Unofficial Senseless Banter Rules

**Man of Steel** · 05-11-2008 08:23 AM

"Ask'eth naught what The Banter of the Senseless can do'eth for you, but ask'eth what you may do for it."

Senseless Banter is about games. But do people care? NO! Of course not. Everything that starts as a game degrades into Senseless dribble, unless of course the game is about Senseless dribble, then everyone wins.

I have taken the trouble to note down these few simple, easy to follow rules, which are really more like guidelines, in the hopes of steering this board in a more or less useful direction. Read that as you will.

These are the rules that hold true to the podium upon which we stand:

Don't talk about Senseless Banter
Nothing Makes Sense. Theres a reason its called Senseless Banter.
There are no rules.
Think long and hard about the last statement.
Collect the pieces of your brain that are now scattered across the room, that explosion must've hurt.
If it makes Sense, fix it.
To fix it you must break it.
Repeat step 5.
There is no spoon.
There is no flow either.
Want to go shave a dog?
Baboons have NOT invaded your pants (yet).
Mark75 's gender is Turtle.
Naked Turtle
You do NOT know everything about canoeing. Have you ever canoed in space? I thought not.
Go Separate Spartiate.
The Revolucion is over.
Don just wants your love.
The Russian National Anthem is the best anthem ever.
The Apocalypse was last month, get back to work!
It involved 2 year old Glass Zombies with shapeshifting stalker garden gnomes employed by the CIA. Contrary to Rule #1, this makes sense.
Repeat Step 5.
Profit.
The Dancing Banana is NOT out to get you.
The Dancing Orange, however, is.
Wanted ALWAYS comes back.
Dead baby jokes are not funny. We know this because Clairity said so.
GH still hasn't left. Yet.
If you stalk Mes, you have to answer to MoS.
MoS rocks. Hard. Rock hard.
The DV Night Crew own the Chat.
“. . .”
Artelis is watching.
Leo Volont is Watching, with great Vigor and Salacious Interest. And lots of Capitalized words.
Kaniaz, on the other hand, is not watching. He apparently now has a life. Who knew?
References to drugs may get you warned, but it'll make Nina like you.
Harry Potter sex is Evil Sex.
Remember MoT. \o/
Don't cross the Ninja mods. (They know who they are...)
Do, a deer, a female deer.
The Question is still being worked out.
The Answer is still 42. The Answer is always 42.
The TRULY Senseless Thread exists for a reason.
The Real Mark75 threads, however, do not.
What Do You Think About the _____ Above/Below You is no longer a good thread idea.
Seismosaur is not the King of Off-Topic.
Jdeadevil can only stay out of Senseless Banter for just so long.
“Look at my post count!” is not a good thread topic, unless you include useless random facts about why the number of your post count is significant.
If Clairity posts a video, it's funny.
If AmazeO XD posts a video, or even just a topic, it's not funny. Because AmazeO XD is to be taken seriously.
The cake is a lie.
The Prophets promised cake.
The Prophets are liars.
Goldney is still Dreamviews Gentleman since 1837, and don't you forget it.
The secret to flying is to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
Don't try this from any great height.
If you're going to parody something or someone, do a good job of it, not a half-assed one.
The weighted companion cube will not threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak .
If the weighted companion cube does speak to you, please disregard its advice.
No, you can't do that.
See #5 before reading on.
If you have to ask, it's not funny.
Not even if your drunk friend told you it was.
Yes, you need a haircut.
There ARE girls on the internet, despite what the paranoid nerds at 4chan think.
But they don't put out.
Unless you get them really drunk in chat.
DO NOT TAKE MARK75 SERIOUSLY!
If you have been at Dreamviews less than a week, you shouldn't be in Senseless Banter.
Amethyst Star officially pwns you.
So does Oneironaut.
Wavefunction not so much, but he has a big Banhammer.
The staff did not leave because of a conspiracy. They left because of YOU, and cheeseburgers.
Okay, the cheeseburgers are a lie too. The Prophets made me do it!
Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side.
There are a total of 100 Rules of Senseless Banter, but the other 24 are unspoken. If you don't know what they are already, GET OUT.

Follow these rules which do not exist, and you will succeed in the world of Senseless Banter. Fail to follow these rules, and Wavefunction will swing his Banhammer in a threatening manner until you do.

