Did germaine really make it through college? He seems like the sort that would run up a bunch of gambling debts or something then just run off. That was what happened to a lot of people at, say, Oxford during the middle ages.
You guys are intense!
:Gambling debts make the assumption that he'd lose. Germain seems like the kind of guy who'd kill at poker. -[[User:Slitherrr|Slitherrr]]
:: He did manage to lose by theft probably his single most important possession to someone he never even remotely trusted. He's probably a great bluffer, but who knows what his betting strategy is like? I think he overthinks things and is really too cautious and risk-averse to really make a killing. I just can't imagine him going through multiple years of structured education at a medieval-type university, especially as he seems to chafe under authority. -gm
:: Also - are you making our next game?
::: I'm kind of under the impression that Germain was a criminal more as an act of rebellion than anything. That makes a lot of sense given how easily he has adapted to life as a crime fighter. He's also not been much of a risk-taker, and might not have been ever.
::: In any case, he is a very well-rounded sort of intelligent with great social skills, a natural investigator/researcher, and probably would have had an easy time with university. I imagine him finishing his classes without having to do much work, and having some time to be a degenerate on the side. Probably not top of his class or anything, but of the party he is the best or second-best in every intelligence-based skill. --[[User:Msallen|Msallen]]
:::: Eh, that'd also explain the bardic lore stuff and even minor spellcasting that come with level(s) of bard.
:::Yeah, I'm making it. I guess in-thread I said I'd check, rather than yes, but yeah I'll be there. -[[User:Slitherrr|Slitherrr]]
 
 
I thought you LIKED the stub-based achievements! --[[User:Detarame|absalom]] 12:40, 30 April 2010 (EDT)
: I do but it was exhausting to do so many is just a week! They were a great idea, though, and I feel like I made a lot more progress filling out the wiki than I do with my normal highly over-worked articles. [[Fresia]] and [[Flannery]] are works of art, sure, but to anyone actually using the wiki my 30 2 sentence entries were probably far more helpful. --[[User:Msallen|Msallen]]
:: This exactly mimics my sentiments about the recent stubbins
::: I'm a fan, I'm much more comfortable stubbing things than fully fleshing other things out, just because the amount of history you guys have in this thing is a little intimidating. -[[User:Slitherrr|Slitherrr]]
:::: Sure. I thinks stubs are more approachable and easier all around. To be fair, it's not like we have some crusty old codex we're slowly translating - as much as Matthew likes the Gnostics, he's not privy to any secret wisdom. Everything he made, other than the Sayid thing, he invented whole cloth or came out of a wall of text summoned by careless questioning. Feel free to embellish and invent: other than the Alexandria Narrative, most everything is hazy or unexplored, especially between, say, 300-1300 FI. Even by me.  --[[User:Detarame|absalom]] 13:51, 30 April 2010 (EDT)
::::: That is a good point. I made up at least 50% of the content I generated, and the rest I culled from the wall-of-tests I posted in the GM vomit pages. --[[User:Msallen|Msallen]]
:::::: I'll probably still stay in my language-and-Kib corner, at least for a while, yet.-[[User:Slitherrr|Slitherrr]]
:::::: Also, a number of entries I made up, but didn't mesh with GM, which in turn inspired a wall-of-text dump into the article, which I then shaped into an entry. The point is... don't be afraid to go completely off the cuff. --[[User:Msallen|Msallen]]
::::::: For that matter, I think most of the stuff Matt did was atlas entries, which don't really intersect much with the religion stuff. Speaking of, we should finish the atlas. :) --[[User:Detarame|absalom]] 16:43, 30 April 2010 (EDT)
:::::::: Yeah, I really ought to send you that. I fucked myself with those rivers and I've been dreading them. I've got a mostly free weekend... I'll call! --[[User:Msallen|Msallen]]
::::::::: I actually meant "Almanac." The entries about the countries.

The dudes you just killed, did they make their pages recently? They're not supposed to be able to get through the CAPTCHA! Although, I suppose their pages might not have linked to external sites. Maybe I can configure it to bring up the CAPTCHA for every anonymous edit, not just ones with links.-[[User:Slitherrr|Slitherrr]]
