It doth seem that a rare affliction hath been striking down senior scribes at our fair Keep. This, perchance, may be the reason of so many being unaccounted for...

I'll let her out one of these days. For now, she's having to shout her missives through a speaking cone.

Really...maybe those Cyric Worshipers took them?? Or perhaps those shadows that kid was talking about??

This user's profile states "female." Perhaps it's just a ruse.

I seem to recall zemd being French or something similar and saying that he just liked the female avatar he had, and that he was in fact a guy. I will take a look through the threads and see if I can't dig it up again. As I recall, he corrected a number of users on the use of his name as well, which he insisted was zemd with a lower case 'z'.

Youre right, zemd stated this fact quite some time ago.

Actually, as Sirius said, she's a female, if we believe her profile, of course.

Let me clear this up, as I am (as far as I know) the second Candlekeep scribe to have been told by Zemd that he is, in fact, of the masculine persuasion.

Once, as a much newer scribe than I am today, I asked Zemd what gender-lable I should use when refering to him. After all, he had a female avatar, but back then, his profile said male. A post soon came from Zemd that the male selection was a mistake, and the profile was changed to female.

Several months ago (perhaps closer to a year) Zemd admitted on IM that he was actually male. It turned out that someone (I'm betting on a girlfriend) posted under his name to tweak him. He didn't want me to say anything on Candlekeep, though. Some time later (at least a month), he admitted publicly that one of his chromosomes was missing a leg, surprising many here. I was relieved, because it's very hard to refer to someone without gender lables.

I also asked if he wanted to change the profile, but he said it was like roleplay, and so it has been kept as it is.

Hell hath no fury like all of Candlekeep rising in defense of one of its own.

Hello to all!

Well i have to answer all that questions
- Dantrag: I was away for a good while but i returned and posted some few posts in the 2 previous months. Not as much as i used to, just 1 or 2 every 2 or 3 days. The main reason is that i'm beginning to be sick about the 3E and 3.5E. Behind every modules i see "dozens of new feats" and "new prestige class". So i began to completly change the FR setting (In my campaign, waterdeep has been razed, Khelben dead. Soon Calimshan will fall,...) So i had less and less info to share with you all. But recently i decided to give it an other go, i put back the Midnight Campaingn Setting on my shelves with the other RPG i play (french ones that you surely don't know) and came back here.
I must confess i'm a little bit lost with all that is said here since i don't have access to the latest book (too expensive in english and worthless in french). But i'm trying to catch the ... (can't find the word, it means i'm late), and soon you should see me again posting here.

-The others... indeed, i'm a guy. And Bookwyrm is totally right. I'm quite impressed that he perfectly remembers our conversation.

-And maybe, i'll be able to see some of you IRL since i'm trying to find an internship in the US in finance. If i manage to get one, i'll be there during 6 months from April to October and i'll be able to go to the GenCon.

By all. See you in the corridors of the library.

PS: I quite impressed that i was the subject of one of your discussion. I'll change my avatar and my profil... in fact i'm a doppleganger

[EDIT] And yes it's zemd. I don't really know why... i just prefer it that way
