I think it is great that my adopted daughter is going to join sages
group.Oh yeah,I forgot to tell Lina that I adopted her.
Take care of her Sage and teach her everything you know. |
Courage isn't the lack of fear but rather believing in and doing what you know is right even though fear is present.

im so jealous....!!!
I was totally saying in the munchies thread that Sage's home games look awesome. sigh.
Sage wouldn't want me at his home games afterall. South Africans and Australians = not mix, specially now after the world cup. Rugby is a national swear word now  what a terrible performance. Sage, can I move to your country? |

You are always welcome here MuadDib. I have plenty of room in my home for 'guests'. I'll just have to ask my girl-friend (nicely of course  ) if she wouldn't mind vacating her room, so that I can have a few gaming friends stay over .
As for the World Cup, well...I do not really follow 'Sports' (sports-worship is like a religion in this country) - since I'd rather read a novel, than watch a football game - so I really cannot comment on what you are saying. In fact the only thing you could say that I know about this 'World Cup' thing, is that it is here in Australia...the advertisements have been nearly non-stop.

Oh, come now, Sage. Do you think there's a single 'Keeper who doesn't recognize that one?
As for sports, I hadn't even known there was a world cup going on, for anything. Part of that would be the usual American isolationism (that don't-care-about-anything-outside-of-the-US-unless-it-directly-affects-our-lives attitude), but mostly it would be because I tend to zone out when the sports report comes on. And the sports page is probably the least read section of the newspaper in this house . . . . |

No birds, but I've got a nice stone fireplace that gets me all warm and toasty, and since the sports pages light up so fast, I don't have to look at them anymore.  |

Now, sometimes skill will come into play, and my interest overcomes my boredom. (I've often said that I'm interested in everything; it's just sometimes I get too bored with a subject.) That's why I like figure skating; some people [cough]Mournblade[/cough] say that it's too much like dancing. I see it as a wonderful combination of skill and asthetic beauty.
Now, if they just had fencing, martial arts, and chess on those things, I could get used to it. There's something I'd like to see in instant replay. |

I can see the figure skating fencing and the martail arts would be wicked but how would they play chess? |

The Australian State and National Chess Tournaments are played on public access national television here, every year. I should know, because I was in the State finals....
As for fencing displays, well...yes, that is something I could get used to as well, although martial arts just isn't what I am looking for - I prefer strategy and tactics (chess), rather than raw displays of physical prowess (martial arts). I guess that is why I like wargaming so much...

Yes I can perfectly take care of myself, you don't have to worry about that *does a karate kick*
Yes I'm so lovable that William has adopted me, along with my other "mums". |

| Actually, martial arts -- the real kind, not just trained brawling -- are just like fencing. Just no pointy bits involved. Unfortunately, there's the same problem involved. Unless you're using a choreographed fight, the action is too hard to follow, since the camera doesn't know where to point itself until it's done. That's when you'd have to watch it in slow-motion -- unless you know enough about it to follow the action. |

I have actually only been in the UAE for 5 months, still very new here.
Am a home bread proud to be born farmer from SA, where rugby, as Sage said, is like a religion. Im not a huge sports fan, whole family is though, so keep my eye on the news.
We really should organise some sort of meeting. I mean it would be so awesome. Who of us here are the globetrotters? Kind of makes you wish we were living in our novels, where one could simlpy pack up and leave as you wish. Adventure the realms as it were. No BS about passport control and all that.

Well, I am not a 'globetrotter' in the traditional sense of the word, but I have travelled to several other countries from time to time, either as a holiday or as part of my job.
As for Passports, well no, they really wouln't be a factor in Faerun, but we do know that several kingdoms and realms have strict laws for visitors and immigrants journeying into their domains. Cormyr for example, and Zhentil Keep. While a passport is not required, the visitors do have to obey and observe several customs and laws in order to remain within the realms limits.

well i dont know much about martial arts and all that. just basic girly stuff. But learning it could be useful.
I'm not really a globetrotter myself, just like to travel. Unlike one of my cousins who quit their job and went backpacking around europe for a year. Thats what you'd call a globetrotter. |

I should take offense to that, being a martial artist, but I won't...
But I will make a note of this opinion, and try not to talk about martial arts that much in the future, seeing as how it is received here.
