K, you shall remain enlightened.

Btw Laurie, I hadnt heard of that speech before, even though I live in plymouth. But I'll concede it is rather more succinct than I managed to write.

Oh, I did however glom the "WE ARE STILL HERE!" bit from morpheus' speech to zion in the matrix 3.

All sorted. :D .
Im not sure how long I can keep the story running though, as people tend to get written out when they die/get limbs hacked off.

Any suggestions people?

You can count me in.

Bad.
Forgetful.

Oh, I am in already?

What you could do is forget that some people die/lose limbs, etc.

Nah, that would only work for a forgetful evil overlord, like er, wossisname. Begins with a, you know, written thing.

How about necromancy?

I realise I am WAAAYYY behind the 8-ball here - but can you count me in?

It would be entirely appropriate for me to have 3 personalities...

And a short summary of me - "Kiwi - with itchy feet"

Its never too late, I can always squeeze someone in.
Check out the updated issue.
Am loving the Zell avatar, btw.

Your request has been implemented.

As you didnt state good or bad, you will be neutral.

I must admit that progress has slowed recently, as both my G.F and daughter have a stomach bug.
So I am acting unpaid nurse this week, and can only manage a few paragraphs at a time. Enjoy.

Hope you enjoy, Kiltly boy. (And there)

I hope that the persona "Cinders" takes over soon. Since Griever the Bear reacts only to the smell of the being that cured him from the arrows, he'll stay faithful to the body with that smell whether it belongs to Cinders or to Kahrey. Since Cinders is evil, I'll have two powerful allies strategically placed right in the middle of the enemy camp.
That and finding a dictionary from ... Italian? Portuguese? ...whatever... to ..some other language, that will permit me to understand the user's manual of my Doomsday Device.....
And then I'll turn Spellinkland's army into enough pasties to satisfy Tollbaby for her entire lifetime.
Laurie I'll confine in my dungeon and compel to write lines from dawn to dusk:
"Aïe chèle note smache maï Emmeperore fore ize spèlingue, bikoze ize spèlingue ize djeuste aze goude aze maïne, ife note bèteur"

I meant to say either - but with 3 personalities that opens up whole possibilities...

The "Kiwi - with itchy feet' simply refers to me being a Kiwi - and having that "I can do anything with a bit of #8 wire and sticky tape" attitude, and the itchy feet means that I love travelling - have lived in many countries - and hopefully have somewhat of a cosmopolitan outlook on other cultures...

Dont edit after a quote helit!

I have edited according to your wishes, and I also advise against asking me for preferencial treatment (I, for example, feature very little.)

Youve found time to pop back in and cause inconsistancies, so I take it she wasnt in then?
