Ha, I thought it was Magneto. -2 nerd points for me.

Edit: actually, I still think it's Magneto. Unless it was a Baldur's Gate avatar previously but was then changed. In which case, nerd points for all!

And I said to myself, 'I am glad that I am not a clockfeet.'

He has changed the avatar since Garner's comment CJ, and it definately looks more like Magneto than anything I can think of right now...

Damn Spider pig

Link says: Magneto. Spares me the shame of not having recognized a BG avatar! Whom we have a lot of in our avatar archive...
*claims all nerd points*

And welcome, Silvermoth!

Now, so they don't get lost, here are the optional entry questions from page number one of this thread:
Quote:

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

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

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

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.)

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

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

Hey everyone, yes, I did change my avater. Looks like I screwed up alot of people with that (sorry) It was Baldur's gate but I changed it to Magneto the arch-nemesis of the x-men. Any now for the questions...

1. I'm not sure why I chose "Silvermoth," I used to call myself "The black moth" on imdb.com but decided I preferred Silvermoth instead.
2. Lol, I am male.
3. I am 19 years old and I live in the merry country of Australia.
4. Lol again. I would be interested in a discworld movie, I mean, I was one of the naysayers that said Lord of the Rings could never be translated well into a movie and look how that turned out! With the right people, I think it could be an amazing series of movies.
5. One of my close friends turned me onto Discworld because I enjoy fantasy novels but am so sick of the deathly serious tones prevalent in all of them. He turned me onto Discworld and my first book was Small god which i didn't quite enjoy but when I read "Equal rites", I was hooked!
6. One of my favourite quotes is "If the Swan be nesting high, then floods are expected; if only the head of the Swan may be seen, they have arrived abruptly." From the Discworld Almanack (February, the year of the Prawn)

Hi, Catriona is my real name, but everyone calls me Cat, which should lead everyone to realise I'm female (either that or really, really afflicted).

I'm 21 and live in Cumbria at the moment but I've been at uni in Newcastle for the last three years.

I'd love to see a Wee Free Men film, it could be perfect but I'm not sure if I trust anyone to do the book justice. Probably nothing could match up to the images conjured in your mind.

My dad loves science fiction and fantasy and I was always looking for more books to read- one day he recommended The Colour of Magic and the obsession was born.

Quote of the day is "soy un gecko espanol"- I am a Spanish gecko (my dad's trying to teach me Spanish, and I pick up on random things).

Just realised I should probably say that I live in the north of England and not just name random cities.
