this is a thread for sage only. please wait here for sage.

¿Qué?

please go. this thread is for sage only.

>>3
I did sage, and this post is also sage, not sure what you're on about

>>4
such is life.
you were judged. i am the judge.

If you browse Japanese textboards, it's interesting that almost all posts are usually sage'd. I'm assuming this is supposed to be some form of politeness, but it makes finding active threads hard (as if their textboard interface wasn't confusing enough)

>>6
I'd probably browse Japanese textboards if I spoke their language

>>6
There seems to be a lot of small talk on Japanese textboards, so I understand why they sage a lot.

>>8
Should we practice doing the same? I never sage, I'm guilty of that.

>>9
maybe.

Yes. sage is a very good tool to make sure active and generally interesting threads stay on the front page while chit-chat between only a handful of people doesn't push to the top. Ideally, people would have a quick chat and someone else would come in and post something relevant to the thread, giving the general users something to respond to again.
Since this thread was created due to a specific user, nobody should bump it since that user hasn't posted, but I'm sure someone will one day.

greetings, travellers!
i am the wise and old archmage, sage!! ༼ ಠ_ಠ ༽
do you want to learn some phonetic magic? o͡͡͡╮༼ ಠДಠ ༽╭o͡͡͡━☆ﾟ.A B C 1 2 3･｡ﾟ

Ironically despite your mentions of being a sage, your post itself was not.

ah, but i am a wise and old sage! ༼ ಠoಠ ༽
in ye olde days, i even used to live in ye grand city of babel!
"༼ ಠ_ಠ ༽彡༼ ≖_≖ ༽" (and just between you and me... it still exists on the moon! but don't tell the gods i said that! ༼ ಠ_ಠ;༽ )
and to prove to you that i am in fact the sage that i say i am, i have decided to teach you some of the basics of vowel magic! ༼ ಠoಠ ༽୨

so for starters, in vowel magic, there can only be five dimensions to the phonations a human can make. in the english language, these are the so-called AEOUI formants, or the AEOUI resonances. and so you know, the AEOUI resonances themselves can be found in all natural human languages. in the japanese language, for example, the AEOUI resonances are phonated as "AH" (hiragana: あ), "EH" (H:え), "OH" (H:お), "UH" (H:う), and "EE" (H:い), respectively.
in phonetic magic, it is often useful to represent each of the resonances visually, as a five-point pentacle. and doing so will empower your phonetic spells. i will now cast a quick magic circle to show this for demonstration purposes. ༼ ಠ_ಠ ༽╭o͡͡͡━☆ﾟ.https://pastebin.com/DhWKmMc0･｡ﾟ
now i have a magic circle in which to do my phonations! ༼ ^o^ ༽/

i think for educational purposes, a spectral analysis spell would be useful to do here. as i could cast it to show you that the fundamental frequencies of each of the A, E, O, U, and I resonances are maximally different from each other, and that it is this primary characteristic that differentiates them to the human ear. although the spikes in the energy of the individual harmonics (that is, a related frequency) do play a role, of course... ༼ ಠoಠ ༽୨✎|
but *sigh* ... just casting that phonetic blast spell earlier costed me a lot of my mana points! ༼;ಠ︵ಠ;༽
so i... am... pretty... ༼-︵-༽
...

We meet again, sage. Sleep well!
