I’ve decided it’s time for me to open up our celebrations of when members reach new Forum ranks. From about last November till quite recently, promotions got celebrated when I got around to sending out invitations by PM to “gala receptions” in the Forum Lounge (which is lovely, though alas, still only virtual).
But in true SSSS Fan-Forum style (which is all about being energetic, creative, and mutually supportive), some of you have started celebrating on your own initiative.
Meanwhile, everyone’s post counts are growing so fast that I’m not sure I can dish out the recognitions fast enough! So I need to stop monopolizing the job of honoring new ranks and open it up to all of you.
But before I hand over the microphone, let me present to you a new Ranger, a Scout, and multiple new citizens.
Since Mélusine joined us two months ago, we’ve had the pleasure of watching her talents and self-confidence unfold, in General Discussion, the book threads, the Comfort Corner, (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=384.msg34860#msg34860) and the Little Moments of Happiness thread, (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=474.0) her gift to us.
Our new Ranger hails from France and is an art historian and medievalist by training. (Watch it, trolls, she knows how to make a trebuchet!) Moreover, she is writing a novel that sounds fantastic (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=474.msg39086#msg39086). (Even if the publishers don’t rush to buy the rights, she can always self-publish like the author of “The Martian” (http://www.ew.com/article/2014/11/05/andy-weir-the-martian-author) and Our Dear Creator.) Currently, she’s helping to draw up exciting scout missions for our Self-Insert crews.
Although Mélusine is quite shy and self-effacing, she sings and plays the medieval harp, which means she really is the Beautiful Melusina (a mermaid) that Mendelssohn wrote music for (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKzV3kK4a0M).
RandomTexanReader, our new Scout, joined on April 1, which in some ways symbolizes her gift for inspired fooling. She recently was dubbed “Forum Prophet” due to almost scary abilities to predict (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=64.msg39671#msg39671) new developments in the comic.
Her SSSSona is also prophetic… sort of (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=359.msg40362#msg40362)…
RTR created a thread, Family Headcanons, which fills in the background of our beloved characters, e.g. Emil (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=448.msg39848#msg39848) And the Hotakainens (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=35.msg37873#msg37873)… and Sigrun (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=448.msg37601#msg37601)…
AND a hilarious thread all about Mikkel and the things he is not allowed to do on duty: (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=451.0)
She also crafted marvelous fanvideos (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=468.msg37899#msg37899) for every major character in SSSS – even the Cattank! https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=8dbca6c160c5f025&id=8dbca6c160c5f025%21236&ithint=video,mp4&authkey=!APDB4LgrJiYbuJw
We also welcome at least five new citizens to the Forum.
FeartheViolas hit Citizen a couple of weeks ago and I’m afraid I forgot to include her in the last promotion ceremony. She is a West Icelander from Canada with an amazing grasp of rune magic (and beautiful calligraphy to depict it in). She speaks multiple languages (including nearly everything from Scandinavia and the World). Notable achievements include our new Book Club thread.
As FTV pointed out, you know you're an SSSS addict...

She had a moving tribute to this Forum:
Quote
I just wanted to say that you guys are awesome because of how maturely these kinds of discussions are handled. It amazes me because I've seen similar conversations that have gone downhill really quickly (partially why I've never joined an online community before) and here people are just really civil about it and it just makes me happy to see that. Especially when you have people communicating somewhat anonymously from all different ages and countries.
People here are helping each other out and talking about things in non-condescending respectful ways and it just gives me so much hope for humanity. So, my thanks to everyone. This is the best.
Dane Murgen is multi-lingual and a talented musician/composer. (Here’s his theme for Icelandic magic in “SSSS: the Musical!” https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=58.msg22707#msg22707
He has one of the most interesting Self-Inserts (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=359.msg25826#msg25826), one of Iceland’s Filipino community.
He’s already taken up the recruiting challenge, signing up his friend VincentTheSheep. He also launched the Academic Help thread (from which we’ve all learned something about Finland’s Winter War) (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=438.msg35363#msg35363).
Chizu is originally from Bulgaria, now studying psychology in the U.K., and can bring plenty of scientific background to bear on everything from cat genetics (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=347.msg32160#msg32160) to fire suppression.
A friend of Koeshi, they’re fond of anime, potatoes, RPGs, sketching, and medieval weaponry. Chizu also has lots of worthwhile recommendations in the book threads. And as a tea drinker, (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=5.msg30497#msg30497) they're a person after my own heart!
Emil joined less than 4 weeks ago – but as a friend of Haiz, it’s probably not surprising he reached Citizen so quickly. In his own words:
I'm the stereotypical norwegian nerd, and I like cats. Maybe that's why I like this comic?
He also enjoys video games. Emil recently got a job at an after-school-care program, so now we can picture him just like his namesake (picture courtesy of the late, lamented Miss Honeyham):
(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-I7nkK_V-M3w/VC4-IIPKqlI/AAAAAAAACrs/5mzj0u5_Jnc/s1600/fanart4FIN.png)
Please assemble in the Forum Lounge for a gala reception featuring sparkling cider, champagne, milk, peach juice, and the now-traditional coffee and cake. The Ranger survival tool and shoulder braid, Scout whistle and insignia, and Citizenship certificates will also be presented.
I hope you will enjoy using this thread to observe and celebrate one anothers' milestones on the Forum. I strongly suspect at least one more honoree is due here...
Hi, wavewright62 here! In the intervening years since Sunflower posted this, we've had far more than one more honoree on this board. When this thread was created, we had yet to honour Fimbulvarg as our first Admiral of a Sunken Ship, and as at September 2017 we have yet to have anyone breach 5000 posts for the next level, although there are a few who may get there before the end of the year. In honour of the third anniversary of the Forum, I have compiled a

(But unfortunately I don't have played harp since too many years now. One day, maybe, I hope I'll have my own with enough time and money to really learn because it was marvelous to play.) Thank to be so friendly :) *Hug* (You deserve more hugs. I hope you're ok with hugs ^^°)

There is a fifth realm beyond that which is known to man. It is a realm as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between humanity and the rash, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears, and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call ... The Safe Zone.
Welcome!

Aw, don't be embarrassed! I only know about airports because my father was in the military when I was a child, so we moved a lot, and our relatives were scattered all over the U.S.Thank, but before I have an important question : how many abandoned castles or other places may I have for an abandoned airport ? :D
I have a couple of suggestions for you, based on your antiquarian interests. (The airport awarded at 1,000 posts doesn't *have* to be derelict IRL; we assume it will be by Y90.)
1. Le Bourget, near Paris (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/A%C3%A9roport_de_Paris-Le_Bourget) -- the historic airfield where Charles Lindbergh landed, among others.
2. One of these: "14 of the world's most amazing abandoned airports" (http://www.skyscanner.net/news/14-worlds-most-amazing-abandoned-airports)(except JoB has already claimed Berlin-Tempelhof"
3. "Abandoned airports around the world" - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/europe/uk/10858233/Abandoned-airports-around-the-world.html
And félicitations!
(Berlin-Tempelhof would be perfect to... well, forget that, finding persons to dance will be difficult in the Silent Lands.)

Hmmm. A request for something other than a derelict airport as reward for reaching 1,000 posts? That's... non-standard. You sure I can't interest you in Derelict Euro-Disney? (Mulls it over.)
All right. You may choose an abandoned castle or other historical site, not necessarily incorporating now-ruined technology that starkly illustrates the scientific hubris of the immediately pre-Rash Old World.
I only ask that you choose something awesome. (And where you can wear that ethereal white dress...)

(Mulls it over.)What could I do in an airport when I would have so many to explore in an old building ? :D (Airports are not enough old for me. And, errrrrrr, I don't understand why so many persons love Euro-Disney. Sorry. I must have missed something during my childhood, when every children wanted to go there. I went for the first time last month, not inside but to the Disney village. Too many persons, can we go now please ?) Thanks ^^

Well, as many as you'd like I suppose? But I doubt they'll be handing out custom titles.
Post by: Sunflower on July 15, 2015, 05:16:00 PM
I was just thinking that Eich's original choice of Ruler of a Derelict Airport has a specifically post-apocalyptic grandeur -- seeing a peak achievement of 20th/21st-C. science/engineering in ruins. That's why I suggested Euro-Disney or something like the Science City in Valencia, Spain (http://www.dezeen.com/2015/05/21/calatrava-city-of-arts-sciences-valencia-tomorrowland-george-clooney-brad-bird/) that doubled as "Tomorrowland" in the recent movie. But I wasn't entirely serious.
You're perfectly free to choose whatever appeals to you, however medieval or even older it may be. But I love the "Passage" in Nantes. Still great troll habitat, but aesthetically and culturally much more your style.
This applies to the rest of you future Rulers, too. Get postin', and you too can pick out a troll-infested monument of Old World hubris for your very own! 8) (Meanwhile, I've got my sights on the U.S.S. Arizona, when I reach the level of Admiral of a Sunken Ship.)

