    Vote for the Song-Entry Winner!

    I cast my vote for "I Love This Board" by Rel. I enjoyed it most, which is strange, since I despise Toby Keith with a passion. :D I started to vote for myself, but that just seems tacky for this sort of thing - to me, anyway.

    What are your deterrent words and length in an Enworld's post

    I never ignore it - When E.F. PufNStuf talks, people listen. :D On a more serious note, though - in addition to stuff that has already been mentioned, I really can't stand posts that use large quantities of "l33t" speak or any other rarified jargon. Even if I can muddle through and...

    How much does a road cost?

    Maybe not. If you translate that through from sesterces to dollars, it's about $1565 a mile. Cheap! Probably a lot of savings from the Romans using slave or indentured labor? Dunno. Anyway, using my admittedly rough guide of 1 Gold = $20 (based on the idea that a "common" meal would be about $6...

    Sworn to Duty.

    Yes, and if they had taken time, on duty or not, to go check on their own families, and then went back to work, I'd be all for it - heck, their families are some of the people they are sworn to protect, and a VERY good argument could be made that not letting them take care of that first could...

    How much does a road cost?

    From the looks of a general Googling, you could set the price at 1d20+6 million dollars per mile for four lane (heavy through traffic) type roads or 1d10+4 million dollars per mile for two lane (local traffic) type roads. Bridges should probably run about 1d3+3 million more per mile than their...

    What Do You Like on Your Tacos?

    I blame Taco for that weird song they charted with. :D

    What Do You Like on Your Tacos?

    There - fixed it for you. :p I like my tacos with just meat and cheese, usually, although I will put sour cream on if available, and I won't turn up my nose if they've got lettuce or black beans on them, but I won't go out of my way for those, either. Tomatoes are strictly OUT. As far as sauce...

    Sworn to Duty.

    I admittedly don't know what might have been in this specific order, but generally members of emergency services are expected to stay to help see to it that the order is carried out for the general populace. (I live near Myrtle Beach, SC, where mandatory evacuation is almost an annual event.)

    Sworn to Duty.

    Actually, I would think it would help - those who were a problem are gone now.

    Sworn to Duty.

    Torm the True, the Loyal Fury, god of Honor and Duty, spits heavily, and will go no further in saying why out of respect for others on the board and the board's rules. But I should think it would be obvious.....

    Help me flesh out this village's history?

    That was the reason I mentioned the abundant crops and the large kept animals with unusual and sometimes prized traits - they're getting a mixed bag from the radiation, and it isn't enough to be worth it in the long run, but it IS worthwhile ENOUGH for them not to have figured that out yet.

    Help me flesh out this village's history?

    The hill is literally made out of glass. This is because, long long ago, some ancient and long forgotten civilization detonated a nuclear device there, and turned most of a sandy dune to glass. The people who live in the town stay there because the crops they grow there grow large and quick, and...

    Very High Magic Campaign?

    You could go the Zorkian route, and have lots and lots of "spell completion" items that can be completed by ANYONE - and that are useful for all sorts of relatively mundane things, like a spell that performs the function of yeast and causes bread to rise, or one that acts as a daily vitamin. The...

    Your Gas Price

    Won't ever happen. Supply and demand means that as oil becomes more scarce relative to demand, the price of it will just go up and up - BUT, as the price goes up, so will the demand for vehicles that run on something other than oil. And as THAT demand is met, and some consumers shift to that...

    Irritating Habits of HR People

    Warning: This is something of a rant, but it contains a couple of serious questions. I know there are some HR and other hiring types on the board, and I'd really like to know. 1. Why don't potential employers read resumes? And I'm not talking about every resume sent to them. I understand that...
