    Sorry Peng. I accidentally clicked the down vote.

    Interesting thing I spotted today at work - Sir Jerric and A Smart Guy seem to be taking turns sitting in the thread, I assume watching for activity or lurkers, but it happened several times today. At one look, I'd see Sir Jerric in the thread, and the next time I checked, he'd be gone, and A Smart Guy was in his place. Or vice versa. It may be a total coincidence, I'll admit, probably is, but it did strike me as something odd, especially since neither of them were posting. Of course, A Smart Guy has now posted, but Sir Jerric still hasn't. Wyrm, you've answered my question for now. I might come back to you later though, depending on what others say, but for now... Sir Jerric, are you and A Smart Guy conspiring?

    Excellent write up Gamma I do have to wonder though, when you saw the name Lynchbait the Innocent, did you let the random roll place her in the Eliminator camp, or did you assign her there yourself, just for the name? I know I would have been sorely tempted to do just that. Thanks Hael (and now Wyrm too), I've heard the explanation before, I just hadn't connected the abbreviation to it. I wish people would stop posting while I type. This is the third time I've had to copy/paste my post because of a new one appearing in the thread Raven, I'd guess from the number of players, either 4 or 5 Eliminators, with one down already. Wyrm, I'd like to know why Meta thought that you'd be guilty if he were innocent, or vice versa. Edit: Correcting Lynchbait's name.

    I'm currently splitting my time between Telltale Games Walking Dead, Startopia, and Farcry 3.

    Bortholemew the Blind stomped grumpily into the Court of the Gods, his high priest trailing slightly behind, a slightly shocked expression on his face. The midget's beard looked glorious. Freshly primped and tidied, it was fluffier than ever. Just under Bortholemew's chin, a small face sat in the beard to those who looked closely. It was female, and had a content look about her face. Seeming to look around at those gathered, Bortholemew's gaze stopped on Funweaver the Festive's priests (clowns? jesters?) with a look of horror. When the time came to vote, Bortholemew the Blind stood and declared, "My vote must be for Funweaver the Festive, just for the horror he thrusts upon us! I mean, have you seen his priests? Those colours look awful together! Pink, and yellow, in those eye wrenching twists and patterns..." Although his voice faded to a murmur after that, fortunately allowing proceedings to continue, those close to the Returned beardomancer, could hear him still muttering. For those looking closely, the face in the beard was laughing hysterically. It's day one, no-one has any suspicions yet, or I don't at least, so I thought I'd have a bit of fun

    Ha! I'll try to do just that.

    Like I said, Borderlands has been going for about 20 years now, so they've had opportunity to work out most of the kinks when working with email RP. A typical post will look something like this... And it continues in this vein until the scene is complete, and a new post is started for the next. Sometimes we'll have multiple scenes running at the same time - on the Bridge, Main Engineering, and a boarding party on another ship, for example, at which point it is up to the Captain (as effective GM) to keep them all tied in together and on track. I think this kind of gameplay works much better than forum RP, as it allows for character interaction (since multiple people will be working on the same scene, instead of you post a bit, I post a bit, but we can't really talk without holding everything up because we'll need to post literally one line at a time), something that is very difficult to get right on a forum.

    I've not seen DestinyQuest, but in my time I have played almost all (if not all) Fighting Fantasy books, as well as all of the Lone Wolf (Kai, Magnakai, etc) books.

    Insert masturbation joke here.

    And would they still call heavy metal 'heavy metal' or would they instead call it 'iron music' or something? Edit: You know you're a Sanderfan when you are so dedicated ot the forums, you even read the Black Magic/Love Potion Babaji posts.

