Do you have to be a conservative gamer to use a dude in fullplate as your avatar?

You can tell Sarah Brightman 'cos she has more tattoos.


Was this an Opera House of Wax? This would explain both the Aubrey-Sarah connection and the appearance.

One of my friends met her. She's a creepy one.
Are you sure it wasn't Amy Winehouse? I get them confused.

Erm... The one that's staring off into the distance because she's a space cadet is Sarah Brightman. The one that's staring off into the distance because she's stoned out of her mind is Amy Winehouse.


Wow. Those are two gals I'd never confuse. Is Amy still a gal?

Well, Amy did a "Beat It" duet with Charlotte Church, so Sarah's gotta do "Up Where We Belong" with Cliff Richard.

I saw that clip and I have to say that I was quite impressed with Amy. It must take a lot of work to mummble so bad that Ozzy seems articulate by comparison.

You're not fooling anyone. I've seen pictures of Mick Jagger.

Well, I picked this avatar because it's the only one that has a two-bladed sword (the signature weapon of character this alias is based on). He doesn't wear heavy armor at all, so only the weapon is accurate....


...but this avatar actually looks more like him :)

And I'm mostly a moderate mindset. As to what the avvys say about me personally, I'm sure it's suitably weird.... :P


I would point out though that just maybe the reason those three, of which I am one, were so against the change and all have the full plate imagines could be explainable.

Without going into details the thread was about a change to who could wear heavy armor, and clearly someone who goes out of their way to pick an avatar in heavy armor to represent them might have a liking for heavy armor.

To be honest, they have different accents - if you derive a single accent from that, it will be most definately faux.

Actually, I didn't know what an American accent sounded like until Tracy Ullman did one on her show. It was funny as hell.

Is anybody actually British? Or is it all just one big conspiracy?

Robert IS my uncle.

While I often agree with Thurgon, I don't like being mistaken for him. I do resembl... resent being characterized as a conservative, tradition-minded Republican dinosaur just because of my armor.

Spoiler:
I'd rather be thought a conservative, tradition-minded Republican-type because of my views. I'm not too sure about the "Republican-type" bit lately, either. Those guys need to get their act together.

By the way: "Grognard" is a complement where I come from.


I hope my avatar correctly represents my accent. It's right in-between Carey Grant and James Mason. My voice is just a little lower in pitch.

Is hideously deformed the same as hideously malformed?

My thesaurus says they're synonyms, along with distorted, misshapen, monstrous, shapeless, and Mick Jagger.

Or maybe because some of us are old school, very conservative, and more then a little vocal about changes we dislike. My first presidential election that I could vote in I did through absentee ballet while attending a religious college in western PA. For the record I voted for Bush, the father.

Good thing too. Because you'll probably find it in the SRD if you look, Paladins can only be run by Republicans because you Democrats aren't moral enough. We're still weighing the matter on Libertarians and Catholics. But all and all Calvinists are preferred in the role. :)

You should play 4e. There, paladins are allowed to have any political affiliation they want, even Pat Buchanan's party.

Well, to be fair, Sarah did lose her heart to a Starship Trooper, so it's only natural she signed up for the cadets....

And Andrew Lloyd-Webber does look like an alien.

I didn't mention which religious afflication the school had, but it just so happens to be Presbyterian. So Calvinist to be sure.

I thought that was only true if you played in Florida.

I personally just picked this avatar because I thought looked cool, not because I like heavy armor.

Unlike my avatar, I don't look like Lindsey Buckingham. With or without a goofy hat.


Silly question perhaps, but did anyone here ever played the online super heroes game, City of Heroes?

It's always a female avatar for me. I mean, I'm going to be seeing my own posts on a regular basis, might as well see a babe, right?

Besides, I still find it funny when someone assumes I'm female.

Otherwise, I always read the name, after seeing Hydro and Hugo in different threads it's kinda become mandatory.

Genderbending avatars always throw me off. I have no way of knowing the gender of a poster, so I tend to use the avatar as a clue.

What's odd is that even after I've been informed that someone with a female avatar is male, or vice versa, I will continue to use the wrong pronouns.

Have a good day, ma'am.

I find it safest to assume all persons online are male, unless proven otherwise.

Does that mean that you like heavy armor but didn't pick your avatar because of it, or that you don't like heavy armor?

There is some wisdom to that.

It's reached the point where I don't even look at screen names. If it's a guy with a helmet, I automatically expect to read a pro-oldschool/anti-radical-changes point of view.
