He's seen some s$%+. That and he's gotten past the whole cop thing since magnimar. Kick the crap out of them first, offer quarter when they can't cackle and rub their hands together and act all "can't catch me copper" later.
Recent events however has only amplified his hate of horses.

More Kickstarter Spam - but I mean... it's Elmore right?
No kung-fu... maybe Escrima instead :P Got to fit the Pinoy element in there somewhere.

Heh - easy. I'll just make the wayang language Thai :P
His name is way too short for Thai. I had several Thai friends in high school, as I recall their names were like tongue twisters, except the entire phrase was one word. They sounded cool, but were a mile long.

The name is Japanese and specifically Okinawan in origin. His profile was originally for a oriental paladin I had made up that was sporting a bunch of Okinawan martial arts weapons (like the tinbe-rochin, eku, sansetsukon)... but the PbP bit the bullet on page two.
And yes, Thai names can be fairly long and involved... but most Thais I know use a simple nickname anyway.

Hi everybody! Long time no see -- I'm still traveling the world being an irresponsible ex-student, but I've been frequenting these boards again as I couldn't tear myself away from the PF world for too long. Lots of new faces for me here and lots of progress in all the games, it seems. I just was glancing through what's been going on in the old campaigns, perusing for pleasure :)
Lately I've actually been picked up into a Carrion Crown game and I've started a slow-moving homebrew campaign of my own that matches my irregular posting abilities.
Anyway, I was reading through Heart of Light particularly and got a little nostalgic, thought I'd just swing through and say hello. Congratulations to Solaric for winning the tournament and getting the girl, and goodluck to Vicky manipulating those pesky politicians!

I started in Spain and walked the Camino de Santiago, and then went to Hungary for a few weeks to stay with friends I met on the pilgrimage. Then I went back to Spain for the Running of the Bulls (San Fermin 2012), to France for about 3 weeks (Paris, Rennes, and Brest), then to Amsterdam for a weekend and Berlin for about 2 weeks. I hitchhiked back to Paris from there and caught a flight to Ireland, where I stayed and worked on farms for 3 months, and now I'm back in Madrid and doing round 2 of Europe, going to visit all the friends I made the first time. Eventually my traveling buddy and I are hoping to get to Thailand, but who knows if we'll actually make it :)

Garabbott, that sounds like an awesome adventure! Years ago my brother and I hiked the Kerry Way in Ireland and my wife and I hiked much of the Dingle Way. Where did you work and travel in Ireland?
It was hilarious, I come home from school and DMHW tells me that he was in a harp competition - yeh, he is that good. He said that if he had entered the amateur competition he would have won easy, but instead he entered the professional competition and got second place which was 1 ticket to Ireland. The he bemoaned the fact that he had to buy a second ticket for his brother so that he would have someone to go with. Lol.

I went all around the island (except for going up north towards Belfast). A week in Dublin, then worked 3 weeks at a hostel/farm in a small town called Arva that's near Cavan. Then I went to Cork for a week, worked on a farm for almost 2 weeks in Fermoy but the lady turned out to be a little psychotic, then a week outside Dunmanway in West Cork, and then a month just outside of Bantry. The guy I'm traveling with used to live in Dingle, so we went out there to visit some of his old family -- incredibly beautiful peninsula -- and then we spent our last week or so in Galway. All in all, we saw a lot of rural Ireland, but got a good enough dose of the major cities too I'd say.

The moral of this story is one that every Australian Soldier (and no doubt any other country's too) knows all too well and the moral is:
"No good deed goes unpunished".DO the right thing = have to buy a plane ticket :P

This was true, but the part that was really funny was that I wore a pair of green nickers and long wool socks with a white shirt when I competed. I had written a piece of music called the Highland Way, but for the competition, I called it 'A Dance with a Leprechaun'. I can't believe I did that, but I did win the flight to Ireland for my harp playing.

Haha, pretty clever. Were you at all inspired by Irish trad music? Saw a bunch of it in pubs across the country, especially in Galway, but I never saw any harp performances -- I wasn't sure if that was a thing or not. Either way, the Irish do love their trad....

My mom is from Scotland and her grandparents are from Ireland so I have always had that in my blood. Even though you can find a harp on every coin over there, strangely enough I saw very few harps. I wish I had my own with me to pull out and play in the pubs. I've been to Ireland about three times now and Galway was the only place that I saw any traditional music. I much prefer Scotland. Perhaps that's because I'm a Scottish dancer and when I go to Scotland I get to visit lots of family, attend the Edinburgh International Harp Festival and dance with some of the local groups. For some reason I feel right at home with the Scots.
