All this sunder talk about an item which is meant to be indestructible reminds me of that scene in John Boorman's Excalibur when Arthur uses the power of his magical sword to sunder Lancelot's weapon, but finds in doing so that his vanity and hubris have broken his own weapon. Merlin even says...

Pro: Your soul is hidden and as long as your soul is safe, you cannot die. It is hidden separate from your body inside a needle, which is in an egg, which is in a duck, which is in a hare, which is in an iron chest, which is buried under a green oak tree, which is on an island in the middle of...

Not GaryXPing people? Or slutting for XP?

Can I ask that if you give people XP outside of this thread that you don't call it Gary XP? Either their post is worthy of xp or it isn't, and it feels patronising, frankly, to think that someone has liked what you had to say, only to find that they were only just giving you xp as a way to give...

Of course it is. That is what 'over' generally means. Or at the very least superfluous. Attachment is of course A wonderful thing, unless you have a kill happy GM, or if it leads you to being overcautious as a player.

I haven't time to respond to this post in depth. On the other hand, I read the whole thread, so kudos to me. In short, I agree with the latter parts of your post, but I really disagree with the initial paragraphs. I think in many ways the game back then was better for the freedom that GM's were...

It's a reasonable question, and in my opinion if the player is unable to answer it then you should feel free to disallow it. This supposes that it is the player doing the describing, but why should the GM need to do so? It's the player's power - they should describe it. And if they are unable to...

The alternative? You suggest that the only solution to Wik's woes is to revert to 3E. Wik made it quite clear that he didn't want for this thread to be edition war - he was pointing that for him the current system doesn't allow him to GM in a way that he enjoys, to the detriment of everyone's...

Fair enough. And let's face it, calling something macabre is hardly a hanging offence! I just wanted to stick up for whisper72.

Hey, we aren't the ones who added achievements, xp, gear etc to Enworld! If you find the addition of such 'bedazzling' to be tacky, lacking decorum, or potentially perhaps you shouldn't have added them. Or had such fluffery be opt in, instead of opt out. As I said, it was a sweet idea. Perhaps...

Sure. I was just responding to your comment, which I understand to be a common act in these fandangled internet fora. :) FWIIW I thought the sentiment was actually kind of sweet, even if the idea was arguably misguided, and hence felt the assertion that it was macabre worth questioning. Of...

Macabre? No more macabre than any other posthumous award I would have thought.

Very sad news. I was awfully fond of Liz Sladen AKA Sarah Jane Smith :( http://s3.amazonaws.com/coolproduction/ckeditor_assets/pictures/1364/original/sladen1.jpg?1303256411

True. To address the previous poster's request, Eliizabeth Sladen played a companion in 81 episodes over a period many consider to be a golden era of Dr Who, and was there to see the transition from Pertwee to Baker. Some stories include: The Time Warrior (her first appearance). The Pyramids...

A yo yo, a ball of string, some jelly babies, a sonic screwdriver, 500 year diary...

God no. I would rather read fan-fic. (and I don't like fan fic!) The poster below me has been referred to as an enworld asshat at circus maximus.

False. All Aussie rules here, baby. The poster below me knows who Gary Ablett is. (If you need to ask if I mean Jnr or Snr, just put true)

Ahh, I see. Yes, your location explains everything. Thanks.

Re: Zoolander. I and the cinema filled with laughing people I saw it with beg to differ. I have no issue with your second comment as it at least acknowledges your limitations to be the issue at hand. ;)

He was funny in Zoolander.