Too many persons, can we go now please ?) Thanks ^^
Weeeeeeell, what could I have ? Something with a glass roof, maybe.(The Grand Palais ? Mmmh, too big maybe... but an airport is huge too...)Early XX would be nice. And I would put a library inside somewhere. With armchairs. Mmmh. Time to look for more abandoned castles and/or awesome places :D

Congrats Mel! That makes you the 12th person to make the 1,000 posts threshold.
Well, as many as you'd like I suppose? But I doubt they'll be handing out custom titles.
As Forum-Skald and founder of the Promotion Celebrations, here's my ruling:
The title stays the same. However, I won't be picky about the actual monument/territory chosen in lieu of a literal airport. (Or Eich couldn't really have the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, Florida.)
The new ruler is still liable for cleaning out and maintaining his/her/zeir new property in visitable fashion. (C'mon, a post-apocalyptic warlord has to be good for something.)

Viola, congratulations on the promotion.
On behalf of the Forum Council of Elders, let me formally present you with the keys of Toronto Pearson International Airport -- in the Old Times, Canada's largest and busiest airport, and named after honored statesman Lester Pearson. (Background on "Mike" Pearson by the brilliant Kate Beaton: http://www.harkavagrant.com/index.php?id=294)
Fimbulvarg has set a great example of... er... hands-on property management. (Cf. "twirls machete, makes it all shipshape and Bristol-fashion"... and "ride all the luggage carrousels and loot the duty-free liquor and Toblerone.") Go thou and do likewise.
Mélusine, last I heard you were hesitating between the Louvre and that awesome 19th-century "Passage" in Normandy. Have you made a choice?

I'll have to prepare one. For the longest time, promotion records only existed in my hoard of PM's, then in random posts throughout the Forum, and I need to fix that. It's just... (mumbles incoherently about Poor Neglected Responsibilities, procrastination, etc. etc.)

Actually, it's part of my self-promotion. I can't spend so much of my time hanging out with mighty mages, fearless troll-punchers, Forum-coding HTML wizards and the like, without wanting to engage in my own Nordic saga-esque bragging. As I did recently on another thread: (And yeah, this is basically Bilbo the Hobbit foolhardily boasting to Smaug the Dragon...)

Technically, sunken ships are all those completely supported by land, i.e., the seabed. Thus, beached vessels should count as well. ;D

(I actually would have preferred to keep "Forum-Skald," but you don't refuse the title that goes along with the honorable role of Content Moderator.) My father is a retired US Navy officer, so I'm tickled by the prospect of being promoted to Admiral.
If I tell you all to prepare to travel to Honolulu, Hawaii (where I spent much of my childhood), for the celebrations will that give you an idea of which Sunken Ship I intend to be the Admiral of? No? What if I say Pearl Harbor?

BTW, Fimby, I don't think we ever got a definitive answer on your choice of Sunken Ship.

Hee, hee. How about "Lord/Lady of the One Ring." Can't you picture me as Galadriel?
“And now at last it comes. You will give me the Ring freely! In place of the Dark Lord you will set up a Queen. And I shall not be dark, but beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night! Fair as the Sea and the Sun and the Snow upon the Mountain! Dreadful as the Storm and the Lightning! Stronger than the foundations of the earth. All shall love me and despair!”
She lifted up her hand and from the ring that she wore there issued a great light that illuminated her alone and left all else dark. She stood before Frodo seeming now tall beyond measurement, and beautiful beyond enduring, terrible and worshipful.
Then she let her hand fall, and the light faded, and suddenly she laughed again, and lo! she was shrunken: a slender elf-woman, clad in simple white, whose gentle voice was soft and sad.

Don't you worry, even without the rash we'll have enough derelict airports for every single german in here XDThere's no lack of airports in central Europe that were erected in hopes that some low-cost airline would HQ there and magically make a metric ton of flights appear there. (Frankfurt-Hahn, anyone?) That's part of why BER is so special that I chose it - it actually has all those flights waiting for it to finally become flight-worthy, instead of the other way 'round!

Ceremoniously presents Curry with the keys to MCO (http://www.orlandoairports.net/) and drapes the sash of office over their right shoulder.
Welcome to the cadre of Rulers of a Derelict Airport, Curry. Use your new power-base wisely. (Can I ride on the airplane-evacuation slides when you figure how to reinflate them?)

Yes, absolutely. I wouldn't give up the Googleport for anything. ;D

I think it's safe to assume Værnes is derelict by year 90. Still, I like your logic there (I mean, most actual battleships are so deep down they might as well be in space).

Confetti shaped like the Icelandic letters þ and ð. It came about one day when my friend figured out how to type þ and ð on her computer keyboard. She was very excited and sent me a text, to which I replied *þ and ð shaped confetti* and then after that I just kept using it whenever exciting things happened. I brought it to the forum, and it's kind of ended up being a thing I do for people when they get promoted. So yep. That is the story, for you and anyone else who was curious :)

Hmm... Ana, how did you do this? I can't find hearts or squirrels anywhere. D:
in the improvements thread:
Sooo now I don't have to disturb Eich with smiley stuff every time. And that means... smileys!
- Added the flags of New Zealand and the Philippines, codes are :philippines: and :newzealand: respectively. :philippines: :newzealand: :philippines: :newzealand: :philippines: :newzealand:
- Added a heart emoji: <3 Code is <3
- Added the squirrel cookie emoji: :squirrelcookie: Code is :squirrelcookie:
- I'm also planning to add the SSSS crew themed smileys (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=35.msg20742#msg20742), but codes need to be decided for those first, I would like to make them more specific than :lalli: :sigrun: etc., to avoid any confusion in case more SSSSmileys of the same character appeared some time in the future.
And congratulations to Eriaror!

It was the greatest non-race to watch, and it it seems like you finished with kind of a draw anyway.
Oh man, I imagined what would happen if Haiz and Piney got only one ship to be admirals of because they ranked up at the same time...

I picked a ship my ship a while ago:

Hurtigruten is an uh... fleet? of fancy boats that travel along the norwegian coast, mostly for touristing purposes. This one (http://www.hurtigruten.com/uk/Travel-planner/Ships/Hurtigrutens-Ships/MS-Nordkapp/?tab=facts) I'm sure has stopped in Trondheim many times, and it goes to Nordkapp - the North Cape, northernmost point of the entire europe mainland, and close to the place where I was born. It was also constructed in '96 and I'm born in '95 so I feel like I have a connection with this ship I guess?? OH AND it's 'godmother' is Queen Sonja and my mother is named Sonja, too! WHAT COINCIDENCES
My backstory for this is also that it was kinda sunken when I found it and I, as a mighty airport ruler, found the resources to fish it up, and then get it all refurnished and viking'd befit an admiral such as I am now!

I choose this ship (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightship_Finngrundet_%281903%29); it doubles as a lighthouse and also looks like one and how cool is that :D
(And it's Swedish, which fits with my 'sona's heritage)

Yay Gwenno! Congrats!Yayyyy Starfallz ^_^ Thank you so much!
Oh hey, not to overlook your promotion to Scout as well. I always look forward to your posts, Gwenno. Having enjoyed your beautiful rendition of "Calon Lan," I'm now listening to a choir version of it on YouTube.:3 *d'aaaaw, thank you so much Sunflower ^_^ Your posts always seem to make people either happy or better informed, usually both, and this is no exception because now I'm happy ;D (Also, yisssssss, my plan to spread all the Welsh music is working "bwahahahahaha" *laughs for 20 minutes before realising that everyone has already escaped*)
Congrats, Gwenno and Amity! :DThank you misea :3 (also my spellcheck keeps on trying to change your name to "mice" grrrrrrrr! >"< )
Congrats to both of you! Something something turtle wins the race because the rabbit passed out from anemia or something.Thank you ^_^ "Something something turtle is a vampire and has been secretly draining the rabbit of blood in preparation for the race and also has a jet pack in its shell?" Pretty sure that's the version of the story I'd heard......
Here's my 2¢ worth of congratulations!That's sweet money sorted for the week then :P Thank you!
;D 8) ;D
Oh, sorry Gwenno, congratulations to you too :) A cup of tea ?Ah, actually it looks like you did congratulate me before but I was bad and didn't see sorry! >"< Tea is much appreciated however :D Haha, to think, we managed to get safe zone citizenship on the same day, you seem to have passed me by quite a bit now :P
Also, CONGRATS AMITY! Isn't that a great way to get your scouting rank

Mélusine, this is the internet. People of your caliber and thoughtfulness cannot possibly speak too much here. Please don't stop. (Except maybe to breathe.)
And thank you Sunflower and everyone else for such a great celebration! I totally forgot I was about to become a scout, so it was a lovely surprise! Even though I am still finding a stray confetto here and there.
And most of all congratulations Gwenno! I think this means we are scout siblings or something. Classmates?

