Ah, but you're missing the point somewhat. The game is supposed to be seperate from the real world. What happens in WAR stays in WAR, and vice versa. While in the real world yes, it is an example of the free market and the glories of capitalism, in the game it shatters any attempt to create a...

Never during a film or TV show, but I will admit to ahving cried over books. I remember Tarka the Otter when I was about 7, but more recently The Time Traveller's Wife.

And these few precepts in thy memory See thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue, Nor any unproportioned thought his act. Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar. Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel; But do not dull thy palm...

Bloody liberals, taking our jobs... Or: Work is the curse of the drinking classes.

Wow, guys, I'm impressed. We're on the third page and we've only had four mentions of "religious people" (5 if you count the atheist quip). When I saw the topic I was expecting a string of extreme-left agree religion-hate posts. Anyway, things I don't get: Modern dance. It's always struck me...

"I like nuclear power except for we have several of the same reactors used in Chernobyl O_O" There wasn't actually a hardware problem with Chernobyl. The meltdown was caused by workers there pushing the limits of the security system to see how far it could go without breaking.

I play both cello and piano to diploma standard, unlike most people who say they play piano when what they really mean is that they can play the left hand chords to Smoke on the Waters and the coldplay thing. Also I sing as a professional baritone, and give regular public performances on all...

The intro music for "Epic", the WoW Radio Show as my ringtone. The murloc aggro noise as my text alert.

Go and read the Dorothy L. Sayers novels starring Peter Wimsey. There is a model gentleman beyond compare.

Such loose definitions. Speaking as a Lord of the Realm, I can modestly consider myself a gentleman, and class does come in to it. The rule of thumb I was taught was: "If you can put Esquire on your envelope, you can call yourself a gentleman." Also I would say that not knowing what a gentleman...

An aristocratic English accent. That's about it really. When once asked why villains in Hollywood films were always English, Anthony Hopkins replied: "I think it's because Americans distrust intelligence."

Thief: Shadows, silence, subtlety.

Actually, it read to me like the kind of thing that would be drawn up between two painfully intelligent young people who genuinely cared for each other and their relationship. The kind of thing that would be drawn up in equal parts as jest and serious guideline. However, you're right in that it...
