I was about to ask if you've ever met the man when I realized that no, you probably haven't. But let me assure you… he's not. :)
Ha. Definitely have never met ANYONE who posts in this forum in real life. Although I do know someone that occasionally asks questions to the board.

meh

Personally, I thought it was weird from day one. But then again, I really didn't care for Board Identity either...

I'm just referencing the hatred this morning. It's not like we've avoided foreshadowing the future. Ya'll just had to whip out your juicers and start sipping haterade since the moment you woke up.

And Marduk is for Marzipan. So you don't really care for...yourself. Either. Ha. ha.
You are cool.

Yes. You are old.

I am loving the Borg. They give the answers while providing me entertainment!

Just sayin'.

{Am I allowed to say I'm not a fan of this? Probably not. I support everything the Board does as a collective! :D)

Question of the day: Who is Formicus of Borg? Is that HM? Or is it the Detective? Something on the blog seemed to say The Detective had been assimilated.

I was thinking Formicus = Foreman.

Answer: This Board Writer famously had a dating application with a picture of Tom Cruise, but has since begun dating a ladyfriend he names Stargirl. He's the middle of a trio of brothers that write for the Board. Famous for his blue eyes and hands-on experiments. After being assimilated by the Borg, he took on this name.

At least, that's how I would answer this.

My question of the day is How did Rating Pending answer as himself after answering as Borg R.P.? I am, of course, very glad he did. Maybe there's hope!

Edit: Shoot. Everyone's faster than me. I spent too long being creative.

Yep. Sorry, love. But also entertaining!

That's okay, C. Your answer was the best one. Hahahahaha.... But

Eight of 20, Primary Detector of Unimatrix 100= This one was hard, but definitely 100 typing monkeys.
Hobbes and Marzipan of Borg= Hobbes and Marizpan, obviously.
Second of Five, Gimgimnus of Borg= Gimgimno
Claudius of Borg= Claudio
Formicus of Borg= Foreman (by common consent)
Borg R.P.= Rating Pending
Grey Sheep of Borg= The Black Sheep (I like this name, btw.)
Cognoscente of Borg= Cognoscente
CK of Borg= Commander Keen

Yeah. That's what's up. I'm awesome.

Also, those left:

Anomalous
Humble Master
Laser Jock
Mico
Loki (Okay, so Loki doesn't really count. But I hope that Loki is borgified. That would be awesome.)
Saint Sebastienne
Sky Bones
and Sauron
Yellow

That means half the board is gone already. Approximately. Actually, writer-wise, it's almost exact.

Man, I LOVE Loki.

I KNO. Can you imagine him borgified? Oh my hilarity that would ensue. And can you imagine the power that the Collective would have if it assimilated a GOD?

You forgot FN Agnostic!

He (sorry if you're a she, I don't remember. Too tired. Also too tired to fix comma splice) doesn't have a seperate entry on the writer bio thing.

Actually, that's probably just a result of things not getting approved in time. It's not always easy to figure out what day a question will post, and if a question gets delayed by a day for some reason, the answer may not match up.

So, in other words, the network traffic caused by all the Borg assimilation causes the internet's tubes to get clogged, and messages come through later than expected.

I noticed yesterday when I logged in to the Board that the registered reader panel was gray. Sure enough, everything else is starting to turn gray as well. Ah, the Borg's favorite color.

Quite a few more assimilated writers today. Pseudoname, Mico, Saint Sebastienne, Queen Alice...

We'll know the world's in trouble when Sky Bones gets assimilated.

Don't you think Primary Detector is The Detective? And Unimatrix 100 just means the 100 Hour Board?