Congrats! We, or rather Sunflower, don't use PM promotion ceremonies anymore. I found it in my inbox though, maybe you'll find it nostalgic (although it was just 4 months ago)
7. KauniitaUnia became a Citizen while I was writing this message, so I’d better hustle!
A keen artist, her works include an adorable sketch of the crew as Easter bunnies, perfectly in character. https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=35.msg26218#msg26218
She provides the valuable service of compiling and updating the Self-Insert thread’s Infodump, the central source of information about each participant’s character. IRL, she recently completed a long, grueling hike for the Duke of Edinburgh’s award – which, since I'm a confirmed couch potato, impresses me.

However, it seems that my intuition was right, and please allow me to purge the delusion from anyone who still thinks that us Germans are all born organizers and Always_Have_A_Plan (tm): Only one week or so after it was found that some of the ventilators built into the halls' celings are twice as heavy as the statics would allow (http://www.rbb-online.de/politik/Flughafen-BER/BER-Aktuelles/akteure_aktuell/teile-des-ber-terminals-wegen-statikproblemen-gesperrt.html), the newest finding is that some 600 fireproof walls fail to be fireproof due to improper material being used (http://www.rbb-online.de/politik/Flughafen-BER/BER-Aktuelles/akteure_aktuell/600-brandschutzwaende-muessen-neu-gebaut-werden.html), necessitating them to get knocked down and built anew.
Requests from some second-row politicians to have the whole thing razed and rebuilt from scratch were met with conspicuously prompt claims from the first row that nobody involved considers that an option ....... hardy har. 8)

Congratulations to Unwary, who reached Scout level over the weekend. Among other things, he's the master of interactive fiction, leading a creative writing circle, and (like many of us) pursuing an impressive range of hobbies. Let's raise a toast -- the matter-synthesizing food and drink dispensers in his Shared Story provide free drinks! 8)

Congrats yo, you're airport ruler no. 15. I think I chose Paris airport, and I remember Værnes and Keflarvik being occupied.
Post by: Sunflower on October 04, 2015, 04:10:50 PM
Just to make the checking easier Helsinki-Vantaa was for me I guess, since no one's ever spoken against my claim. :D
Thanks for the update! Viola had YYZ (Toronto), Haiz had (I believe) Hell airport in Norway (I know it's coded something else and ze did an awesome picture), Eich chose IIRC the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Fimby -- was it Charles de Gaulle in Paris you planned to loot and then reform?

Unfortunately I have too many Poor Neglected Responsibilities to properly do a confetti button right now (I only can add it everywhere or nowhere easily), so until I come up with something better, I might as well direct you to the now not-so-secret confetti test page (https://ssssforum.com/thingies/confetti.html). ;)

Is Logan International Airport in Boston taken? It's got flights to Reykjavík, that could be useful...

For the record, I chose LaGuardia Airport in NY.

Central Terminal at LGA is depressing enough to be a derelict airport already. (The Delta terminal isn't too bad, though)

Hmmm, well it looks like Logan isn't taken (unless Mélusine, Nimphy, Solovei, or kjeks has it). I stake my claim there!
I claimed Kassel-Calden as it is a derelict airport already XD

You've also got very good taste in mythology! Saraswati suits you, I think. (does this mean you're going to have to take up the lute?)

Looks like they've set up GeoIP filtering (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geolocation). They have only flights to and from other U.S. airports (and a license covering military transit flights (http://worldaerodata.com/wad.cgi?id=US92186&sch=KLEX)), but with hubs like O'Hare, LaGuardia etc. among those, I wouldn't be surprised to see people planning flights involving LEX from abroad ...

Also, it somehow slipped past me that Sc0ut became a Scout a few weeks ago -- in fact, with a post about their marvelous art for the Forum Advent Calendar on Dec. 7! https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=736.msg82139#msg82139
Let's offer them both our hearty congratulations!

What airport did you choose?I see someone else very close to his own airport...
Post by: Róisín on January 19, 2016, 10:01:21 AM
Airport hmm....can I have Giles? If the place isn't claimed already? It's an airstrip rather than an airport as such, but there's radio in the Gentlemens' Club, and murals painted by Len Beadell himself. I have been in a plane that landed on the airstrip/driveway, which was a little alarming because kangaroos. At least it wasn't camels!
Derelict enough it certainly is, when I was last there the population was 5, but I believe it is now down to 3. Giles is the most isolated community in Australia, and one of my favourite places in the world. And it has what's left of a Blue Streak rocket in the yard. Woomera used to land them in the desert. Wonderful place.

I seem to have a sunken ship of my own now, so it's only proper I claim Ormen Lange (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ormen_Lange_%28longship%29) (= The Long Serpent). I haven't found any accounts to whether it ever actually sunk but I'm going by the logic that you don't see many Medieval longships floating about today.

Quote from: Laufey
Haltija were guardian spirits that held special ownership over the place, area, house or person they guarded, and to this day the word has a double meaning "owner/guardian spirit". Knowing my former countrymen there may also be some discussion on the correct spelling of the word, so in advance both forms haltija and haltia are correct. The latter in fact more often means a Tolkien elf due to the Finnish translation using that spelling to differentiate them from haltija.

I think that I'll probably be a scout for awhile since it sounds like my favorite, and I spend much more time on IRC chat than I do here, but I must admit that I was quite excited as I saw myself drawing closer to 250 posts.

I am now happily a scout! What a joy to achieve scouthood alongside Jhev, (seriously Jhev, you're a total sweetheart and oh my gosh we definitely need to get to know each other better) and IKEA!

Congrats on achieving scout status ! Mine came and went too quickly and I'm a bit sad it was so short lived considering it was my favorite rank too :c cherish it while it lasts !
Hmmm I hear about so much fun stuff going on in chat but I've never actually participated in it, I should probably drop in one of these days ! (except I'm not even entirely sure where this 'chat' is)

Oh, Juniper, chat is a most delightful place and we'd love to have you! visit: http://www.webchat.quakenet.org and choose the nick you'd like (I recommend Juniper, since that's how we'd know you), for channels type #ssss and then click join!
And thanks for the well wishes, Juni, Tr, Mélu and Róisín!

You know, I actually noticed the exact post that pushed you from 999 to 1000 posts (I don't remember what it was but I remember noticing it !) but didn't say anything because again, it was in the middle of nasty drama so I kind of just kept it to myself like "oh hey that's neat Lazy8 just got an airport, I wonder if Lazy8 noticed" but now I suppose I can officially congratulate you !

"Going fast, getcher airports here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankfurt%E2%80%93Hahn_Airport), we'll gladly take a Brooklyn Bridge for payment ..."
Hmm...I can't really offer up the Brooklyn bridge (I feel like the NYC folks have prior claim) but I do live in a city known for its bridges (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridges_of_Pittsburgh). Maybe one of those would do instead?
(Also...I don't suppose anyone has made a list of which airports have been claimed, have they? I don't want to step on any toes, but I feel like there must be more interesting options than my local airport.)

I'm still not 100% sure which airport I want, but I'm leaning towards Seymour Airport (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seymour_Airport) in the Galápagos Islands, if no one already has that claimed. I never made it out to the Galápagos when I lived in Ecuador for a year (alas, my poor college student budget) but it seems like a cool place.
And thanks, Juniper and Róisín! I can hardly believe I've posted so much.

Thank you all, the promotion took me by surprise! If nobody else has claimed it, I claim the Mahogany Ship. I considered some of the interesting wrecks on which I have dived, but the Mahogany Ship has a place in my heart because I once saw what I'm pretty sure was part of her hull uncovered by a gale which had shifted part of the dunes. Strange and very desolately beautiful.
Yes, that is indeed your ship, so very you. Prosit!

