Haven't you ever heard the phrase "every cloud has a silver lining"?  ;P

Which carries the general sentiment of, "No matter how dark it gets, the sun will eventually come out". :) (Either that or, "Every bad thing also has a good side", I forget which. :P )

I think it's the second one... but I would have said "Even in bad things there's a bit of good" ;) Kinda makes you wonder what that says about the game... is there something (or someone) good in the Black Cloak Society?  :S

Yes i have heard of "every cloud has a silver lining" but not "every cloak has a silver lining"

It sounds cool, and i was just wondering how you came up with it ???

and also wondering who thought of it?

Ok now i understand why its called "Every cloak has a Silver Lining" ;D

I forgot that the others were altered phrases, so thanks for joging my memory ;B

An dby the way, King's Quest 1 did have a subtitle:

Quest for the Crown.

I bet it could be the opposite! Someone with apparently good intentions turns out to be baaaad. I always knew that Connor fellow was up to no good.

So every silver lining has its cloud, I say.

Or an otherwise good person ends up doing the wrong thing for the right reasons?

I think the subtitle on KQ1 was added post-humously, so to speak -that is, only after there turned out to be a KQ2. And in any case, "Quest for the Crown" is pretty self-explanatory...it's what you do in the game!

A parody of Quest for the Clown, perhaps? ;)

Didnt they get the name "Quest for the Crown" after they remade the game ???
Title: Re:Where did u get this name from ???
Post by: Celli on March 17, 2004, 08:26:03 PM
"Every Cloak Has a Silver Lining" is only one syllable more than "Abscence Makes The Heart Go Yonder".  Ahh, forgot about that one didn't you? ;)

Title: Re:Where did u get this name from ???
Post by: Jeysie on March 18, 2004, 04:50:40 AM
"Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder" has 8 syllables. "Every Cloak Has a Silver Lining" has 9 syllables. :)

Ahhh. According to my Webster's, "every" is two syllables, "ev-ree". (And that's how I pronounce it, personally.) Maybe it's different in Australian English.
