We may have some downtime

[Dread Poet Jethro]

Three deity games
And each is quite moribund
Ain't it ironic!

Especially on
The supposed Judgement Day
Still...Nietzsche is wrong!

Now see, I actually speak english, so it's men-OLL-ee.

While I don't think I have what is known as a southern accent at all, I can see how this pronunciation would be the anglicized version of how I pronounce it. Thanks Murrin.

Excuse the opinion of a relative newcomer...but for nearly half of this thread to have been diverted to a discussion of how one member's username is said? This is appropriate? We have nothing better to occupy our time with?

Of course, Cambo!

Clearly, how to say the name of someone most of us know only online is at best a marginal topic. Even if how we utter the name in our heads differs from how others do so, who cares? We all know who it is. Those who go to Albuquerque may have to toe the line of saying it one specific way (it appears that Menolly will be going to the ballyhoed fest...), but otherwise, machts nicht!

I think that the period of the IP outage Vain was warning of has now passed...but there have been other topics broached since the thread was started. Let's now perseverate on the question raised by DPJ of how it came to pass that all three of the deity games in Gravin Threndor (Pantheon, Aesir/Vanir and Acropolis) are all either on declared hiatus or long-pending results at the same time. Game addicts (Fist, Menolly and others) are suffering. Does nobody care?? Oh, the humanity... err Deity!

Nope.

Yep, me too.

no - if you see the buddha in the road - you must kill him...
