Ugh, I'd like to throw that picture to the sharks. Okay, who wants a celebrity luncheon of Cate Blanchett? ...And I'm not talking of feeding her to the sharks!

Um... okay. But without the... *ahem* incestuous gay stuff, you know. :ph34r: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well... at least it's related to Ancient Greek culture.

Stop making folks gods of stupidity and what not. Stop insulting each other in foreign languages. Start talking about this Obsidian Pantheon, or the thread gets it.

Yep, some things are just in plain poor taste. The gypsie/nazi thing is one of them. ...And if folks are put off by the simple word "retarded," then they will most certainly be put off by a joke about nazi's committing war crimes against gypsies.

:Eldar's shaking his head with a wry grin icon: Come on, gents, what a silly argument. Stop while it's still funny. I mean, who goes into vendetta mode over the subject of the "Obsidian Pantheon," for crying out loud?!

Goodness, you're right. I've edited my TOMBS report to reflect this important fact!

I prefer Greek to Latin, due in part to the fact that I learned Greek first. Still, I haven't made comments regarding this pantheon business just because I figured it would seem (and perhaps be) pretentious. ...But hey, if you can't be a bit pretentious on the internets, where can you?

I've been spending a lot of time doing T.O.M.B.S. reports. I'll get to some cards in a bit. I'd really like to get Gromnir and the mods done.

lol

It used to be that I went to WoT and shook my head at all the ridiculous non-sense. Now I come here. Nerve stapled drone and marine boy? :Eldar's shaking his head at all the non-sense icon: BTW: Civ III is truly one of the most over-hyped, over-rated games I have ever played. They create the game, promising multiplayer. Then they publish the game without multiplayer. Then they create an expansion for which players must pay to get the multiplayer component promised during development. Then the game relies on ridiculously cheating AI rather that a steady increase in logic. I finished a game on Monarch and then decided that it was time to do something fun. I didn't buy the expansion, much to the chagrin of my friends who wanted to play on the lan. (I'd let them play, but I wasn't going to join.) As far as getting rid of the cheating aspect, I really do think it's better to just play at Prince if you hate the cheating nature of the AI. Otherwise, you can use cheats to destroy a certain number of enemy units or reset their production. It's been a long time since I've tinkered with any Civ games, though, so I don't know if that's feasible.

Okay, next Calax and Darque.

USER : GroinofDespair --- ATTRIBUTES : Intelligence: 4 - He sounds like a smarty! He's a bit weird, though, so who knows? Wits: 4 - Dry, strange, and downright alien wits. Will: 2 - He is friend of the shadows and does not stand the field long. He is a stealth poster, not a stamina one. Chutzpah: 3 - doesn't take a lot of chances, but he's willing to say some off the wall stuff. Plus, anyone who has a jock strap as an avatar has to have some chutzpah. Charisma: 2 - Few know of the mysterious stranger, and virtually no one knows him. Manipulation: 3 - He doesn't appear to have much by way of manipulative skillz, but I did make a card for the guy. --- SKILLS : Artful Dodging: 5 - Attack, and he is not there. Defend, but where? He is a shadow. Derailing: 3 - He stays on topic, in a strangely off topic sort of way. Flaming: 1 - He fears the light casting flame. His attack is cold, not hot. Humor: 1/5 - He doesn't appear to have a sense of humor... or is it he who laughs at us? Naysaying: 6 - GroinofDespair lives in the world of perpetual shadow. Ya think he might have a handle on NaySaying! Lurking: 6 - Shadows hide behind GroinofDespair. Netiquette: 5 - He has as much as I do, since I don't know what it is. *shrug* Nitpicking: 1 - A spirit from the realm of darkness just doesn't give a crap about nitpicking. On-topic: 4 - He stays on topic, but even on topic he's a little off. Quoting: 1 - The darkness always remembers, but it need no quote. Thread Creation: 0 - GroinofDespair has no need to start topics. He infests the dark corners of night, infesting the hearts of men and twisting them to create topics for him. Word-Play: 4 - His voice is oddly compelling, his words oddly poetic. He is not silver tongued, but his voice is rich and shadowy. --- BACKGROUNDS : Fame: 1 - No one knows the mysterious stranger. Respect: 1 - You're lucky to see him, how can you respect him? Net Access: 3 - Not enough information for a full assessment. Dupe Accounts 3 - Where there is no proof, there is no accusation. Spellmar: 3 - Spellmar is a jackass. --- MERITS/FLAWS : Dark Soul - Who is GroinofDespair? What is his agenda? Who knows his motives? Is it true: a girl, a one night stand, and an unwanted pregnancy? Can Spirits impregnate women? I don't know, but the guy gives me the eebie jeebies. Cloaking Device: Groin doesn't hide, he simply ceases to exist for a time.

Ha! The dreaded VOL card! Aieeeeee. Run for your lives! Okay, more cards on the way.

My favorite was probably Ulitma IV. I guess the series is a classic, even if I'm not much of a Garriot fan. I'd also rather see a final BG:DA game, simply because the last one ended so abruptly. I just don't want OE to make it. IWD3 all the way.

Why do I fear for this thread? Good luck keeping the necrozombie alive, but I don't think anyone will stay on the topic of Rand. Still, it deserves a chance.

Okay, Servant, your new sig gives me the eebie jeebies.

See, if I called Ender a rat bastard, I'd have to warn myself. Instead I'll call him a swine! The only celebrity I'd throw to the sharks is Ender, but Sarah'd come after me.

You might want to post a link to your thread in the NHL thread, Ghost. Here's a link: http://forums.obsidianent.com/index.php?sh...ic=36105&st=390 Don't derail the NHL thread, but give it a one off post to see if anyone wants to come here and join this game of yours.

Okay, I don't know about all the rest of everything, but don't go calling folks retartds. It's not cool and Ender is not the only one who finds the term onerus. In fact, I know of quite a few folks who find the term "retarded" offensive. They've made this opinion clear in PMs. On the other hand, no one reported it, and Gab deleted the offending post, and so I think that's good enough. This thread, however, has gone on long enough. Time to go to close for renovations.

This thread deserves an award for being on topic and rancor free. Good work, everyone. I might even go see a game or two at the pond this year, seeing as how I'm reading so much about Hockey.

Big brother Eldar is watching you. It's rather tedious wathing you, but he is! hahaha Still, good heated debate. I'm kind of hoping you guys don't go "flame on!" It's a decent debate so far. I will say that subclases of folks live everywhere. We could pretend that there aren't rich and poor in every nation on earth, or that folks aren't distinguished by physical or ethnic characteristics, but it would be a lie. BTW: the federal government is not allowed to use the national guard as a police force. It's a big part of the problem. I agree with preventing the national guard from being used as a police force. Every hundred years or so, we might regret a slower response from state and local police, but the rest of the time, I don't want the army acting as police in my state. Now, the NG can shoot folks shooting at them, but they can't arrest anyone as I understand it. I like that better, even if it means, once in every long while, they are restricted when we could use them. If we live a lie by pretending that
