I watched a segment on the news concerning the fact the surgeon general stated that Santa Claus should lose the belly as it sets a poor example for children. The news segment later added that Santa used to smoke a pipe. -------------------- "There's a hole in the bucket, dear Excalibur, dear Excalibur..."

I've inquired of various subjects earlier this year, but this time around I actually plan to create a scenario. I hope it will be included in the scenario contest, but procrastination might get the better of me. The majority of members here prefer not to be spoon fed. However, many individuals often rely on help, and I've conjured a new idea about answering questions. The concept is that a character ability activates a tome or orb that summons a help menu. Stuff done flags will decide what the player may need aid with and a list of questions are viewed. Upon selecting one, a walk through will appear concerning that obstacle. My question is: What is your opinion concerning this? -------------------- "There's a hole in the bucket, dear Excalibur, dear Excalibur..." Posts: 1384 | Registered: Tuesday, February 6 2007 08:00 |

Chapter 2 >1 Intrusive shafts of the sun's essence penetrated Ivanhoe's quarters. It's fervor provoked the unveiling of his eyes, an event soon proceeded by his awakening. However, the luminous benefactor of all Earth failed to activate his rational processes. Accompanied by the sun's rays were the townsfolk pilfering the silence. The frequent bustling prodded Ivanhoe from his bed. Following long, sheepish moments, Ivanhoe left his bed chamber. His ordeals the preceding day still ingrained burdensome stress on his mind. Tomorrow he would depart, but today he would fabricate his plans. >>2 A dozen individuals sat in their positions about an oaken table. Above them granite arches witnessed the illuminated scene. Aside from the windows, nothing but apocrypha lay about the room. Ivanhoe rose from his position. He stood stout, yet authoritative as he spoke, "As you are aware, I must embark on a journey to fulfill the quest that troubles me. Ahead of me are enemies and despair, exuberance and hope. However, refuse to depart without the accompaniment of fellow kind. Not only shall these two individuals be brazen and bold, they must also be fresh from their mother's womb." The often tranquil conference room evolved into a slew of rapid murmurs. Eventually Cletus, the head farmer spoke above the discord, "Our thoughts vary greatly, but Ivanhoe has always demonstrated sound judgment as a leader. If he wishes two children to accompany him, than I say so be it." Caledfwlch interjected, "Ivan, what troubles you to the verge of bringing children along? Has that fetid zombie capture the better of you?" The congregation snickered covertly. Their merriness ended as Ivanhoe spoke, "I assure you that my reasons for this controversy are just. Our community possess but one individual skilled in melee and I feel that our defenses would benefit from a few more. In such a manner, these trained children can instruct more men in turn." Ivanhoe left his seat and strode towards the exit. As the sun gazing through the window lost grasp of him Ivanhoe interjected the scene, "Celdfwlch shall administer mayoral duties during my absence."

Yes, but does the testimony of several witnesses overrule that or are such conditions entirely void of recognition? I'm sure oral contracts count as something in some situations. My father summoned the police once because his cousin failed to submit to an oral contract. His cousin admitted he had made an oral contract, but he thought it was meaningless. The police ruled in favor of my father. I'd ask my father about this, but he's working at the moment. -------------------- A Bile Crux Posts: 1384 | Registered: Tuesday, February 6 2007 08:00 |

