I meant in this forum specifically, willpell. But thank you for the pointer. :D :lol:

I used to play 1st edition AD&D. Because I'm old like Thac0. :thaco:

THAC0, however, is second edition. First edition used tables.
There are worlds out there where the sky is burning...where the seas sleep and the rivers dream. People made of smoke, and cities made of song. Somewhere there's danger. Somewhere there's injustice.

Well, technically, the sword exists outside time. However, and this is shown in comic, it moves instantaneously from when MM drops the sword to when he picks it up again. Ergo, it moves through time and brings what's attached to it along with it.

And please... watch your tone. Nobody likes being talked down to.
If you want me to keep my cool, why the [generous omission] do you assume I wasn't talking about the Maze of Many? Wesley Snipes once said something about the people who think Kin is going to use the Jade Teapot soon, right before he killed a vampire.
The only one to pay attention to what happens in Goblins.

BuildsLegos,

Logic does dictate, at least on the forum, that if you are replying directly to the person above you (me), you don't use quotes. Which you didn't. Also, it appeared as if you were talking about my response to the poster above me.

It does not, however, change my end response to you. You have been asked nicely on a couple of occasions to mind how you "speak" to other forumites. Snark, sarcasm, and other forms of verbal barbs are fine in small doses, but I am asking you politely, for the last time, to knock it off or at least tone it down. Speaking to others like they are beneath you or less intelligent than you are is not appreciated. Your posts have been reported to us on a few occasions for exactly that. So, please, please, please tone it down.

[mod="Wolfie"]If you have a problem with my response, or would like to discuss this further, please PM me or SeeAMoose. A response is not required in this thread.[/mod]

Simon, I'm really interested to see what would happen if someone were to be holding onto the sword when MM lets go of it.

Really though, I'm wondering if they'll hang in mid-air and then fall like an old Wile E Coyote cartoon.

That does not sound like any Blade quote I remember.... :?
