Larian Studios Forums General Chat What is the Story ?

"Nero, always a man desparate to be popular, therefore looked for scapegoats on whom the fire could be blamed. He found it in an obscure new religious sect, the Christians.
And so many Christians were arrested and thrown to the wild beasts in the circus, or they were crucified . Many of them were also burned to death at night, serving as 'lighting' in Nero's gardens, while Nero mingled among the watching crowds.
It is this brutal persecution which immortalized Nero as the first Antichrist in the eyes of the Christian church. (The second Antichrist being the reformist Luther by edict of the Catholic Church.)", a quote from my paper. its somewhat plagerized, i must say.

Not only the thing with the Christians (Trajan was much more tolerant to them), ut also personally he was just an idiot, mildly speaking. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />

he was a spoiled brat.

My 'Net alias? At some point, in some chat, about three-four years ago, some moron tried to engage me in a conversation. You know, the usual type. Went something like this:

Idiot boy: a/s/l?
Me: I would rather communicate with someone who doesn't talk in DumbSpeak, thank you.
Idiot boy: wat do u meen?
Me: I am sorry. Polysyllabic words are evidently beyond your comprehension.
Idiot boy: theres no need to be rude!!!!
Me: No, not rude. Just direct.
Idiot boy: u r very pretty
Me: And you can tell that... how?
Idiot boy: r u going out w/my bro?
Me: Excuse me? I don't think I even know who your brother is.
Idiot boy: o
Idiot boy: i thought u were some1 else
Me: *blocks the idiot*
Friend (who's read the chat log): Hee. You're such a cold b*tch. XD

I got the "winter" part from there. But "Winterdog" doesn't have the right ring; "Wintry female dog" seems such a mouthful. So I went for "fox." (Vixen is too... well, yikes.)

I like it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

r u going out with my sister!

*Goes and washes my mouth out for using "leet" speak*

Beyond my knowledge ... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

By the way, I noticed a change of language in German chats, too, for example I often see the ch substituted by x.

Ach so ! -> Axo !

The ch can be spoken in German in two ways : A) like in Change [-> Xange <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" /> ] , and B) like in Character.

so winterfox, do u know what is a/s/l? i'm still scratching my head.

so alrik & gridlock hate nero. i hope nero_jb is ok with it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

mandrake, she's not going out with your sister. i am. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

a/s/l is what someone asks you when they want to know your age/sex/location. for example, 23/male/st.louis. its pretty common in chatrooms such as AOL.

thanks for the info, gridlock. i guess my a/s/l is 28/yeah doing it/in bed. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

I don't have anything against nero_jb , because this one is an entirely different person than the "original" Nero. (At least I hope so <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> )

Apart from the fact that it's quite difficult nowadays to become an Emperor. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Sorry for the delay of my answer. I suppose you can find the records of sisters of mercy and DAD very easy in every record shop. Look at the Gothic section or alternative. If you dont find it please pm me. I will see what we can do. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

lol, its in any GOOD record shop...

For about a year ago my nick-name was: "Megapopox"
And all my friends told me that sound silly and stupid. So now i call me "Neo-Claw" (its not Neo from the Matrix) and sometimes I call myself "Silent-Bob" in games.
That was my story....

Yeah im not that crazy...i would be insulted but I cant be mad at you guys cuz I just got told off on my shadowbane guild forum to the point I might just quit the game...f**kers..

i wouldnt feel insulted at all. we werent directing any comments towards you. besides, i think its a great name. nero was very powerfull, and nobody dared cross him no matter what he did.

i am sorry that it happened to u, nero. anyway, i hope u know we're just joking here. dude, don't kill us like your earlier incarnation did in rome. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />

I have been known as Spick for as long as i can remember, it comes from the way i look for most of the year, Tanned with dark hair and a 'tash,which put together in English eyes made me look a bit Mexican,hence Spick, by the way it's not looked at as a racist thing at all in England,a lot of foreigners are known as ,say, Frogs if your from france, or Taffy if your from Wales and so on.
P.S. my 'tash is just stubble these days. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

And how the Greeks are called in there?

no no, no killling people on this forum...thats Kiya's job...though she is gone right now.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif" alt="" />

Yes for the moment Kiya is gone but she will be back soon.
And before her return, Barta is there to do the job.
