shouldn't it be 'sorry, we were wrong'? not 'we were wrong, sorry?'

*shrugs* probably works either way, but mines sounds better

Hi, everyone!

1) what formed the motivational impetus for your chosen screenname?

It's a combination of my first and last names, mundane but true.

2) Are you male or female? (Asking because there has been quite of lot of confusion over this, on and off.)

Female 8)

3) what age catagory and geographic location do you fall into?

53 years, Ohio, USA

4) do you have good faith that a discworld movie COULD be done well enough not to suck? (note, this in no way shape or form asks about casting choices you'd like to see. i have a loaded rifle and i'm not afraid to use it.)

We may be finally getting the CGI ability to pull it off, but I agree that Terry would have to be totally involved in the creative process. Since I need my regular book fix from him, I'm not sure I want him spread so thinly!

5) who or how were you turned on to discworld/pratchett?

I found a copy of Strata about fifteen years ago and enjoyed his humorous SF. Then, when I came across a copy of Wyrd Sisters, he had me thoroughly hooked and addicted!

6) what's your personal quote of the day?

How about: "You'll never get a cat to be a servant. You ever see a cat return a stick? 'Hey man, you threw the stick, you go and get it yourself. I'm busy. If you wanted the stick so bad, why'd you throw it away in the first place?' " (From another of my guilty pleasures, Red Dwarf)

Hi there! This is so weird to be surrounded (well metephorically speaking) by Pratchett fans. I think I've only known about three. Well, maybe four.

1. I got my name from Wicked[i], by Gregory Maguire. Elphaba is the "Wicked Witch" and she rocks! (well, until she gets water thrown on her by the idiot Dorothy)

2. girl, women, female, whatever...

3. I'm only 15, which kind of sucks some times. I live in America, Home of the Free, Land of the Brave, etc., etc., More specifically, San Fransisco.

4. I think there's about a 15% chance that a Discworld movie could be done well. And I'm not even sure if I have that much hope.

5. I got into Pratchett because my mom gave me the Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents years ago for my B-day. She didn't even know what it was, she just got it because it had a quote on the back of the book that said "Think Tolkien, with a sharper, more satirical edge," or something like that. After that I devoured the rest of Discworld.

6. “There were no public health laws in Ankh-Morpork. It would be like installing smoke detectors in Hell.”
(I thought it would be appropriate to insert a TP quote since this is the Terry Pratchett website)

Hi Janible, Red Dwarf is likewise one of my guilty pleasures .

Hi Elphaba, you're in relatively the same geographical location as my family! (but not me). "Wicked" was an awesome, awesome book, but I don't know if I have the balls to name myself after such a dark and haunted character

Another Californian. Pretty soon, we will outnimber the Brits.

Yay, Another Californian. Pretty soon, we will outnimber the Brits.

Oh, and Wicked was great. I perticularly liked liked the scene where Elphaba/Fae/The Witch confronted the Dwarf in the Black Mask.

Yeah! Let's go Cali!

Seriously, California is the place to be. And I'm not just saying that. In less then five minutes I log off of this computer to go to a Terry Pratchett booksigning and get Thud! I feel like I'm about to meet my hero or something. I hope I don't do anything retarded.

NOTE: i'm not really a dark person, I just like dark books, and dark characters like elphaba, and sometimes dark movies. But besides that I'm normal. Whatever normal is...

Hi elphaba, nice to meet you.

1) I just made it up because it wasnt something someone had. Rockycog is a screenname i use alot so I used it here so I would remember it. Does anyone remember me from ye olde boardae?

2) Female

3) I am 17, and live in Essex, England

4) Im sure a movie wouldnt suck, but I'd just prefer the books.

5) Found one in the library a million years ago and then I kept on reading them.

6) "I look in the mirror and I don't recognise myself, but no one regonises me here in this new place, so what is the difference?" (because I am a newbie!)

Well, over and out, Rockycog ~

Hi Rockycog, we appreciate everyone from the old board finding her/his way to this one. I am, though, a little curious on how your post on the old board is to be understood:

Just wondering, because it sounds you remember us as, in your own words, a kind of rather... well... "fear"-inducing, smiting bunch. Which would make me personally wonder why you followed us to the new set up of the old community. Can you clarify in case I got that wrong? Thanks in advance.

I was meerly wondering on how far Ba's power spreads... or indeed how long is the thunderspork.

BASICALLY if the gods were still lingering around the old board or not at all. The fear and smiting thing was just an example of thier power.

I have followed you here to the "board that I can't see" (Unseen) because um? Well I think your all quite a nice bunch, so I came along here.

Does this explain it? I hope so because I am not always that great at explaining things and if I have to do it more than once or twice I end up confusing myself. And then theres no hope of ever understanding it.

Rockycog ~

Hsing said you posted this on the old boards. The way it is worded it looks as though you don't think of us in a very positive way. 'no longer any fear of smiting' tells us you thought we would act in an unfair way towards you for a comment.

I am begining tp think this is more of a language/translation problem though.

Yeh... I didnt mean to be negative bout you guys...

It is true you do hurt/smite/kill each other quite alot though as is seen in the Tripod comic strip... um I didnt mean it seriously that I was actually scared or glad you had gone or anything. I was just jokin around.

Anyways, sorry....... I hope no offence was taken. And if there was, sorry again!

Rockycog ~

To be honest, I did see that as a joke. Anyway, it's not important since it's all cleared up now.

Hi Rockycog.

That's all I wanted to know. Thanks for clearing that up... I miss even 90 per cent of the more obvious jokes.
