I'll be honest. It was tougher to find any sort of definition of that second term than I thought it'd be. I don't like when Wikipedia fails me.

Hebrew is good for thing like that, but for insults, nothing can beat TEH YIDDISH!

Schlemiel, tsatskele, dreck, shtarker, zhlub, nebish, mishugena, kucker and to round things off:

KISH M'IN TOUKHES!



EDIT:It was actually really hard to think of ones I know that weren't utterly profane. I used Google for a couple.

I hate that over the last 2000 years, mainstream christianity has merged Lucifer and Satan/Shaitan into the same being. (In certain mystic traditions, Shaitan is still loyal to YHWH. He's the Angel of Testing People's Faith, Job-style.)

And in certain mystic traditions, Lucifer (light-bearer) refers to pre-fall Satan (tempter). And in the mainstream, no one cares much about the nuances and uses them interchangeably.

And if you search Google for 'Lucifer not Satan', you'll find a whole list of who Lucifer is supposed to be.

Personally, I just refrain from using the name Lucifer.

I hate novices that have to be handheld to do everything

I'm not an undersec or sec, but I don't mind answering questions, especially if they are truely clueless. It's when they KNOW how to do something and they refuse to do it until you tell them to... I asked on novice if they knew how to read the AB scrolls, they said yes, then expected me how to tell them what to do what its right in the scrolls they claim to know how to read!! !!! !!!!

I honestly don't care enough about you or that subject to bother looking it up on a whim. Now, if it involved cars or Italy, I might consider a google search.



AB files are grossly inaccurate most of the time. I mainly just use them for syntax. Your guild should have a help file that explains abilities much better than any AB file. Refer your novices to it.

I lost a circle, and I blame nexus, which I will using until the 21st or so which will make ME very happy.

And, I thought Spectre Isle was our territory, and that I didn't have to declare enemies there. And that if I did, I would get status on them if they kill me That system confuses the hell out of me *rages*

Spectre Island is neutral territory. Just like Shallach, and various other tainted not-actually-affiliated-with-Magnagora-but-claimed-anyways places.

Spectre Isle is NOT your territory, and the Isle of Light is NOT Celest's, just like the Inner Sea is not Celest's, and the Sea of Despair isn't yours.

However, if someone is enemeid to the Kelpies, they can be killed in the Inner Sea without Avechna caring. Same with the Sea of Despair and being enemied to Landantine.

Those are territories that your orgs claim as your own, but not places that ARE your own. If they WERE your own, like villages are, you'd get org conglut there, and be able to place guards there.

Makes so much more sense now, thanks

You all talk too much. I havent been gone 12 hours for sleep and View New Posts shows two pages worth.

*posts so that Diamondais has more to read*

Mean..Well..Im home all day, so I can finish it.

Ranting because I have a huge mess to clean up from the weekend. -sniff-

Except that Lucifer wouldn't even be his true name.. given that its Greek and all

And then there is your friendly neighborhood Samael.. the Poison of God, if I recall the traslation of it. Another name for the tempter.. which is sort of funny. I still like Christians who say they have read the bible but ignore the part where God says he created evil.

Then again, in the Apochrypha, the devil is supposedly the one who invented marriage, just to trick Adam and Eve and get God to kill them.. and instead God went "Meh. I'll just say I thought that up." and poof, its now something hoarded by Christians that gays aren't allowed to be a part of.. when really, they have the GREATEST right to it!...though, I suppose marriage being created by the devil would explain quite a bit

I actually read the book of Adam and Eve for chuckles.. because they like die on every other page. Though, the backstory it gives to why Lucifer rebelled was interesting, since the Bible really doesn't. Says that God demanded the angels bow down and serve Adam, and Lucifer went "Um.. how 'bout no?" and was being "Prideful" for wanting equality, not with God, but with humans. Which is interesting because it paints him as someone a lot of people can relate to, rather than just a vain being who wanted to be a god.

Meh, it WAS for a syntax (she asked about weapons, I told her she could summon a talisman.) She asked how, I asked her if she knows about AB scrolls. Then after creating the talisman, she asked how to use it...since she read the AB Talisman scroll, she had to have known how to use the talisman.

Maybe I'm just easily frustrated.

Interesting. Where did you read this? There is a jewish story about this, however its about "the angels" and doesn't specify any names. There is a book called Adam and Eve in the apocrypha? I don't think my version has it. (its also missing a few books of the maccabees annoyingly)


I am getting really tired of almost dieing everytime I try to visit Halifax or Avencha peak without using portals or spores. Damn dangerous landscape and villages!

I dont quite care to be around til the war ends, you know since Celest considers it such a heinous crime to leave the Seren territories to go the Hall of Records.

Eh. I don't think the war's ending any time soon, I don't think either side wants to stop.
