Crowley is down right creepy.

"Samual_Tow - Be disappointed all you want, people. You just don't appreciate the miracles that are taking place here."

For an entertaining view of Crowley, see the essay "The Great Rough Beast" in Avram Davidson's Adventures in Unhistory.

In my favorite section, Davidson quotes a British diarist named Elsa Lanchester, who had met Crowley, on his appearance. She describes him as having a shaven head and a yellow kilt, or "wearing a heavily jeweled waistcoat and the largest ring I ever saw on a human hand," or "with dirty hands, immense rings, presumably dyed hair, a fancy waistcoat, a fur coat, and tennis shoes." Davidson's summing up reads, "Miss Lanchester, with the British taste for understatement, describes A.C. as being 'an odd dresser.'"

I had really thought these people mere made up. I though it was so cool that they weren't.

Creepy, strangely dressed, and with a penchant for the occult? It's like Crowley was his generation's Alan Moore.

Sartre once said, "Hell is other people." What does that make an MMO?
