Subject: A warning on a post

I will be posting a long note from Etsy that is in a foriegn tongue. The only
individuals who will actually be able to "understand" it are those players
running dragons or VERY old elves(ie 4th world) and spirits. So if you are
running any of the above, please tell me. I am figuring that the following
people will get the translation, due to thier characters:

The Dead Wyrm Ouroboros: CAT, Nox
Daniel Waisley: Seraphy, Nightfox
(forgot the real name): Dorian, Diana(?)
Tom Craig: Ryuga the dragon
Rob Hayden(?): Tirandor

Anyone I missed, please tell me the character and I'll make sure you get the
translation too. And sorry Jim...just remembered you name...

You know Brian, you really shouldn't be wasting bandwith with post that people
can not read. Just post the translation with a note that most of you can not
understand what is said. That way we don't get gibberish and the log ends up
with something that makes sense. Besides, some of us might want to follow what
is going on, even if we can't say anything about it.

This foriegn tongue post is basically the same as an Encrypt.
