Ouch... :P

It's hard to say what I most enjoy playing... Flight of the Bumblebee is certainly my favorite mallet piece, and you can't get better than drumset improv... I guess the third movement of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata is my favorite piece to play, or would be, rather, if I could play it well enough to do so in public. Least favorite... any modern classical, really, especially if it's atonal. Piano arrangements of orchestral pieces never go over well, either.

Seems like the more interesting members slip in without making an entrance (i.e. a hello topic) anyway. Let's hope it's too late to affect that.

Very true, Synergy. I think the baby in the smelly stable appeals more to the part of man that is scared of the unknown; it is more accessable, especially for children, and, I suppose, more believable. Christ for the masses, which is what he was meant for in the first place. While I agree that the focus is misplaced, there's not much that can be done about it at this point, and really, I wouldn't want to do anything to detract from a holiday so thoroughly steeped in the idea of peace on earth and goodwill toward men. Enough of that is being done already.

EDIT: stable.

Like Garrison, I don't see how you can just dismiss Christmas as "fake". I mean, the family unity, the feasts, the tree... regardless of why they're there, they are certainly not illusions, and for those with the will and ability to enjoy the holiday, it is very real. Santa is fake, but children receiving gifts is not, and when you come right down to it, what's the difference? Jesus may not have been born on December 25th (I've heard late Spring, too, Infernal, from equally irreverent sources), but so what? Now is as good a time to celebrate his birth, for those of us who do, as any other. And regardless of the origins of Christmas, it's what we get out of it that matters. If it's not about sitting around worshipping the tree and worrying about Odin's wrath, how can anyone call it a pagan holiday?

In conclusion, Merry Christmas to all those who celebrate it, Happy Chanukah to those who celebrate that (Nico, same here minus the father), and happy whatever else to whoever else. Does anyone here celebrate Kwanzaa?

Avernum. I love the idea of huge, inhabitable, subterranian cave systems, and there'd always be the surface when I got bored. Sure, Geneforge may have slightly more interesting flora and fauna, but Avernum does have its mages.

My second choice, of course, would be Lost Souls. I mean, come on. Who doesn't love utter desolation broken only by leafless trees, flat wooden bridges, and the occasional deserted stone towers and roads?

Well, AIM friends, obviously. I'm pretty sure they told me you had invited them there once and they just decided to make it their own chat room. There were only two or three of them, and I'm pretty sure they said you'd brought them there, but maybe not.

Aran, I vaguely remember exploring this with you. Do you remember any of this?

I think it was called Room 3, and its golden days ended long ago. First it became uninhabited, then it was taken over by some of UA's friends, and now, to the best of my knowledge, it's dead.

Aran, I know the feeling. It's happened to me several times, and also with full-fledged songs. They never turn out as well when I try to piece together what I can remember, though.

Rosy's poem is surprisingly good, all things considered. Texas, you say? Weird...

I voted Rachmaninov, but after listening to Dvorak's 9th again, I'm not so sure... Tchaikovski's up there too. There's no reason to comment on the poll itself; that's already been taken care of.

God. I've never heard that and even that is too much.

I'm a big fan of traditional as well, but some modern musicians manage really good rock versions of the classics, and I can't get enough of those. Of course, most rock versions suck. It's a vicious cycle.

Treasure. The word struck a chord in her head and rang out above all else, tearing her thoughts from Orloki and Sequoia and hurling them back to the Grand Lord. Gold. She shivered. Why else would she be up here in the frigid, forsaken wilderness, hunting demons? To help rid the world of evil? Hardly. She was there to investigate the rumors of King Albert's treasure, not to save a bunch of dirt-eating villagers from an undead invasion. The Grand Lord tended toward single-mindedness in such matters. He didn't particularly care what else happened, but he intended to know whether the treasure existed or not, and if it did, he would to anything, anything at all, to obtain it. And now the elf claims to be seeking it for herself.

"Will you trust me?"

Not bloody likely.

"We'll see," she said, turning away. She took the lead and set a fast pace. There was no time to lose. Rather, there was plenty of time to lose, but as for the elf...

But what of Sequoia?

What of Sequoia? She glanced over her shoulder, saw him hurrying to catch up with her. The Grand Lord had no use for an altruistic tree worshipper. He was useful in combat, perhaps, but she was now sure that the treasure was real, and once she found it...

The Grand Lord. Hah. So peculiar. Her entire life revolved around the man; every muscle of her body moved in his service, every thought fell in his favor. And yet, until that fatal word had passed the elf's lips, she'd almost... almost forgotten him.

No, you fallen creature, I won't trust you. I can't ever trust you completely. The Grand Lord would forbid it. You've forced my hand; you must not know. The treasure will be ours, and once the demon in vanquished, I cannot let you live. But Sequoia...

Unseen by either companion, her hand drifted to her poison sash. Her fingers stroked the hard leather of the pouches, gracefully caressing her instruments of death, so carefully prepared and preserved for just such a situation.

Why does it matter?

Her hand froze on the flap of a pouch as the tought came to her. Why did it matter? Why did anything matter? It wasn't for her to know, or to care. Only the Grand Lord needed to understand such things. She only did as she was told, and thought in terms of how best to facilitate his will. She glanced at the druid once more.

His will? What about mine?

She thrust the thought from her mind immediately. It was high treason; it was the kind of thing she eradicated, not the kind of thing in which she participated. She had bound herself to the Grand Lord years ago, given up all thoughts of her own wants in order to better serve him. Why this sudden change of- no, this... inconsistency? Had the demon found a way into her own mind? No, impossible. She had trained for years in mental resistance. She'd have at least felt it. What, then, had changed?

She shut her eyes tightly and continued walking, carefully keeping her face invisible to her companions. If I - if we find the treasure... what then? If I claim it for my master, the elf must die. And even if - even... well, either way, it will not be hers. I will not allow it to fall into her possession. The greed of the Drow is formidable; if she's fixed on that treasure...

Lisha opened her eyes and tossed the hood back far enough to keep Melora in the corner of her vision. She'll be useful. She ducked to avoid a stalagmite and a knife hilt came into contact with a poison pouch. Pity.

Limiting free speech sounds horrible and un-American and all until you realize that completely free speech could mean no secrets whatsoever. As much as I support free speech, I think there will always be information that should not be revealed to the general public, especially in this age of the internet and potentially universal access to said information. This explains why at least one of the answers to the first question is "Agree".
