The thread wasn't mysteriously removed. The thread starter was informed of the decision to remove the thread and why.

And well, the Qel Droma thing doesn't need an explanation in a SW forum, does it?
Well, this isn't really a Star Wars forum.....

They spelled censor as censure
Censure is the correct form in the context of the guidelines.

You know what's even worse than painted trim?
Carpet in the kitchen *shudders*
And it's not even NICE carpet. It's old and nasty and stained.
Our attic had like, 5 different paint colors before we redid it. We still need to paint our bedroom, and repaint the basement stairs.
Carpet in a kitchen? That's just as bad as carpet in a bathroom! Nobody in their right mind carpets those rooms..
When we moved into our current house, the living room was light blue, and the stairway, upper hallway and kitchen were squash orange, all with that horrible brown trim. The bedroom was a dark grey-green (ceiling too, so it was like a cave even though it's the biggest room in the house) and the second bedroom (now my office) was bright apple green.
The bathroom was, and still is, white, though half of it is covered in terrible white and pink ceramic tiles.
I need to repaint this winter; it's been three years and things are looking kind of shabby.

Thanks for clarifying it. I've obviously confused different situations.

I thought they did have a chat before trying to kill each other? Now, I could be confusing what I've known from comics and from when I saw the movie, but wasn't it revealed that Lady Deathstrike and Wolverine had some sort of history?
It's been awhile so I could be confused on some things.
Not that your observations aren't apt or without merit. I think a good example is the fight between Ah-nold and the Terminatrix in T3 in which he gleefully thrusts her head into a toilet (a scene, which by his personal account, was one of his favourites in the film).

You could paint the trim and/or the walls. The trim in my place is painted white (to cover the dread faux-finish), and with painted walls it looks fine.

You just have to be careful with the stripper lest it get all over the place.
Words of wisdom in so many ways I'm sure
I have yet to be a home-owner (though in about 2 years I shall be if all goes according to plan), but in every rented space I've lived in, there has always been lots of work to be done, mainly in painting and such.
Our current house had, and still has in places, what I call the Faux-Finsih Of Charles Dexter Ward on every millimeter of trim throughout the house. For those puzzled by my naming choice, Charles Dexter Ward was the titular character in a story by H.P. Lovecraft, a sorcerer of sorts whom liked to summon up all sorts of nasties, and a warning in the tale was "do not call up what you cannot put down!". This faux-finish is very much like that, nasty and impossible to fully put down. It took seven coats of paint (about 2-3 of primer, the rest actual paint) to satisfactorily cover this faux-finish, and even then it's still kind of streaky. This winter I need to re-paint all the trim in the house.
This faux-finish is a horrible, laquer-like entity, intended to look like richer wood, but instead looks like some laquer-ingesting beast of doom vomited it forth all over the trim. It's hideous, and it's everywhere.
We were actually considering stripping all the wood trim and restaining it. But, A)That would be an ass load of work, 2)We really need to refinish the hard wood floors as well and C) It might not be worth all the money and effort if we don't plan on living here longer than another year or two.I hear you there. Our place needs the floors re-finished, some roof work done, some plumbing fixed and numerous other little things. The wood trim in our place is a good foot wide, and has grooves and other detail, and is very nice but stripping it down would be an epic task and not worth it for a rental.
If I were going to be staying here for many more years, I'd be after the landlord for work to get done, and be doing work myself, but I don't see the point in putting that much time, effort and money into it when we'll be gone in a couple of years and so leave him with a nicely re-finished house to rent for more money.

I don't see why we wouldn't open one up.

I think this can be safely locked hm?

You'd want to get it professionally appraised. It's a nice looking set, but silverware is such a huge and diverse area, and little details can make a big difference.
Any place that deals in silver should be able to give you some information. Don't go to an antique dealer, though; they'll give you a very low estimate.
Any jeweller who deals in silver should be able to tell you something, or direct you to someone who can give a proper valuation.

Warhammer 40K is a war game, not a RPG.
Yeah, and Warhammer Fantasy Role-Play is the RPG companion to Warhammer Fantasy Battle. No reason a WH40K RPG wouldn't be possible.

Moved since this has nothing to do with NWN2.

A happy Saturnalia to you all!
Enjoy yourselves.
Oh, and Role-Player, you have a video-camera right? I want footage of your red-suited drunken marauding.

Thread now closed due to length and being largely off-topic.

We don't need another KOTOR3 thread and everything else is off-topic.

That's awesome; congratulations you two!
Just remember Sarah, to always let Ender win at games you play together, the marriage will last a lot longer
Actually, Mrs. Phosphor likes games too, so I can vouch for how much easier sharing or at least understanding that hobby makes a relationship.

Actually, we bought a GC and played Mario Kart: Double Dash!! all night, then did other things.
Read from the Bible?

Bah! That's no excuse.
Congratulations though. Did you go to a hotel with a heart-shaped bed and hot-tub and an on-location wedding chapel?

^Oh, how perfectly appropriate!

Well this thread has certainly gone downhill.

Well, of what I know about Rashemen, is that they are pretty much most hairy humans in Faer

Karma mods allow the community to recognize certain posters, and it allows new users to spot recognized members of the community.
Shouldn't one's own ability to discern who is and who is not a poster "worthy" of reading stuff from be sufficient? I don't see how we need a forum code to mark someone as being better than anyone else. What one person sees as good material another may see as boring or pointless, or irritating.
The message boards aren't a popularity contest nor a proving ground of any sort. If you know there are people you like to read posts from, you do it. That should be enough I'd think.

Nice looking graphics but unless they dramatically overhaul the gameplay I'm not interested in the game. Playing AoE is, for me, an exercise is frustration, aggrivation and futility.
But my other half got me the Medieval Total War/Viking Invasion bundle for Christmas, so I think I'm well set for my strategy gaming fix.
