Before this thread descends into discussions of semantics - congrats elDiablo!

el Diablo is the Devil.

Yes, but the Devil has all the best tunes (or software companies, or they have him...ok, just ignore what i've said)

congrats elDiablo and IV!

And elDiablo is theDevil. What's your point?

I think that reply was in light of my accusing him of having long (or pointy, hairy or whatever) ears.
However, I'll refrain my werewolves enthusiasm to the appropriate topic and no longer try to confuse other non-playing board members.
Additionally, I've ordered one of my subordinates be whipped in punishment of my mistake. And to apologise to you all.

I was just joking about the fact that "el Diablo" is distinct from "elDiablo". I assumed you weren't *only* raising the translation from Spanish, since most would know that Diablo means devil, I'd imagine...

Ok, the joke is dead. Let's all just calmly walk away from it, and let the body rest in peace. No need to desecrate it any more...

Thank you all very much! I have very much enjoyed my first 2 days at Introversion - both in the Flying Hamster. Very fun!

Probably because NeoThermic's internets suck at the moment. :)

Neo was online earlier today. A few days back she was online in the old home. So definitely around.

It reminded me of having rent the apartment I was moving away from for an extra month, until I would have my connection at the place I moved into.

Ashley ?!

I didn't base my statement on pure assumption from my part. By something Neo told me I'm quite sure she is indeed a she (or a sick bastard

), but I refrained from stating that somewhere as I had understood his/her exact sex was quite the mystery around here.
However, look in the debriefing room for Neothermic's debrief of a game that was won with only 1M casualties. In the screenshot someone says "good man" and Neo corrects "good woman".
If it's wrong than so be it, but "she" said "she" was a woman. I'm not going to play cluedo to see if everyone states their correct age, sex, location, ...

Alright, you believe what you like. The correction in the debrief is courtesy of the fact that NeoThermic's gender is an ongoing joke, so it shouldn't really sway you either way.

torig · Postby **torig** » Fri Jul 13, 2007 12:27 pm

It's not even that Al. It's just that.... well, does it matter really, given the context of the forums and the games?
So, since it doesn't matter, I believe what the other party wants me to believe

NeoThermic is Jesus! How could Jesus' gender be an ongoing joke?