(yes, my brother and I managed to blow the roof off our grandmother's wash-house making gunpowder).This sounds like Alfred Nobel brother's story, hopefully with a better outcome.
Post by: Róisín on August 07, 2016, 10:13:29 PM
Basse, My brother and I were two scientifically-minded children on an isolated farm. We got up to all sorts of stuff, from chemical experiments to raising birds of prey. Oh, and climbing everything - that was where I first developed a taste for free-climbing. My other sibs are all nearly a generation younger, and not so like-minded.
Fortunately for us, the farm was old enough that the laundry was in a free-standing building separate from the house, otherwise our grandmother would have been even more annoyed! I still haven't forgotten what she said when I, as a small girl, got up in the middle of the night and dismantled the grandfather clock.
What happened to Nobel's brother?

What is this I hear about airports? :3 and how do I know which ones are taken?
Take Sturup! Also known as Malmö Airport! I'm pretty sure no one has claimed it!
(I will however fight you for it once it is my turn to claim an airport (ง •̀_•́)ง But it should be a while until that happens...)
So yes, congratulations! \o/ *confetti*

Over the last few months our former scouts have become less active, and as a result we have asked Luth to join us as a skald and a representative of the younger forum members on our staff team.

Even though it's not technically a *ship*, if nobody's claimed it yet I'll go for the USS Thresher (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Thresher_(SSN-593)). I remember reading about it when I was a kid (some years after the fact; I think I was about 12 when I first read about it so that would have been in the early 1970s)

Wyrm, that's an amazing post-apoc looking building, complete with troll graffiti! Is that a swimming pool out the front?
Yes, it was apparently very popular for skateboarding - although the skaters often had to spend the first half hour clearing the latest junk out of it.
There were all kinds of rumours about the place - the silliest being that the daughter of the family drowned in the pond and her parents wasted away from grief - but apparently it was a riding school that went out of business in about 2002.
Thanks again on the congrats everyone :D

I used to think the same, I would look at all the people with so many posts and think "Wow, they're so cool, they're so involved in the community!" And now I have kinda realized thats probably how some new members look at me :o I never expected to have this many posts, but I guess I have been part of this awesome community for a while now.

Since I'm now an airport ruler, is Orly free to be claimed?
Time to reminisce now. So much has happened since I joined (I just checked: it'll be 2 years just tomorrow! what a cool coincidence). I've seen the forum grow from a small community with a few very active people, in which I was very involved (possibly too much in some areas) to a large group full of more nice people than I can count. I can't even follow most threads any more, that's how big this thing has grown :D
I remember, at about the same period last year, calculating how often I'd have to post to get my own airport by year's end and discussing post-per-day stats, with Mélusine in person and some others in the IRC chat I think. I don't ever go to the chat any more now :-[ but I know I will, someday, because it's a lot of fun. Things must have changed a lot there, too!
I've seen many things in this forum, projects, discussions, artistry, and have even been part of some. But what I've seen most of all is you people. Some of you I count as my friends, even though we may only rarely speak directly to one another, and many now, sadly, I don't know much, but I know you all to be excellent and wonderful people, nice, creative, supportive, fun. In a word, you are the most best community I know of. So thank you, forum and forumites, and minnions in general, for being such an awesome part of my life for the past two years and a thousand posts.
<3
Post by: Róisín on November 20, 2016, 10:53:58 AM
I don't know if Orly is claimed, though I am sure it would suit you well if it were not. Good luck with your new airport, whichever one you get!

Congrats on the promotion, Clayres! And thanks for reminding me of the early days, 'way back in 2014 and 2015 -- the virtual "receptions" we put on with plenty of Swedish-style coffee and cake. Alas, I'm no longer unemployed with the leisure time to do that (well, not "alas" about being a wage-earner, but I do miss having more time to spend on the Forum). Still, I'm super-pleased to see how enthusiastically Forumites celebrate one another's anniversaries... and birthdays, and moments of happiness, etc. Here's to many more!

In deference to your current location, I looked up Chinese instances of ship burials, and Wikipedia suggests only boat-shaped items. You could claim a Viking ship, though.
Also, many congratulations!

...literally the only sunken ship I know is the Titanic. History was never my strong point.
Nor mine!
(Which is why I went with a space ship ;)

Ooh, can I claim Cassini? (Not really a ship, but it's going to be about as sunk as you can get once its mission has ended...)
Edit: Or is that the one you took? If so, I'll go with the Viking landers.

I have my eye on a particular ship, but there's a long way to go before I can grab it so I'm keeping mum about it ;D

No, you're good. I chose Serenity from Firefly. :)
Very cool choice! I've been looking through the Wikipedia page, and I think that the gravitational slingshot maneuvers are just so cool!

(And I'd like to say again just how epic of a choice that was! If you hadn't taken it first I probably would have! ;))
And congratulations Lazy8! Good choice of spaceship.

Unless you mean the Lupo-class of Italian frigates, no idea.... I guess that was mean of me, if unwittingly so; no, it's a fictional one, so none of the below.

Luth is correct. I spent some time this last weekend going though it all and have it on an Excel sheet, but haven't had the time to come back and post it. Watch this space. There are only a few from before this thread existed that I don't know, and I will probably contact those folks directly.

Hahahaha, maybe, but the scariest approach for me is still into SFO, where you come down and down and down over the sea, then you're ack! just meters over the water and still going down, and then kathump! hey where did that land come from?

I have compiled the list of claimed Derelict Airports and Sunken Ships! It is appended to the bottom of Sunflower's first post on this thread, under a spolier.
And let me take this moment to applaud the newest addition to the list, none other than Gwenno, who now is invited to divulge her choice of airport! (Yes, I looked it up to see if she'd gone over the line.)

Hahah, thank you, and excellent job on your list! Gosh darn it, I was thinking of doing something cool for my airport post, I didn't realise that moving the 3rd anniversary posts to the Forum Memories thread counted as posts too :P For my airport, I think I'll take Narita (Japan), seeing as I've used that one quite a lot, and it would be nice to have more Asian airports available for out Minnions airlines ^-^

Thanks, Wavewright! That list is an impressive piece of skalding. I know we are all grateful for your hard work hunting down everyone's choices of airports and sunken ships.
When there are additions to the list, would you like to be the point person to add them, or can any of us admins/mods do that as newly promoted members announce their choices? (Or previously promoted ones remember what they chose...)

Thank you. *curtseys* It doesn't have to be me who does the updating, really, although I am happy to do so.
Speaking of the list of claimed ships, Lazy8 claimed the vessel Cassini. With Cassini's scheduled 'sinking' today (into Saturn's surface), may I be the first to console Lazy8 on its actual loss?

Hey, it looks like I do get to do the updating this time - let us all congratulate *cues applause soundtrack* OwlsG0 on the achievement of attaining your very own airport!!
Edit: going back through the posts, it looks like OwlsG0 actually attained this *record scratch sound effect* some weeks ago. *blush* Is that what you meant by asking if anybody could do the updating, Sunflower?
Aw, what the hey, *re-cues applause soundtrack* OwlsG0 can be applauded anyway, when she surfaces again!

Perhaps it should be mentioned that it's an airship, so I suppose it's not sunken at all, but crashed, on an island in the earlier chapters of the story.

An excellent choice, madame. You must be extra vigilant in cleaning out the restaurant laneways. I am told the local trolls still haunt them, offering discounts and free aperitifs to entice passersby to choose their nests

Splendid! I had to Google it, as 'County' and 'International' generally do not co-exist, but there it is. Wonderful choice!
Sometimes I think we may indeed be getting beyond that - this week's developments in Korea make me hopeful.

Funny story, Look at Google maps, the view that shows the actual satellite picture. You'll see at the northwest end of the runway a bunch of what look like chevrons. Those were the places, the pads, where they parked the active SAC planes so they could just power up and they'd be at the end of the runway ready to take off. Well right above that you'll see a road coming in from an exit on the interstate. Looking to the East you'll see another road entering what was the base area. The eastern road had an official gate and a guard. You had to show you're ID and give a reason for entering the base. There was a fence all around the base. But the western entry point from the interstate had no gate, no guard, no nuthin'. Just a break in the fence and you were in and driving past the the active planes. You could tell when they were armed as there would be soldiers with guns patrolling below them. Truly high security ;D
It was a different world, a different time.

