    [​IMG] Always glad to see I'm keeping everyone amused! ;) See, that's what you get when you confuse the Paladin/RPG me, and the me IRL! :D

    I think the only common theme between the two (okay, other than the occasional tumble with the lasses ;) j/k) is that IRL and in playing a paly I generally do what I think is "right" under the circumstances...Whatever they happen to be at the time.

    [​IMG] Huh? What's that barely perceptible noise?

    <peers out the window of his lofty tower>

    Why it's Apprentice Silroth attempting an assault upon my tower! Tsk, tsk will these upstart Apprentices never learn? Where's my Wand of Apprentice Banishment?

    <Rummages around through the disorganization that is my tower>

    Hmmm... OK then. Where's my Staff of Upstart Smiting?

    <Rummages some more>

    Blast! I *must* clean this place up! Where's my Boot of Mighty Arse Kicking then?

    <Rummages briefly then absentmindedly goes back to his Wizardly duties>

    BTW - The post in question was repaired :)

    [​IMG] Yes, the next archmage in training over here at Boards O' Magick (that'd be Blackthorne) has been given an exclusive Rod of Thread Fixing.
    Still, if something goes horribly wrong (how oddly familiar that sounds), the true Sorcerer is still here to bring things back to normal.
    And if I can't fix it, I can still disintegrate anyone who might have noticed the problem. It is ever so convenient, and you don't even have to clean the mess after...

    Yeah, but you still need a good dustbuster to get rid of the powdered remains.

    [​IMG] Well, since someone asked about the "transgender" experience...I am a (heterosexual) woman playing a man. I did it because I wanted to go the evil route, yet didn't want to miss out on the whole romance thing. It gets a little weird sometimes, but anything is better than Anomen! Bleah.

    I started out as a female paladin having a romance with Anomen, but I just couldn't stomach either LG or him. It is strange playing a man having a romance with not only a female but a DROW -- then again, maybe having her evil is best...she is not like me then! Now THAT would be weird.

    It is also odd playing LE (I wanted to be a monk) because that is the exact opposite of my natural alignment (CG) -- But hey: Isn't that why they call it an RPG? Certainly, I am having way more fun than I ever had playing good female characters.

    It's still only chapter 2 though...if I have an identity crisis or turn lesbian or something, I'll be sure to post about it ;)

    caleb - We would actually prefer around here if you wouldn't post a lot of nonsense and unrelated garbage in threads. You've already posted about R'syil following you around; once is enough. Please stick to the topic of the thread as much as possible and don't feel you need to post something in every thread. Thank you.

    <The Management> ;)
