There's something fishy about this build...

How come you guys get cool people and I get a flipping boat race

I'm obviously easily inspired... My inspiration is Peter Daly (Priest).

Fr. Peter Daly was an Irish priest, c. 1788-1868.

Ummm... This is literally the only entry for my guy. Not even a picture.

At least it's not a boat. Your dude probably doesn't have a photo cause he's a vampire. An Irish vampire

Where's your entry @Fish Styx ?
If you need inspiration: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random

Okay, I viewed this as a challenge, and so I have some questions about the parameters, if you will.

Did you quote wikipedia verbatim, use AI, or write it yourself?

Any required length?

Can we cite references in APA as opposed to MLA?

Understanding that the gauntlet hath been cast, how do we determine a winner?

Here is my proposal:

1. If one of us (hereafter referred to, collectively, as parties) wins, to the victor goes the spoils.

2) If neither party wins the "grand prize", as outlined in item #1, the triumphant party shall be chosen by a jury of their peers. For this task, I nominate the #Heathens and #Cronies .

3) The losing party shall do the following:

3.1. Use an AI tool of their chosing to generate a 2000 word essay on why they love the victor.

3.2. Create a new thread in reef chat titled, "I lost a bet"

3.3. Paste the literary masterpiece from item 3.1 as the inaugural post in the thread outlined in 3.2.

I'll await your reply.


Edit: ALL content MUST honor the TOS.

You've should've been the one who got the boat

 

[Fish Styx]

Who are these heathens

You could be, but you choose not to hang out with us.

 

[tbrown]

You've should've been the one who got the boat

At least he didn't get Peter Daly.

 

[Anna K]

At least he didn't get Peter Daly.

Hes a vampire!

 

[tbrown]

Or the highly inspirational PMZ-40

 

[Fish Styx]

At least he didn't get Peter Daly.

It would be the last post good 'ol Styx ever posted, because that would be what finally gets me banned.

 

[Anna K]

Or the highly inspirational PMZ-40

I point blank looked at my husband and said "what do you know about the pmz 40 land mine" and without missing a beat he goes "it's a russia land mine used in ww2" what a solid war nerd

 

[tbrown]

Man... An animated short with a 17 page plot...?

 

[Fish Styx]

I like him. He's a keeper.

Wrote it all myself. Can't you tell by my lack of ability

Any required length?

Five plus sentences apparently. Usually four more then I can write

Can we cite references in APA as opposed to MLA?

Are you trying to bring back middle school trauma??

Understanding that the gauntlet hath been cast, how do we determine a winner?

Whoever manages to not get hit with the gauntlet. That's my goal when metal objects are thrown

Here is my proposal:

Yes! Of course! I thought you’d never ask!

1. If one of us (hereafter referred to, collectively, as parties) wins, to the victor goes the spoils.

I don't like parties

2) If neither party wins the "grand prize", as outlined in item #1, the triumphant party shall be chosen by a jury of their peers. For this task, I nominate the #Heathens and #Cronies .

Jury?! What did I do this time. I'm innocent I swear!!

3) The losing party shall do the following
3.1. Use a AI tool of their chosing to generate a 2000 word essay on why they love the victor.

Meh, I don't like Victor

3.2. Create a new thread in reef chat titled, "I lost a bet"

3.3. Paste the literary masterpiece from item 3.1 as the inaugural post in the thread outlined in 3.2.

I'll await your reply.

There I think I answered all your questions without answering any of your questions

 

[tbrown]

Jury?! What did I do this time. I'm innocent I swear!!

What if we used a nursery of raccoons as a jury instead of our peers? Or is there really a difference?

 

[Fish Styx]

I would expect nothing less, as I feel it honors the spirit of the challenge.

 

[Fish Styx]

Haven't we already determined that it's a DUMPSTER of raccoons?


Also, no difference. We are a dumpster.

They are only worth keeping if you have the money to burn, the curiosity to study up beforehand, and the patience of a saint. There's very few people that are truly willing to dedicate the time and resources to a singular thing in a whole world of varied reef tanks.

Yeah this seems about right. Jellyfish or an octopus tank are on my “one day” list when I have all of the things you mentioned. Currently I seem to only have 1 or 2 of the 3 at any given time
