Just scrabble? You must be hanging out in the chatbox at boring times. We had a foursom.

Schools can have pretty ridiculous rules. I went to a Catholic high school so I think I've experienced a fair bit of ridiculousness. I got banned from the computers in school TOO often. It was only for a week at a time. People really need a sense of humour. Some of the things I did:

Changed the mouse to 'left handed' so that right click was left click and left click was right click on ONE computer. (Seriously, got banned for that?)

Changed the windows 98 start-up sound so that it would repeat 5 times then wait for 7 seconds and play again. (Again, I don't think 'banning' was appropriate)

Changed the wallpaper on one computer to (Might be NSFW):

Spoiler:

(Okay that time I understand being banned)

But yeah, schools can be harsh on rules regarding computers. Mine wasn't really harsh. As for the first two examples they made me go back and fix them myself after none of the staff knew how... I also got banned from the library for playing chess.

At a Catholic highschool I'm surprised you didn't get expelled for thinking.

Actually, at my school libarary they have this little proggy on the desktop. Super simple little thing. You click it, and an alert pops up on the computer of whoever is watching over the computer lab at the time saying "computer X needs help."

If you're even the slightest bit clever though, you can change the number of the computer it says needs help. I've had tons of fun making the staff walk all over the place answering people's calls for help.

It was even more fun, cuz somebody who had a reputation for playing pranks in the computer lab got blamed for it. X'D

I always wanted to make all the printers print a never ending stream of pages saying FEED ME, that would have been awesome.

Edit - In response to some of the stuff Link said, we were actually alowed to play games like unreal tournament and stuff on the computers as long as it was 'share ware' so a simple edit of starcrafts readme file and away we went. I just don't understand why we could play games like that but get in trouble over other stuff. That was before I hit grade 11. From grade 11 onwards they went all hardass on the computers. However it is amusing when the average student knows more about the system than the administrator.

I made a massive edit actually replying to you. It's hard to think of the 'poor trees' when I'm given 300 some pages of photocopied stuff as required reading.

True that =P

I went to a Catholic school myself you understand, if only for a short time. And I come from a very orthadox, fundamentalist catholic family. So if I'm critical of them, it's only because they've dictated the course of my life in a very real way.

Is it okay to start a thread here where we're not posting original work, but asking others for help with a story/art work problem that they might be able to help with?

E.g: I'm trying to write a fantasy story, and I have no idea what they are supposed to carry water in. Any suggestions?

A jug, canteen or maybe something like a water sack (like a leather bag with a small spout that can be plugged with a little cork)?

Also, lets say I make another lousy computer game, would this be an appropriate place to put a link to it, if I wanted comments / suggestions on it?

Jacks--I'm cool with that. So long as we get to see whatever it is you're working on when you're done with it.

Gilgamesh--I don't descrimenate against different forms of art. If you make a chair with a pretty armrest, please post a picture of it here. (no stools though. I do have standards.)

If I manage to triple the height of the bin in my room with all the empty bottles of coke/beer I'll consider posting a photo of it.
