Borderliney TOS Violations

• Ad hominem attacks
Excessive and inappropriate Sexual content

• Tell me if this is In-Character Role-Play, why is it Gaining in Popularity?
What kinda Island is This turning Into?

Just tell me How things are going to Be here and I'll plan accordingly.

I'm here to play and have fun

• Not Log in to Wake up under a Pile of gross Juvenile verbal attacks

or Lewd and Suggestive RP

• So much Gaybashing and I'm Not even Swinging that way

Ya wanna Swing at me, then swing a Melee weapon, drop some RP Smacktalk or whatever

The sentence "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" can be translated by "In his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming". Variations of the sentence have been used at times. ~ Go0gLeD!

Alrighty already with the Lost signs, damn.

Stuck in the ground is a makeshift sign. It reads “4 8 15 16 23 42”.

The numbers 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, and 42 appear throughout the series "LOST", both in sequence and individually. The numbers add up to 108, another common number in the series. We get it, someone's really into that series. Myself I've never seen an episode of it at all.

Loyd at the Outlook in Durham is where I get my drinks there. It's a nice place to stop for conversation, libation, and evisceration.

Stone Owl in York doesn't seem to be run by anyone last I checked.

Hanged Misfit could definitely use a steady presence to keep it clean. Seems like a place to cast aspersions upon the habits of the poor monkey there and other unfortunates in there.
