    Yeah, JALU, I've seen them, and they really impressed me. I can think of plenty of minor quibbles and criticisms of the movies, but they all left me with the same feeling of enchantment that makes the books so special.

    Yeah, and he got it fair and square! I switched from Surak to Cochrane about the same time he registered as Surak.

    Let's see - 'Scot', because I'm Scottish and like most Scots I really, really get a lot of amusement out of Scotty's accent. The rank came from a feeling of general self-importance at the time of signing up. The 'II' stems from the fact that when I first signed up from my home PC it went kaput for a while (transformer problems), so I had to set up another account to keep posting.

    On other boards I've also used Machiavellian, as I am a long-time fan of poor old misunderstood/misrepresented Niccolo .

    My wife and daughter call me Martin. Others call me Mr Glen or Sir .

    <Looks around bashfully>

    Name of my first RPG character, Werewolf:TA.

    And better then her real name. Or nickname:

    'scary hairy Mandy'

    And it kinda fits.

    Oh yes! You have to be really foolish not to expect two Romulan NPCs to first vaporize the wall behind which you took cover and then your character!
    btw The ones with the pointed ears are called Vulcans...

    No objection here. I've been going by Sarge since I started frequenting boards about three or four years ago, and I always use it unless someone else on the board already registered it. So I always put <<<< in my sig even if I have to use a variation, like "The Sarge" over at Slipstream BBS.

    Well, "Gaunt Man" is from one of my all-time favorite RPGs: TORG, where Gaunt Man is the High Lord of the horror cosm, Orrorsh. I've used it ever since I began playing Wing Commander (the first one), although I didn't actually look up what it meant in a dictionary until about three years ago!!

    Can you send me a copy of that report after she is finished, I think it would make an interesting read in my spare time. Thanks.

    I decided on Lone Wolf because many years ago in England (hang on!, starting to sound like that lousy Robin Hood TV program that was on last night on TV) there was a series of game books (along the lines of Fighting Fantasy if you get them out in the colonies) featuring a character called Lone Wolf and, since I couldn't think of a better name I settled for Lone Wolf.

    It's not exactly along the lines of the topic but in response to Gaunt Man I have one thing to say.

    TORG ROCKS!!!