The REAL 75. Needs more Mark75.

**Kiza** · 05-11-2008 10:19 AM

Love all the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy and portal references.

**AmazeO XD** · 05-11-2008 08:41 PM

You should also make a rule that old meme's are really not funny. Also, that bandwagoning is stupid.

Which would probablly erase all of your Portal references.

I think someone is sore about Rule 50.

I'm handing out too many of these. Something's not right.

I should really play Portal one of these days. I freaking love all the quotes.

Wow, I'm honored! That's only my second one. I made Rule 54 just for you in thanks.

**Wavefunction** · 05-11-2008 10:07 PM

Awesome. Especially 49 and 50.

I had to edit Rule 50 a bit. He wanted to be taken seriously, apparently.

Who knew?

**Lord Toaster** · 05-11-2008 10:56 PM

A masterpiece.

Someone move it to DV favourites.

I'd rather it be stickied here, actually.

You know, there's NOTHING I hate more than someone who uses fucking Portal quotes without playing it. Leave. Now. Seriously, don't become a fucking bandwagon Bob. "Omg I think Portal is so witty even though I've never played it and wouldn't even understand why it's funny because it makes no sense unless you see the quote in context."

And it's not because I'm mad about #50, it's because there are way too many people who say "LOL THE CAKE IS A LIE" and haven't even played Portal.

**Man of Steel** · 05-12-2008 01:15 AM

Everyone hates the Water Temple.

I haven't even played a single Zelda game, either. LULZ

No, see.. I'm allowed to say "everyone hates the water temple" because I've played almost every Zelda game to date.

It's like someone quoting a fucking movie without actually seeing the movie.

Saying "the cake is a lie" without playing Portal is the most failure of a fucking thing you can possibly do, which is why I think you shouldn't use it from now on.

I even invited all of your friends, but they couldn't come because you don't have any friends. It says it right here in your personel file, "Unlike-able, liked by no-one, whose death shall not be mourned."

**Man of Steel** · 05-12-2008 01:24 AM

*sigh*

The joke is on you, my friend, because my reference to "The cake is a lie," referenced not simply Portal, but a whole slew of other inside jokes branching off from that one reference until it really had nothing to do with Portal anymore.

Now, if you have nothing better to say, please stay out of this thread.

**Wavefunction** · 05-12-2008 01:33 AM

I've never seen Dragonball Z; should I never use the joke "over 9000"?

**Xox** · 05-12-2008 01:34 AM

Agreed. Or stickied.

See rule # 30.

Well, that's different. "OVER 9000!" Isn't known from a Dragonball Z episode, it's known because someone put a clip of it online and it branched from that.

"the cake is a lie" originated from Portal, and only Portal.

27 · 05-12-2008 02:00 AM

Brilliant MoS.

You should rent portal, it's a fantastic game. And I can see how someone could be bothered by someone quoting something they've never seen/played, but I can't see why Amaze would have such a huge problem with it. It does seem he's just pissed about you poking fun at him.

No, you really shouldn't.

**Wavefunction** · 05-12-2008 02:35 AM

Okay.

It's known from a clip of Dragonball Z...

**Kushna Mufeed** · 05-12-2008 03:37 AM

Fucking awesome. Although I would have alot more respect for it if the first two rules were:

1. Do not talk about Senseless Banter
2. Do not talk about Senseless Banter

**kichu** · 05-12-2008 03:51 AM

#32 and #34 are the best.

**AmazeO XD** · 05-12-2008 08:57 AM

Yes, but it's the CLIP that made it popular, not the show.

Like I said, it wasn't a CLIP of Portal. It was the actual game.

Maybe you just don't get it.

It's not Dragonball Z that was popular, it was the clip of it. That's the only reason anyone said it, because it was a clip on the internet.

You saying "IT'S OVER 9000!" and not seeing the CLIP would be equal to saying "The cake is a lie" and not playing Portal.

And, for 27. I'm already irked that he started poking fun at me, but he stooped down to the level of that guy. That guy who quotes Portal and who hasn't played it.

If I had a dollar for every single one of those people I've seen, I'd be fucking rich. It's like milking it for all it's worth, when you never even touched the cow in the first place.
