    I would like to see the God of Lawyers. One so savage and vicious, that Huitzilpoctoli himself would tremble before that deity. Maggot

    Murometz: The Road to Canagadi shapter opens tonite!
    Murometz: tha'hells a shapter??!! Chapter!
    Chaosmark: SHAPTER, n. A slang word used as the future-tense of a chapter, usually on a Friday. First used by the ubiquitous 'Murometz' on the website 'www.strolen.com', it has since become a world-wide phenomenon, permeating gamer-culture and beginning a slow infestation of common English parlance.
    Dozus: Man, am I ever looking forward to this next shapter!
    Murometz: ive never been called ubiquitous before.

    Triumph of the Dungeon Master!

    Ah, how I have come to love that sense of accomplishment and victory that I get when I pull the wool over the eyes of a clever player character. What DM Triumphs have you had?

    Some of mine:
    1. Finally killing an incredibly powerful, lucky, annoying player's character.
    2. Finally achieving a TPK (Total Party Kill)
    3. Finally achieving a TPK using only traps
    4. Finally working out how to make it so that d**n wizard doesn't steal the spotlight all the d**n time.

    Gossamer: Oh yeah....Decathros. I never did write down my ideas for that did I...crud. On my to do list!
    MysticMoon: Oh yeah... Decathros. I never did write anything about the vulture people :(
    Ancient Gamer: Oh yeah... Decathros. I never did get quite what that was.

    MysticMoon: The traveling warrior... drunken monkey master who joined a ninja clan
    Murometz: youre in
    MysticMoon: I was referring to Goss :P
    Murometz: teh ol' "drunken style" combined with "monkey style" ftw!
    Gossamer: Hmm, that's a good origin story. Originally Japanese but speaks Chinese and what not. Fell asleep on a boat ferrying sake.
    Murometz: anyhoo, i *love* the genre, and will do it justice. Have no fear
    MysticMoon: Or captured by Chinese pirates
    Gossamer: I'm 200 years old and probably blind, which of course makes me even more powerful.
    Murometz: older the better haha
    Murometz: at 200 yrs of age, you can no longer control your bowels but no one is more powerful than you lol
    MysticMoon: Bowel Rage Attack!
    Murometz: Goss 'Whitebrow" feces spewing master of monkey drunks

    MysticMoon: Or complementing you
    Gossamer: Uhm, did I misspell or are those two words?
    MysticMoon: Nope
    MysticMoon: I was doing a word play
    Gossamer: So they're two words?
    MysticMoon: Yes
    MysticMoon:
    Gossamer: Ah. Awww, too bad I ruined it. :P

    Longspeak, on why he'll never delete his subs: "Well, I promise, if I ever get butthurt by you guys, I'll just buy a new brand of lube and all will be well."

    Ra smiled. His plan was working. He had traveled across the Galaxy with his friends specifically to freak Strolen out. Once Strolen had been driven completely insane, Ra would leave, his mission complete. ~Ra

    A happily ever after with my female shepherd and Liara is all I'm after, really!

    We were discussing Mass Effect 3's ending, and it was a reference to Commander Shepherd obviously, but when taken of context...

    Longspeak:
    The waiting room is littered with the bones of those who come here, not to die, but to live, only to find their lives held in limbo, an eternity of waiting... until at last they find new lives beyond the veil of tears.

    Shadoweagle: This one speaks truth. They of the Citadel be not unlike the ebb and flow of the tide. for whence our duties lie low and the time is right, we engulf the site like the unforgiving sea, until life draws us back into the ocean of responsibility from whence we came.
    Shadoweagle: Some drown or lose their way, in that ocean, and return to us not. Yet it comes to be that oftentimes the tide pulls new denizens to our shore, bringing with them tales and legends as yet unheard. And even those lost for many a year to the ocean are not always forgotten. They lurk in our memories and in the footprints they have left in the sand.
    Shadoweagle: And so those of us who stay, wait patiently along the shore, sharing tales among ourselves as we wander, and hope that one day, we will see footprints, freshly marked in the sand, yet oh so familiar. And we shall welcome our once-lost kin back to our shore and ask them to tell us new tales which they learned whilst lost so long.
    Shadoweagle: Thus the cycle continues. Thus, Strolen's Citadel is, and ever shall be.

    Yes, I just necro'd a 6 ear, 8 month post :D

    Stupid Y button... likes to stick and not type... amazing the amount of typos that little quirk will produce

    I just love the imagery of 6 ears, probably from old corpses, that have been raised by a necromancer. What does one do with 6 freshly raised ears? Not to be confused with braised ears, certainly. Those are easier to find a use for.

    This is just one reason why I love being here:

    Dozus: That's weird. Why you be disappearin', CM?
    Chaosmark: You mean aside from the fact that I was pulling an all-nighter and decided I need sleep?
    Dozus: Sleep is disallowed.
    Chaosmark: That sorta what I've been thinking, with this damned project at work.
    MysticMoon: You really didn't read the contract thoroughly, did you?
    Dozus: It's hard to read when it's all written in blood.
    MysticMoon: Bah! That just means you haven't had enough practice
    MysticMoon: Back in my day, we had to read and understand 10 complex contracts written in our own blood at a time, no chance to feel woozy from the bloodloss
    MysticMoon: And we like it
    Chaosmark: Yeah yeah yeah, showoff.
    MysticMoon: :P
    Dozus: I usually use *other* people's blood.
    MysticMoon: Hmm, clever thinking. That way they pay the price if you ever decide to go against it?
    Dozus: It's just more convenient. I carry a supply of strangers' blood at all times for just such an instance.
    MysticMoon: Sounds like a good habit to get into. I nearly passed out once because I'd skipped breakfast and unexpectedly had to write out a 20 page document without messing up a single sigil
    MysticMoon: Nearly opened up a portal to the Tenth Abyss
    MysticMoon: There were tentacles and claws everywhere for about 3 minutes
    MysticMoon: Had plenty of blood available after that, but...
    Dozus: Heh heh, I think we've all been there. :)
    Chaosmark: *something something* Cthulhu reference *something* Dark gods *something something something* Witty punchline.

    "We will save your life."
    L: "Meh."
    "We'll give your life meaning."
    L: "Doesn't matter if I don't fall for the first thing."
    "Your work uniform has black lace and silver bling."
    L: "Sold."

    So, I just saw this. I can't for the life of me remember what the hell I was talking about when I said that.

    I can.

    Probably the fact that forum games take so fricken' long?

    You wait and wait for this or that notorious delaying poster, like CaptainPenguin back in the day, and in the end they find your skeleton, covered in dust and cobwebs, hands still on the keyboard... waiting.
