"Poe-et" for my original name, and "Object of every persons desire" for the current one. Edit: The new current one (the old one being Jimmy Dean) is "Muss-o-leen-ie". I think.

I pronounce Alo's name "a-LORRA-el". It's kinda wierd and puts a feminine twist on it but I've never spelt his name wrong since. Spelling is the most important after all.

Like the Spanish word for Sea "Mar" (pronounced like the 'Mar' in 'Martian') with the name Lenny next to it. No, it is not Marlene or Marleeny. About the rest: Alorael, Dikiyoba, Andraste, etc. I pronounce them the Spanish way. I've been doing it my whole life, and it's kind of hard to stop being used to it. On a completely unrelated note, Alec wanted me to let you all know that he will not be coming back after his banned is lifted. And I guess since we are talking about people leaving I'll take the time to announce my goodbye. Which should be noted has nothing to do with Alec leaving, I mean he is Alec. (Meaning he'll probably be back in two months under a different account :P ). Anyways, I haven't posted much in the past couple of weeks, and prior to that I only posted for the spam fest so I guess I've been gone without really saying goodbye. There is a chance that I might be back when GF4 comes for windows, and you can all IM me whenever you see me around. Bye!

I "left" during the elections last year and it was completely ridiculous because for the week I managed to keep off my main account, I used a second one to post about once a day. That's "absent". :P Edit: This is gettign annoying. Yesterdy I kept confusing Nikki for MagmaDragoon; today I keep confusing Thuryl for Tyran. Might be the cafeine and sleep drepivtaion.

There was also Thralni (whom I believe was going by the moniker MC Mini Thralni at the time) who also announced he was leaving at one point. He never did, though. -------------------- I tried to think of something witty to put here. Needless to say, I failed. Posts: 2686 | Registered: Friday, September 8 2006 07:00 |

It's been a while, but I think Thralni said something along the lines that he would stop visiting General on a regular basis. He still appears once in a while (he posted a picture not that long ago), and he's in the Blades related forums infrequently. Not gone forever, just... semi-retired. -------------------- All residents will now be collected on Thursday. - Ontario waste-systems company notice Posts: 1509 | Registered: Tuesday, January 10 2006 08:00 |

The main reason I remember it was because someone made a very TM-like remark (a particularly nasty one, too), and everyone was complaining about Thralni being over-dramatic about something. -------------------- I tried to think of something witty to put here.

I have a habit of over emphasising each letter, even when they're supposed to be silent. Probably a Biology Reflex. BTW: I'm leaving too . . . mmmm ice-cream, good thing the fridge is close.
