  1. Last try. Lord of the Rings?
  2. Full-Lash their two shirt sleeves together. Who needs handcuffs this way?
  3. I hope these daily headaches will settle down soon. Don't want to be back on meds.

  4. Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara?
  5. I'll place my vote on Lily Carter. At the end of the day I wish to move to the Lounge.
  6. I am voting for Hadrian and I will be going to the Library.
  7. ...Still recovering from the trauma of the CNY horde. Sigh. It's that time of year again...

  8. I am voting for Din. I will be remaining in the Lounge.
  9. 新年快乐!步步高渗!祝你前程羊关大道,天天喜气羊羊!(I just love the homophones, don't you? ) Yesterday was Chinese New Year Eve, so for me, it's definitely CNY today, and the hordes are already descending. I'm trying to ride it out in my little study bunker here, but I imagine I'll have to deal with the usual inquisitive-prying relative questions and with having to rattle out as many greetings as I can and remembering who is who The goodies make up for it, though Any of you guys born in the year of the goat? I'm a Metal Goat myself (apparently, according to the way they do Chinese horoscopes...)
  10. Of course, my timezone is also listed as being in the same bracket as China...
  11. I don't see what's so scary about scepticism. Hmm. Hreo, I just want to clarify that I'm understanding the rules correctly. We are not allowed to RP in the thread (i.e. in the White Room), but we can RP in the Room PMs (i.e. the group PMs.) Would that be a correct way to understand what you mean?
  12. Signing on as Bernie Kassig, a Swiss man with detachment issues, and who thinks the world isn't real. Edit: Hreo, I have a question. Are the Special Roles that aren't Nightmare Aspects safe roles?
  13. I'm not 100% sure of this, but I'll give it a go just in case. 1. Mal Reynolds, from Firefly 2. Harry Dresden, from The Dresden Files 3. Percy Jackson, briefly, from Percy Jackson and the Olympians. 4. Andy, one episode, Cowboy Bebop (<--Watch Cowboy Bebop! It's awesome. I actually think that the coat that Spike uses when he's being badass is a duster, but I could be wrong. Could be a trench.) Name fifteen webcomics.
  14. Right. Genuine 17S break now. This is Kas, signing out. See y'all in a week or so.

    1. Kobold King

      See you in a week!

  15. I'm of the opinion that playing with Awakening would generally require you to play like a wizard. That is to say, with some thought, and strategically. For those who neither like D&D nor playing wizards, little can be said. Just because you have to memorise your spells in advance doesn't mean that a game would be destroyed when that happens. It just means you have to be selective about what you pick, and the way you use your Breaths could end up making a difference to gameplay or the options you get. You could go the Vasher route and generally make little decoys--the squirrel and the straw man come to mind. You could Awaken your clothing to enhance your abilities. Already, enhanced lifesense could be useful in gameplay--force a choice between either keeping enough Breath to achieve that or to expend it. Going all the way up to Awaken carpets and have them grab or immobilise your opponents? You could carry items with delayed commands, such as the rope that holds things when thrown. I'm pretty sure that'd be a swell garrotte. Lame indeed.
  16. I'm pretty sure some people felt KOTOR II dropped the ball, and I'm very much of the opinion that going for TOR instead of KOTOR III definitely did so. I believe it's been mentioned at some point, but I'd love a Dishonoured/Shadow of Mordor/Assassin's Creed style game set on Nalthis. I feel like T'Telir is a very colourful (pun intended) setting for an urban game, the politics at the Court of the Gods already sets up for it, and there's gangs, for the darker side of things, the Lifeless thread that should never again be named, even though I'm briefly referring to it here--basically, I think there's much to explore...and Awakening (although admittedly, so would Allomancy/Feruchemy) synergises very well with the whole urban-rogue mechanic/premise.
  17. I'm happy to settle for the names, if you'll name them. Kobold: I wanted to avoid fan languages, where possible. So sadly, most of the list became the "languages I think are wicked cool and would love to speak" list.

  21. Seeing as there has been no forthcoming answer, I'm going to provide the answers and then ask a different question. 1. Martin Heidegger (existential phenomenologist, 20th C) 2. Edmund Husserl (phenomenologist, 20th C) 3. Arthur Danto (aesthetics and philosophy of history, some philosophy of language, 20-21st C) 4. David Chalmers (metaphysician and philosopher of mind, 20-21st C) 5. Ned Block (cognitive scientist and philosopher of mind, 20-21st C) 6. Massimo Pigliucci (philosopher of science, ecologist, evolutionary biologist, 20-21st C) 7. Graham Priest (logician, 20-21st C) Given the question asked by the person before me, this is somewhat ironic: any scientist who lived before the 18th-19th century would've passed muster as a philosopher. A trivial point is that they considered themselves natural philosophers--the term 'scientist' and the idea of science as a formal profession took a long time to come about. The second thing is that most of those natural philosophers did take it upon themselves to write works of philosophy. So names such as Avicenna, Francis Bacon and Isaac Newton himself are all acceptable. My new question: Name me five female scientists, historical or present.
  22. Earth, black bile Fire, yellow bile Water, phlegm Air, blood. WLIU, name seven philosophers who are not ethicists. Bonus points if you can give me those who lived in at least the twentieth century onwards and if you can give me a mix of sub-fields.
  23. Wyrm: Consider maybe a Rioter/Soother in HR (Or maybe a low level manager...?) Their job is to make sure new(?) hires integrate smoothly into Heron Industries culture, and as such they're capable of protecting/preventing one employee from being fired? :S
  24. I'm also pretty sure Istanbul and Sydney aren't the capitals of their respective nations. The capital of Australia is Canberra (...very fun if you're a student at ANU...) and the capital of Turkey is Ankara.
