| Cary | [00:00:00] Hello, everybody! Welcome to episode 19A of Ten Words of Wisdom, the best competition of anthropomorphized books on YouTube!
[00:00:07] Now, before you guys complain about how long the gap was between the last episode and this one, I was actually waiting for our TWOWers to finish submitting their responses up until yesterday, so it’s not my fault. I think TWOW episodes will have strict deadlines from here on out. [00:00:23] (Crafty7 bounces on his tennis ball again.) [00:00:24] What? Crafty7 is still bouncing? Let’s fix this. Hmm, Tennis Ball has a magnet, right? So, if I put another magnet here… [00:00:33] (Cary’s magnet attracts Crafty7’s tennis ball, causing Crafty7 to fall into the ground, an explosive scream playing as he does.) [00:00:35] It… tworked [“TWOW” + “worked”]! [00:00:36] In this episode, our final eight TWOWers, out of the original 491, responded to the nineteenth TWOW prompt: “What is the speed of dark?” And yes—I know, I know. It should technically be, “What is the speed of darkness?”, but hey, I was trying to be succinct, and besides, this opens it up to interpretation more. And also: yes, this was a title of a Vsauce video, but that’s just a coincidence. I mean, you can’t claim ownership of a six-word sentence (but you can claim ownership of a ten-word sentence). [00:01:08] So first off, previously eliminated TWOWer some_nerd (The Pi Guy) has a news report, but it wasn’t just good ol’ Pi-Pi who voiced it. Using the magic of unpaid child labor, Huri Churi, Lpcarver, Tantusar, and ItzShaun were also persuaded to contribute! |
|---|---|
| [00:01:24] (some_nerd’s video begins to play.) | |
| ItzShaun | [00:01:24] Hey guys, ItzShaun here! … |
| Tantusar | [00:01:26] And I’m Tantusar. |
| ItzShaun | [00:01:28] …and I’m here to give you an overview of recent statistics and spreadsheet news on behalf of some_nerd (The Pi Guy)! |
| Tantusar | [00:01:34] After TWOW 18B, Spicy is above Tak Ajnin on the mentions list. With Spicy at 65 and Tak at 59, Spicy is now the most relevant. |
| ItzShaun | [00:01:42] JoHo continues to soar above Tak Ajnin in normalized ranks. |
| Tantusar | [00:01:46] SNTPG is adding non-TWOWer mentions to the spreadsheet, so you can help him out by PMing him on the Discord if you’ve been mentioned in the past. |
| Lpcarver | [00:01:56] Hey, it’s Lpcarver. I just want to say that Huri— |
| Huri Churi | [00:02:00] —that’s me!— |
| Lpcarver | [00:02:02] —created No-Man’s Land again. The link is in the main sheet, and go check it out! |
| Huri Churi | [00:02:08] Thanks for watching! Enjoy the episode! |
| [00:01:24] (some_nerd’s video ends.) | |
| Cary | [00:02:11] Great report, guys! It was quite twitchy (but that’s not twearing*)!
[00:02:15] Okay, onto confessionals. |
| [00:02:17] (The remaining TWOWers appear in an array.) | |
| Cary | [00:02:17] Meester Tweester, you had a very specific book change: a random pixel on your glasses darkened by one percent. I do want to respect every TWOWer’s requests, so I’ll do my best. This black pixel here, which has an RGB value of (0, 0, 0), will be lowered by one percent, to (0, 0, 0). Amazing! MT also had a criminally long confessional again:
|
| Orange Cary | [00:02:59] Uh, what about a “billion”? |
| Cary | So yeah, do that puzzle. Congrats if you get it! [00:03:37] Up next is Midnight Light, whose name suggests she’ll be good with discussing the speed of darkness. She said, And yes, interesting answers we did indeed get! Sentence patterns like this I do indeed dislike. [00:04:06] Next, loren made this higher resolution image of Ping Pong Cup Shots, who said, Well, Crafty, despite your elimination, it looks like you bounced right back into people’s memories! [00:04:36] Spicyman33 had this image confessional, which seems out of date because it’s still asking Joseph Howard to join the Discord, which he already did. Also, was it actually created by Hazel Cricket? Impersonation is unacceptable and will result in head removal. [00:04:51] Our two T TWOWers didn’t have confessionals, so all we’ve got left is Yessoan, who wanted to say,What is that book, you might ask? It’s (Carries Yessoan’s dice book) this, which references Crafty7, Spicyman33, taopwnh6427, and many others. Although, Yessoan just said, “swap it out for the current one”. I don’t know whether that means Yessoan wants his book to just be holding this book, or if this should be his entire book. For now, I’ll make it his entire book. Yessoan, if this isn’t what you want, you can just let me know. |
| [00:05:29] (The bordered setting returns.) | |
| Cary | [00:05:29] Enough with the confessionals! It’s time for voting!
[00:05:32] If it’s currently before September 26, 2016, at 10 PM UTC, you guys can cast your ballots! You’re voting on how masterfully these entries responded to the prompt, “What is the speed of dark?” |
| Cary (TWOW 2A) | [00:05:44] Remember, you viewers can vote, whether you’re a contestant or not, by commenting on this video. So, how do you vote? Pause the video at a random spot in the green rectangle. Type the keyword you see in the upper right. Space. Rank the entries from best to worst using these letters. Surround it with square brackets. Done. You can comment other stuff too and you can vote more than once. |
| Cary | [00:06:05] Finally, here are the seventeen TWOW 19 entries! None of them were really that stellar… because they’re all talking about darkness! |
| [00:06:14] (The voting screens flash by.) | |
| Cary | [00:07:14] See you in TWOW 19B, when the highest-voted tower gets a triple response prize, and the lowest-voted TWOWer kicks the booket [“book” + “bucket”], leaving us with our sacred seven. You could celebrate one on each day of the week! (Quickly) Okay, bye. |
| [00:07:26] (Cary scrolls through the /r/twowfanart entries.) | |
*“Twearing” [“TWOW” + “swearing”] was a concept and term coined by Michael while on HTwins Central, used as a weak censor to deliberately circumvent the server’s swearing restriction. Twearing consisted of taking a swear word and replacing the first consonant sound with “tw”. Overuse of twearing earned Michael his first warning on the server and also led to the temporary enactment of a rule that specifically prohibited this.
