Damn it. Now I want to try AoE Parrrley Gangplank.

One thing I've tentatively settled on in relationship to that is to definitely not get iceborn first. Shiv as your first multi-hit seems ideal, as the crit chance (including for parrrley, of course) and crittable proc has been feeling pretty brutal when you first get it, and the extra movespeed lets you leverage that well. Iceborn's... just got stats in a lot of places you don't really need at that point, especially the mana (and I'd probably argue the armor is excessive for a first major item pick), and while it helps with sustain/tankiness a bit (via armor and citrus AP boost), GP doesn't really seem to need much of that early on. Shiv's also a good 750 gold cheaper. Shiv and iceborn together do pretty much just melt creep waves, though, and the extra slow's nice vs. champs.

Next go I have at it, I'll probably take shiv then tiamat, methinks. Iceborn can come later, if at all.

Now I'm suddenly wondering if malady's a thing you'd stick on an AP/hybrid GP, hrm. It'd let you get a bit extra offense out of your AP for parrrley and normal whacks, after all... would help funnel some of that AP towards common use offense instead of sustain and the ult.

... wait a tic. Who the hell is Quinn? Did I completely miss them putting in a hero or somethin'?

+1 adult points gained: Doorknob replaced!

Finally the room intended for me in this house has a lock~

That said, our system will gladly spend thousands of dollars, of which I am barely a pittance,  prosecuting this man for stealing food, but it will not feed him....

Wherefore art thou, o county religious conservatives? Demanding funding cuts for him and so far this year a few dozen others that I've seen, it would seem.

This one hits me pretty often too, True. Some days it feels like folks are too busy pissing on their messiah's teachings to actually go out and do what the hell the guy told them to do

Gods know I see exceptions, but... s'just too much of a minority. On my best days, I still kinda' hold out hope someone'll figure out the magic phrase that'd invert that situation.

... flying... flying dream...? I think... I think I just had one. Well, mostly flying. Context was video game and free form flight was one of the capabilities, so it was part flight part not. But still! First flying dream that I can remember! I've had similar movement systems before (swimming/underwater, "jump good"/long glide ones), but I think that was the first legit flight-for-main-critter-including dream I've had.

That was kinda' fun. Definitely a WTF, though. I was mostly expecting to never have one of those at this point, but I guess the subconscious finally found a way to excuse it. Go-go dream-MMO!

Sudden resolve to use the word for both meanings, get!

Double-bonus points for usage where either fit without changing the overall intent of the sentence.

... actually, I think I'll just keep using it as I have been and let confusion pile where it will. This is the better plan.

We need more words like that, really. Would make things more fun!

Either that or I have a compulsive tendency to memorize common time zones and habitually make WAGs when people make statements related to time!

I give it 25/75 odds. I'd say I'd ask for takers, but I am a honest person and would honestly rig that bet, so the more moral action would be not to accept any bets. This time.

I'm not really sure if it's a sad thing or not that there exists fanfiction lengthier than Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

I mean... at least one of them is pretty darn decent, and a couple others fairly solid, of the ones I've tried to read. Go go mighty unpublishables... I guess.

... though, thinking on it, Romance of the Three Kingdoms basically is fanfiction. Just really old fanfiction. It's something! _{And with those words, Frumple makes an eternal enemy of Chinese literary historians the world over.}
