I think they're both enjoyable to be around.
Hilaene's a good bit more intense, but to
resort to namecalling is a bit silly when
talking about a game.

> -You're not this uberbloodthirsty psychowench that seems to be in it for joy of the powers.

That doesn't make sense. If she was in it
for the powers, she'd be pking and such when
she's around, instead of trying to deal with
interviews and trying to rank up. Again, the
namecalling proves your childishness.

> -You fit nicely into the whole "family oriented" sylvan theme of yore whereas she is a direct product of Sebeok's "Sylvan is a guerilla warfare tactical unit" paranoid Vietnam flashback delusions.

*chuckle* I got a good laugh out of this.
What do you base this opinion of Sylvan
ideology on?

> -You have this nice aura of friendly treehugginess that used to make Sylvan a unique cabal, whereas Hilaene is a product of the...well you get the point.

No, I'm afraid I don't get the point.

> Pikel:

> -The name is ripped from a children's book.

Can't say I'm familiar with this, but others
have mentioned it, so it's surely correct.
There are far more obvious and ridiculous
names which have been acceptable, from far
more famous books. Gareth, anyone?

> -The name lends itself nicely to "pickel" goofs.

Yes, yes it does. *chuckle*

> -The whole "dwarf that can't talk right" thing is grossly cliched and makes me wretch(it's right up there with the battlerager with a family killed by mages).

Most "dwarfs that can't talk right" are
actually "dwarfs from Ireland". I spend a
great deal of time with Pikel, we're on at
the same times, generally, and I think his
talking is great, he's consistent, original,
and really fucking funny sometimes. I laugh
out loud irl at some of the stuff he says
and does.

Yes.. yes, it was.
Feel free to comment on any of this, or even
on me.. There's just not enough on the forum
to read to get me through a workday.
