passed my leave time already, and I think I'm running a fever. o.O

[Lothaire]

Meh, its not significant enough to be in there...just 2 days lol.  Plus I suck at editing all that fancy code shit.

[Ash Leone]

Okay, images are all up in the horse chai info thread, a post is up for the fennec foxes, and I finished the Macaws.

I am full of win tonight.  Too bad I didn't get that desk and bookshelf set up, and just realized I have to be at work in 3 and a half hours. 

[Mike Anderson]

Damn dude work on 3.5 hours of sleep sucks

[Aurora Snow]

No shit.

[Aurelius Lawson]

I have promenade tonight....

Sorry, I use very 'classical' English,sometimes.
At least I don't call an eggplant an 'aubergine'.
Woohoo for King's English! I could actually pass as a Brit online, if I wanted to.
Sorry, just a sleep-deprived rant. Pay no mind. I must soon go to put on my little red dress.

190 my ass

[Ash Leone]

Dude, Stephen Hawing IS the man.  I hadn't ever really looked into him, but he's got a great sense of humor and shit beneath being just plain smart as hell.  He's pretty freakin' awesome.

So is that little girl, btw.  Wow.

[Aurelius Lawson]

190 my ass

To whom was that directed, Miss Angie?
By the by, there is a major difference between boasting and stating plain fact.

[Ash Leone]

I kinda wonder what my IQ would be.  I mean, I'm no genius and I know it, but I'm not STUPID.  That article said that 100 is about average, so maybe I'd be cool enough to get a little above it.  That little girl was listed as being in Stephen Hawking's IQ bracket, comparative to her age, which is INSANE.  That was 152. 

Can you imagine being over 50 IQ points above everyone else?  I wonder if Hawking ever thinks that everyone around him is really stupid and needs to stop asking him the same questions over and over.

I know I tested somewhere above 140 when I was in High School, but if its true that alcohol kills brain cells, I'm probably a bit lower on the scale now. Oh yeah, and I'm back...ready willing and able to make some posting happen.

The tests that they deliver to you in high school are bunk - as with most of them. If your IQ was really in the 140 area, they should have snapped you up right then and there. That little girl's IQ is determined to be in the 150 area, and she was accepted into MENSA. Now, think about what a little bit of training would have done from the right people.

Estelore, it was definitely a drunk post, but that bit was certainly directed at your bullshit claim. You can talk about how high it is all you want, but there are already a number of things you've done to prove otherwise. Not only that, but WHICH test is it that you took? If you consistently scored a 190, you would definitely be one of the highest ranking IQs around MENSA, not to mention part of other organizations as well.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_IQ_society

The ceiling of most standardized (validated and normed) intelligence tests is at around 99.9th percentile. Measurements above this level need â€" for a credible result â€" a calculation, extrapolation and interpretation (including observations during the tests and sub-tests) by psychometricians being experienced in high IQ testing, and at least two differently designed standardized tests (among these at least one supervised) should be performed. Measurements above 99.9999th percentile are rather doubtful as no sufficient correlation studies and normings are available.

There's no need to try and lie to us to impress us, but the members that play here aren't stupid, so please don't insult our intelligence by making obviously false claims and speaking to us as though we're children. It lost its novelty about 3 posts ago.

[Lothaire]

Yeah...well I was in the gifted program....so yeah there...I WAS GIFTED....

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWW

[Aurelius Lawson]

The tests that they deliver to you in high school are bunk - as with most of them.

This wasn't a single high-school test. Since I was four years old (out here in the boonies, they don't pay much attention to the mental skills of toddlers, and I wasn't raised in the city), I've taken every test that MENSA provides in the English language, as well as seven tests from sources external to MENSA, and I've scored consistently in the manner stated previously. I've taken these tests every year of my life since I was four.
I am *insert-expletive-adjective-here* SICK of taking their *expletive* tests.

If your IQ was really in the 140 area, they should have snapped you up right then and there.

