YOUR PATIENCE HAS BEEN REWARDED. 42 IS BACK WITH A HUGE LIST OF RESPONSES FOR YOU. OR AS IT WAS KNOWN IN THE OLD DAYS, A 'FREAKOUT;.

 

Yeah, don't you just hate it when you're studying some new teleportation spell, but then it sends you to the other side of the world, and you need to come back the long way without using that teleportation spell again because using it again would probably make the situation even worse? Such a scenario is what kept me from making a response post for so long. Yep, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.   What do you mean, I managed to make some quick posts in the meantime which means I must have been here the whole time? It was clearly my... um... evil twin or something making those posts!

 

(I was actually doing uni work as always, but these past few weeks I've been working on something else in addition to uni work which has left me really busy this time. The additional thing is mostly over now, but I'm now getting to the later part of the uni semester when things get really busy so I think for a while longer I'm going to be coming on as frequently as I have the past few weeks)

 

Anyway, responses below!

 

8

 

I'll test a couple of coupons if ya offering? (no nefarious plans here)

 

Oh you like that...then your love this ¦)

 

Too many pictures! 42 had to remove some!

"by CyrilUnicorn"

 

there was no ghosts haha just a few friends doing me a solid for a couple of brohoofs haha (also I covered up the trap again after he got free....)

 

Too many pictures! 42 had to remove some!

 

"by Dalagar"

 

Don't worry my spies have reviled that it's not a bad cage haha  but the question is how does she keep escaping....(you don't need a hand do you?

 

"by otakuap"

 

and still no points? not even to Quartz...I mean if your not going to give her a bunch then give her some of mine man come on.......(this is her made by her)

 

 

"by @@Lady Kiriness, of course"

 

I know, She's amazing isn't she ‡D 

Totally Not Lyra sure messed with everything by refusing to use those 42 coupons for testing purposes. You are my most trusted enemy here, so I now award you three 42 coupons! Disclaimer: If you don't use them, I will take them back. I will not have another Not Lyra betrayal incident!

 

That is pretty cool. And definitely shocking! +1 point for the picture, and and extra +1 point for the pun.

 

42 doesn't believe in ghosts! There will never be a ghost-related trap in my lair! Well, unless the lair has a haunter mansion theme or something. Actually, a haunted mansion lair sounds really cool. So that's what you're up against yet! Anyway, +1 point for ghost pony.

 

Wait, it's a bar cage? Did Cinnamon forget I'm just two big, floating digits? I'm two-dimensional, so I can easily float between the bars! This image is really cute, so +2 points for this one!

 

Quartz's image is really good and definitely deserving of points. However, I refrained from giving them out because it doesn't seem like she's going to continue posting here. If she ever does become a regular poster, then I'd definitely give her lots of points for it!

 

 

27

Where is everyone?

I think they've stopped posting to give me a chance to respond to all the posts.

 

I wonder if I would be better off just not responding to everything anymore so all my foes stop counting to await the next response that will never come... Nah, I'm not quite that evil.

 

 

28

Not here

30

 

I trapped one in a wall, I don't know about everyone else though.

Wait, is there some kind of incident happening among yourselves stopping you from counting that I don't know about? How have I never heard of it yet? And why are your self-inflicted slow-downs much more effective than all the slow-downs I try to cause?

 

 

34

Too busy to count, sorry

36

Still too busy

Hey, that's a contradiction! You say you're too busy to count, and yet you're counting anyway! 42 does not abide such factual errors!

 

 

46 ¦)

 

Wait, what is this? A creepy pony song video? That's what Cinnamon does! Don't tell me you're going to try to spook me with creepy pony song videos too now!

Well, I certainly enjoy thinking very deeply about things. I suppose that's one of the main reasons I'm so obsessed with maths. And +3 points for a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy reference!

hay 42 I know you don't get along with seetiebot very much but do you think you can give her a hoof?

 

 

"by Cannibalus"

S-S-Sweetie Bot? Okay, okay, I promise to help you, just please keep all your lasers well away from me!

 

That is actually a really cute picture, so +4 points.

Lets see if I can find some way to relate every number I post to 42. (until I get bored of it anyway)

 

16

4^2

4  2

42

You are mathing in a really creative way! +3 points!

