    More like "The only thing that kept them alive long enough to publish the Cathay and Midnight Archipelago books, along with the collected/expanded Explorer's Society book" (all of which contain a very large number of cool things). The Sidhe Book of Nightmares and Knights and Musketeers also had some great new items in them (like a new set of Glamour knacks).

    Escape Artist is a skill that among other things, you can use to wriggle through tight spaces. If you roll high enough, you can even manage to get through spaces smaller than your head.

    So, the CharOp boards being what they are, realized what this REALLY meant. It meant you could crawl up into some tiny space in a manner SO AWESOME and awe inspiring that it could make everyone around you instantly your best friends.

    Thus was born the Arseplomancer.

    I will leave you with just the name to figure out the punchline.

    I'm just wondering, are you really this camp, or are you just ironically poking fun at stereotypes of gay people?

    @Eisregen:

    Yeah, I know what you mean. At least 7th Sea kept its old Roll-and-Keep rules (all of its later books gave rules for both systems, the only books that were solely d20 were the d20 versions of the previous rules).

  7. Well, you know, characters can just take more classes after they hit level 30 or so (and have thus gotten the best epic feats for their class). So, with enough time, a character could easily overpower Silver Age Superman.

    That doesn't even make sense if you put the whole sentence together.

    I think the problem here is whether or not the government should allow such an activity to continue (for example gambling) if it has a tendency to make people significantly "addicted" even if there is no actual physical chemical introduced into their body.
    Why should we pay for the frailties of others? They're not being coerced, they keep going because they want to. If they didn't want to, they'd stop. They might say they want to stop, but their actions betray their true minds.

    ...sounds like a stereotypical nerd....

    Or more to the point, it sounds like the guy never grew up.

    Do they have any way to prove he was like that *before* he was playing the game?
    Actually, it's that phrase that kills him. "Direct result" implies some sort of mind-control rays or something.

    Certainly. Your first assignment is yourself.

    The song is way beyond emo. That doesn't necessarily mean the band is emo.

    WAIT! What's the rest of that line?! I can't tell! Please help meeeeeee!

    Also, I got one from some emo song: "I'm a creeeeeeep, I'm a wido-o-ow..."

    Cracks my mother up (which is nice because she loves that sort of crappy music).

    And of course, the Trope Namer:

    They have slain the Earl Amurray,
    And Lady Mondegreen."

    Stop leaking my plans for when I've conquered the world!

    They're supposed to be a surprise! I'm gonna be all "MWAHAHAHA!" and they'll be all "ONOZ" and then I'll actually make everything more efficient and sensible and they'll be like "OMG WE WERE SO TROLLED" and I'd be all "Greatly Improved Leadershiproll'd!" and it would be totally sweet.

    Thank you for letting me use this totally awesome link to Homestuck through a tenuous connection to Con Air.

    Happy birthday, Casey!

    Well, yeah, duh, but that's an open-and-shut case, this is a far more interesting topic. I mean, just how many ways can you say, "The litigant is full of ****"?

    Random =\= funny all the time. You have to put some humor behind your randomness and not just blurt out whatever comes to your head.

    Now, if you'll excuse me, i have to find a chorus line who can shout like morbo.
    CHORUS LINES DO NOT WORK THAT WAY!

    GOOD NIGHT!

    Right then, you had your chance. Now you're going on the ignore list. You're the second person ever to be placed on it (the first guy didn't listen to my advice for improving his posts, either).

    Okay, I have explained how you are not funny, simply irritating, I have given you plenty of chances to improve. You have not. Now get out of my thread, because this is turning into Obvious Troll is Obvious.
