Fable Q&A

Maharlika · Post by **Maharlika** » Thu Apr 03, 2008 1:04 am

Talk about Creationism and Evolution all in one thread!

Tolden CREATED a thread imploring personal info (and attention, mind you) from the resident slumming Babylonian god, and now it has EVOLVED from the CREATION of the BSG cult to an animated discussion on the merits of BSG.

Well done. Only in SYM fellas, only in SYM.

Yeah, we didn't even get to speculate on Fable's peferred presidential candidate yet, or whether he really looks like one of the chess knights from Secret of Mana...

As a side note, besides the BSG penchant and Fable fan club membership we don't know much about Tolden yet either. Maybe s/he could [url="http://www.gamebanshee.com/forums/speak-your-mind-16/the-updated-anatomy-of-gamebanshee-members-no-spam-10615-p29.html"]help us out?[/url]

Would you pay an undisclosed amount in forged credit vouchers to anybody with the word "weasel" in their name?

Did you get the fez, yet?

Nope, nein, and niet.

Umm.

As for your question, Tolden, I think some would give such answer as; for the sheep.

But, why do did decide to use the username 'Tolden' as your username?

It's just the RPG name I've used for years and years, I figured it appropriate for a RPG oriented forum. I wish I could remember where I picked it up, but I've used it through WoW, EQ, BG2, and BG1.

@Millieway, why is your user name Millieway?

And as we all know, doing anything that others don't agree to, as a group, is considered a form of heresy in the United Religion of America.

Fable, are you overdosing on your inhalers?

Since when did the gods start denouncing their exclusiveness????? This is disturbing… I suspect slumming is to blame. No worry, there is nothing little worship can't cure.
I can't guarantee quality worshipers though. I guess a few kneelin' and repentin' SYM fellas

will have to suffice.
Black-tasseled fezzes, bouffant pantaloons, and pink fur handcuffs are optional.

And this is even more disturbing:

LD:

I am not sure about loins but I am definitely planning to watch BSG this Friday. So Say We All!

Fable:

Now, you see, that's one thing none of us slumming gods ever did in Babylon: we never referred to ourselves in the third person plural.

LD:

So say we all is a quote from Battlestar Galactica. The third person plural? We?

Fable:

But you are sooo regal! You're not going to tell us that "Lady" part is assumed, surely?

LD:
I am afraid I don't understand what you are talking about, now. What has the "Lady" part to do with "we" being called "the third person plural"?

Nope and I don't think you really answered the question posed to you. Nobody asked you how your name is what it is, but why. So if you're going to ask questions you should answer the same! Now here is a question for you from me! Do you enjoy pickled ginger with your sushi?

Read it again. I'm sure it'll make sense.

Tolden has raised an excellent point. This is *not* the time to dodge questions that could involve military preparedness and national security. Millieway, you will respond--or you will be faced with the consequences.

As for what those are, let's just state that they involve two dead mackerel, a strip shop, and a bust of Queen Victoria. Don't make us do things we won't regret!

I disagree. I believe I have answered the question quite satisfactory. Especially when taking the nature of question in consideration.

Here is an example:

Jill: What on earth has happened in here? Why does our door look like that?
Jack: Well, you remember Bob, the ironmonger from Petunia Street. He had a real bargain offer, a bucket of red paint for a pound. And since you’ve nagged about how the door should be repainted, I took the initiative. Too bad the red paint ran out when I still had half of the door to paint, but luckily, I found some yellow paint in the garage to finish it. Since I found little bit of blue paint left too, I decided to decorate our newly painted door with some blue dots. I left the door to dry, went inside, where I felt my urge to smoke, I grasped for my cigarettes, and headed outside for a quick smoke. As I usually do - I leaned on the door, but I am afraid the paint was still a bit wet, and here we are.

About pickled ginger and sushi; I once thought ginger was green. Majority of the spices I use to spice up my cooking tend to be green. Thus, I would say the misconception is understandable. I did indeed once try pickled ginger - by pickling the ginger by myself. Nevertheless, I am not sure if I did it right, or if I allowed it to be too fermented. After closer inspection, it contained rather large quantities of ethanol, the taste was not as bad as you could imagine. However, my memory is a little bit foggy on what happened afterwards.

I must say that pickled pickles and sushi do mix up rather well. I wouldn’t eat raw or dried fish without some pickles to accompany it on the plate.

As for as it goes to things Fable has expressed: HAH! You’ll never catch me storing kegs of gun powder under the House of Parliament.

@millieway

....Yeah, I realize this is a spam thread...but jeez. I was asking why you are called Millieway, as in what significance does the name have. There was no need to twist the context to suit your answer better.

Here, I'll even go first if it's that big a deal...

"Siberys, why are you called Siberys?"

Well, it's because of my favorite dungeons and dragons setting known as Eberron that created this mystery about Siberys Dragonshards, which are gems that fall from the sky as if a very regular meteor shower in an unexplored continent. The unpredictability, Elusiveness, and Aloofness of how a siberys shard falls represents a good chunk of my personality, as I am a short term thinking person and do things one at a time to see where I go from there.

Now...Millieway, why are you called Millieway?

Exactly.
It's a lot easier to find a parliament with rail road tracks going under it. Load the train with gunpowder instead and take the train there. Saves you a lot of carrying.

What do you prefer to store under Parliament, then? Just curious.

By the way, welcome to SYM. You and Tolden clearly are meant for this place, just as we all are, and I mean that in the worst way. Feel free to check out all the serious threads, and the spam threads, and the very spam threads that slowly cause your brains to leak out through your nose. In fact, it's because of this last that we regularly recommend to new SYMians that they not read the forum while eating, since brain matter tends to be salty, and everybody will tell you that salty food is bad for you.
