Thinking about Gabbard in general, my animal instinct is to flatten my ears against my head, roll my eyes up till the whites show, bare my teeth, and trill like a cicada stuck in a Commodore 64.

He's a hack fantasy author, if it helps.

Cain, I thought you were going to keep responding idiocy until someone discovered your "point", or the thread died?

Why are you so blatantly dishonest?

I never said when I was going to do it.  I have paper to read, people to see and shopping to do.

Why do you feel the need to compulsively lie?

One the first one, it reminds me of the fictional game of Sava introduced in R A Salvatore's novels.  It is like chess, only once a game, you can roll a die, and if the correct symbol comes up, you can move any one of the enemies pieces, to illustrate the backstabbing and opportunistic nature of the drow, and how conditons of war can help this come about.

QuoteSava was an intricate game representing a war between two noble Houses—at least that was what it currently represented. Pharaun had seen an antique set that recapitulated in miniature the drow's eternal struggle with another race, but such pieces had gone out of fashion long before his birth, probably because no player had wanted to be the dwarves.

With its gridlike board regulating movement and its playing pieces of varying capacities,sava resembled games devised by many cultures, but celebrating the chaos in their blood the drow had found a way to introduce an element of randomness into what would otherwise unfold with a mechanical precision. Once per game, each player could forgo his normal move to throw the sava dice. If the spider came up on each, he could move one of his opponent's pieces to eliminate any man of its own color within its normal reach, a rule that acknowledged the dark elves' propensity for doing down their kin even in the face of a serious external threat.

That's cool, whenever.  I've only really started to get dug into part 2 now, and I've been meaning to do it since Monday, so I'm hardly in a position to chide others over time management!

Swote.  I have a list of what I dont have so far, but I'm hoping I can make it through to the end before double checking and asking for what I cant find.  As I'm sure you can appreciate, there are a lot of files floating around right now I'm organizing.

Nice. I get attacked and misrepresented, so I'm "infantile".  No-one else mind, not least the people who went out of their to attack and misrepresent me.  You misinterpret my rant, treat me like an idiot and then expect me to play nice...and then when I don't, I get slapped down for it.  Real smooth, classy even.

It's not so much "outlandish" as "painful running gag", I would think.

They end up being the same thing, in the long run.

NO ICP EVER.

Note to self: jihad Juggalos

I've got to the end of page one in tracks, so far.  I'll likely make an extended push on this over the weekend and get it mostly completed, at least to the end of page 3.

I can see those of you lurking, by the way.  Including the usual "lets have a go at Cain when someone else does" crowd.

Don't disappoint me now.

Why are you so blatantly dishonest, Hoopla?

I should have been more clear, and stated explicitly that I was finished trying to discuss your points with you like a civilized person.

On the other hand, I'll still poke you with a stick until the cows come home.


Yes, you're sure poking me Hoopla.  You're liek some sort of sooper-troll or something.

And we get another illustration of your revisionism and dishonesty into the bargain.
