@ Kyler's game with Kyler: Incredibly vivid descriptive skill, that. excellent first post!

@Kyler and Ryan, FOUR??????? (Is Ryan the fourth son or something?)

rofl.

no, Ryan is my only older brother.

If you look other places on the FOURum, you might find other FOUR references.

Shoulda named you
Primus
Secondus
Tritius
Quartus
Quintus
Sextus
Septimus
Octavious
etc.

Then it's easy to track.

Naw, I'd rather be Beta. We can be Alpha, Beta, Epsilon, Delta, and Omega. =)

Is Tristan at least the third son? Let me guess, he's the baby.

And I think Gamma comes before Epsilon.

Tristan is da turd, yes. =P

Gamma does, but I think Tristan would want to be either Epsilon or Upsilon and I'm sure Evan would want to be Delta.

Alpha
Beta
Gamma
Delta
Epsilon
Zeta
Eta
Theta
Iota
Kappa
Lambda
Mu
Nu
Xi
Omicron
Pi
Rho
Sigma
Tau
Upsilon
Phi
Chi
Psi
Omega

Kyler's Game with Kyler? Is he running himself in a game?

Not that I'd be too surprised....

Shoulda named you

Actually, my wife sometimes gets asked to tell people the beautiful names of her sons--Ryan, Kyler, Tristan, Evan, and Adam.

She mentioned this once, and I rattled off that she should say, "Avon, Ian, Ivan, Owen, and Ewan." That's been a private joke ever since.

But since we did not know we would have one child until he made it, let alone that he would have four brothers, we did not plan the names for a quintet.

Men don't have 'beautiful' names. Nothing a man owns is 'beautiful'. (Unless he owns a harem) To say something a man owns is 'beautiful' is an insult. Didn't you know that?

'Beautiful' is reserved for women. A real man finds that term insulting.

doublepost.

*sighs*

Brock, you don't agree? You do realize that sets you up to be considered less than a real man, right?

You also realize that I have a very strange sense of humor, and really enjoy saying things which are completely off the wall which are just there to make people sigh.

(All of which is to say, I was being facetious and trying to be funny)

I honestly don't care if I am viewed as a 'man' or not. I am me, and that is all I need to know.

And that's a durn good answer.

Grins, in my world a man, is someone who takes responsibility and has a job or is trying to find one, to each their own :P

Adam, check your Myspace.

Sorry John, I don't use myspace anymore, you are just going to have to find another medium to hide behind as you send your rage posts to me :)

Not a rage post. Seriously, check it. All jokes aside.

@JohnA1nut
Children are always beautiful, in the context of being children. It is in that capacity that I am a beautiful child of my mother and father, even if I am now 27 years old, and I know that my children will be beautiful to me in the same situation.

The "four" reference is a family meme, you may have seen Pharaoh or Kyler referencing it somewhere in posts, but it's not possible to understand until you've spent a good deal of face time with us, heh.

Like I said in a different post. I was being facetious. I hate that that doesn't come through in print.

Being facetious is fine, but you attempt it the same way a guy with a sledgehammer tries to perform cranial surgery.

He got the skull open, did he not?

@ Ryan in Kyler's Game, I call nepotism, he trusted his stick apon you and you were happy :P

He did get a five GE roll for the lajatang.

The Alert Rest was a difficult persuasion check. =)

@ Magnus's game

Kittens aren't quite long enough for that, and I don't think the forelimbs bend quite right to do more than ineffectually scratch at the knob. My cats have certainly tried.

Well its ether that or trying to bust my way through the door...

Well, in Eli's defense, he's certainly smarter than a cat.

It'll be up to a roll from his Manipulate Object skill.

@Harry's game: Well, I guess it's possible, but I really doubt the likelihood of a world with five hundred ounces of gold at the outside basing their currency on the gold standard.

@ Ahmetia's game: ... well?

Are you as pretty as they say?

=P

@Harry's game:

We haven't had gold since the Psionics Wars of the 2060's

I wonder if that statement have something to do with why gold is so coveted in that world.
Hmmm... Maybe the action/things related to Psionics can be activated by gold or something?

@Ahmetia's game:
The answer to that is quite amusing...
How would you answer if you are in that situation Kyler?
Maybe like looking at the mirror or something?

@Ryan's game:
Seems like an interesting world with a lot of potential.

I have a query for my GMs Eric and Kyler, which I have placed in the new thread "When Oak Returns"... :)

@Kyler You were screaming at me to post in your game, I did, now you're not replying.

I'll get to it. My players take first priority.

I certainly agree, Maxx, that we've put Ahmetia on the spot.

Ky, curious in the light of our recent phone conversation whether the recent posts on Edgar's thread impact your opinion, either confirming or refuting your suspicions.

--M. J. Young

Neither the one nor the other. I'm something of a supicious character by nature, though. =)

@Magnus's game

I get a sense I know where this is going. Then again, I may just be overly paranoid.

Suspicions? What would those be, I wonder? I can think of several things...hmmm...

"It's not whether you're paranoid, it's whether you're paranoid ENOUGH."
Tom Sizemore's character, Strange Days.

I'm liking Jhiaxus' world with Harry in it.
