Heya guys...sorry for the delay. Went home for a funeral on the day I was chosen and just now saw it.

1) CRPG's until there's a MMORPG that approaches the depth of their brethren. I'm currently enjoying ES4: Oblivion and I'm about to show Tyrannthraxus who's boss in the original Pool of Radiance again. My MMORPG's only end in resentment at wasted time and a few names on AIM that I avoid lol.

2) Siblings. Yes. 2 of them - a 26 year old brother and a 21 year old sister (I'm in the middle at 24). We got along fairly well, barring the occasional and inevitable smack-down of epic proportions. There was this one time, the battle of the plastic ninja sword against the plastic death's scythe...*flashback* ahhh...nevermind. The wounds are too deep

I love em now, and we chat regularly, out of ninja sword reach.

3) Hunting... Michigan may be a popular hunting ground, but I've never fired a firearm. I did go bow-hunting with my recently departed grandfather though, 10 years ago. If anyone nearby has any extra venison-jerky they wanna send me from a hunt, I'll be their best friend though.

4) What do I actually do? As good a question as any. Normally, I spend my time trying to keep up with crazy amounts of reading and such assigned - I'm entering my second year of a doctoral program in anthropology. I also work as either a research assistant or a teaching assistant. This semester I'm the TA for a mid-level class on human evolution, which I'm psyched about. Do a quick search on evolution in the CE forum - I'm pretty much guaranteed to be found there

I'm taking the summer relatively easy - painting offices, light reading, and heavy gaming.

5)a) Good or evil ruler of the world? There are more than enough unjust rulers in this world. I'd rescind my autocratic hold as soon as chaos could be averted, that is, after I abolish the silly nation-state model, end race and sex disparity, and institute hand puppet theatre as the official entertainment of Earth. Can't I be a good ruler and still have minions? None of those useless minions though. My minions will all be capable at something, unlike, say, imperial stormtroopers. "Oh, that's Jane. She's one of Lucern's minions. She can install a phone line like no other."

5)b) Lord Soth is pretty cool, but I think the Dracolich is my favorite. I believe the image comes from a scene from one of the Forgotten Realms source books, where a party of adventurers is doing battle with one. Classic D&D.

Since he appears to be back and have a functional computer, I choose Callum as the next answerer.
