Snags first post on page 8 to spite Nifft, and thus continue flame war.

Doesn't see page 7 at all, but responds to paradox42 directly, thus infuriating last three posters on previous page, who are sure they chalked up some sage observations and piquant funnies which will go unnoticed.

Quietly bumps the thread back to the frontpage, while blatantly making a semi-offensive statemnt.

Makes long and boring post about the uses of trolls in seige warfare. Claims castles are useless in D&D. Complains bitterly (and incorrectly) that green slime is not in 3.X D&D.

Points out helpfully that green slime is in fact in 3.X D&D, it's just not a monster, and then adds comment that troll livers taste best when served with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.

Points out how green slime and trolls don't mix very well... unless you look at it from the green slime's point of view.

Sly dig at Andor for not noticing that green slime IS in 3.5E. Goes away feeling all smug....

Because he can.

Once saw a movie in which the Angel who was the "Voice of God" was named Metatroll.

Quotes a previous poster that tangently discusses gaming. Begins discussion of D&D archetypes and the need for iconic examples. Describes six such archetypes, posting a series of six pictures - four from the Lord of the Rings Movies, one of Han Solo shooting first and another of Ginger Grant from Gilligan's Island.


Goes back to previous post to correct spelling error.

Refuses to let thread die, revives after nearly a week of inactivity with a thinly-veiled bump.

Wonders openly if Revive Nearly Dead Thread is a 4th level spell, or 5th, and if 4th what the time limit on thread death is before the spell can no longer reverse it. Vehemently refuses to admit parallels to certain Cleric spells.

Even more vehemently refuses to define "vehement" for readers who don't know what it means.

Argues against ditching the distinction between Arcane and Divine spells, using "Revive Nearly Dead Thread" as a primary example.

Also argues that "Revive Nearly Dead Thread," while necromantic in nature, CLEARLY does not create an evil thread.

Argues that it isn't the [necromantic] nature of the spell that causes the revived thread to be evil, its the fact that the thread chose to leave paridise in order to come back to ... this place....

Selfish, selfish thread...epitome of evil to try to squeak out an extra page or two when your time has passed!

Too bad I do not have enough levels in the PrC of 'Moderator' to cast 'Banish Thread'...,


Then, realizing that this post surfaces the Evil Meta-Troll back to page one, apologizes profusely for the post.. instead of hitting 'cancel'