Let us all congratulate the redoubtable thorny on achieving mastery over a derelict airport, having shared overed 1000 supportive and incisive comments! Do tell us which airport you extend your benevolent rule over, and it shall be inscribed.
Good grief, do I really have to pick one?
And if so, does it have to be in the SSSS part of the world? I have absolutely no idea which airports are there, or for that matter which of them are already claimed.
But thanks!

You don't have to, it's just for fun. Your airport can be anywhere, some people choose one close to them or that they're otherwise familiar with, some choose a famous one. A list of airports can be found on the first post of this thread (down a ways at the bottom, though). There's no hurry!

Oh OK, I'll play.
I choose the Penn Yan Airport; which a) is somewhere more or less near to me and b) would fit with a so-far-not-written-up headcanon in which there are survivors on the Keuka Lake Bluff*, who survived by walling off that piece of land (which sticks out into Keuka Lake, and has farmland and a college/nursing school for info and for dorms for refugees) and with considerable aid from Haudenosaunee ancestors and spirits, and from some mountain lions who turned out to be alive in the area after all.
The Penn Yan Airport isn't on the Bluff; but it's close enough for wintertime excursions. So having a helpful Master there might well be useful.
And congratulations current and belated to everybody on this thread which I haven't been reading before!
*note that this might not work in practice, as I'm not sure whether the lake branches are wide enough to prevent trolls from crossing; and they'd have to build miles of wall in a tearing hurry, and realize fast enough how to set up quarantine. And I doubt I'd make it there, myself.

thegreyarea made safe zone yesterday! Largely thanks to the game project where he’s been the main workforce! Welcome to safety, Grey! (Although it looks like I’ll be leaving soon again, but scouts get to return, right? Right!?)Thank you so much! Yes, I made it without being eaten or spited or scratched or... whatever! Since there's no limitations to reunions on our safe-zone I'll be hosting a virtual party with virtual drinks and virtual (but excellent) food! Everybody is virtually invited! :D
And of course scouts can go back! (says the guy that just arrived...) every higher rank comes after someone becomes a resident, so all our Rulers and Admirals are also, by default, safe-zone residents :-)

It seems a weirdly appropriate time to reach the safe zone, especially as I'm living on an island that has just severely restricted... well, everything. Anybody coming in, even from the rest of Canada, has to self-quarantine for 14 days. The ferries from Nova Scotia are limiting the number of passengers they'll carry. All non-essential businesses must close. Schools and universities closed last week. No gatherings over 10 people. So, I will take reaching the safe zone as a sign that Newfoundland will come through this okay! ^-^

You don't suck at forum (is it even possible to suck at forum?) - it's just that different people are gonna post at different paces. Anyway, you're what? 26 posts away from scout yourself? This isn't a race, anyway. And if you prefer being active in other places (like the comments) instead of the forum, or just hanging around without posting, that's fine! You don't suck. Seriously.

Post by: thegreyarea on April 27, 2020, 12:09:04 PM
Ran, I second each word Ana wrote. This is no competition. My posting rate suddenly increased a lot due to the "monopoly game" and now with the "chapter break filler", but before that I spent months barely posting at all, mainly because I feared that I would get involved and spend too much time around here. As usual, my instinct was right :) But I managed to find time to keep thing balanced (the many books in my reading list, however, disagree with that last part...)
I'm sure that we will see many great things from you, be it here, in the comments or elsewhere. And soon you will be scouting too, and we can exchange survival tips :D

And thanks everyone who congratulated me back a couple weeks ago! I guess I vanished for a bit there while I was...uh...ranging around in research papers? Yeah.
And don't worry, Ran! We all enjoy your posts as frequently or infrequently as they come, and we're happy to see you around when you do post. Plus, the Safe Zone is a pretty good place to be!

Hmm, am I missing something? The post count shows under the avatar?Yes, for each individual. But when working on a desktop, on the menu bar just under the logo, is a series of links to the messages, calendar, etc, including one for Members. I sort by Posts. (Note: this doesn't work for me when logging on mobile browser. You can see Members as an icon with a few person blobs in it, but you can't do any sorting in there.)

(Private messages are also included in the post count, therefore event organisers get a boost when sending confirmations and reminders.)Oh, nice. I need to organize some event soon.
Plus some of us have more idle time than we want, mostly while waiting hours for medical appointments or bureaucratic ones, hospital stays, waiting for people to arrive etc. The internet is very welcome at such times, also when the ‘chronic intractable pain’ thing precludes sleep. And it is good at such times to converse with Interesting folk across the world.
Ran, I also have a bad habit of forgetting to put half of what I intended to say into a post and then I often post another instead of modifying the first O:-) You have seen this on the Disqus too, where the number of posts doesn’t matter, so it’s more a habit than a strategy.It's not a question of time, I really want to post more, but I just don't have anything to say! :'( How can you guys not have that problem!? It's like I'm inherently disadvantaged...

In the beginning I also wanted to get promoted quickly but didn´t want to make posts where I had nothing good to contribute, but when I was at about 20 I thought "Oh well, this probably won´t be happening anytime soon anyway, I´ll be lucky if I ever reach the safe zone." and decided to just give up on that and return to lurking. Yeah, and then the chapter break happened... And I looked at the count afterwards and it was at about 90... I honestly don´t know either how that happened.

Just a couple minutes ago, I've deleted a decently long post wrote in the literature thread. You know why? Because I was too scared to post it. Because I was uncomfortable with putting my opinion out for everybody to see. Because I may be among friends here, but I sure don't feel like it. So maybe you're right and this isn't a competition. But perhaps if I posted more, if I was keeping up, I'd be able to close the gap somehow. I don't see that ever happening, though. It's like everybody's getting further and further away while I remain stuck in place.

Don't apologize, talk about it if you want to!
And I talk too much. Or at any rate I talk a lot. People have to tell me to shut up sometimes. And some of my most favorite people hardly talk at all.

Regarding Disqus, though, I'd like to note that I came to SSSS with a headstart of 2000+ comments elsewhere, so it isn't really a fair comparison at all. And I don't really contribute that much. I don't even read most of the comments. It's true that my tenure as the vote officer (as Jitter nicely dubbed it) has given me way more recognition that I'd otherwise be able to acquire in my relatively short time of Minnionship, but you're overestimating my overall input here.

At least for me, when I post in the comment section, I don’t use a disqus account, so if/when I decide to find comments that I’ve made to see if anyone’s replied, I usually get sidetracked by other conversations going on and end up reading or skimming through those threads on the way.
Plus if you get to the page early, leave for a while, then come back to check on the comments section, you can read through all the comments in chunks, which make it easier to read through the entire thing, provided you have the free time to do so.
Also congrats to Mirasol for reaching Safe Zone :)

Yeah. Never mind time, how do you all get the energy to write that many posts? How do you get over the "I don't have anything interesting to say" hurdle?I think that depends on how much involved you get in the discussions. I had just a few posts when the "SSSS monopoly game" thread begun, out of an edit and people jumping on the train... suddenly we were talking a lot, and then you notice another topic and so on... The interesting things to say kind of begins in a natural and gradual form, when you start realizing that the people hanging around here are great and kind, so one can speak with friends (and without fear of being trolled...) :)
That's another thing I wondered about! When I read SSSS, there are sometimes a few hundred comments already. How do you people manage that? I don't have the energy or concentration required for all of that, even if today I would've had the time.I keep dropping by from time to time during the day, whenever I make a break. But if you don't feel like doing that (whatever the reason) you can just sort comments by "best", which means "most upvoted" and will get a good picture of it. :)
I always use a Disqus account because I find really useful to be notified when people reply to something I wrote without having to scroll down and down and down... :)

Nobody's getting further away, it's just a measure of verbosity. You're right here with the rest of us, I imagine you laughing or shaking your head or asking yourself where all this creativity comes from, and chipping in when you have something to say. I don't post a whole lot, but I certainly don't feel like I'm behind. It's exactly like irl conversation among good friends - some won't shut up, others hardly speak, but all are valued!

I don't have the energy or concentration required for all of that, even if today I would've had the time."A few hundred"? There are 125 on the current page right now, and 221 on the previous one. Disqus serves websites that run into the five digits on daily-or-even-more-frequent pages, I'm wondering how anyone stays on top of that hailstorm! (Possibly with lots of blacklisting other commenters. The tune on those pages seems to often be abrasive.)
As someone who does not use a Disqus-or-its-auth-providers login, I keep pages - guess which ones usually, from the first line ;) - open in browser tabs and gamble on Disqus' JavaScript "new replies" mechanism to point out the comments I have not yet seen to me being in a good mood. There's a lot of skimming going on, I admit. Control-F is your friend ...

