    The examples or activities you use when teaching writing involve students creating unique self-descriptions of humans gifted with wings, unmistakably stocky persons with muscular builds that often have beards (male and female), humanoid amphibians, lithe underground dwellers who are a distant cousin of humanity....etc.

    I have done this. Students have also actually logged into Achaea to create a character, describe themselves, and post a background. Some still play.

    Oooh, remember this?:

    This is clearly a fine FINE University, as evidenced by the fact that 
    one of their classes has, as homework, completing the first three newbie
    quests in Achaea. =)

    No way! If I had known UMD had classes like that, I would have stayed in-state.

    So, I might have been playing too much Achaea if my first thought when I read:

    John 8.

    Blah, blah, Bible, blah...

    4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

    Blah, blah, Pharisees, blah...

    6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.

    7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

    8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

    Blah, blah, Lord and Saviour, blah...


    And my focus is entirely on the parts about Jesus "writing on the ground" because all I can think is that this confirms that Jesus was a Runewarden... 

    Ergo, Runewarden is best class... Word of God?

    P.S. Just explicitly stating here that I mean this entirely as a bit of lightheartedness, and it is my absolute last intention to trivialize anyone's sincerely held convictions about their faith or class choice.
  • But he had self soul rez, so clearly a forestal. Admittedly, he could have had multiclass (ignoring the fact that demi-gods are trans in all skills simultaneously, which is a huge pain when the syntax for two different abilities match).

    Luke 24.

    1 Now upon the first day if the week, very early in the morning, they cane unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with then. 

    2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.

    3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

    This seems to me a pretty clear example of the use of a Gular rune to get rid of a stone wall. Also, to reply to @Nim and the suggestion that Jesus was a Forestal, of all things, I think that this:

    Mark 11.

    12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:

    13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.

    14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.

    ...

    19 And when even was come, he went out of the city.

    20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.

    21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.

    Makes it pretty clear that Jesus was -not- a Forrestal. So now we know that Jesus was a Runewarden AND that Forestals are heretics. 

  • Oh, I see, not soul rez, soul cage. Freaking necromancy.

    I think this passage speaks for itself @Nim...
    Mathew 10:24

    Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
     Jesus confirmed Mhaldorian. 
  • He did an awful lot of suffering, if I recall. D:
  • Jesus flipped a number of tables at a market in a synagogue (I think) and was using a whip to drive off the merchants.

    Serpent as well, or just decided to splurge on some extra weapon proficiencies?

  • Jesus clearly is Sarapis' multiclass test alt.
  • @Aurom, so what you're saying is that the upcoming introduction of multi-classing is, in fact, The Second Coming? As Jesus will return and all the faithful, i.e. people who play Achaea, will become Christlike, i.e. multi-class?

    Agreed.

  • At the point where you Target in a raid and yell out "It's horripilation, bitch," it's safe to say you have a problem.
  • The only answer which comes to you mind whenever anyone talks to you is "F**k you."

  • Many years ago I was on a local BBS where if you wanted to send somebody a message you would send them a "pnote."

    I was on the phone with a client and I told them, "I'll send you a pnote later."

    I did one today:

    when end you mentally go through the command for every canned  emote someone is doing.. In real life.

    coworker smiles and says "Greetings!"


    'greet coworker' stares blankly at coworker. 'dammit.'

    I've unintentionally added "Salutations" to my vocabulary for greeting someone. I've NEVER heard anyone else say it outside of tv/movies/games :(
    You know, that one thing at that one place, with that one person.

    Yea, that one!

    At least they understand when you type say before whatever else you're saying?
  • If reading "You yawn suddenly and mightily." is enough to invoke an actual yawn.
  • If you think a "forger" forges weapons and armour. Why do people ask for a "forger" on market channel when clearly it's a blacksmith they need. A "forger", after all, paints or crafts forgeries! Yes?

    In real life, that's usually what it's referring to. But that's only because the other kind of forging is a lot more rare now (unless you work in (or talk about a lot) the metalworking industry). Both meanings are still correct, and are still used.
