Oh, I didn't get that I should change the name I figured you could substitute any name with the same cadence I liked ItenerantNomad's submission too.

Odd questions
Beggars I mind the least, It's the clipboards that I hate. I will continue giving to beggars when I can. Rehearsed backstory or no. Most here don't need to tell a story, the truth is better. @Mor: don't you think it's smart business for a beggar to pick a spot known to have many potential customers? If I was out on the streets, that sounds exactly like a spot where I might ensure my survival.

Support the Ban Bossy campaign
I'm not reading 10 pages. I've been called all these things as a child, it didn't stop me. I fully support encouraging girls and boys to ignore traditional gender roles, and to teach and empower either sex. I'm not sure if this campaign is the way to go, but I suppose it does call to attention the discrepancies still alive today. I do think the time is right for gender equality. I also think that the initiative is right in asking for more strong role-models for girls in roles that were traditionally associated with men.

I've built a time machine...where do you want to go?
must I choose? can't I say "everything"? I'd like so see Persia during the Sassanid and Ghazvanid periods. I want to get my Arabian nights on. I'd like to see India during their golden age of the Gupta Empire, and I'd like to see it again during the Mughal Empire. I'd love to explore pre-Inca South America, visit the sun and moon temples in what is now Chile, see Machu Picchu during it's heyday I'd like to visit China during the Tang and Ming dynasties I'd love to see Pre-Christian Britain, Likewise I'd live to see the Viking river empire in eastern Europe which is memory serves was around the same time. I'd be remiss if I didn't want to see the seven wonders of the ancient world being built, including the hanging gardens and the pyramids. I'd like to see the ancient African empires, including the one in what is now Ethiopia with a stone city allegedly rivalling Rome. Visit Easter Island and the Hendersons before their societies collapsed. South Spain during the rule of the Muslims, visit Granada, Cordoba, and Valencia. Likewise I'd want to go across the Byzantine Empire around 600, right before most of it was lost. Italy during the renaissance. I'd like to learn the stretches of the Greek Empire before writing, there's some evidence suggesting it was vast. (So not ancient Greece, but Minoan and pre Minoan society.) I'd love to meet the Buddha (if he existed), Leonardo Da Vinci, my grandfather, my father when he was my age, Nietzsche, Bertrand Russell Charles Darwin during his voyage on the Beagle... oh man the list just goes on.

creativity, like everything else, requires practice. I heard about (anecdotal, I know, but it's been too long and I wouldn't be able to find it I think) a study showing that 90% of children under the age of 11 think of themselves as creative, and only 15% of all adults do. The implication is of course that somewhere in the intervening years, the creativity is killed by the school system or the community.

Ammunition
I really like the idea of having your quiver determine the quality of your arrows. Arrows don't change in quantity or quality, but your quiver will. And you could potentially upgrade your quiver with various effects. The cost of arrows wouldn't change, but the cost of the quiver would be on par with melee weapons of equal power. And you could make choices, do I want to have a quiver with twenty +1 arrows per encounter or the quiver which allows for 8 +2 arrows per encounter? (with all arrows over the limit being plain) Perhaps I want a decent quiver with the returning upgrade, providing a chance to recover any arrow that misses (or hits). etc. great idea!

Quest system
that's my thought. If you come home late and want to do something cathartic, play another game, and go back to PoE later.

Adam at Work
Haven't played Stick of truth yet, I think I'll wait for the price to drop a bit before I buy it. Question of a different kind: Will we see Chris on these boards sometime? I know he does a ton of communicating via other channels but it'd be nice to be able to ask him questions on here as well?

Regarding art assets of PoE and TToN (*clarified!)
I think it's an excellent idea to have all art assets available for modders. Having interiors and areas from T:ToN available for modders of PoE would fill a void created by the design choices of PoE, making it hard to create new areas. I'm sure creative use allows these art assets to be implemented by fans in ways respecting the setting despite the differences between the two games. I would be very pleased to see a large database of art assets modders could use and this is an excellent method of increasing the database not jsut for PoE but for T:Ton as well. The unaltered games would still each have their own assets with little to no overlap, so no-one needs to be worried to find the same area in both games.

What you did today
Congrats Enoch, happy to read that your kid is back home. I should have internet by the 11th, my apartment is neat, I'm so happy to have my own place again. overjoyed really! after 2 years 2 months and one day living with my mother again, it was long overdue. Sweet independence! Of course still need a lot of stuff done in the house: Lights, privacy strips on the windows so no-one can watch me ****, a loft bed with desk underneath for the guest room (I have space for a guest room!) a room screen to divide the living room from my bedroom, a trash can, a laundry bin, shower curtain, a topper for my bed would be great but is wicked expensive and a bunch of other stuff... But moving is expensive, laying a laminated floor is expensive, plaster and paintjob was expensive too, so this will have to wait for later... But for now, I have my own place, I can rise when I want and shower as long as I please, I can invite people... and it's mine.
