Because it was old news before you even got here. Exile Nephilim have been around since 1994, and the Bible has been around longer. You'd be optimistic to think that you were the first to notice this after 12 years. -------------------- SupaNik: Aran, you're not big enough to threaten Ash. Dammit, even JV had to think twice.

Is Toledo really holy? I've read the Bible front to back and never noticed mention of it, perhaps it is in the lost gospels? -------------------- "Dikiyoba ... is demon ... drives people mad and ... do all sorts of strange things."

Nephilims isn't a word. Nephil is singular, nephilim has the plural ending in Hebrew, and nephilim is pluralized in Hebrew and English. Nephils makes sense, though. —Alorael, who wonders if the results of nephils vs. sliths would be different from the results of nephilim vs. slithzerikai.

Originally by Little Billy Sue: quote:Apparently not. Dikiyoba came up with two startling conclusions today. First, Geneforge is actually the combination of the words "gene" and "forge." Second, nephils vs. sliths and nephilim vs. slithzerikai would give the same results, but nephils vs. slithzerikai is a whole new battlefield.

hmm, it seems that in my brief lapse from this site it'e become far more... harsh. So I must ask why... why Banjo, must we hurt the ones we love? and btw, nephilims vs. slitherzakis was an RP while I was last on here... I think we've already spelled out the outcome or am I wrong? -------------------- ...well I thought it was funney...? didn't you? Posts: 296 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

Please, no more Nephil vs. Slith. Once was more than enough. [ Friday, June 09, 2006 16:20: Message edited by: Andraste ] -------------------- You acquire an item: Radio Free Foil Posts: 1169 | Registered: Monday, September 23 2002 07:00 |

It wasn't an RP, it was an argument. A lot of argument. And it was inconclusive. —Alorael, who supports the Slithzerikai Liberation Front and the Nephilim First Party. War is peace. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

Why does Nephils vs Sliths get all the nostalgia and loathing? What about Giants vs Trogs? Dikiyoba has failed to add anything new to this discussion. Oh well. Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |

The Giant vs. Trog debate gets less loathing because it is shorter and more pertinent. After all, the Giants and Trogs were trying to wipe each other out. The correct answer of course is neither, since they were both erased from existence by my little band of adventurers in E3. -------------------- "As our circle of knowledge expands, so does the circumference of darkness surrounding it." --Albert Einstein -------------------- Posts: 536 | Registered: Sunday, September 7 2003 07:00 |

*unfolds a petition* On behalf of the Nephilim and Slithzerikai, that is to say, every single Nephil and every single Slithzerikai who signed this complaint, I would like it noted that this and no other spelling is correct (although Slith is sometimes used in colloquial language). Also, Nephilim win.
