Get real....These are gamers not talk show hosts..We are all narrow
minded and set in our ways..

You missed mine all together..Do you "Demonstrate THE Nintendo
Entertainment System"???

> 1) I am sick - Well, yes, I suppose I am. I hereby freely admit it.

Then you should fit right in as long as you first learn to take a
deep breath and remember that if you present the list with things to
review for whatever reason..you are going to have that item
critiqued..Constructive or otherwise..if you cannot handle that don't
do it..especially if you present a very over the edge king of idea..

> Besides, shifters are truly munchkinous. :)

I dissagree completely..A Shifter is far too restricted to be
munchie..But that is another topic all together..

If I were your GM it would place you into shock the first time you
used it..I have been there and damage of the sort you are talking
about is much more severe than anything I have experianced..and I am
a -very- rational person in an emergency situation..training..And I
have experianced shock of a sort that alters preceptions..So
measuring against those experiances I would place a PC into deep
shock as soon as a big ol' chunk of flesh is scooped..

That house rule is from the house of FASA..Sounds to me like you need
to look closer at the Rule Books..

Only as clear as crystal..

Well..sometimes..But part of the exchange is acceptance..

Or do we just jump all over anyone who posts them and

Well that all depends on the original post as well as the
subsequent ones..Oh and don't forget the direction the wind is
blowing..I have not been following the other posts..and didn't pay
too much attention until this particular post.. A few words of advice
if I may..Even if I may no..here ya go.. Words are only words
afterall and nobody has ever died because of a word..er..well That is
except for perhaps "Fire" shouted at an execution..but I
digress..Munchie is just a word..As for your age..you -are- still
fairly young..And only a babe as far as this list..it doesn't take
long to grow well past your years in this however..so be patient..

> 8) What's a THWAP? It looks like a flame to me.

Well..it's not..It is a mild admonishment..as well as a badge of
honor to those who have earned them..It usually means..well perhaps
you skirted a might close to the edge but we like you anyway..

Somehow I doubt that..

See.. ;P
