Why I Can't, Don't, and Won't, trust CEP..

This is a link.

I'm really not sure if I need to add anything to that, but I'll tell you what I see.

1. Barry(CEP team) off on a rant about how the government is out to get him.


2. 420(Also CEP team) posting a single sentence out of a letter with no context. To be fair, he did exactly as he was asked, no more or no less.


3. Morikhan(Q Lead) adds context with the entirety of the letter.


4. Actual conspiracy is revealed in all the things left unsaid, by CEP team.

Any idiot can lie. Let's face it the act requires no skill. Concealing the fact you are, requires skill at masking ones telltales. But online, your not looking at someones face anyway.. so no skill involved. Misleading(all the more so when its deliberate) that requires talent....

For example
"Have you seen your father Jane?"
"No mom."

Now.. If janes father called her.. or talked to her without her making eye contact(Think yelling down the hall). She's being completely truthful. This is why court oaths require one to Tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

So there it is in a nutshell, Evasive answers, Misleading statements, a dearth of cooperation, and if asked to dig back, I can find and show outright lies.

Sorry, but with that resume, I wouldn't trust these people to walk my dog, much less run a large For-the-community project.

Mmmmm! Tastes like Q!

Begin with the link..

Then we can get into "about damned time" followed by "Totally worth it."

Let's poke around a bit.. Gallery of portraits.

MY personal favorite?

Even after a victorious battle, the march home is exhausting. It is only discipline and honor that prevent the Sapphire Knights from discarding their heavy steel shields that only 2 days prior, kept the barbarian hordes at bay.

Breaking Bards...

Bards have gained my Ire attention lately.. Thus I share some plans. Scheme is to lower BAB, Potentially add more spells, And to add in bard songs.

What do you mean bard songs? They already have Bard song?

Yes.. they have a song. Sort of like how a fighter may have A Sword. Or a mage may have A spell. Screw that. I'm making specialist songs for bards, and by that I mean.. They do one specific thing, and its much stronger than the generic "Everyone can do every thing a tiny bit better" that normal bard song does for allies. I'm doing songs that

1. Last longer.
2. Recharge after use. You'll only have 1 use of each song, but use it.. wait a while, and it comes back.
3. Do one specific thing much better.

So what sort of benefit does this provide?

Well, for that, I give you a song sampling:
