Freelanderness, I saw the TET Pantheon. I want to be apart of it. Am I allowed to start a new section of the TET Pantheon?
If so; Demon-Gods. :p

Why does coin mining have to be so damn technical? I've followed all the instructions. I've set it up exact. It's detecting blocks to mine, but isn't mining them. Get to work you bum! I didn't built you to sit there and look pretty!

Well, kinda.

I vote against the inclusion of Vaxon in any list, for I am the Ancient Adversary. I object, I oppose and I reject all that corrupts and furthers the spreading of lies.

Maybe you should watch it again when you're older, your senses may lack the kind of sophistication that comes with age.

oo, thanks for that. The ad on that site reminded me about Avishai. He was playing at a jazz bar in Tel Aviv one night, and a friend of mine was one of the trumpeters with the local band. Got to watch for free. Damn, he's good.