 

 

2

 

May I ask what you where working on or is that hidden in conspiracies? (oh and if you find this 42 watch out for my domino project as it could destroy a large amount of lairs very quickly)

I don't know? I think it would be more exiting if you could skip dethrones. it would add a possible problem to us if under the exact circumstance he posts on number 41, he could do it but that is very situational and people generally want to be number 42 so it usually goes quicker right at the end anyway making it hard to achieve and if he does manage to do it, you can simply count it as a fake lair made to waste the time of the people.....and if he by some chance gets ninja'd then he would have lost his coupon as he did use it? Just a thought as it might make people keep a better track of the forum so they can do some unexpected things ¦)

 

I doubt I will be that high up the list as he is still more then double me....and have you ever played a Bethesda game? Hoarding can be fun...  

 

 

"by pepooni"

 

hahahaha Oh yes you keep thinking that ¦) but you cant stop us from betting it on a couple games of "Paradox-Billiards-Vostroyan-Roulette-Fourth Dimensional-Hypercube-Chess-Strip Poker." haha (I make plans for everything, regardless of there usefulness haha) Also I hope to Celestia that you get that reference haha

 

 

"by JoelletheNose"

 

Well if that's the case I might as well show you another picture that you will be want to see haha  Feast your eyes....................

 

 

"by Alessio-Scalerandi"

It took me so long to respond to these posts that I honestly can't remember what I was doing that math on. I think it was something related to calculating the energy of a lattice of atoms since that's when I most recently used the equations for the volume and surface area of spheres.

 

The main reason I want the dethrones to work the way I said is that, if I see numbers above 42 I know I've had exactly one dethrone, if I see numbers above 84 I know I've had exactly two dethrones, and so on. With the system you propose, just knowing the current value of the count isn't enough and how the count itself progressed will need to be carefully followed to determine how many dethrones have occurred. But that doesn't necessarily mean I won't do it the way you proposed; it sounds like it could get much more chaotic that way, which is something I'd definitely like to see. I think the best way to decide how to handle it is to get more opinions. Does anyone else prefer one way over the other, or have another idea for how to handle it? And by the way, you get +2 points for constructive criticism.

 

Well, Not Lyra had a large initial boost for doing some incredible maths right when I introduced 42 points, but you're probably climbing quickly and steadily because you keep posting awesome art. Like that nice hoarding picture which I'm giving you +1 point for.

 

I initially intended for 42 points to be completely useless, but if you want to use them for betting, I am perfectly happy with that. Just let me know the results of you poker matches or whatever your gambling with, and I will make the necessary changes! Unfortunately, I didn't get that reference you made, but Dr. Google tells me it's from a series called If the Emperor Had a Text-to-Speech Device, which I know absolutely nothing about. Anyway, I shall award you +1 points for suggesting 42 points can be used for poker, and an additional +1 point for the villain poker image.

 

Zebras always inspire such awesome art! +2 points for that piece!

42

So simple and elegant! +3 points.

I would love to make a "FortyTwo42 = Illuminati Confirmed" post....but that would take too long XD

If you made a good one, it would probably earn you lots of 42 points!

 

 

10

 

Ok, I'm done trying to relate my numbers to 42 unless it can be done well, and 10 just can't.

10

5*2

52

52-10=42

 

That's the best I can do, and I think that's a bit long, especially since I use a 10 a second time.

 

 

13

 

13 backwards is 31

 

13/31 = .41935

 

Round that to .42

 

Does that count? 

That definitely counts! +3 points!

 

 

16

 

lol i think you should check your math again 

You just picked up on a math error! Good job, those are worth lots points! You just got +5 points!

 

By the way, I am well aware of all the posts by Ruby Splash, but I have decided not to respond to them because 1: I still don't have all that much free time, and 2: Ruby Splash doesn't seem to exist anymore (aka his account can no longer be accessed). I want to save time when I can, so I don't want to respond to someone who doesn't seem to be on the forums anymore.

 

 

Nope, now we are at 22.

I was adding that zero that you generously put in. Only 42 can reset our count. *boop* :3

22

Good job correcting the count after that! That is worth as much as finding a math error, so +5 points for you!

 

 

23

 

Hmm, the digits of 23 multiply to the same thing the digits of 42 add to.