Chapter 1 -1 Ivanhoe gazed into the horizon atop the ramparts of his city. He pondered upon the state of the outside world, but his conclusion concerning one aspect remained prominent in his mind. In the realms beyond lay a sea of perpetual conflict, extending its grasp among every individual of every race. Ivanhoe wielded the smirk of a wizened man. Even in his secluded community stood the threat of quarrel and disdain. His heart bore the naive belief of doubting conflict's ability to penetrate his domicile... "Sir, sir!" a grief-stricken child ejaculated, "my brother has not returned from his excursion!" Ivanhoe leaped in fright. Rarely did anyone interrupt the adventures of his mind, but the cries of a child pierced his soul. He diverted his attention to the child, whose face was stained with the erosion of numerous tears. "Child, what is the matter?" The child's tear ducts erupted into massive spurts of liquid, "My...my brother, he entered the infernal maze and has yet to return. Sir...please forgive me." "What!?" Ivanhoe refrained from turning waspish, "Tell Caledfwlch I sent for him." The child left immediately and with great haste. --2 Ivanhoe's right-hand man appeared in his peripheral vision. He approached with an expression of exhaustion and anxiety. "Caledfwlch, we have little time to waste." "Yes Ivan, I am aware of the fact." "Shall I fetch the boy with my own being, or should a search party be organized?" Caledfwlch strained his mind to provide an answer, "No, it would be best if you sought after the boy alone. The rest of our flock lack military training." "Agreed. I shall don my armor and when doing so I hereby instruct you to spread word among the villagers that I will be absent." Ivanhoe quickly traversed the stone hallways to the entrance of his armory. He thrust his hand inside his tunic and uncovered a dull, rusty key. The lock wrestled furiously with Ivanhoe's attempts to penetrate it, a battle which the latter won. Dim light revealed the outline of several articles of fine craftsmanship. Ivanhoe reached for light blue iridescent chain mail, otherwise known as mithril. Next he donned the armor, proceeded with greaves, helmet, and gauntlets. Sufficiently outfitted and armed with the Excalibur, Ivanhoe locked the heavy wooden door, prepared to rescue one of his flock. The nondescript barriers of stone serving the purpose of walls passed Ivanhoe's vision rapidly. He was sprinting now, something soon ascertained by unarmed watchmen operating the gate. They saluted and held no protest to Ivanhoe's passing. ---3 After a mere fifteen minutes Ivanhoe's steed, Rocinante, had conveyed him the distance from Bustoke to the Infernal Maze. Dark malevolent cliff sides that bore ominous rock formations towered above Ivanhoe. Decaying oragnic matter, bones, and various other detritus were scattered among the narrow passages between the cliffs. However, despite of it's appearance, Ivanhoe had no choice but to enter. Ivan warily dismounted his steed and approached. An apprehensive chill rattled Ivanhoe's spine. Taunting wind whispered echoes of demonic shrills, resonating the foreboding thoughts in Ivanhoe's mind. He struggled to resist cowardice as the supernatural, oppressive air burdened every stride. Ivanhoe challenged his deductive reasoning with every branching passage. Eventually he stumbled by a small opening devoid of natural light. Several beings shambled in its limits, accompanied by voluminous moans. After several eternal moments of listening, Ivanhoe concluded that the creature beyond were undead. Ivanhoe braced himself as the adrenaline permeating his blood overcame the weighty air. He launched himself into the opening, wielding the Excalibur in the same instance. The slow-reaction time of the creatures allowed Ivanhoe to gain an offensive stance. The three undead shambled towards him in the unnatural light. A creature fell as the Excalibur broke the juncture between torso and appendage. Another rasped as its head detached from it's foul conjoint. The round feature of the cavern reverberated the sounds of melee. Ivanhoe slashed ferociously at the remaining creature, soon rewarded by its final death. Ivanhoe exhaled noisily as he surveyed the cavern. In the corner lay the figure of prepubescent child strapped to various implements of torture. Before he could maneuver any further, a foul beast tackled him from behind. Its grasp ingrained acidic wrath into his nape and drained the essence of his being. Ivan lurched with exemplary desperation and freed himself from its grasp. He lunged at the stoic figure, that being the last accomplishment before consciousness left him. ----4 Excruciating pangs throbbed his neck as Ivanhoe arose from his slumber. He muttered a prayer as intoxicating aspects of his ordeal assaulted his mentality. The frequent throbs in his neck ceased, allowing him to ration thought to the child at his side. Instinct commanded his actions. The oppressive straps fell to his side and the conceited shackles loosened with his fury. The child clung to life as Ivanhoe lifted him from the platform. Disgust and despair drove Ivanhoe against the dark atmosphere. The encumbrance of his burdens did little to weaken his fright as he hurtled out of the caverns and passage ways of the maze. -----5 Jereboam, the rescued child, slept under the compassionate eyes of his father. Ivanhoe stood with him, but his focus concentrated on a more important subject. The fact that Jereboam lived did not assuage his worry. The undead were a threat, and the only ones with sufficient knowledge of dispatching them were the Anama. -------------------- "There's a hole in the bucket, dear Excalibur, dear Excalibur..."

The concept that married couples receive benefits over singles is a bit unfair. Oral contracts do not require licenses and neither does marriage. Had marriage licenses never been implemented, than political battles over homosexuality should not be a problem. Society should be the only factor making any arbitrations over such matters. quote::o OK, sorry about that. Apparently some historians suspect such groups as the Amazon warriors to be examples of this. That isn't a fact though, but a hypothesis. -------------------- A Bile Crux Posts: 1384 | Registered: Tuesday, February 6 2007 08:00 |

By Salmon quote:Much of the discussion occurring is hypothetical. In fact, most of the theoretical situations in this thread are created by the opposing side. By Tyranicus quote:The Roman Catholic church was the government once. As with most governments, they extended their jurisdiction beyond what is acceptable. Isaac and Rebekka were married in a tent, and in other words, marriage is merely an oral contract. By Dikiyoba quote:A predominately homosexual society? What kind of hogwash is that? A predominately homosexual society does not exist because... Drumroll... It takes a heterosexual relationship to produce a human being. In your situation all the homosexuals would die out, leaving the straight people behind. As if forcing the heterosexuals to reproduce to the point of exhaustion would be an option. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< > I pulled my father's law dictionary off the shelf. It's definition of marriage repeatedly uses the phrases "man and woman", and "male and female." By Thuryl quote:From reading certain excerpts from particular passages of writing, rivalry often occurs among the multiple spouses of the same sex. -------------------- Someone mentioned that polygamy was banned to drive the Mormons out. Because polygamy is banned or at least frowned upon in much of the world, I doubt that is the case. -------------------- A Bile Crux Posts: 1384 | Registered: Tuesday, February 6 2007 08:00 |
