Not with a bang but with magma jokes taking over the Curses subforum.

It's only a matter of time before they invade *gasp* the whole lower forums! We must act quickly.

I would suggest using magma but that's a bit like using the One Ring to fight Sauron...

I haven't read any fiction books in months. The last fiction book I read was The Human Stain. Before that, I read all Kurt Vonnegut books I could scavenge.

As for non-fiction... I'm currently reading a book about Swarm Intelligence. Too bad all the libraries nearby are running out of math/computer science books I haven't read already... luckily, I'll be able to use the University Library within a month, and the "supplies" should last until then.

As for fiction books I'd like to read... I read Edward Rutherfurd's New York a bit over a year ago. I loved it, but I couldn't find any of the other historical fiction pieces by him in the libraries... I don't think they've been translated into Finnish - no problem otherwise, but the English sections of Finnish libraries are often rather modest...

Okay, still waiting for Riccto's char sheet... I'm off to bed now though, I'll hopefully check back after work tomorrow to present you with shopping lists and some other stuff to do before starting the action.

Is that any different from advertising creating unrealistic expectation of wealth, health, or anything else? Okay, I understand why this make you mad, but do you think that only that kind of advertising is crass, or didn't I see you raging about any other kind due to pure chance.

Ooh, a thing about unrealistic health expectations!

In Finland, a meat producer HK advertised pig meat that was supposedly "Better for your heart" because the pigs had been fed with field mustard. Consumer and marketing officials demanded to see proof for the healthiness claim, because a food product must have proven health effects before they can be presented in marketing.

HK declined. The reason? "Better for your heart" is not a healthiness claim. Eventually, after months of illegal marketing, they gave up. No, they didn't admit they were wrong, just that they got too much negative pressure.

Can I join?

Sure.

Dungeons and Dungeon Keeper aren't even in the same genre.  Dungeon Keeper is an RTS, Dungeons is a Tower Defense.

<nitpick>Tower Defense is a subgenre of RTS.</nitpick>

Charisma needs 3. Otherwise, you'll have nothing to lose if your face gets torn off. (and it guarantees you won't auto-fail most rolls)

Ahra, you've 5 points left unless I'm counting off somehow...
