Wasn't it the other way around?

You took the words right out of my mouth.

Ah, who knows what goes behind closed doors, or shall we say, monitors. Jealous, Maedchen?

Go ahead. I have two blades, one a double guttered Kinjal; and the other a rather nasty short sword from Bulgaria. I might remind you that you will be duelling with a fencer who's done foil and sabre. Sabre is especially vicious.

Besides, I thought it was old Phleggie himself who did the Blitzkriegs around here. Of course I'm sure he meant something else.

I'm not afraid of swords, just of wooden stakes

I thought you didn't know much about our good old vampyres. Make up your mind girl!

Suuuure. Then let me get my plane out too, since it looks like we're all Tschermans out here.

In any case, beware the "Beautiful Savage" Circassian -in Lermontov's own words. We're known for our raids and all. We practically invented the raids, babe; your Blitzkrieg is a joke compared to the warriors of the Caucasus, our beloved Oshamafe.

Just read Tolstoy's Khadji Murad, and get an idea.

I don't think awards should be installed because they would in fact make this a popularity contest and would just be a really tacky thing to be displayed. I think we should maintain a more mature atmosphere and environment here.

I agree.

[Awar]

I think we should only make awards which aren't
very serious. More of a series of in-jokes for senior members etc.

Not having a social bone in my body, being popular is not important to me. Reputation points are awards enough. Are they not?

I agree to both valon and bocian. Besides, awards have the problem of making a forum look less open and like too exclusive a bunch of well-known friends, therefore less appealing to newcomers.

Also, onanism works best individually, while as a regular group therapy it can turn out frustrating in the long run.

Suprise! For once, I agree with Graeme