But if you don't read all the comments, how do you know there isn't already a comment (or several ones, even) saying what you're planning to say? I wouldn't want to add to the clutter with double comments.
I can't do that during work, and if I haven't had time for SSSS during breakfast I won't even get to read it until the evening. (Yes, I realise Tuesday's page has been posted by now, but if I didn't have today and tomorrow (Monday and Tuesday) off, I would've been, should've been in bed hours ago.)
Like you, I often don't get to SSSS until late in the day, by which time there are waaaay too many comments to read. As a result, I often don't post anything at all, because it's all been said. I'm more likely to respond to existing comments. And if someone responds to a post with "Drink!" it may be because it's something that's already been noted umpteen times already - so if that's what you were about to say, don't! ;)
Life's too short to worry about reading all the comments on a webcomic. Some pages generate especially interesting discussions, those get up-voted and are easy to find, the rest is ephemera. Satisfying in the moment, but no great tragedy if you miss it.

Grey, yeah I suppose, but I hear the fancy dinner room has a new cook! His name’s Madsen. Maybe one day we grunts get something decent to eat.Maybe. I've heard that he makes some kind of special soup with a secret ingredient... We must try! :D
No relation to the bloke who designed the eponymous weapon? It could give the AK-47 a run for its money WRT time in service...Who knows? Maybe our new cook has, after all, a looong family relation with the military, including a former Denmark Defense Minister! Beside the special soup I've also heard that he's full of secrets and seems to always know more than he tells...
We should try asking that tall redhead. They were enjoying a quite lengthy conversation the other day... ;)

Grey, yeah I suppose, but I hear the fancy dinner room has a new cook! His name’s Madsen. Maybe one day we grunts get something decent to eat.
Maybe. I've heard that he makes some kind of special soup with a secret ingredient... We must try! :D
I've heard of a candlelight dinner but this is ridiculous...

Up to you now to deal with the bear problem, eh?
Post by: Jitter on October 10, 2020, 04:31:51 PM
Fear not, I have been tinkering with an old jet engine I found in the hangar. That bird won’t ever fly again, but the engine will be an interesting surprise for the bears, if they ever venture into my realm again!
Post by: thegreyarea on October 10, 2020, 05:57:00 PM
Ruling your own airport, and of course the Joensuu one! Wonderful choice!
Now I'm curious if your plan with the jet engine includes sucking the bears or pushing them...
Anyway I'm keeping a good distance from the hangar when I get there for the party. :)
BTW I may be a bit late, but I want also to congratulate our esteemed bard :sparkle:corncobman :sparkle:, that had also conquered one (yet to be disclosed) airport, back in March!

The bears will be sucked in* and shredded. Any non-immunes are strictly prohibited from ever approaching the engine, as the remains will be disposed of simultaneously to the shredding! Resulting in a brief moment of disgusting, infectious confetti**!
* yes, just like in the opening of Lost. That was a memorable scene! If only the series had been too.

Thank you all!Hey, another one that was "infected" by Lost's excellent pilot! I waited eagerly each episode during the first season, but left after the beginning of the second one when I realized that the producers were getting... lost. :)

I tried to see some random episodes after that, but then so many crazy things happened that I became the lost one.
Now I'm curious to see what your imagination can do when you are not balanced... O_O

A bunch of the old urls people were using to host their images no longer exist, since the images were never hosted on the site itself, there's nothing we can do about that. Someone would have to rehost the images and then change all the urls in the hoard. There are a lot of old images on the site that no longer show up.

We bring the flags, the musical instruments and of course the squirrel cookies, and form a welcoming circle around the Square of Arrivals. Wavewright62 leads the band in a happy tune, and finally The Inner Door opens once again. With open arms we welcome our friend and newest Citizen @GaelleDragons to the Safe Zone. Today is indeed a happy day, another one has made it to us. And a great artist, no less! We marvel at the beautiful pieces she has worked on during the quarantine, especially striking among them a diptych of Emil and the Yule tree, and an animation of Lalli running in the woods.
Welcome, welcome, friend!

Midwestmutt, congratulations! And your camp cooking gear looks as good as ever! As Annuil said, nice coffee cup! You can get some lovely drinking vessels at folk festivals and such. I have still a handmade teacup I bought from the SCA’s Alex the Potter, must be twenty years ago. Used to have two, but the other one got broken a few years back when I put it down by the hearth while I was cooking and somebody dropped a log on it, damn! Also have various winecups from folk festivals, Pagan gatherings and the like - good memories.I have a dozen or so cups from various events I attend but only really use two that fit my hand just right. The Willow Folk Fest cup pictured is one of them.
Welcome to the Scouts.

Congrats to Mirasol and all those who got promoted recently!
Lallicat, I think the problem was that the syntax was swapped; the link is supposed to go inside the [url] bracket while the hyperlinked word is supposed to go inbetween the [url] and [/url].
So like this (but without the bold):
[url=https://ssssforum.com/thingies/confetti.html]confetti[/url]

We are also expecting some more scouts. The one good thing about the storm is getting new people, and more experience all around.

Buteo, please be advised that the Rangers’ Office will be expecting you shortly! Mission preparation is also on the way with phyrestorm and Vulpes in mind!I think we should really designate you as our official Promotion Manager, Jitter. :) You're good at it, and already a Skald. So I'm thinking on a sign to put on your door... :)

@Buteo, @Vulpes please complete your remaining training for Ranger positions. There are airports waiting for rulers and one will be shortly assigned to @Sc0ut which means fresh Rangers are needed!

Oh gosh this sounds like such a responsibility, but also exciting! I wonder which airport I'll get XoX

Post by: Róisín on March 29, 2021, 12:11:32 AM
And Sc0ut, I think you can suggest which airport you would like to rule and you are likely to get that one if it is not already claimed. I was fortunate that most people here had probably never heard of the one I wanted, which was the Outback airstrip at Giles Weather Station rather than a proper airport, so I was able to claim it unchallenged. Which was a nice whimsy, because the wilderness in that area is one of my favourite places in the world, as you can possibly tell from some of my fanfic.

A post to thank and congratulate all the wonderful folk who put such time and care into this dear community is always in order!
Jitter, you are one of those who keep my world a little brighter. Paljon kiitos!
I am now off to support two other light sources in a fairly dismal firmament - feed my cats, and do a Finnish lesson on Duolingo.
Eventually, I hope to be able to do more than assure you that the naughty cat is a viking....
Thank you all, and good wishes as well!

Vulpes, almost there! And ScOut too! AFAIK Róisín is right. You just choose an unclaimed airport. Jitter, i.e. chose Joensuu (JOE is the IATA code for it).
Post by: Jitter on March 29, 2021, 10:18:16 AM
And BUTEO you did it! Now you get to eat at the Rangers' mess hall the food is the same but doesn't that sound just grand? And, there will be cake at the Rangers' office. Come quickly before Hotakainen steals it again.

It’s a bit tricky because there are several of users near each threshold but many are not actually here at all. So the “expecting” messages are only for those I happen to know. But I try to keep an eye on it :) Although Mirasol almost managed to sneak away for a while there!
Haha no worries, I didn´t even realize it myself. :'D

But now, many congratulations (https://ssssforum.com/thingies/confetti.html) to Buteo for making it to Ranger!!! :sparkle: :sparkle: :sparkle:
Aww man, I´m also too late for cake, but at least I brought COOKIES! :squirrelcookie: :'D

(Whaat, I think that´s definitly one of the most useful Finnish sentences I have learned so far on Duolingo. ;)
But don´t worry, soon you´ll also be able to tell people they should get lost and let you drink coffee in peace, which I also think is way up there on the usefulness-scale. (I don´t even mean that one ironically :'D))

@Sc0ut, please submit your choice of airfield to the Staffing and quartermaster’s office, Promotions squad at your earliest convenience. Your cake and other applicable celebratory items will be delivered to the location (likely followed by many of the Citizens and staff so please refrain from eating all the cake).

I would like the Buyant-Ukhaa International Airport near Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia if possible! (for the record: It seems it's semi-customary to claim airports from one's country. Meanwhile I am not Mongolian, it's just somewhere i'd really, really like to visit one day. And they are building a new, bigger and better airport there so if a Minnion from around that area wants something local, they still have an option. Yes, I really did overthink this. Thank you for reading!)

I don’t know the grounds for airport choices, but I believe that interest in the area is a very good reason to claim one! I happened to luck out and Joensuu airport both appeared in the comic and is in my childhood city, so I had no difficulty choosing :)

Break out the airag and let's party to congratulate Sc0ut!

