[QUOTE="hong, post: 820206, member: 537"] So? Well gee, I don't think I'm 70 years old yet. See, "Az" lan, if that is his REAL state of origin, stands as an example to everyone of how it's possible to AVOID this terrible ignominy, by the simple strategem of WEARING ONE'S TINFOIL HAT AT ALL TIMES. If only people would take such elementary precautions, life would be much simpler. Yes, come the revolution, all hack-n-slashers will be first against the wall! Where they will be, I dunno, talked to death. Or something. Because there's nothing more terrifying to me than to listen to someone regale me about the exploits of his character where they drank tea at the archduke's garden party for six hours. That's either regaling me for six hours, or drinking tea for six hours, or both. It all comes to the same thing in the end. I'd take an axe to someone like that, but I can't, because the rules for using an axe will have been axed (HAW HAW) from the game in the name of increased character interaction. Well, I ask you, how is putting an axe into someone's head not interacting with them? You can't deny that having an axe in your head will have significant effects on your future actions as an independent agent within a game world. If nothing else, it makes for a great pickup line: "excuse me, I have an axe in my head, would you mind pulling it off for me?" HOW CAN THAT FAIL? I am seriously going out to try it RIGHT NOW! Someone hand me an axe. Hong "likes axes" Ooi [/QUOTE]
