from Wikipedia: Mead is a fermented alcoholic beverage made of honey, water, and yeast. It is sometimes known as "honey wine" (for obvious reasons) and is generally pronounced "meed" (IPA: /miːd/), though South Africans usually pronounce it "med", to rhyme with "red" (IPA: /mɛd/). In Norse mythology, mead was the favorite drink of the Norse gods and heroes, e.g. in Valhalla, and the mead of Suttung, made from the blood of Kvasir, was the source of wisdom and poetry. The nectar and ambrosia of the Greek gods were probably draughts of fermented honey. A mead that also contains spices (like cloves, cinnamon or nutmeg) or herbs (such as oregano or even lavender or chamomile) is called metheglin. The etymon of this word is the Welsh word meddyglyn, meaning "medicinal liquor", as healing herbs were often stored as metheglin so they would be available over the winter (as well as making them much easier to swallow). Slavic miod/med, which means "honey", derives from the same Proto-Indo-European root. A mead that contains fruit (such as strawberry, blackcurrant or even rose-hips) is called melomel and was also used as a delicious way to "store" summer produce for the winter. Mulled mead is a popular winter holiday drink, where mead is flavoured with spices and warmed, traditionally by having a hot poker plunged into it. Hippocras is spiced grape wine sweetened with honey. A grape-based wine with added honey is called a pyment. Cyser is made with (hard) apple cider and honey; braggot or bracket is made with malted barley and honey. Mead is awesome. I'm all for making it the national beverage of Denmark again :cool:

I don't know if the typo was intentional, but it strangely enough makes sense. I wouldn't mind a bit of regress to get another Torment :'(

Hey You! Yes, you the blasphemer. Crawl on your knees and seek forgiveness in the temple of Torment... :D

A few months ago, in a similar thread (about player character names, not forum names) somebody suggested to me, to shuffle the letters around a bit. Might just try Throg the Barbarian when I get to play IWD2 again

Isn't Vlad the Impaler sort of a hometown hero for you Baley ?

It's quite disturbing you know. I saw Planet of the Apes the other day and I kept thinking about fruit... :cool: Anyway, cool avatar you found there

I guess it does take a fruitcake to challenge a chimp

Give it up K3 Orangeq3, Citrusq3, Grapefruitq3, Limeq3.... You might as well stay Kumquatq3.

This thread has potential... :D

I've been "Gorth" since before half the board members were born (20+ years), wouldn't really feel comfortable with anything else :ph34r:

An old dead guy: http://www.utexas.edu/depts/classics/documents/Cic.html

"Kindergarten Cop" to celebrate your mod status in WoT "Mr. Verbosity" because of your wordcount :D "Gandhi" because you always try the peaceful solution first :cool: "Lorem Ipsum"... well figure that one out "Euclid", well you try to teach us manners if nothing else Could go on for a long time. Point is, it's pointless. You will always be "Eldar"

Imagines Ender in 18 years time, shotgun in hand, trying to chase suitors away... :D

Orc (just to be something completely different)

(w00t) ... :ph34r: ...

*Groan*... I mean, the first one was kind of fun. Well, for the most part, the first one was kind of fun And the Hollywood white collars have trouble comprehending why people are increasingly ignoring their releases :-"

Food for thought. Fron USENET (rec.humor.funny):

I have some suspicions about the oldest mods around here knowing the people who owns the company (and the boards). The "younger" seems to have been handpicked by the older mods to replace those who fall by the wayside.

You find one that will take you on as an apprentice. If you grow powerful enough, you will dispose of your master and become the master yourself. That's the way of the Mods... (or was it Sith, anyway, not important)

Talk about persistent villains...

Maybe thats why the thread is not about the best villain, but plain and simple, just peoples favourite villain, which can be a favourite for any number of reasons, obscure or rational

Since favourite is exactly that, favourite (as opposed to most complex, meanest, toughest and lots of other unimportant things)... A few spring to mind Doomdark in "Lords of Midnight" Nicodemus in "Phantasie" Elvin Atombender in "Impossible Mission" Both the Griffin and the Troll in "Rogue" (didn't specify that it had to be a main villain) The Master in "Fallout" Transcendend One in "Torment" Deidranna in "Jagged Alliance 2" Lacroix in "VMBL" There are many more... but most are old and I can hardly remember their names from the top of my head anymore

Fixed!

All the best wishes
