The Tusk of Tantornalia

[Pringles]

In celebration of the holidays I'd like to hold a small, awful and filthy scheme.

Anyone who posts in this thread may choose only one number between 1-1000. If you do not post the number in your first post of the thread it will not be counted.

On December the twenty third of MMDCCLXX1 after the founding of Rome one lucky nerd, nerdette, or Tune will receive a fabulous prize!

The prize?

I will be using this to determine the winner.

The button click I will stream live direct to your elf palace if you are into that sort of think.

The city of Rome was founded sometime in the seventh century BCE based on archaeological findings. They themselves used 753 BCE as the date. So historians just go with their fancies in this one respect. So yeah WTF its 2711 CE? Well no you see there was this guy called J.C. although there were actually two but this one tackled enough ass and glass for two J.C. so why add another? Anyways this totally bald but also cool man decides to codify the calendar system and it turns out it was pretttttty good for a long time even after like all those dudes. their sons, and even the cities they lived in were dust. To bring it all back around romans modern history began in 753 BCE much like it does in modern climes on 0 CE. This calendar is similar enough to today's that I won't argue the fine point of calenderical extremism but it had a problem in that there weren't enough leap years. This was a problem after 500 years. A bunch of cool dudes came up with all sorts of wild and fun calendar systems but a conservative choice the Gregorian was chosen which we use to this day. I figure the prize was for laziness. How hard can it be to add a leap year.

I guess a more accurate saying would be that this is the year MMDCCI of the Senate and People of Rome.

o/



some weird gay thought: always found it fascinating that calendar are in some ways a living document. While time and how we perceive it is fairly universal how we go about codifying the keeping of it is fascinating and can give insight into a culture or people.

I thought about this and any duplicates I will probably move one up or down an integer however I hoped 999 choices would be sufficient while also giving a somewhat reasonable chance for a win to an individual participant. A list of who's who will be posted on the morning of the twenty third and ill roll off sometime in the afternoon. I have a toga party to host and get trashed at so time is of the essence. :cool:


Also I'm fairly hip to who's' troll account is who's so don't get pissy when SpyderWutangTheSublime isn't on the list.

[natescraigslist]

F!@#$!# CIAU NOW THAT I LEARNED WHO U REALY ARE THRU DISCORD I APOLOGIZE FOR THE D-BAG IVE BEEN TO YOU WITHOUT EVER KNOWING YOU MAN...

[aaezil]

Quite a few people have recently made accounts that also happen to only have 1 total post (here) what a funny coincidence!

[Pringles]

In the interest of transparency yeah any account made after the OP timestamp will be pruned. I wanted to post this the last day as a gotcha bitch post but I'll be upfront since it came up. There are a few more conditionals that throw up flags to be looked into but we all know some random druid no one heard of is gonna win anyways.


since its me

WTS PRE POST DUMMY ACCOUNT PST

@Caiu

Have to apologize for this post (https://www.project1999.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2530243&postcount=96). At the time I was very much a noob (still am), and the staff, although cheap to almost everyone was pretty valuable to me. It was my own fault that I didnt get it back as I wasnt logging in regularly. I saw you again about a year later on my Monk, and mentioned it and you replaced it with an Efreeti Ice Staff. An awesome come up for me, and probably the nicest item ive owned still to this day. Thank you for that!

"On December the twenty third of MMDCCLXX1 after the founding of Rome"

After the founding of Rome, not Anno Domini. There was some debate about what year this actually references in the middle of the thread, don't want to go back and dig up which page.
