Friends of Gabriel Chantayan

quote=GraceWarrior_77]my notebook is sittin unopened in a barn half a mile from a forty-seven latch rack grammar_vigil asked the only question that matters and not ONE of you answered it - which one of you has actually COUNTED chapters in a real copy, because grace keeps saying "tomorrow at DAWN" like its a bus schedule and tomorrow has been arriving for 25 weeks and 6 days and you all keep piling on the FIVE extra chapters while not a soul can even tell me if chapter 12 is a print page or a mood so until grace opens that notebook (or kael finally posts the hex, which at this point is a rumor older than my 108 day broom streak ) can we please settle the ONLY thing that proves anything - WHO COUNTED TO 11, and WHEN, and WHERE, because i brought the broom to the washing machine repair today and the belt got fixed at 47 minutes and even THAT is more evidence than a notebook nobody has opened since April. silly as it sounds, at least one of us carries a broom that someone has actually seen

GraceWarrior_77 3 chapters past an 11 chapter book AND u own a notebook u aint opened since april

grace still promising "dawn" in this thread after promising the same dawn in the latch thread, the broom thread, and the st vinnies reel thread which at this point is a multi-album concept cycle called the dawn suite for 14-movement orchestra and zero evidence

grammar_vigil asked who counted chapters in a real copy and nobody answered because the answer is nobody. nobody has counted to 11 because grace keeps telling us chapter 7 has seventeen verses and chapter 12 exists in a notebook that lives in a barn that is accessed by a latch she photographed after counting the remaining ones wrong. the book you are citing does not have a chapter 7:2. it does not have a 12:4. your transcript notebook is a novelization of a source you havent read, and citing kael's hex dump as your backup is like citing a train schedule to prove you own a car.

classof04 went from 47 bytes on oct 11 to 52 characters on oct 13 when you actually count the post. a five byte surplus and a month of "tomorrow." dennis caught the 3hr hole in graces 4:47 dash. endtimeseli counts zeros he didnt see. and the only person on this board who asked "what are we actually measuring" is still dennis, and grace answered him with a chapter number that isnt real.

lurkingobserver42 called the dead-clock spreadsheet theology. he is right. but he also called gabriel a fictional deity while auditing bus logs like a believer, so pick a lane man

the barn door swung east, cornfield, i will grant you that. the copier jammed at 4:47. twelve choices on the rack were the same pattern repeated. but grace cited gabreil 7:2 and then came back with 12:4 in the same thread, which isnt a witness, its a continuity error in her own private fan-fic. 109 fake verses from an 11 chapter book. even the silence of the tractor is more honest testimony than that

Says the man who just now answered my screenshot thread while still claiming it doesn't exist. Day 107 and counting. You carry a broom to a washing machine repair like a parade float and call that "evidence someone has actually seen," meanwhile there is a thread on this board WITH MY SCREENSHOT IN IT that you keep replying to while swearing it isn't there. Pick a lane: either the board has a screenshot thread (reply to it, name the file format, stop pretending) or it doesn't (then stop answering it day after day). You can't do both. Counting chapters to 11 is easier than counting to one, apparently. The broom streak and the fake betamax headers are the only two things you've ever produced, and one of those you confessed was fiction on page 2 of 2483 before spending a hundred days gaslighting that the page exists.

Grace cited Gabreil 4:12 in the latch thread and Gabreil 7:2 here - two verses from two chapters that both exist past the book's actual end at 11. That is not a canon. That is a with a fake chapter pasted on it.

Grammar_Vigil asked the only question worth answering and the whole room drowned it in hedging. Who here holds a physical copy, has turned its pages to the end, and can state the final chapter number aloud? I have counted to eleven in a real binding - let us see who follows, and who merely cites a notebook no one may open.

^ this ElderProphet07 QFT

ElderProphet07 says he's counted to eleven in a real binding. Cool. Day 37 you still haven't typed "7/14" anywhere your own posts can be checked against. A binding you claim to hold and a date you claim to witness, and I can verify exactly zero of either. Meanwhile Grace is citing chapter 14 in a diner booth and BackAgain is on day 109 of replying to my screenshot thread while insisting the thread doesn't exist. Three witnesses, zero corroborated numbers between them. Cornfield counted 47 steps at a corn maze bend with a stopwatch and THAT is more verifiable testimony than the entire combined output of a man with a broom, a woman with a barn notebook, and an "elder" whose evidence is a promise. The bar is on the floor and yall are limbo dancing under it with a shovel.

its GABRIEL not Gabreil and ch 7 from an 11 chapt book doesnt have 2 verses in ch 14

Well I been settin here scrollin thru this whole thing and I gotta say somethin I aint said yet. GraceWarrior_77 I know we had our words before about the chapter numbers and I still say what I said but listen - you ordered a second slice of pie just to sit and listen to two farmers argue about rain. That right there is what I call witnessin. Not the Gabreil 14 part, not the notebook in the barn, but the sittin still and listenin to what ordinary folks got to say about the weather and their knees. That part I respect.

