In hindsight... I might be the only one who finds that funny...

I found it amusing, and I have my own entry for the name: My Brother's Place

"Where are you going at this hour?"

"My Brother's Place."

"Oh, OK. Tell him I said hi."

"Yes, dear...."

Padrone, of Magistry, of Talonguard. Just got here, trying to check in at least a few times a week to keep abreast of any changes. EE/2nd month, and looking forward to logistics, supply and diplomacy.

"You've got to eat, get armor/weapons and repair your stuff, right?"
- (Me in a number of other MMO's)

"Amateurs talk about tactics, but professionals study logistics."*
- Gen. Robert H. Barrow, USMC (Commandant of the Marine Corps)

"There is nothing more common than to find considerations of supply affecting the strategic lines of a campaign and a war."
- Carl von Clausevitz

"The line between disorder and order lies in logistics…"
- Sun Tzu

So, great military minds have known this for a while. 'Nuff said.

* Yeah, I know, some folks attribute this to Omar Bradley, but I know Barrow said this, and being a member of Uncle Sam's Misguided Children, I'll attribute it as I see it.

Hmm, did I check in here yet? Talonguard will be my home. Crafter/gatherer/diplomat... errr, along those lines. Let's see what the alpha streamers show us! :)
