You say that now, but you haven't been faced with the Sudden Death Round, aka the Giant Golden Text Block of Doom, yet!

That is true.

[Areks]

Yeah, the Sudden Death Round has made many a recruit crack and cry. Hope you ate your wheaties.

[Bringslite]

Hehe. I will be honest, creative, and complete. That will, hopefully, carry me through.

That's all I ask for, my friend ;)

[Bringslite]

What is all this talk of Sudden Death Rounds anyway? We are going to scare people away! It is nothing like that. *bead of sweat runs down forehead*

I hope that my toughest questions are at least in the middle or towards the end of the two weeks. Builds suspense better. :)

Actually, my questions gave me some insight into my character.

Now, to find out if Pax actually wants a character who squeaks when faced with danger, seeks compromise, hates ultimatums and is relentlessly cheerful!

They must do as they promoted him to ambassador, and its not a squeak its an ultrasonic distress beacon

I suppose that depends if dice are involved. If they're doing things in a 1st edition D&D style, then the questions would be assigned a number of points, which you could earn or lose based on your answers. Then of course a d20 roll is made; if you roll under the amount of your accumulated points you're in, but if you roll over it, you're dumped into the zombie pit.

Part One of my diabolical plan has succeeded. Now to cry hooray, and let loose the kitties of joy!

... Wait. That doesn't sound quite right...

[Bluddwolf]

Congrats to Dieanira and to Pax.

Congrats Deianira!

I apologize for not dropping in on your recruitment thread, but I've been out with a bad case of the "Tornado that beat up Oklahoma."

Man, the PFO boards have been slow. Still, there's lots of chatter about what makes meaningful PVP and such that seem worth reading. It's a lot of absorb, but the overall message I'm seeing is this: Pax Gaming aren't the only ones trying to make sure they start with a strong horse in the race.

The first 6 months of PFO will be interesting indeed. Now I just need EE to start! As a numbers guy, I can only handle so much theorycraft.

No worries! I had more than enough interrogators, and I'm glad you survived the tornado. Besides, we have plenty of time before EE for questions.

Love your avatar, by the way.

[Thunderfrog]

Hrm.

Does anyone not a part of Pax come in here much?

And thanks! I like frogs. I always have.

[Ulfgang Fourfingers]

We do but only gather notes so we know who to send those baked products too :)

We just like to talk. Here, the Pax forums, Teamspeak, whatever.

And your avatar reminds me of one of Mom's favorite 1960s songs, by Peter Paul and Mary: I'm in Love with a Big Blue Frog.. (It was the sixties. Things were weird then.). If you like frogs, you should go look that up.

[Thunderfrog]

I'm sort've a musical time capsule. If it wasn't played during my highschool years, I don't listen to it for the most part. (So anything between 98-02?)

I do like a few rare exceptions. For some reason Eleanor Rigby has found it's way into a few places. I'll check it out, because of the subject matter =)

I would certainly move up a number of those songs, but it's a pretty solid 100 list. You actually reminded me of about 12 or so that I need to still find online somewhere! I was really surprised to see DJ Alligator in there. I thought it was only special to my Dance Dance Revolution addled teenage days! Just throw in a glowy floorpad and I might be lost to the internet for weeks.

Specifically..

Bon Jovi - It's My Life, would be in the top 30. (It's one of my two go to songs for Karaoke. "Purple People Eater" being the other ^_^)

Outkast - Miss Jackson, would be off the list.

[Areks]

Yeah definitely missing most underground southern Rap. No Nas- Hate Me Now, no Jay Z feat. UGK - Big Pimpin, no Three Six Mafia - Sippin on Syrup, no Big Moe - Maan!!, no DJ Screw - June 27th, no Luniz - I got 5 on it....

Very incomplete list. Shame.

No... no G6. Silly pop songs.

[Thunderfrog]

Party Up by DMX is also absent, and would probably replace Drops of Jupiter had I written this list.

Also, NOT a fan of the Destinys Child on this list.

It has been a while since I have agreed with someone so strongly.

Sometimes songs don't have to have some deep dark meaning. Sometimes songs are just silly fun :P

[Areks]

Bah!!!

On a better note... WELCOME TITAN!!!

Huzzah!!

Let's have another round of Warstein ale for our newest member, Keovar!!

They lucked out; they got a free pass with a certain High Thane's Bday ;)

Don't worry, D, we'll put them to work...

Strange, but I can't decide if it is good or bad to have The Eye of The Krow focused upon you....
