This is almost a sickness heh. Just sad
It seems as if many people here have attitudes. What's with all the hostility and the negative energy?
Well, its complex, but I have the key.
In 1945, Nazi Germany had only one hope of salvation: The Saltine Cracker! Disguised as a harmless carbohydrate, the Saltine successfully infiltrated American and European food markets. It snuggled into the cupboard of every home, every apartment, every back-woods moonshine shack. Soon, yes soon, the world will tremble at the unveiling of the Saltine's true power...
But the Nazis suffered a terrible setback late in 1945 when they lost the Second World War. Hitler, disguised as Lisa Marie Presley, stowed away on a luxury cruise liner in the south pacific where he and Tojo commenced to formulate plans to reemerge once the Saltine take-over was complete. Fortunately for us, Hitler's disguise led him to eventually marry Elvis Presley where he was accidentally fed into a meat grinder and later consumed by his then-husband, the King of Somethingorother.
Tojo was later seen in Vegas doing one-man renditions of "Hello Dolly!". He died at the age of 89 after choking bacstage on a wry pantyhose.
So you see, thw world is safe and Saltines are not ruling us as Crackers dominating the breadth of human-kind. In the early eighties, some Dragonlance games and novels were written finding tremendous success for then struggling company, TSR. Dragonlance produced a number of fans who later migrated here with the intervention of the Internet (created by Al Gore and CLark Gable). And on these boards, you'll find many Dragonlance fans who may - just may - be eating or have possession of Saltine crackers.
Meaning... well, you know. Be cool.
And that, Ladies and Gentlemen, is one of the reasons why Rooks is one of the most beloved, yet rarely seen, members of these boards.
Aww man...
*Sniff*.... I wuv you guys!!!!
Aww man...
*Sniff*.... I wuv you guys!!!!
And we, uh..., wuv you too, man! :inlove:
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, the one....
The only....
ROOKS!
Rooks, I totally get what you're saying about the saltine. It makes so much sense!
That's like how the danish led to the rising of communism, which ties into the death of Marilyn Monroe. ;)
Greetings and salutations to all. I am new to the D&D website and I love Dragonlance. A friend of mine told me about this place and I'd like to join your community. Is it a friendly place?
Welcome to the board.
For the most part, it is friendly.
Oh, and stay on Rooks good side. He makes Verminaard look like Mr. Fred Rogers.
Cheers,
Cam
I have no idea what all of these people are on about, Taminier, but welcome to the Dragonlance message boards. Hopefully you'll find some benefit in exchanging your thoughts and ideas about Dragonlance gaming with the other folks here.
Cheers,
Cam
I knew it, just knew it! Cam's gotten into the Saltines again!

I might break into the crackers if some people's suspicions are correct, but until that's made more obvious, I'm staying clear of the things.
Cheers,
Cam
Just kidding, most of us are nicer here, some more than me, i mean others.
Uh, steer clear of that green cloaked sorceror fellow, and any red robed wizard. Again, kidding.
Now, where did i put my saltines?
Which, for anybody wondering, translates to "My name is Legion, for we are many."
I'm not sure why you'd choose to put that in there, but I think I can draw some conclusions.

Cam

Whatever could you be talking about Cam? Why, surely nothing untoward is occurring ...
That is the beauty of Latin, you can say the same thing in so many ways.
That quote is taken from Fr. Reginald Foster OCD, who works for the Vatican's Secretary of State and does all of the offical translations from and into Latin.

No, the beauty of Latin is that you don't say the same thing in so many ways. It's the most structured language still in use.
That quote is taken from Fr. Reginald Foster OCD, who works for the Vatican's Secretary of State and does all of the offical translations from and into Latin.
My correction to your quote comes directly from the Latin Vulgate of the New Testament, so I don't know what Fr. Reginald is using, but it's a little off.

Cam
For those who truly understand Latin, and have learned it not just from a book but in practical use, and have had to read and translate documents and sayings, we understand the fluidity of Latin better than the layman. Sorry, CAM, I dont mean to sound rude, but studying with Fr. Foster who has been translating documents for 25+ years and is a student of latin for the past 60, I would be hard pressed to argue against his insights.

Which is why you seem to have changed your quote to match Cam's suggestion, I suppose.
Not that I should have to explain myself, but I did it for those who are not fortunate to know the lingua franca of both the Middle Ages and the Church.
I don't doubt that.

Right, like anybody else seems to care one way or the other.

Cam, for someone who is supposed to be working for Sov Press you sure are insulting arent you? Gives your employeers a great reputation doesnt it?
I don't know - were you insulted?
Dude, I'm happy to accept you back into the DLMB community and forget everything, but your behavior's already looking really familiar.
Cheers,
Cam

If he is that old you gotta figure his mind is probably slipping anyway. So maybe he has no flipping clue what he is talking about anymore.
I am just messing with you I am sure Fr. Foster knows his Latin.
And just have to ask, are you possessed by an unclean spirit and that is why you put the quote in?
EDIT: Sorry forgot to say Welcome to the Boards. I am fairly new here also so I really cannot say if people here are nice or not. Reserving my judgment for now.

I found it quite insulting. You are questioning my background and my study of the last 9 years and you are trying to dismiss it with a who cares?
What do you mean my behavior is looking familiar? If a person is trying to defend themselves how is that not a familiar action?

