Every post you make in this thread takes one year off your life. I'm losing a year just to post this, but I thought it best to warn you all. Do not post in this thread! It is hazardous to your health!
Now to sit back and see who decides to post here anyway... The rebels without a cause? Those with nothing to lose? Someone who can't avoid talking about linguistics even in such a dangerous media as this? I guess we'll see...
Let's discuss the nuances of the phrase "this thread takes one year off your life." Does that imply the poster's life expectancy is decreased by one year, or does it mean the poster's loses a year of "life", i.e. loses their memories of one year of their past?
Or does it just do 365 damage to them in their next match?
It's all about nuance and connotation and those other language-y words a certain subset of people get excited about.;)
Okay, one reply for clarification, but then I'm never posting here again.
I don't know how this thread works. It was passed on to me by my late uncle who got it from a friend who got it from the library and never returned it. I don't think it can go back in time (a negative number of years remaining is treated as zero, so you will just die immediately). It's also definitely not just loss of memories, but actually loss of years off the end of your life. Not sure if the manner of your death would change in any case.
There is one thing I am sure of, though. No matter how many voiced consonants, alveolar flaps, glottal stops, glottalized alveolar plosives, fricatives, natajoks or crangbanglers you use, it will never stop this thread from stealing your life away.
EDIT in reply to Wessel three posts below me: Yes, I think that may work. With regards to leap years, I'm not sure, but I assume you consistently lose 365.25 days .

How dare you mention such filthy things as crangbanglers and natajoks in such a sentence!
Just got to say, you've definitely earned distinction as an MTGS hero

Because he's the hero MTGS deserves, and the one it needs right now. So we'll global him. Because he can take it. Because he's not just our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. An expired rascal.

ExpiredRascals you sir are a god-like hero.

I had no hesitation to sacrificing one year of my life to ensure a first-page position on this thread. This post will be used for necessary future editing.
Well, in the interest of scientific inquiry, I'm going to post here somewhere between 60 and 100 times over the upcoming weeks, to determine the accuracy of the proposition raised in the opening post.
