Unless you belong to the Order of the Wall.

How does one author go from overtly, almost philosophically, verbose and thoughtful in examination of spirituality and existence, and in the next book set in the same world, just have vividly over detailed carnage and dirty scenes? @_@

Dill pickles or sweet pickles?

I've heard it said best by Spoony: Lawful Good does not mean Lawful Stupid or Lawful ***hole.

Agree or disagree?

Maybe the former is when they're trying to be enlightened, and the latter is the point where they're inviting you to come to their magical realm...

(That link is safe for work, but still be careful with it.)

Dill pickles or sweet pickles?

Neither... I'm a garlic pickle fan, myself.

I've heard it said best by Spoony: Lawful Good does not mean Lawful Stupid or Lawful ***hole.

Of course. It has always irritated me the way people completely miss the point of Paladins, like they're blinded by their own ethics or over the top with it to a comical extreme. I far prefer the seething cauldron of righteous fury, tempered by wisdom aspect.

"There is none of that, "Oh well if you're truly sorry, there's nothing I can do." horse****. No, he coup de graces your *** because he's a ******* paladin. His job is killing evil. You know what his job doesn't entail? Being a sympathetic ear for every whiny NE or CN or LE douchebag who's only being evil because the world is unfair to him or every punk that lets his own dislikes or laziness overcome his own personality. You know what unfair is? Being able to know what kind of person everyone is before you even talk to them. Smelling evil so potent on a ************ that you want to sink your fingers in his chest and pull that tar out until the screaming stops. Having the psychotic urge to murder people that you've never even met, for the sole reason that your God decided that you ought to be his right hand without your choice in the matter, that's unfair.

But unlike Evil McBlacknails over there, that Paladin puts on his helmet, sharpens his sword, and then continues walking through crowds of people day by day, resisting the urge. Seeing evidence of injustice so black it makes him sick. Seeing murderers and rapists walk the street, watching good men hang as evil ones pull the lever. Saving his righteous violence for when the situation exactly, specifically, precisely calls for it. Surgically removing that which is most evil. Because he's a Paladin. And if he gave in to the urge, what would he be? Who will right the true wrongs if not he? It's not about not falling as a Paladin. It's about falling so ******* hard you crash through the planet and stand up on the other side.'

White holes?

[ArcticFox]

If they exist, they mostly spew out remote controls and extra socks.

[Chozon1]

That was information I feel sure I didn't need to know. -_- Or at least, that I didn't want to know. Gross.

I'm more inclined to say he was aiming for a Christian "Game of Thrones". By all accounts, he was successful. But I was grossed and weirded out. XD

You never appreciate sight until it get's boogered up?

[ArcticFox]

I'd say that's true of any good thing, wouldn't you?

[Chozon1]

Unless your hobby is nose picking, sure.

Finding out you've washed enough clothes in one load?

[Deepfreeze32]

Between you and Spoony, I've really wanted to play a Paladin. The problem is convincing a DM that I'm not the Lawful-Stupid type. Most DM's I've played with are convinced that Lawful Good = the goody-twoshoes type. I'd like to challenge that assertion, but not at the expense of frustrating the DM or being forced to play by an ignorant DM's rules.

Which is worse? A Programming Language that refuses to help you (through syntax or whatnot such as vanilla C with no imports/includes or an esoteric Programming Language), or a Programming Language that is useless (Such as PHP or another language who only serves as the butt end of jokes)?

Magical.

The latter. Even if a language is poorly documented at least it's still possible to work with. A useless language is exactly that... useless.

Most likely.

Hammer or battle-axe?

[ArcticFox]

Hammer, plz.
