Why such hostility? You guys snapped my streak and your the one who's angry at us? I have no hard feelings to the TBH.

Why do you expect Ransium to have good grammar? It's not like he's an editor or.... Oh, wait. :?

Amusing to you. To many of us, this entire line of petty discussion in a thread that is usually light-hearted, friendly, and casual is annoying, not amusing.

If we could not make Neutral Ground as toxic as the rest of Gameplay, that would be great.

Everyone should be required to have 2 pints of Sam Adams before coming on to NG, that should solve the problem.

Technical is relatively lax on gravedigging compared to most parts of the forum, but that's still been dead quite a while. Maybe make a new thread along similar lines?

Please, rather than bump that old topic, make a new topic. If you can link to the old topic in the first post, that'd be nice too.

Are there any NS families existing in 2017?

I don't hear about Anumias or Starks anymore

I dropped the name Stark; my family is named Skollvaldr now. I think Tim is still using Stark.

There are still plenty of other families as well. I don't think they're as prominent as they once were though, which is to say they're around, but they don't really matter much except as a social connection between members of the families. So that's probably why you don't hear much about them.

Also, Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow American gameplayers!

I think the Montresors and Rahls are still about. And there's still one McCloud.

I was actually Whitehall for a while, which not many people know! Nowadays I just have my personality cult. It's like a family except more honest.
