[QUOTE="YourSwordIsMine, post: 5306811, member: 19381"] My name stems from back during my first game session (1992) with my current gaming group. My character was being introduced to the party several sessions in and so my character had been tossed in jail. One of the other players was playing the Defender (a royally appointed troubleshooter of sorts) and so had asked for my release on terms that I swear allegience to him and the king. When my character had been hauled up out of the dungeons he'd been given his sword back so I decided to make a show of it. I described my character on bended knee offering my swordhilt to the Defender and promptly said "My sword is yours"... At which point the room burst into laughing... Being a normally shy person I of course turned beat red and was completely confused as to why everyone was laughing at me... I normally didnt go into this much characterization or roleplaying because of the shyness... And so I was slipping into trauma territory with all the laughter... So after 45 minutes of being laughed at I started to pack up my stuff and leave... I was livid and mortified and near to tears... Ron (playing the Defender) finally realized something was wrong and had calmed down long enough to explain what had happened. In my mind I had said "My sword is yours" but what actually came out of my mouth was "Your sword is mine"... It's kind of stuck with me all these years as a running joke... At the time it wasnt all that funny but eventually I just made it my own. [/QUOTE]
