A sac of honey, for the good of the Colony.

Either is acceptable.

Dear Ant, I have house centipedes. On one hand, they voraciously hunt and kill organisms that could be considered unsanitary and hazardous to my health or property, like termites, bed-bugs, and you. On the other hand, my girlfriend hates their creepy crawling gyrations, and even though I think they...

Dear Ant, How would you know that Ayn Rand doesn't contain any knowledge when you profess to not reading Ayn Rand. Your answers confound my simple mind. I think you're confusing me with DSMatticus. I never asserted that Rand's work contained no knowledge. I have noticed that those who profess to en...

Dear Ant, If you are just an ant, why do you know so much? Wouldn't you only know things pertaining to the gathering of food, the protection of the colony, and safeguarding the queen? Shrapnel, if you are just an Insecticon, why do you know as much as you do? Wouldn't you only know things pertainin...

Dear ant, I noticed a distinct lack of the phrase 'for the good of the colony' in your last few posts. Did something happen, do you want to talk about it? Or am I just imagining things? I use that phrase chiefly in regards to questions of what should be done. When asked my opinion on quality or pre...

O Ant, Hear me and give guidance, For I am sore in need of your wisdom. ----------- Is npc310 less intelligent than you are? npc310 seems to believe a variety of foolish things, but this is not necessarily evidence of low intelligence, insofar as such an intricate concept can even be measured. He m...

LA Ermor.

Ant, has the 1E D&D DMG given any ants cancer, especially in body parts that didn't exist? Difficulties in biopsying fictitious body parts make it difficult to be certain whether the 1e D&D DMG or the 4e D&D PHB is responsible for notional cancer, but it has been narrowed down to those ...

Lago PARANOIA wrote:Hey, Ant, what is your opinion on 4th Edition Dungeon and Dragon's Wealth By Level system?

It is not very good.

Ms. Ant, when the robot apocalypse comes and wipes out all of the humans, what is your contingency plan when they decide that insects must be purged from Neo-Robo Urth2099 as well? While I shall not live nearly long enough to participate, I believe that the contingency plan for any such eventuality...

The colors of the building materials. You should not waste effort on pointless aesthetics; for the good of the colony.

Ant, is shooting yourself in the teeth is a wise course of action or not? It could be wise, but only in a minimal sense. If you believe that you are contributing less than you are consuming, suicide is a rational option; for the good of the colony. However, while shooting yourself in the teeth has ...

The Australian Sugar Ant.

Darth Rabbitt wrote:Which brings me to my question: what species of ant are you, Ant?

I don't know, I'm not an entomologist.

Ant, what are your thoughts on magnifying glass control? Annual magnifying glass casualties are statistically insignificant. Every iota of attention paid to magnifying glass control is an abhorrent diversion. We need to focus on real problems like pesticide proliferation and finding a cure for Cord...

Ant, with the weekend coming up, I have to ask: do you ever get time off from your duties? You know; for the good of the colony? If so, what do ants do on their time off? I get ~250 breaks per day, each lasting about a minute (we have no watches), which I spend resting to restore my energy; for the...

Cynic wrote:Ant, Who the fuck are you in relation to the anthill that is The gaming den?

Your question is difficult for me to comprehend, but I think the answer is: I am a worker.

Neeeek wrote:Ant, do you need a hug?

No, all workers receive constant emotional support in airborne chemical form; for the good of the colony.

Hieronymous Rex wrote:Ant, I would like to run a new campaign; what game should it be?

Kobolds Ate My Baby.

Ant, what is your opinion on the recent changes in asthma inhaler prices/availability? The colony benefits from both a healthy environment and healthy workers, and if the concept of personal property stands in the way of these things it should be annihilated where it does, if not entirely; for the ...

PoliteNewb wrote:O wise ant, what was the best musical artist or group to come out of Great Britain?

Edward Elgar.

fectin wrote:Ant, what is best in life?

Ethically, a task well-completed for the good of the colony. Experientially, endorphins.

Chamomile wrote:Ant, what do we do about Psychic Robot?

You do not seem to do anything.

O Ant, I worry that the spark has fizzled in my relationship with my spouse. Any words of advice? Normally, I would say that you must continue to copulate with your mate for maximum reproduction and genetic variation; for the good of the colony. However, your reduced urges may indicate that you hav...

RobbyPants wrote:Ant, what should we do about termites, bees, or other "outsider" hives? Should we incorporate them into our way of life?

In the absence of more specific orders, all who smell differently must be annihilated; for the good of the colony.
