  1. That Surtr is so small, though. He needs to be biiiiiig.
  2. Dat Surtr though. The BF and I will probably be seeing Black Panther tomorrow night. Not like there's anything else to watch.
  3. "Kills your enemies and your allies- sounds about right for that frosty bitch." - Rebec
  4. Figures Fake Kyne would grant you a worthless ability and Yffre ponies up.
  5. The Kyne's Peace shout works in a similar way. Maybe Rebec should learn that one next. Or does the Bosmer ability let them command animals to fight for them?
  6. They showed a guy wearing a jacket and it looked like it said CA ADA. Go back and find the picture of the guy knocking back beers at 9am.
  7. Did you correct my spelling in your quote? Grammar Nazi I left the N out on purpose because of an earlier post. The big leader on banning video games and guns both is a Democrat, Dianne Feinstein. She's one of those decrepit old bags that just won't die (or retire).
  8. Good luck and safe travels. Apparently, the USA women's hockey team beat CA ADA for the gold. Heh, I didn't even know there was a women's hockey team.
  9. I saw it. It was very basic and didn't explain a lot, but was somewhat entertaining, particularly the buddy cop dynamic between Will Smith and his orc partner.
  10. She got the word from Baldur and followed the same process you saw before. Do I really have to spell it out? This is ridiculous.
  11. She did. My point is she probably has more qualification than Rebec.
  12. You can also assume something that's easily assumed.
  13. She's a mage. They just don't call it that. And she's as close as they have to an elite. So if you don't have any problem with Rebec, don't see a difference. Anyway I'm done discussing it. It's not relevant to anything. I don't have any plans for Arle in the war. The post was about characterization for Rebec.
  14. I'm not going to give the minute play by play so you're going to have to live with it. Isn't the rp long enough? I mean, did we get a detailed post about every spell every character learned or they can't use it in the rp?
  15. I meant Colin. He cast as a child before any training.
  16. She didn't just start that one. If you go by obscure lore, it never totally died out. Read the notes from the Lusty Argonian Society on TIL. The Nords voluntarily stopped using it. I'm not going to debate every nitpick on the thu'um, just as I didn't want to debate every spell of the magic users. How long does it take to learn a basic spell? In the novels, a guy casts automatically based on adrenaline, with no formal training.
  17. Yes it was messy, we did fight a brutal civil war only a generation or two later. But I think it produced a good thing in the federal system, and it's only since WWI and the unconstitutional sedition acts that people feel more beholden to a central government than to their state. Now the pendulum has swung way too far in the direction of a federal government running everything. IMO we should barely know the name of the President and care very little what Washington does. Everything other than basic infrastructure and defense is better run out of state governments. I personally feel very little loyalty to our federal government. They're the hostile occupying power now, and an incredibly greedy one.
  18. I don't get being proud of the fact that you let a distant government occupy you and use your country as a base to (unsuccessfully) try to occupy a neighboring country, all to enrich their lords and provide revenue for even more invasions. Like, woohoo- you won- but you were still bent over. For all that, the Americans were just trying to assert their rights as British citizens, too, specifically the right to not to be taxed without representation in Parliament. They just didn't take no for an answer. I like this scene from John Adams which shows how we kept our affinity to the UK too, just demanded it as equals.
  19. 757 that stayed behind and got caught. Congratulations, the British Army won your big patriotic battle for you and you got a couple hundred years more exploitation.
  20. And yeah, I mentioned I had a dirty Tory traitorous bastard in my own family, who had to tuck his tail and flee to Canada after the Revolutionary War. His father however signed the original Articles of Confederation, so at least the whole family wasn't a Redcoat ass licker, just him.
  21. "In the battle and the following siege, French-speaking Canadians were active on both sides of the conflict. The American forces received supplies and logistical support from local residents, and the city's defenders included locally raised militia. When the Americans retreated, they were accompanied by a number of their supporters; those who remained behind were subjected to a variety of punishments after the British re-established control over the province." "Its goal, as stated in a proclamation by General Schuyler, was to 'drive away, if possible, the troops of Great Britain' that 'under the orders of a despotic ministry ... aim to subject their fellow-citizens and brethren to the yoke of a hard slavery.'"
  22. I had never heard of this battle, but according to the Wiki, there were Canadians on both sides of it. I imagine it was more about trying to take out the British support lines. The Brits were the aggressors in the war, after all. But, I think most Americans who joke about Canadians being pussies are talking about modern history. I have Quebecois ancestors myself.