A great choice, particularly because I believe we have no safe airports in that area or anything close.
Now we will be able to refuel there while we visit. That can be really useful when on a trip from Europe to Oceania... :)

I've just began, so I guess I'll find out more soon. So far my task has been saying thanks to my friends. ;D
However there's been some talk about reorganization on the "Future of our Fandom thread" (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=1176.msg181490#msg181490), and according to the "Important Information" (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=416.msg17211#msg17211) topic, Skalds are meant to help organizing the Forum, moving, merging or splitting threads, and editing calendar events. They can also lock/unlock and pin threads. So it seems that I'll have to ask Mikkel where he left that wheelbarrow...

we need to recruit more people to make more cakes because we clearly have more and more people joining our Safety Zone!
:sparkle: Congradulations, Songbird! :sparkle: Nice to see more artists joining us!

Well, I may not have cakes with me but I have plenty of pies and cinnamon rolls. There's enough for everyone. I get the first slice of pecan pie though.
Congratulations Songbird!

And to select an airport! A great responsability... must think about that... ;D(While I realize that, in the still-ongoing pandemic, a lot of airports seem to qualify as somewhat "derelict", may I suggest Cabo Ruivo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabo_Ruivo_Seaplane_Base)? Chances are that you won't even have to move, come the switch to Sunken Ship! ;) )

While we are on the subject of baked goods, may I suggest that the baker-in-chief (that is, Mirasol), prepare for many festive occasions! We seem to be getting new citizens (SkyWhalePod and Groupoid, as well as people in the role playing games) and scouts (Moredhel) soon, and the Rangers’ office is already in sights for RanVor and Phyrestorm999! And Grey should be busy choosing his airport by now!
*nods dutifully, takes notes*
Yes yes, there will be plenty of baked goods available for all the future promotions. :)) :squirrelcookie: :squirrelcookie:

Many congratulations and much confetti (https://ssssforum.com/thingies/confetti.html) to Opaque and SkyWhalePod! (I hope the quarantine wasn´t too dreadfull for the poor whales!)

*hand inches toward car keys and wallet*
The collective is fairly comfortable in quarantine, thank you for providing the facilities (whatever those wound up being -- they're nice, anyway)! Lacking thumbs with which to play cards and board games, certain members of us have formed a chamber music group, now that we don't have atmospheric winds interfering with our sensory organs. Anybody who likes is welcome to set up a chair near quarantine and play along! We'll kill time until Groupoid and others get here.

A chamber music group made by flying whales.Such groups are a really, really rare sight over here, that's for sure. Back in their time, the attempts to solidly connect German flutes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_concert_flute#Medieval_flutes_(1000%E2%80%931400)) to blowholes were ... not pretty.

I still remember the first time I checked the Forum. I remember thinking: "I should not do it, I may like this place and end up using lots of my time here..."
Well, my instinct was good! :) And, you know, I'm very glad that I didn't follow it! :D
Thank you so much @Jitter, Moredhel, Keep Looking and all my other dear friends, you make this place unique and special! And I hope to be with you when we reach, together, many more special moments!
As for the airport I'll follow @JoB 's suggestion and take the not derelict but extinct seaplane airport of Cabo Ruivo, on Lisbon. All that remains of it is the dock, actually called "Doca dos Olivais", that was the center point of EXPO 98.
(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FEcHJfaMW1o/SVytAHe8AKI/AAAAAAAAGkQ/as-QJ1Ce0eU/s400/caboruivohidroavio1962aon0.jpg)
It's a beautiful place that now houses Lisbon Oceanarium, that on Y90 would make an excellent base!
(https://www.golisbon.com/images/lisbon/oceanarium-lisbon.jpg)
Therefore I do swear here a solemn oath to rule it wisely, guard and protect it for whatever future day when it may be needed again!
Now, cake!!! :sparkle: :hat: :sparkle: :))

Lots of people have been finding old threads, too, so hopefully everyone'll find some they like, and the smaller size of these archives might make people want to add more if they want to fill them.

Please accept out thanks, hugs and cakes, dearest Róisín!

Not necessarily, but the baked goods will not have any stains after the fox is finished!
Definitely true.

And with that I will also say I am officially retiring now. I'm not leaving the community or anything, I've just decided it's a good time for retirement as admin, especially with grad school and work, I haven't been able to dedicate as much time to the development of this site and community as I'd like to have. If you want to chat, you can always DM me. I've been really lucky to get to work for you guys all these years and I know it sounds cliché and dumb but it has actually changed my life. I've been able to get jobs with experience I learned here, working on this site. I've met so many cool people and travelled around the world and I've learned so many things from you guys. This place has fundamentally changed me as a person. Thank you for that. And thank you for being such an awesome community.
*serious face* I expect you all to be as lovely and wonderful to Keep as you have been to me.
Thanks guys and good luck Keep! I know you're going to be amazing <3

Kitting? =^. .^=

Kitting? =^. .^=
Well, a proper kit in the SSSS world does include a cat.
Though I don't know that the cat would appreciate being classed as part of the kit rather than as one of the personnel. Better not put it that way -- I think there's an ear swiveling in this direction.
Congratulations to Keep Looking (and to everybody else, I don't post in this thread very often.) And Feartheviolas, thank you very much for your dedicated work!

Incidentally, with regards to "kitting out" - I didn't intend to imply that a cat was a mere part of the kit. I'd never call Fortitude that.

Post by: Róisín on November 23, 2021, 08:16:38 AM
Ah, Yastreb, is that cat the inspiration for that lion in your story? And it may be that the expression ‘kitting out’ is not so common overseas? I was thinking back over instances in which I have heard it used and realised that those were mostly either Australian, military or emergency services personnel (I have heard Mungo and the Brat use it, and Chris W), or the climbing and spelunking community, or some overlap of these groups?
Viola, thank you for all the hard work, love and patience you have put into this fandom! Especially for your patience with my inept fumbling with technology and trying to learn how to use the Forum. May your next adventure work well for you and bring you joy.
Post by: Keep Looking on November 23, 2021, 09:08:15 AM
Thanks for all the congratulations! I'm really honoured that I'm able to be an admin here and I hope that I'll do a decent job of it (feel free to message me if there are any issues, I'm always happy to take feedback as long as it's in good faith). This community has been really important to me over the last few years and I hope I'll be able to help in some way to keep it alive and to make this place a good place for all of us. I'd definitely second Viola on her statement - I wouldn't be the person that I am today if it wasn't for this community and the people here, and I've learned so many things. I hope I can continue learning from you guys!
Viola, thank you so much for everything you've done as admin these last few years, and also thank you for the time you spent training me up! It's been really lovely working with you.

Ah, Yastreb, is that cat the inspiration for that lion in your story?
Fortitude originally appeared in an Earthdawn RPG campaign from a few years back. The Maine Coon pic is how I imagined he looked as a kitten.
For the curious (and because of context), here's how he first appeared in volume 2 of my saga.
It came into view and stopped to stare at them. It was a large black cat-like creature standing about three feet high at the shoulder; its face was framed by a luxuriant mane. Eyes of dark yellow flickered between them, then flared brightly and faded to a dull glow. Its long tufted tail thrashed briefly, and then was still.
"Sevyarou?" whispered Tavrenn in awe.
“Sevyarou!” gasped Haaki. “By the Dragon! They survived!”
Tavrenn could sense Haaki reaching out to touch minds with the creature, and he held his tongue, watching the silent exchange for a brief moment.
As a child he had heard stories about the Black Lions, and often played with a Black Lion toy. When he grew up, and began his formal learning, he had read about some of the wonders of the Empire, and delved into the few records of the Hell Reign. The Black Lions had been prominent in those stories; powerful creatures infused with the Essence of Light to combat the corrupted Dark Essence in all its forms, and fearless in that duty. But the tales were tinged with sadness, for they had all perished in the Hell Reign, holding back the tide of destruction. To see one of them, in the flesh, was a marvellous sensation; a dream come true...

My cake arrived after all!
(https://imgur.com/Z8emUoS.png)
Reporting for duty as the chief officer of S/S Kuru. The Kuru sunk in a storm outside of Tampere September 7, 1929, taking with it 136 out of the total of 162 people on board. The accident remains the worst shipwreck in inland waters of Finland. The ship was lifted from the bottom on September 22, and started on its line again on October 14 of the same year. Why would you waste a perfectly good ship because of some bad luck with weather, hm? The accident was later taken to court, and two courts found the captain not guilty, ruling the main reason of the accident to be unexpectedly strong forces of nature.

