2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!
Donations so far: $1675.86Goal: $10000
Information icon.svg At the chicken coop, we are currently voting on a change to the blocking policy to clarify when offsite behavior such as harassment and brigading can get someone banned from RW. A reminder that you need at least 75 edits and to have had an account for at least 3 months to vote.

Welcome[edit]

You seem to be an actual human being! Congratulations! Welcome to RationalWiki and have a complimentary goat! KnightOfTL;DR (talk) 18:01, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

My software is just really, really good, but thanks for the goat. I shall have it scanned so that I may consume the sum of its being. Erk (talk) 18:07, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
I also detect you are proficient in the knowledge of the video games, such as Starcraft, possibly Knights of the Old Republic, and a slim-chance-of-Fire-Emblem-but-probably-not. Scientist foodie who likes games. Interesting development...KnightOfTL;DR (talk) 18:21, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
Correct on SC and KotOR, although I don't remember referencing KotOR. I haven't played any fire emblem though. Erk (talk) 20:42, 5 March 2012 (UTC) (ed: Oh right. Meatbag. Hehehe.)
Ah, OK. Fire Emblem was a distant possibility; a character has your handle in one of the games, though he's minor. But he does happen to be a snarky wizard with purple hair. But all the same, both Starcraft and KotOR are good games. Yay! KnightOfTL;DR (talk) 21:03, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
I also thought of Fire Emblem, but I wasn't willing to get my hopes up. Star of David.png Radioactive afikomen Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments. 05:30, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

I shall not fail you again, TheCheat. This I swear upon my honor.KnightOfTL;DR (talk) 18:21, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
It's all right. Your goat had lots of character. Erk (talk) 18:25, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
To be fair I have no idea what I am doing here as far as rules go, but the precedent I have seen is to use the welcome template thingy TheCheatI run on alcohol 18:50, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
"rules"? Peter Monomorium antarcticum 05:33, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
It's also tradition to throw in a few random words :-) "boorishly maturing cheery ear candle," for example. Star of David.png Radioactive afikomen Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments. 05:32, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
Yeah, but only you do that. Peter Monomorium antarcticum 05:33, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
Bah. Kids these days have no appreciation for tradition. Star of David.png Radioactive afikomen Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments. 10:06, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
Tradition? WHAT'S TRADITION!?--Dumpling (talk) 19:24, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
I think it's when all day and night you have to struggle for a living, to feed a wife and children, say your daily prayers. And who who has the right as master of the house to have the final word at home? ERK! | Complaints Hotline 19:27, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
What is tradition? A miserable little pile of rituals!KnightOfTL;DR (talk) 19:34, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
TRADITIOOOON! TRADITION!--Dumpling (talk) 19:37, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

Have a mop and bucket for your trouble. Don't spend it all at once. Scarlet A.pngnarchist 21:10, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

What did I ever do to you to earn this kind of abuse? (thanks!) ERK! | Complaints Hotline 21:16, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