People here are nice for the most part.
You will have to forgive us if we seem a bit odd on this thread, but we recently had a board member who went off the deep end a bit, causing major amounts of spam and flaming. WotC Mel had to step in and handle it.
Normally, the boards are okay. I enjoy the discussions.
Welcome to any and all new guests on the board.
Now, young one, I'd like my tea. NO LEMON!
Maybe your not... I don't know. Personally my ten years on the internet and seeing this time and time again on countless boards makes me think you probably are him under a different name. If you are, its sad, and immature. If your not, than you just have really bad timing.
Either way, I don't care. This will probably be the only time I directly respond to you on any thread.
I'll make this real clear. A certain person (and the mess he made) was removed for acting immature, you joined hours afterward asking "if we're nice". Your post rate 39.28 posts per day, and opinions (Cyan Bloodbane Dracolich) make it seem to us that you are him, just back to be a troll.

You're blaming the poster, whom you cannot be certain whether it is a troll or a newbie, on bad timing?
If you are not certain, don't respond. Simple as that.
P.S. No need to respond to this post.
You know, you people, for the most part, are not at all welcoming. If you dont like a person, why dont you just ignore them? That would be the MATURE thing to do.
If you insist.
Cheers,
Cam

And a choir of angels sang out thy Many Names, in turn with voices of clear and vivid song- oh, hearken unto thee, o members of the Dragonlance boards...
...all except that impostor fellow in the corner.
Oh, and stay on Rooks good side. He makes Verminaard look like Mr. Fred Rogers.
This is true. Better yet, I'll put on Mr. Roger's sweater and Verminard's mask and cape, come to your house, and just get weird in ways that ex-cons don't like to discuss.
WHY AM I YELLING?
I'M NOT YELLING!
Ok. Cool. Problem solved.
Peace all! :D
What to do what to do?
Boo hoo? No way.
I am not here to be liked, though if you do, that is okay.
MOB MENTALITY runs these boards doenst it?
Why are people entertaining the continuation of this thread any way?
Sheer entertainment.
Cheers,
Cam
. But at least he's completely comverted to the new one.. I guess thats something.heh the last couple days I've been waiting for him to go the extra mile and open up two different IE's with different logins, just to prove it was different. But..I was sadly dissappointed
Fallaces sunt rerum species. As they say.

I just hope Sith does not see this thread; I can hear the *click* already.
I kinda hope he does...it's getting a little bit out of control...

Heh, I was just going to say the same. You beat me to it.
Besides, watching Sith in action is always good fun. Now, I don't know Randal that well, but I bet he'll be entertaining in his own right.
Perhaps we should go over some of the offenses, shall we?
1. Forum Disruption
2. Spamming
3. Posting in other languages - Sorry, the WizOs don't allow it.
4. Off-topic - I haven't seen where this has anything to do with Dragonlance.
There's this nifty little button at the top right-hand side of each post that looks like a sign with an exclamation mark. That nifty button allows one to report bad posts/threads. I would recommend that if any find this thread to be a disruption, offensive, or what have you, that they use this nice feature of the VBulletin software.

None of the above, really. Just oddly annoying. I'm trying to stay out of it...
I was like man.. I think we've gone a little too far. Then I realized I just read it wrong =p
heh the last couple days I've been waiting for him to go the extra mile and open up two different IE's with different logins, just to prove it was different. But..I was sadly dissappointed
I'm sure if he could login as his old self he would have by now. Maybe next time he screws up royally his entire ip will be blocked. One can only hope.

Typically, a screen name is banned first, and then if the person logs in with a new screen name and still causes problems, it becomes an IP ban.

Ahh. That's good to know. Thanks for the info.
How sophmoric.
Dude...come on...will you please stop egging them on?
Look, we know that you are Amaron...but so what, who cares? Loggin in under a different screen name ain't a crime (and I'm sure after the spams yesterday, it was your only choice). But, there's no use pretending anymore, all it will do is get under people's skin (things have a tendancy of doing that when people think they're trying to be outsmarted)...so can we just accept that and move on?
Taminier isn't doing anything wrong...it's okay to use a different screen name (especially if the original is taken from you), so we should leave him alone about it, but Taminier, you've got to stop goading people into jumping on you...'cause they're gonna do it.
I know I started the whole damn thing with my comment...and I'm really sorry it got so far out of control...but can't we just end this?
Let's talk about DragonLance.
~~~
Pretty simple solution huh?
Why don't people just ignore this thread if they want it to stop? Presto!
Pretty simple solution huh?
The only problem is this thread is like a train wreck. We know it's a horrible thing and what not, but strangely, we can't stop looking at it, and then it becomes too tempting to add our $.02. *shrugs*
and that is...
I'm not the most hated person on this board?
Frankly speaking, I'm shocked.
Here I am, using old school dragonlance knowledge in debate against you guys and you took the time out to say "you'e not the most hated"
Well...*sniff* you guys rock. *munches on saltine*
Could it be, an apology?
I assume this is aimed at me (you should learn to use quotes)? If so...don't push it.
Also the problem isn't that he came on with a different login, its the fact that the thread started out as trying to deceive..
I know...and I said as much in my post...
ARGH! Damnit...I've been sucked in.
Fool me once shame on you
Fool me twice shame on me?
I think were all forgetting the most important thing here...

Look, if they tolerate me, they'll tolerate you. Especially after the last time a large scale boards mob tried to unseat me and had to deal with Scrape. And also because I'm continuously coated in royal jelly, but let's not get into specifics on that on, eh?
And put down that Saltine! Don't you know?!? Don't you?!?
*sits in darkened corner with a cigorette* *puff* of course I know, Mulder, I'm to blaim. so what are you going to do? Kill me? I'm not important. Sure I have a little power, but I'm a little fish compared to the great evil council known as They for they say everything...
*snort, spit* They, Mr. Ares? You don't know square one about They, Mr. Ares. And with good reason. Every nibble on a Saltine cracker you take, every move you make, every breath you take - They're over there, watching you. With... you know, binoculars. Or possibly a... more advanced... version.
Sting's watching too, you know. They call him the Queen Mother. Go do the math on that one if you dare.