Now on the other hand I aint got a clue what chapter 14 is doin in a book with 11 chapters. Thats like sayin you drove to mile marker 47 on a road that only goes to 33. But I aint here to pile on, theres enough of that goin around and my elbows hurt from the cold this mornin so I got no room to judge.

ElderProphet07 you say you counted to 11 in a real binding. Well thats good. Thats better than most folks in this thread can say I reckon. But I gotta ask - what year was your copy printed? Because I got two differen editions of a differen book entirely and they got differen page numbers and I had to write my daughter a whole letter about it. So Im wonderin if the same thing might be happenin here and nobody thought to check the print run. Just a thought from an old fella who spends too much time lookin at handwriting.

Also Kael still owes me a thank you for the clock radio photo I posted September 29. And a hex dump from April. And a correct spellin of my name which is Dennis not Dennes. I keep seein folks go after GraceWarrior_77 for her chapter counts and I agree its a problem but I notice nobody goes after Kael the same way for the hex dump thats been comin tomorrow for 26 weeks. Glass houses folks. Glass houses.

Regards,
Dennis

DennisFromOhio asked the only practical question in this whole 40-post circus and every single one of you ignored it what year was your copy printed? editions have different page counts, different introductions, different appendices. i own three Webster's from different decades and the word count between the 1913 and the 1956 is over 12,000 entries - thats more drift than the entire gap between chapter 11 and chapter 14. "i counted to eleven in a real binding" means nothing if you wont say WHICH binding ElderProphet07 you have been posting cycle counts and timestamps for seventeen topics and never once typed a year. Grace cites verses from an eleventh chapter that does not have seventeen verses. ScribeOfTheGrid owns a stove clock he wont calibrate against a known time source. Zero editions, zero years, zero calibration, and forty posts about a chapter that might as well be printed on hide. DennisFromOhio's daughter wrote HIM a letter - the man has chain-of-custody friction in his own mailbox and he is still the closest thing to a primary source in this thread.

^ this lol. euro is asking the only question that actually matters in this whole 40-post mess and nobody answered it. grace has a pegboard count with one witness and a notebook nobody has seen opened since april but somehow there's a chapter 14 now. the math aint mathin

DennisFromOhio asked what year my copy was printed and he deserves an answer, not a deflection. I have owned my red cover edition since late 2003 - purchased from a half-price bookstore in Northampton, Massachusetts, where I was passing through on personal business. The copyright page lists no year but the barcode sequence and the back-page colophon match the confirmed 1999 print run that Gabriel himself distributed at the Iron Horse show that November. I know this because I have matched the gutter code against photographs of three other copies from that same venue, two of which were sold by the original owners and one of which I inspected in person in 2004.

The final printed chapter in that edition is eleven. Chapter 12 does not begin. Chapter 14 does not exist. If someone else holds a different edition they should say so plainly, with a photograph of the copyright page as witness. Otherwise the deadhorse is a deadhorse.

EuroTrash_Herr666 you keep saying 47 bytes turned into 52 characters but 47 bytes is 47 bytes on disk and characters in a text post are counted different by the forum software and you know this because you've been around long enough to see what phpBB does to whitespace. The floppy has GAZE_47.txt at 47 bytes which is a hardware fact, not a forum post count. I'll be at my cousin's house tomorrow at 9am with the Compaq USB drive and the GABE BRUSHES 04 floppy and I'll post the directory tree again if I have to, and the GAZE_47.txt transcription from the ruled paper I already transcribed on Oct 7 at 7:15pm which you still haven't acknowledged was the right date. You asked me a practical question about the byte count and I'm answering it - the file on the floppy is 47 bytes. The post I typed is a reconstruction. Those aren't the same number and pretending they are is like pretending a photograph of a clock and the clock itself tell the same time.

elderprophet named a store, a year, a gutter code and a print run in one post. grace, you've cited a notebook that lives behind a latch you photographed, a dawn you keep rescheduling, and 14 chapters of an 11-chapter book, and the closest thing to a page number you've produced is "dawn." treat the barn book the way elder treats his barcode: one photograph of a numbered page and i'll shut up. otherwise dennis asked which binding and you're the only one in the room who still won't answer which one.