And so you became the Admiral of an Unsunken Ship! :D

Anyways, I thought it might come in handy around Saimaa! More useful than one in the bottom of lake Näsijärvi!
As you may notice, I’ve been waiting for this and chose the ship in advance too :)
BTW Grey the Finnish is all correct
Post by: thegreyarea on February 03, 2022, 02:34:29 PM
Hmm, it’s definitely a ship that sank, wouldn’t that make it a sunken ship? It’s not in the bottom any more, but still, it has been sunken 🤔 Maybe it was desunken?Oh, I don't see any problem with the choice! It's fine, and a nice ship. As a matter of fact it's so nice that people decided to give it a second chance! So you chose well.

And yes, desunken fits better than unsunken. :)In actual naval lingo, such a ship has been "raised", the superordinate concept being "salvaged (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_salvage)". Of course, some might prefer terms like "REsink ready" ... >:D

And is that a Girl Genius wasp eater in the illustration with the plain cake? That could be as useful as a cat if it could be trained to detect and hunt trolls and beasts as well as slaver wasps!

Since there's already plenty of cake - yes, I know that's something we could argue about - I decided to make something else as a gift to you.
I hope you don't mind me using your avatar...
Scout Night

This one is 17x5 cm, and it makes a great bookmark.
I made one to myself on photo paper, and it looks fine. 8)
So on this link (https://i.postimg.cc/VvfshxP0/scout-night-bookmark-for-printing.png) you will find a version ready for printing two units of it on an A4 size sheet. Just remember to select best quality on the printer.
After printing cut the pair of images and glue them together. Your two-sided bookmark is ready.
(sorry, I tried to upload the glue too but didn't find out how... must be some hidden setting... ;D )

Grey that is a wonderful gift and I need to print it out!! It is beautiful!! (Plus it has the moon and mars and Jupiter!! )
The cake is from a place called Milk Bar. (They do deliver, but only in the US). There is one not far from where I work (When I am in the office)
I don't often make fancy cakes (My stand by's are traditional red velvet cake, Boston cream pie, and Maple walnut cake).
I have never had their cakes (They are all so pretty though). I have had their cookies and find them a bit to sweet. (My favorite purchased cookies being lotus biscoff and homemade shortbread )
I actually purchased a few different brands of specaroos cookies. I was quite surprised the ones from the Netherlands had some pepper in them and were spicier than the ones from Belgium)
The you all so much

It would be nice to have some more reaction images from the Comic of the Month works at least(https://i.postimg.cc/Pq3tbThq/Screenshot-20220429-163613.png) (https://www.webtoons.com/en/supernatural/sword-interval/ep-36-hey-batter-batter/viewer?title_no=486&episode_no=36)

It is indeed a wasp eater. It would be nice to have some more reaction images from the Comic of the Month works at least, but so far there are only two, both from GG and both about cake :) First things first!
(yeah, that was me. I like the attitude toward cake in the comic, okay?)

Then something unexpected happens. Along the cliffside, west of the Great Door, an immense mechanical arm swings down with the hiss of hydraulics. The gigantic hex-nut at the end of the arm fits perfectly into the one set into the center of the cog-door, and pulls it back with a groan onto a set of toothed tracks just inside the door. The tracks shudder into motion, and pull the door aside, exposing a large, strange looking room.
A room we all have forgotten exists, but now it’s undeniably open. In the room there are exotic looking apparatus of metal, with exotic but definitely technological air about them. Among all this we see a person.
R.M.S.N.P has arrived to the Safe Zone via a surprising route, but they are most welcome! We surround them with welcomes and cake!
(Sorry, for some reason I cannot tag you)

As far as which airport you might claim as your own, any previously unconquered airport (airfield/spaceport/zeppelin field etc) will do, it doesn't have to be your 'local'.
Post by: Yastreb on January 02, 2023, 06:07:00 AM

Zeppelin field...
I choose Bartolomeu de Gusmão Airport, Brazil. It has an intact hangar that was intended to house LZ-129 Graf Zeppelin.

Thank you! Love the little story that accompanies it as well.

Congratulations, Yastreb! What a great choice for airport, and what a nice buffet of cakes!
I can tell that each is delicious on its own, while my preferred is the Fubá one, which usually gets a touch of coconut in the recipe. ^-^

How many places can a person have so much fun that they don't spend precious time working for promotions, or even notice when they get one? :3

O ruler @dmeck7755 please release unto us the name of thine airport!
Party time at Central Square!
Thank you all very much!! Yum!
I think I shall pick the following:
Marlborough Airport http://www.airfields-freeman.com/ma/airfields_ma_c.htm
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marlboro_Airport (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marlboro_Airport)
It actually had a little bit of history. It was the oldest commercial airport in massachusetts(US)
Obama (http://archive.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2010/05/28/obamas_visit_was_too_much_of_a_burden_for_airstrip/) used it in 2011 and broke it.
Spoiler: show
It is now an industrial (https://www.flyingmag.com/marlboro-airport-closing/) park

Congratulations Dmeck!!
1000 posts, that's a lot. I wonder if I ever get there. Maybe I should first try to get to the safe zone.

Bippity, dive into the threads and you’ll reach the Great Door in no time! Dmeck herself hasn’t been here all that long and here we are! In particular the creative corner is very good for growing one’s post count. Obviously by posting your work, if that’s your jam (note that the works don’t need to be polished up, just a short idea is also a delight), but also by discussing others’ works. And the re-read could obviously use some more commentary, also on the earlier parts than what is in the current schedule.
Post by: thorny on May 07, 2023, 03:10:39 PM
Róisín, it is indeed!
Given that, is the cake likely to lead to a nice long nap?

A very special occasio; is upon us! A new Ruler of a Derelict Airport rises! And it is no other than our wise and benevolent Admin, Keep Looking! She toils for our benefit, often behind the scenes but also today she has posted her thousandth comment!
Please state your airport, and it will be engraved into the annals, @Keep Looking!

Celebration in the Main Square! There will be both cake and squirrel cookies! Maybe even some korvapuusti!

The derelict airport I choose to rule is Changi Airport in Singapore. This is actually the airport I have passed through the most times! While I do not live in Singapore, it is where my mother grew up and so we went back every few years as a child to visit my grandparents and my mum's sister. Every time I have travelled outside Australia I have passed through Singapore airport, whether it be to Malaysia or (once) to Vietnam and Cambodia. I have memories of delayed flights, exploration with my brothers, lots of fun with the travellators.
It's also a very large airport with lots of cool features and as such would be very cool to explore in a post-apocalyptic setting, especially since its large amount of internal gardens and tropical location means it would likely end up very overgrown. The runway area has a whole system of canals and whenever I land there I always wonder what kind of ecosystem has managed to set itself up in such a place.

Sounds like a very interesting setting for a post-apocalyptic adventure!

Huzzah to Keep Looking! I kept looking (yeah, that's intended) at your post total as it creeped its agonising last 10 to the milestone, but I'm glad Jitter was able to do the honours.

Oh, the otters are a hot topic in Singapore. They've been getting more abundant. Some people love them, some people hate them. Apparently they've been coming into the gardens near my grandparents' condo complex and eating the fish out of the fish ponds.

So, woefully late but at least still during the same month, the Quartermaster’s Office Promotions Squad finally manages to get its act together and presents to all Forumites near and far:
Our beloved Wave has conquered her city. Please step forward, Conqueror @wavewright62 and announce the name of your domain.
All Citizens will be served cake at the central square. And contrary to popular belief, not all of the rum is gone! The squirrels have a secret stash and they have promised that the Promotions Squad can have some for the promotional punch. Also on offer are squirrel cookies and moose mead, and naturally a fine selection of non-alcoholic drinks. Welcome! Welcome all!

Congrats dmeck and KeepLooking for claiming your airports, and congrats to Wave for conquering a city!!! (5000 posts, oh damn...)
And of course welcome to the safezone to NightMareMage and dreki!
I hope that´s everyone I missed... I have brought plenty of cookies to apologize. :squirrelcookie: :squirrelcookie: :squirrelcookie: :squirrelcookie: :squirrelcookie:

OH

Actually, now that you mention it, I did make the 5000th post to coincide with the 10th Anniversary but got so confuzzled about what city I'd have conquered I left that session.... and forgot to come back to it. I still haven't decided. Not gonna be Auckland. (I may have to decide after I make a scouting trip next northern summer.)

I will choose.