They tried. I hate MENSA. MENSA is for the idiots who want to pay the egregious dues. I don't need to be in a club to recognise my own intelligence, and I don't need them to tell others how smart I am. It sucks to be a genius, but I'm not going to get into that right now.

That little girl's IQ is determined to be in the 150 area, and she was accepted into MENSA. Now, think about what a little bit of training would have done from the right people.

I'm sure that hers will be an interesting life. Note, please, that you must be 'accepted' into MENSA. It doesn't mention the dues and the various ridiculous things that they demand of you.

Estelore, it was definitely a drunk post, but that bit was certainly directed at your bullshit claim.

Rude. I don't care what you think of me, to be perfectly honest, but I don't appreciate it when people are so deliberately rude. If you choose to ban me for speaking the truth and then defending it, so be it.

You can talk about how high it is all you want, but there are already a number of things you've done to prove otherwise.

If you intend to sling hash, please be EXTREMELY specific. Anything less is totally invalid.
If you claim that I 'do not talk like a genius', then you are being completely ridiculous. Anything other than normal conversation would be unacceptable in an internet society. The last thing I want to do is explain the meanings of the words I use.
If you intend to nit-pick my typographical errors, then you have too much time on your hands, and you need to engage in a healthier activity by which to vent your constant need to compete.
Honestly, Angie, what is eating you so badly? What have I done to you, that you feel the need to attack me so personally? How have I offended you?

Not only that, but WHICH test is it that you took?

Not 'test', singular, but 'tests', plural. They NEVER just give you only the one test.

If you consistently scored a 190, you would definitely be one of the highest ranking IQs around MENSA, not to mention part of other organizations as well.

No dip, Sherlock. Once again, I hate MENSA. I have no personal need to flaunt the superiority complex of a group of lonely, overpaid nerds.

You are quoting WIKIPEDIA?!?
And you claim that I offend YOUR intelligence!

There's no need to try and lie to us to impress us, but the members that play here aren't stupid, so please don't insult our intelligence by making obviously false claims and speaking to us as though we're children. It lost its novelty about 3 posts ago.

First, I'm not lying, and I do not lie. I have no need for it.
I have no desire to impress you. I came here for the entertainment of roleplay involving a good book series, not to toady to a group of kids who aren't doing their homework and adults who have better things to do.
I never called you stupid. I never called you anything, for that matter.
'Obviously False Claims'...what proof do you have?
When have I spoken to any of you like children (excepting my previous reference to kids, within this post)?
Actually, there is a very good chance that I AM older than you, but that matters not a whit to me.
Novelty is overrated. Everything grows old. For instance, I am sick and tired of your unfounded claims against my honesty. They grew old two posts ago.

Folks, do you believe in the scientific method?
It relies on a simple requirement: nothing can be proven true. You can test and test something as much as you like, but you can never prove it TRUE. Certainly, some things, like two-and-two-make-four, are accepted as LAW, because no instance has occurred in which this is false.
The only way to determine the factuality of something is to test it for falsehood.
You can ALWAYS try to prove something FALSE.
Prove that I am lying.
Don't just cite some useless website (notorious for unreliability, mind).
Actually PROVE that I have spoken falsely. If you show me some Real, Absolute, Cannot-be-refuted Proof, then I shall concede the point with a smile on my face.

Until then, please (with all due respect, of course) shut the Hell up.

Angie, if, outside this post, I have shown you any unkindness or disrespect, I earnestly apologise.
I truly don't know what I've done to earn your ridicule, but if you'd tell me, then I could make amends for it.
If, however, I've done nothing wrong (which I do believe is the case), then I couldn't care less what you think.
Actually, I really don't care, either way. I'm not here to make enemies, though, or I'd not be here at all.
I don't NEED your friendship, but I WOULD enjoy it, I'm sure. If you want me to leave, I'm fine with that. If you want me to stay, I'm fine with that. It is your call (as a member of the administration), and if you feel petty enough to give me the boot, then there is little I can do about it.
I have no desire to linger among people who call me 'liar'.

Anyway, thank you for your time.
Sincerely (each and every word),
Estelore