That is indeed true! However, this 'relate current number to 42' trend has gone on for a little while now, so I am now awarding +2 points for this one.

 

 

25

 

Sorry pal but on the first post with all the rules on it it does state that each post will advance it meaning you can't do that....(I looked over all loopholes and I have a few things ready to unleash but the time isn't right yet and that isn't one of the things you can do Sorry....) 

Maybe I need to write a newbie's guide for this place? Now that I think about it, there are all kinds of rules and quirks here that I haven't written down on the first post. Especially since, if everything goes well with the 42 coupons, the rules here will change and become a bit more complicated. Also, explicitly pointing out and fixing loopholes is going to be very important too.

 

 

65

 

64 is 22 over, our overlord is very picky when it comes to mathing!

Yes he is! And corrections are rewarded! +5 points for you!

 

 

87

 

Wow there was an 8 post speed post (each post within 30 mins of each other) Here's me thinking i'm the only one who starts them haha But I haven't been on in several days and we only managed to get to the second Dethrone!!!! I should really just rally a couple hundred posts on here at some point, Just to show 42 that he has less control then he thinks haha

 

 

"by Lionel23"

Well, now that I've made this response post and taken away your reason for holding back, I'm a bit scared of what's going to happen...

 

Also, are those deer ponies? I love seeing all sorts of different pony races interacting like this! +4 points!

Don't study to hard my friend or the stress will overcome you....

 

 

"by Aurarrius"

Study? Study can never stress me out! Well, mostly... I'm studying maths and physics because I find them very interesting, but all areas of study out there have their tedious parts. But I don't feel I'm at risk of burning out from stress yet.

 

Twilight with books is too cute. +3 points!

Stress? Look at her, she's clearly having the time of her life right now.

Exactly! That's me when I'm studying! Except for those rare tedious parts.

 

 

14

 

 

Good... All I know how to do is pain... Not pleasure. I was afraid. 

That is exactly the kind of creepy friendliness I like to see in my allies! Not so much in my enemies, though... This is exactly why you're the horrific pony here.

 

 

15

 

That's adorable and creepy at the same time

You...

I like you!

I see we're in agreement that friendly creepiness is something to like someone for. Except in your case, she actually is your ally...

Imagine your avatar saying all these things makes everything more enjoyable

This is exactly why I find red pegasi so scary these days.

 

 

Come on pal I can't hold back this count forever haha I'm running out of thing's to smash ¦)

 

 

"by uotapo"

You were smashing watermelons with a giant hammer to hold back the need to count? Well, if it works for you, that's great. Celestia covered in watermelon while holding a giant hammer is simultaneously funny and scary, so I give it +1 for the funny and +1 for the scary!

*reappears* Hey now, at this rate I'll lose my place in the lead. This isn't allowed, it's time for a nice storm of chaos to set things right again. LET THE ENTROPY REIGN!!!

 

 

That is indeed true! However, this 'relate current number to 42' trend has gone on for a little while now, so I am now awarding +2 points for this one.

Hmm, time to be more creative then. Did you know that 10 in binary is 1010, 2 10s in a row, and if you add the original 10 on you get 101010, convert that back to decimal and you have 42.

By the way 42, I do intend to use these coupons. I'm just waiting for the right time and place to sew as much chaos as possible. For the 42 empire? No. For those trying to bring you down? Nope. I bring chaos for chaos's sake! To quote a wise man, "He would see this country burn if he could be king of the ashes." Just replace 'he' with 'I' and replace 'country' with 'world'.

 

As proof I'll use these things, have one right now. I'll use one to take the current count down by 2, from 1 to -1, arming the first disarmed trap and creating matter from nothing to make the additional trap.

 

Current count: -1

Wait, is there some kind of incident happening among yourselves stopping you from counting that I don't know about? How have I never heard of it yet? And why are your self-inflicted slow-downs much more effective than all the slow-downs I try to cause?

