] Der Reverend-end-end (ah doo run, run, a doo run, run)
Please. If you're going to spell my name right, at least have the common
courtesy of using the "approved" typo. The Revered. Thank you.
]I would consequently suggest that you seek your rights as a Hopelessly Deluded
]American as well.
Nope, sorry, won't do it. I feel that you are making fun of me merely on my
personality. Watch it buddy, or I'll sic the ACLU on you!
]Would you believe Game-Balance-Challenged?
]Perhaps Differing-Interpretation-Empowered?
Possibly.
]True...but e'en Cybercarps can get old...although I rather cogitate that the
]effects of extensive utilization shall manifest previous to any debilitating
]manifestations of old age shall surface.
I.E. You'd mark down "wear and tear" of the carp on your insurance forms.
>And? No worse than the great ghost dance.
]Ahhh...but for PLAYER CHARACTERS?
How about the Wild Hunt? Clearly, you have espoused the use of the "Mild Hunt"
(which, I might add, is nowhere in the rules, and therefore would change Game
Balance(tm). I might warn you that that might be considered Munchkin.). And,
considering the consideration that has been given to it on the list, why not
Blood Magic? If I set up a reasonable story, then no GM would have problems
with it. And if I am (as you so unreasonably insist) that I'm a munchkin, then
I claim the rights of Munchkind, allowing me to use Blood Magic. :-b
]"We have a guest today, boys & girls, Dick Clark, from American Bandstand. Can
]you say, 'American Bandstand?'"
No, no, no... you're basing this off of the current history. Considering the
president we currently have, shouldn't that be "Amerikan"?
(at this point The Reverend turns 90 degrees or so, and looks you (yes, you!
The one reading the message! Not just Doom) directly in the eye. "What did
you expect? I'm from a 'bastion of conservatism'! And I know _I_ didn't vote
for her! Or even him!"
]"And EXACTLY how do you keep looking so young, Mr. Clark?"
]"Well, I keep in touch with America's youth."
]"Ahhh...can you say, 'Keeping in touch with America's youth?'"
][Facial Surgery]
No, the way he's kept his appearance for these many years. Hmmm, what critter
can YOU think of that has Immunity to Age? Yes, kids, a vampire. Makes you
wonder where specifically he keeps in touch with Amerika's youth, doesn't it?

]"Reverend, you fail to grasp the concept of Game Balance, approach that you
] might see..."
]"Observe closely, class: Boot to the head!" *WHOOOSH* *THWACK*
"You missed"
]"You are fortunate, Reverend, few novice Munchkins experience quite so much of
] Game Balance so soon."
Hey! I object! Who're you calling Novice? *smirk*

Or, as another member has stated (Roberson, I believe), especially away from
Flaming Liberal Arts.
]Of course. Although the reason they remain nameless is due to the fact they
]possess number in their stead! (YOU are Number 6...)
Actually, no. More like 123-456-7890 (ss#, for those of you keeping score.
And I don't wanna know if that works as a phone number!)
>Gee, and to top it off, the good Doctor didn't even give credit to the source.
>so here it is: --Douglas Adams, Hitchiker's Trilogy
No, it was an appropriation, an acquisition, a deviation, if you will.
Moreover, you do not credit your own quote:
>"They called me the Reverend when I entered the church unstained"
I need not credit it. If you would quote the REAL line, you'd see there is no
place to credit Genesis. Additionally, I have been using this name for well
over a year now, and many people either recognize the quote, or the name. I
need not credit it. It has become part of my "appearance" on the net, if you
will. Additionally, unlike some people, I am trying to keep my signature to a
managable level. I have mentioned overly long signatures to certain people on
this list, and I would feel it hypocritical to have a long .sig. I keep the
sig down to a decent level, so that it doesn't take up too much space on an
account. Note the sum total of 4 lines (the sig identifier "---" and three
lines of a signature), as opposed to, say, yours (shown below). (8 lines+)
