Why you SHOULD trust Wikipedia

merlinsorca @merlinsorca (1118) • United States 3 Jul 10

I am getting fed up with all the people who say that Wikipedia is terrible because of it's open-editing. If everyone can edit it, shouldn't all articles have wrong information and be vandalized all the time? But they aren't. If...

SpaceInvasion Alliance Updates

merlinsorca @merlinsorca (1118) • United States 27 Feb 10

More stuff has happened for me to write about. First Signs - Since December 4th, 2009 I think (the big date is seared into my memory) or November 25th, the game universe(s) started to shut down. It started with...

Some things I've noticed about YouTube

merlinsorca @merlinsorca (1118) • United States 21 Feb 10

One. Famous people on YouTube have all their videos rated at 5 stars just because they are famous. Yes, I can understand that they are funny or awesome or cool but I realized that even if they post a not-so-good video it will...

What do you do for fun on Maplestory?

merlinsorca @merlinsorca (1118) • United States 11 Feb 10

I mean, besides leveling and doing quests or anything normal. What do you do when you're bored? For example, I saw someone (an assassin or bandit) in Right Around Lith Harbor, making bets with the newbies there. She said that...

What is the grading system that is most familiar to you?

merlinsorca @merlinsorca (1118) • United States 21 Jan 10

By grading system, I mean a letter grade (A+, B-, etc.) or a percent grade (100%, 50%, etc.). So, for all the times you see/have seen school, which grading system was used most often? If you are a student now, or...

I hate it when people over-barricade buildings!

merlinsorca @merlinsorca (1118) • United States 20 Jan 10

In the game, survivors can enter a barricaded building as long as it is on Very Strongly Barricaded (VSB) or lower. If it is higher, the survivor must go to an "entry point" which should be a building that has...

Wikipedia.com vs Wikipedia.org ?

merlinsorca @merlinsorca (1118) • United States 18 Jan 10

I just realized that there was an interest called Wikipedia.com on myLot and so I joined it. But I just wanted to point out that Wikipedia.com is not the correct website - it is called Wikipedia.org whenever you go to that...

merlinsorca @merlinsorca (1118) • United States 3 Jan 10

Folding at home (F@H for short) is hard to explain, but it is a distributed computing project that runs protein folding simulations on peoples' computers. The protein folding information is used to research protein misfolding and...

What makes you a citizen of your country?

merlinsorca @merlinsorca (1118) • United States 18 Dec 09

Do you simply need to have a citizenship and documents or do you need to do something more? I ask this because I remember one time I got into a conversation with my friend about cheese in a can (I never ate this before) and he...

Rant about FPS games where people are just. . .

merlinsorca @merlinsorca (1118) • United States 16 Dec 09

jerks. Especially those people who call me a hacker when I'm not. Most of the time I just got lucky and so had a streak of headshots but people kick me anyway. . . One time, when I was being accused of hacking and threatened to be...

Chickens are over-eaten

merlinsorca @merlinsorca (1118) • United States 10 Dec 09

Is it just me, or are chickens eaten too much? Not only do we enjoy their meat, but we also eat their eggs, too! Everything about chickens gets eaten. . . Can't we just give them a break and stop eating so many of them? It's...

Telepathy - Best form of communication

merlinsorca @merlinsorca (1118) • United States 6 Dec 09

I read somewhere that a person thought that typing and using e-mail is the worst form of communication, because you only see the words and not really what the person feels. The person said that talking over the phone is slightly...

What "types" of discussions do you start?

merlinsorca @merlinsorca (1118) • United States 5 Dec 09

When I say that, I mean if you start discussions about things that are real or things that are theoretical? Some examples of a 'real' discussion would be "Today I saw on the news..." and "What do you like to do when..." and...

When you use smileys, do you really MEAN them?

merlinsorca @merlinsorca (1118) • United States 26 Nov 09

What I mean is when you throw out a smiley out there, are you really cursing and is your face actually turning red ? Whenever you use one of those myLot smileys do you really feel that way, are you actually...

Do you feel bad when you attack people. . .

merlinsorca @merlinsorca (1118) • United States 24 Nov 09

. . .that are too easy of a target? In SpaceInvasion, or something similar in real life, do you feel bad whenever you "attack" people? In the game, I do not have many good targets to attack. There are only a few planets which...

People who don't read, or just ignore things. . .

merlinsorca @merlinsorca (1118) • United States 21 Nov 09

Don't you just hate people who do not READ things? Here in SpaceInvasion, I have encountered several people who tried to recruit me into their alliance when I was already in one! When sending a message, the sender will see very...

. . .here in SpaceInvasion. I am fully aware that I am making another discussion that little to no people will respond to, but I am just putting this out for the heck of it. So, in this game I'm sure you know so much about...

How long will mylot last?

merlinsorca @merlinsorca (1118) • United States 15 Nov 09

Mylot.com has been going on for only about few years, and it has already gotten over 190,000 people to sign up (though most of them aren't active). So, I was wondering how long this website would last, considering all factors. If...

Mylot's "competition" . . .

merlinsorca @merlinsorca (1118) • United States 1 Nov 09

During my internet searches, I have found a few other websites that are similar to mylot, where you have to write things to earn money . . . I won't name them, but I have to say that I am not impressed with the other...
