Look, Arby, the point of the game is to take the sentence from the previous post, and re-type it so that it's different, then post a new sentence, which I've exactly been doing.


No it isn't, the point is to make it verbose.


That's the title, the rules of the game are to take the previous typed sentence, and retype it, then post a new sentence. Rainbow Dash never stated to make it more complicated, longer, or anything like that, the title is there to hook people in. I'm sticking to this, I'll change my ways if, and only if, Rainbow Dash corrects me, and says I've been doing it wrong. As for the sentence "I already tried desperately to explain it to him, he just won't get it." here's my alteration:

I've tried to get the message through Psychotic Ninja's thick skull, but he's just as stubborn as ever.

Do you even know what "verbose" means?

verbose |vərˈbōs|
adjective
using or expressed in more words than are needed:
much academic language is obscure and verbose.

Doth thy perspicacity not allow ye to comprehend the denotation of the term referred to as "verbose?"

Gentlemen, it would appear to me that under this circumstance; in which we have strayed far from our original point of discussion; it would do us well to bring our conversation back into specificity of that which is the designated topic given to us by the author of this thread.

Holy shit guys, when did you all get so anal about rules that you get by reading between the lines?!?!? I'm simply following the rules that Rainbow Dash typed, and you're all getting all anal and pissed at me cause I'm not following the "read-between-the-llines" rules, and once again, you ignore the new sentence I had put up, so, once again, I'm going to use it, and keep on using it, until someone retypes it, as the rules states.

I say really now, is it true that you may have been lying in wait in this very location at these coordinates for this needlessly extended period of chronological passing? I was previously and shamelessly unaware that you were referring to these containers of water utilised for bathing at odd hours of the day. I traversed a great distance beyond normal parameters to the far side of this great and truly magnificent if slightly rustic city of towering skyscrapers. It then developed that I had a most fascinating and brilliant bathing experience utilising water and a vigorous rubbing down of the most fragrant oils in the entire world resulting in a scent the likes of which few mere mortals have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. In fact it is a resounding shame that you were not present at this bathing experience....I say in fact this thoroughly and unnecessarily verbose experience with myself in my head with my voice really needs to cease immediately.

"Oh God what have I done!?"

Spoiler: show
Also, verbosity is about needlessly using too many words for something. If something is verbose, it contains more words than it needs to. Plus where's the fun in rewording something (for game purposes) if it ISN'T so it becomes verbose? :P

Now that we've got this out of the way, lets remain on-topic AND civil please! :D

My my, your male life-partner seems to be of utmost attractiveness. He will come with me to a lavish mansion dedicated to the lowest of lower extremities.

Now, let me try this a third time:

Forsooth! Your most assuredly incorrect assumption of truth and rather sly hinting towards negative possibilities has become most egregious and unacceptable. *Punch*

I believe that it could be said that it is not entirely true, nor entirely false, that these records in my possession have possibly been modified so as to not reflect the truth accurately.

Thou art unequivocally blatantly in the disposition of a rapacious, covetous, four-legged forest roaming mammal characterized by a large, powerful jaw and physically efficacious legs in addition to acting as the antithesis of disingenuousness.
