If you don't, you're going to have a bunch of irate, disappointed players beating down your door!

RE: Plumed hats and such -- Oh, what a tangled web IG doth weave!

a question of curiosity:

in the original saying of "oh the tangled skien we weave when it's our intent to deceive"

is the skien as in a skien of yarn?

 

[Leif]

The way that I heard it, it's "Oh what a tangled WEB we weave, when first we practice to deceive."

 

[Scott DeWar]

was yours the shakesphyearian saying?

 

[Friadoc]

The origin of the saying is Walter Scott, actually, a Scottish novelist and poet of modest note.

It is, in its original wording:

Oh! what a tangled web we weave
When first we practice to deceive!

It gets misquoted, a bit, as well as miscredited a time or two.

Looks like I only missed it by an exclamation point.

so...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nah, you did fine. The misquoting comment was more about how it's been used throughout history by folk, in movies, and so forth.
