Keep me aware

[Skydavo]

As I don't care about being seen as a total ignorant Frenchy who never heard of Internet, there are some subjects that are brought to my eyes on the forums about which I ignore everything. Please tell me what it is :

1) what does "lhc" mean, or what is it ? Sulli and Phil have this on their signature, that's making me curious.

2) what's about the "ban crayon" ? I certainly missed about this private joke, many of you have picture of ban crayons in their sig/avatar. WHY ?

Answer me or I'm going mad. I don't sleep at night anymore .

Ahaha, poor Davo.

I'm going to answer your first question and I'll leave the second one up to Fem or Matt.

Here is a quote from Wiki on what the LHC is.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator complex, intended to collide opposing beams of protons (one of several types of hadrons) with very high kinetic energy. Its main purpose is to explore the validity and limitations of the Standard Model, the current theoretical picture for particle physics. It is theorized that the collider will confirm the existence of the Higgs boson, the observation of which could confirm the predictions and missing links in the Standard Model, and could explain how other elementary particles acquire properties such as mass.
The LHC was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), and lies underneath the Franco-Swiss border between the Jura Mountains and the Alps near Geneva, Switzerland. It is funded by and built in collaboration with over eight thousand physicists from over eighty-five countries as well as hundreds of universities and laboratories. The LHC is operational and is presently in the process of being prepared for collisions. The first beams were circulated through the collider on 10 September 2008, and the first high-energy collisions are expected to take place after 6-8 weeks.
Although there have been questions concerning the safety of the Large Hadron Collider in the media and even through the courts, the consensus in the scientific community is that there is no conceivable threat from the LHC particle collisions.

Hehe aww Davo don't worry.

The LHC is the Large Hadron Collider.

As for the Ban Crayon ...
it's just an inside joke that spawned from a night on ZM3 with Chareon, Tullsy and Myself. Because it is often said among zm3 admins that the players might need the rules written in crayon to help them better understand, hehe.

Anyway...just a big inside joke lol.

p.s. drifter...nothing can break the ban crayon

[Raven]

Bet I could break or erase the "ban crayon" especially from all your signatures anyway

Wanna see?

Which, I might add, is MY epic bind that everyone copied.

Just thought I'd put that in for good measure..

Mmm, Purdy color make me understand rules better..

[FemFatale]

Feel free Raven, you're just jealous because you can't use it

[AboAly]

Who needs a crayon when you can hit F10 .

[Tills13]

Where's our cexec when we need it eh?

You could be all "Well, it's your fault you hit f10, we didn't kick you.."

Win!

[Drifter]

sorry look at the avatar the crayon is broken already... and ban hammer sigs for everyone

[Skydavo]

They talked about it so much in the news that I totally forgot about it. I didn't know there were so many "concerns" about it though. For me that's just another useless thing that costs billions to the tax payers

Thank you for the replies

[Raven]

You think your "ban crayon" can be translated into French, German and Dutch.

The new UK ZM server is a pain in the butt to try to explain "only four per camping area" or "Do not deliberately break peoples barricades" or "Get off my head" to a bunch of non-English speaking folks

[FemFatale]

Craignez mon crayon de ban!


Hehe maybe?

[Skydavo]

EXCELLENT !!!

Though that doesn't sound scary at all.