Yes and no...think of it like the calm before the storm pal...there is something big coming and I have asked those that follow me to show some restraint for now haha and when it does me and my General's (I am actually getting people on here pal,not just role playing) will take this post right to 1764 in less then a day (maximum estimated speed assuming no one slow's down and there is no complications should be just over 7 hour but that is unlikely) but we have to wait for the perfect time, where everyone who agreed is on and know's what time they need to change shift haha oh and on top of that I do know of some loop hole's that will make this very hard to stop so I would recommend trying to find out what they are and fix them before this take's place haha

 

Wait, what is this? A creepy pony song video? That's what Cinnamon does! Don't tell me you're going to try to spook me with creepy pony song videos too now!

that's not spooky pal haha I could show you real creepy if you like though I will have to hide it in many spoiler's haha

 

And +3 points for a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy reference!

that's quite funny pal as this plan i'm making has been called "project Deep thought" (and you may be able to find something about it if you look pal very little of it was said in private message ¦)

 

S-S-Sweetie Bot? Okay, okay, I promise to help you, just please keep all your lasers well away from me!

she's not that bad when I tell her not to attack pal and she would say thank's but she's in sleep mode now that you plugged her in ¦)

I just thought it would make things a little different since we are on page 1133 and it's not like you can't remove it if it become's a problem, I think I will hold on to my coupon's until I know the verdict.

 

"by HowXu"

 

Unfortunately, I didn't get that reference you made,

you really should watch it pal it's hilarious Warning vile language:

 

 

Zebras always inspire such awesome art! +2 points for that piece!

yes and Zecora has probably the best art in my opinion 

"by Alasou"

 

If you made a good one, it would probably earn you lots of 42 points!

Alot of points you say, Challenge accepted ¦)

 

Bare with me on this I have to make it with both you and MLP related haha so here goes...

 

1:Twilight sparkle's cutie mark has 6 star's each with 6 points and an additional 6 point's on the one in the middle. that is 666 which is the number of the devil and the Illuminati was founded be a Faustian (someone who made a deal with the devil is called a Faustian by the way just thought I should tell you about that little coincidence) so by this logic Twilight=Illuminati 

 

2:In the running of the leaves Twilight's number just so happened to be 42 and in addition there is also 42 points in total on her Cutie mark. thus Twilight=42

 

So If Twilight is both 42 and part of the Illuminati then 42=Illuminati 

 

Illuminati Confirmed

 

Maybe I need to write a newbie's guide for this place? Now that I think about it, there are all kinds of rules and quirks here that I haven't written down on the first post. Especially since, if everything goes well with the 42 coupons, the rules here will change and become a bit more complicated. Also, explicitly pointing out and fixing loopholes is going to be very important too.

Wait? anyone else corrects something minor and you throw points at them and I correct a major flaw that could destroy this entire thread yet I don't even get a single point.....(I mean I know I need to have some kind of handicap but that is ridicules) 

 

Also, are those deer ponies? I love seeing all sorts of different pony races interacting like this! +4 points!

Deer ponies are cool haha

Where's the chaos if everything I say makes sense? I'd love them to have a value, but that value isn't high enough unless it's too high to be obtained. Why does a dragon hoard its gold? Is it to trade for items it desires or is it to lure in the greedy unsuspecting adventurers in order to crush their dreams, devour their souls, and use this newly gained soul essence to create a gateway into another dimension to wreak chaotic havoc upon? Oh wait, that's not a dragon, that's me. Ahem, anyway. *whistles nonchalantly*

If you remove the memories that make you who you are you will be nothing but a husk of your formal self with an unending desire to find out who you really are.

This is an intriguing prospect indeed, however with my luck I would never win any wager. And if the bet were related to something on the forums then you have a distinct advantage, having been around here far longer than me. Still, worth considering.

Interesting indeed. What did you have in mind? A game between the two of us or betting on the winner of game between other people? The former is much more exciting. Seeing as you're the one calling for this battle, name your game or name who you'd like to choose the game for us.

I'd prefer a game between us as I like to be the reason I win or fail so I cant blame anyone else but as I am the master of most games I will leave the choice to you ¦)

 

I would prefer a game like chess or some sort of card game, or if you want a game on steam then I can send you my profile name and you can see what I have, Or if you want to play a game on the forum then the only ones I can think of are "Tic Tac Toe" or "connect four"....you choice pal as I don't really mind if I win or loose ¦)

Seems unfair for either of us to pick the game, so how about we let someone else decide for us. Perhaps someone on this thread. Yes I'm talking about you, person who is reading this post right now and thinking "Is he talking about me?"
