Congratulations, Sage. An impressive number, indeed.

What scares me a little is that if Sage had gotten around to doing everything on his To-Do list, it would have been 40,000 posts, not a mere 20,000. Congratulations and many thanks anyway!

I think it'd be the other way... He'd be so busy that he'd only have 2,000 posts, not 20,000!

Wooly has the right of it.

Seriously, if I devoted as much time to my "To-Do" list as I do Candlekeep, you'd likely never hear from me.

I'm still trying to make 10K. I've fallen somewhat behind.

Oh, so I've already sent it? Cool. I can strike that off my list.

Don't you get to pick a unique name at 10K?

Title, not name. Sage was originally Loremaster Most High, until I pointed out that the now-current title was more descriptive.

Several folks here dubbed me the Master of Mischief, hence my chosen title.

Aye.

I drew the "Loremaster Most High" title directly from Oghma's entry in Faiths & Avatars. At the time, it seemed appropriate because I was often a regular font for Realms knowledge when Candlekeep was a lot more active than it is now.

But Wooly's suggestion works better, and reflects my personal habits both here and in the real world, so... I decided to stick with that instead.

How about something neutral....since feelings towards you run the gamut.

how about Great Provoker?

Say what you will, but You "provoke" discussion and thoughts......among other things

Id be stunned if at some point Sage hasnt worked on a better battery....

The Sagergizer.....it has twice the power and thrice the potential of conventional batteries, but when a load is applied to it...you cannot really know when the power will be delivered
