Nah...I gotta admit I allowed myself some artistic freedom on this one. His pronounciation of the word "Far" (dad in Danish) is letter perfect, however.

Lying.

It was still funny though. It would have been more believable if you didn't have such a difficult name.

Real munchkinism is knowing (without having to look it up I might add) that mithril shirts are actually +4.
+5 shirts are made of adamantite.


You know you spend too much time on Apolyton when you're thinking about Vels EU2 co-operative game more than your own game, even while playing your own game, and it causes you to do something stupid.
That's my excuse and I'm sticking with it ...

That's like people who watch to much sport on the tele. When a situation occurs in real life, they still find themselves waiting for the replay

It's almost a meta-"you know". Classic BC.

You know you spend too much time on Apolyton when you notice that almost every time a poster is proud of his original answer in this thread it is in fact a poor copy of my original wit from one of the previous threads.

Not sure if you are asking seriously or trying to bait someone. In either case I'll bite.

When the 2 sites that existed before Apolyton merged they had to come up with a cunning way to merge the names. One site was started by a certain Greek, and the other was called the Ultimate Civ site. Apolyton is Greek for Ultimate.