    Our roleplay group once coined a phrase for a Star Wars group we were playing (many years ago, with the old West End Games D6 system) - "Always outnumbered, never outgunned." My actual family motto/words is simply 'Providence'. A couple of my family's claims to fame (all true). When the first person went over Niagra Falls in a barrel, one of ours made the barrel! One of ours was George Washington's personal physician. One branch of our family annexed the Blackadders. Edit: Bonus points if anyone can identify my family name from this

    I know I was going to go to the convention as Sadeas, but having seen the picture Brandon posted on Twitter, I have another idea... I have a similar build to Brandon, and could easily do a costume like this. It strikes me as being a little meta - most people go as characters, I'll go as the author

    That depends... Do I still have my Honourblade? If so, Barney, so I can finally take revenge for those hours lost being forced to listen to that braized song. If not, Kaladin's boots. Vin's childhood, or Kaladin's army career before WoK?
  18. Bort
    Chouta, but mostly because I've not read the Reckoners beyond Steelheart. Besides, I once tried to order chouta at KFC, so it obviously comes to mind easier than hot dogs. Kaladin's Boots, or Vivenna's Breath-infused tattered cloak? Edit: I know how you feel about the feruchemist/mistborn dilemma. I'm exactly the same. I think though, eventually, Mistborn would win out, because you can't fly with feruchemy. Ok, fall with style, but it's close enough.
  19. Bort
    Shattered Plains feast, especially that one with the little islands. I'll bet that would look brilliant. Mistborn or Feruchemist?
  20. Bort
    Would you rather be a Herdazian, or a Horneater?

    Love the Shallan one there Quiver.

    Lark, is this going anywhere? If not, I'd like to offer the people waiting a chance to join Borderlands. Borderlands is a play by email RPG using Yahoo and Google groups to organise posts. It is possibly the longest running Star Trek RPG on the internet and has been going for about 20 years now. There is a selection of Duty Stations you can play on, all of which are based in the Delta Quadrant. Take a look at my first post in this thread for the link to the maon Borderlands website. I would post it again but am on my phone.

    Not really a Sanderfan thing, but in reference to people's names, there is a scene in Terminator (Salvation, I think, the one with the female terminator), where one of the terminators is trying to kill the other, and for a few minutes you see the scene as they would, through a haze of red, with instructions flashing up in front of their eyes. The text kept flashing between 'Terminate' and 'Abort'. Terminate A Bort... I'm heading the other way, thanks.

    There was a pop in the Court of the Gods. The sound dissipated leaving behind a small mass of white hair. It shuffled, and spoke. "I really don't see why you need to keep food in here. It's unhygienic." A second voice responded, apparently from the same place. "Well, where else I am I supposed to keep my travel supplies, Luma?" "Oh, I don't know, a bag, maybe?" The voice was dripping in sarcasm. "But a warm beardnut in my beard helps keep us both warm, and the beardnut too," the midget replied to his spren. The argument continued in this vein for another few minutes, until a guy wearing white and grey priest robes walked over to Bortholemew. He genuflected in front of the midget. "My Lord, welcome to the Court of the Gods. If you will follow me, your residence is this way." "What?" Bortholemew questioned him. "I'm not Returned, just passing through." "Oh, no, my Lord," the priest replied. "You are Bortholemew the Blind. Your priests have been expecting you." "They have?" The shock was evident in the midget's eyebrows. A small, translucent face poked out of the front of the beard, looking on curious. "Ummm, Bortholemew," Luma said after a moment, "Look." A small, translucent hand poked out of the beard too, pointing to a patch of grass that ran along the path they were walking down. There was a circle of colour moving with them, a patch where the grass seemed greener than elsewhere. Bortholemew the Blind looked at this, and swore. "Great. I'm Returned. How did that happen, and why?" The eyebrows lowered into something more resembling a scowl. "How should I know?" Luma replied. "I'm just your beardspren. But if you shut up, and go along with it, you may find out."

    Bortholemew the Blind had barely sat down when his spanreed started flashing. What was this? He turned the dial, and set the pen to writing. Twenty minutes later, he was heading to the door again, this time, muttering something about Halladren, and wondering what trouble he would find there this time.
