    @Slanputin I can't wait to see your theory and how it differs from @thedarkfourth should be an intriguing and thought provoking discussion!

    Ha, I feel like it's more likely to be a series or remarks masquerading as insight. We shall see. o_O

    I think we all enjoy a good masquerade! Put a little confidence behind it and it is as good as the truth!

    The only reason I used actual swear words was mainly because marhlect is really for lizardmen as it wouldn't fit for the sorcerer or the hooman

    Haha! I got that from "Slannada" where in Canada? Looks about 45 minutes from my house but not too sure.

    I've shredded my leg but apart from that it's fun, I maybe resemble the saurus in Fear prehaps?

    Point taken.

    Three way tie, huh?

    If you liked it then you better put a vote on it.


    EDIT Read the post below, and then the next bit of this one.

    @thedarkfourth You and @Otzi'mandias are messing with my head. I didn't think either of you had time to enter this comp. Mind you, I didn't think Essmir did either...


    EDIT 2 - WRT to themes - I developed a big list of themes recently, and there is always the "Ratty's Big Hat of Themes" technique from the U-E - here he pulls two unrelated keywords out of the warp.

    I have decided that knowing / choosing the theme doesn't give an advantage in the comps - unless you have written the perfect story and choose the theme to suit - breaking the original story requirement. (But there is plenty of bending of that rule happening anyway)

    If a future winner is interested talking themes with me or others, they will never be able to prove anything anyway - I've just discovered that evidence can just "disappear".

    Edit 3 - I said something embarrassing at work today, Scalenex. Is there any chance you could...?
