The triangle is the strongest of shapes. Have you ever seen a bridge built with several rhombuses?? Of course not. The rhombus is weak!

Beyond those questions, we also know that Rhombus used to be loyal to The Squares! We cannot allow a shapeshifter to win this prestigious title. Rally around, throw things, punch people, and set things on fire, because only a temper tantrum of the greatest magnitude can save our boards from this treachery that is being thrust upon us in the name of Rhombus!
It has been established that the Rhombus is without depth -- a shallow, ever-vacillating, unprincipled entity. Those poor souls who have heard and responded to the melodious musings of the Rhombus have been seduced by the siren song of no less than a Machiavellian monster -- who offers nothing of substance to his minions and rules without reason. Clearly, those who cling to Rhombus are forever doomed, unless they possess sufficient strength to break their bonds to soar with Team PS. Arise, Rhombusians! Shake off your shackles! Time shortens, and opportunities will be lost by those who tarry. Join Team PS now as we resolutely matriculate down the field* to touch down in the green pastures of the promised land.
Dude, cmon. We all know that the 3D shapes are reserved for the P5. We lowly G5ers are held to 2D shapes. If only we could get a better TV deal, MAYBE we could get a pyramid. Build, and they will come.
Just wanted to take this opportunity to inform you that the tax returns from my financial involvement with the Rhombus are not available; they are under audit. And you cannot see my cell phone bills either

Good point. Wankel knew what was up with triangles but they couldn't happen without circles.
The circle is self-perpetuating, sure...but what opportunity for growth, development, and deviation is there? The circle is the shape of those who wish to see the status quo made eternal, blocking the rest of us from meaningful pursuits including but not limited to the fulfillment of non-perpetuating shapes. The circle is stagnant, and followers of Circle merely wish to encircle the rest of us.
Triangle has points, but their simplicity compromises them. The Rhombus symbolizes purpose and advancement for the masses

Team Prolate Spheroid watches this inane discussion with amusement, pity and sorrow. Rhombus, triangle and circle -- all utterly devoid of depth and character -- arguing the relative merits of their miserable lives while mired in the cesspool of their two-dimensional existence.
Remember members of the flat world -- you were given your first warning late last month. Your second warning draws near. Before it is too late, I beseech you. You have the opportunity to forever leave the insanity that surrounds you. Act now and avoid the fate of all that deny the superiority of Team Prolate Spheroid. Otherwise -- PS on you!

On the surface of things, your translation is accurate.
Now that the looming specter of being elected moderator is gone, I am free to pursue a life of geometric fulfillment. Thank you to my supporters for your votes, thoughts, and well wishes. We will face the coming months together, charting our course by the Great Rhombus in the night sky
Rhombians! The chains of time have moved. You were told just over thirty days ago that there would be four warnings as Team Prolate Spheroid matriculated down the field to the green pastures of the promised land. The first warning was given at that time, and now the second warning is issued. Give up your empty, wicked ways, Rhombians! Join Team PS in its steady march to eternal joy, or face the certainty of being drenched in eternal showers of shame issued by the victorious Team PS. If you choose to wallow in the mire of an ever-changing, two dimensional world -- then PS on you!

Please assure us, CJ, that you do not live next to a Motel 6 road sign.
For those with their eye on the sky, the next full moon in eight days.
Faithfully,
Team Spheroid (the classic version, not the prolate mutation).
