I thought it was genius and needed to be preserved for posterity. XD
Sounds good! *Glee* :)
For a second I thought you were talking about his actual quote...thinking, yeah, I just read it. XD
Glad to see it back though! :D
Yeah, I realized that that's how it came off a second after posting it. XD But yes, I was talking about the thread. This was one of my favorites, so I'm glad for it to be back. XD

Not from the forum, but...
QuoteCharacters started to emerge: One of the newest is the owl Cedric, a cuddly little sidekick whose main job is to act as a foil for the hero. Roberta was never 100-percent satisfied with his development and feels with more time he could have played a larger role; even so, Ken Williams sees marketing and licensing possibilities for a stuffed Cedric.
XD
From the Official Book of King's Quest Second Edition.
Stuffed Cedric = Furby.
Cedric? Cuddly? You MUST be kidding! ???
I personally would love a stuffed Cedric. And no, that's not a reference to taxidermy.
I'd buy it! :yes:

What!? It's a fantastic pun! ::) I'd question your taste in puns, but since puns are often considered the lowest form of humor, that'd be a waste of time. *shrugs*
So you're arguing that the two phrases
Quote"...clean your household..." and
"Episode 2: Two Households"
form a pun? It can't be a pun because the word in question, "household", it used in the same sense both times. If anything, I'd call this an allusion.

Yes, but I believe it was intended to spark some sort of comedic reaction. The phrase wasn't really meant to allude to the subtitle of Episode 2. He was trying to represent the redundant action of a character from a show. I wouldn't call it a pun myself, but it was intended to be "funny". However, I'm just choosing to look past it, because it isn't worth debating.

Hello, maidens. Look at your king. Now back to me. Now back at your king. Now back to me. Sadly, he isn't me. But if he stopped using maiden-scented body wash and switched to Ye Olde Spice he could smell like he's me. Look down. Back up. Where are you? You're on a The Green Isles' ferry with the king your king could smell like. What's in your hand? Back at me. I have it. It's an oyster with a golden key inside that unlocks a door leading to the thing you love. Look again. The key is now a diamond-encrusted tiara. Anything is possible when your king smells like Ye Olde Spice and not a maiden. I'm on a horse.

QuoteActually you sort of forgot a few of the lines also in the game
Where Graham talks about how the darkness in his life made him stronger. As someone once said "A Candle burns brightest in darkness" or something along those lines.
I think it is alluding to King Graham defying the fate of his existance, defying being a pawn in these endless struggled through darkness and light... and chosing both.
Chosing the bad with the good. Which isn't even the choice. Darkness and Light are not good and evil. Hense why Rosella's nightmare is a world of perpetual boring light and Alexander's is a world of darkness he cannot escape, they are both the struggles at their core character. Deciding that even though their lives have been tough, that there has been genuin joy, genuin strength to be had, and that the journey is what sustained them all through it.
Afterall this game is called "The Silver Lining"
... :) Thanks, neovenek. You've lessened my fears of a bad ending for Graham.

Debating and analyzing is all well and good, but what's the point in stretching out a childish, inane argument like the one this thread degenerated into? :P
Well, see, I'm not sure on this point. There was an actually interesting point/discussion to be had (though off the original topic of the thread, so I didn't follow it). Why are there humans in every story we tell? If there aren't humans, there are usually anthropomorphized characters, etc. Even discussing the implications of the Light/Dark-side duality in comparison to a good/evil duality is somewhat more interesting than sitting around talking about how cool lightsabers are. :P
So, my point is that it is possible to have interesting, intellectually stimulating conversation on points that seem arbitrary or silly and that running around calling every analysis of something you find unanalyzable (because you consider it silly or arbitrary from the outset and therefore unworthy of proper intelligent analysis) stymies actual productive conversation. To that end, Neonivek has a valid complaint: he is interested in the discussion, but people keep chiming in not only to not contribute but also to detract by sharing their opinion that the conversation is silly, inane, childish, or pointless.
Here's the thing: if you don't reduce either intellectual or moral arguments or messages from media, then you are going through life with your brain lodged firmly in the off-position. You have the choice of when to turn it on or leave it off. So, you don't want to analyze Star Wars? Don't. Hopefully, you do analyze or consider the morality or logic underpinning at least some of what you consume. Now, if you don't want to do that for anything ever, I highly recommend that you get some intellectual depth... that or continue to be a drain on society. (Ok, I've slipped into using "you" for generic third person... I'm too lazy to change it now.) Telling other people their conversations are silly, inane, childish, or pointless is a way of trying to deny them intellectual curiosity, and if nothing else, unless they've done that to you, it is simply unfair. You think it's silly. You don't contribute. ...We're on the bloody TSL-forums, for Pete's sake--precisely how many times did some troll come along to say "you're all wasting your time, this is silly, this game will never happen"? Honestly. ::)

To be fair, the OED is such a massive undertaking (every word in the English language plus the etymological history for EVERY SINGLE ONE) that there are bits that haven't been updated since the 1930s. They're currently working through it (again! This is like the second time they've had to do this) and will eventually have all sections up to date(ish), but it's going to take a few more years. XD
The OED is awesome! I had online access through the university when I was in grad school. I miss it, but I can't bring myself to pay the subscription fee. :-\

We were discussing how we would stat out Deloria's character in an RPG as a dragon (rather than a human mage which we did the other day :P)... seeing as her dragon was an aquatic dragon with pearl scales that periodically gets bored being a dragon and emerges to cull the stupid from the ranks of the humanity (her current schemes seem to primarily focus on magically poisoning kegs at Greek parties across the US). So, in a way, she did kind of have a "gun".
I had to talk her down to magically poisoning kegs... I had to convince her that actually, as impressive as dragons are, within this setting, if you tick off or otherwise upset enough members of magical society and/or the secret government agencies that deal with the magical and psychic, even if you are a dragon, you are setting yourself up for a terrible time. Skilled magic users and sufficiently developed psychics can go toe-to-toe with you... and they will... probably in considerable numbers. (... and you will eventually tick them off as you wipe out large sections of society for being stupid... :P)
Come to think of it... that was very similar to explaining to her that while her Ailuromancer could call up an army of cats to raid the kitchens... that's a considerable threat to the masquerade and will attract unwanted attention... ... ... seriously, just teleport the stuff you want to you subtly instead.
Anyway, sadly, I did not think of that reply and just replied with "No. Also, who is this?"... they never replied. ::)

Err... sorry, that's pretty much it. After that whole witch trials, inquisition... thing, the magical society in this setting has decided that secrecy was the best option (it was that or ... possibly wiping out a significant number of people... but being fairly established in society with some standing, that just wouldn't do).

Makes sense. Plus this gives you a morality/control system of sorts: players acting out craaazy and being too overt with their powers will get slapped down by the Masquerade police or something, I presume?
