Most of the Gods have a throne that will kill any mortal who sits in it. Many of us tweak our thrones the way you might work on your car in real life, making it into a sort of arms race to see who can kill someone in the most spectacular fashion.

@Omei: This kinda makes me wanna go sit on all of your thrones..... all of them, especially @Maghak's... I'd like to think that it would give Zsadist more indepth spitefulness towards the Gods to sit on their thrones. Hurray RP!!

Macian

I thought this was appropriate due to the Lycan changes...

The Bahkatu were originally released with no real backstory or history about how they were first created. @phendegwen wrote the backstory, a couple of us reviewed it, and we got it pushed through to admin with a fair amount of effort, and they had Barrkesh reveal it.

Iosyne

Did you know that the Pools has a drinking game that currently has 189 rules, and growing?

(credit goes to @Omei for yet another ridiculous prog)

Alee

You should list the rules for us.

Omei

About half of it is NSFW.

Alee

TAGS! Give us some amusing ones! You can't tell us you have a list of drinking game rules and not elaborate at least a little. *begs shamelessly*

Seir

I thought you'd all be dead from alcohol poisoning until I saw Carnifex revamp.

Eleanor

ITT: The real reason that Albedos and the Carnifex aren't ready.

Yeah, I didn't realize that the Pools had a Prohibition going.

Iosyne

I saw the GIF in the post, and then I saw the GIF in the sig and it didn't quite connect that the 2nd one was a sig, and I thought @Haern was making a very profound statement.

Stathan

Did you know. Iosyne's wombat was named by a member of her order a few years ago prior to the transition to Shadow Aligned Diety. >.>

EDIT:
To expand on that. He was also made immortal if I am remembering correctly and the character that named him was also going to train him to fight. The joke was he was Roderick, the Immortal Combat Wombat.

Moirean

Wombat is one of my most favorite words ever. Woooommmmmbat. Womwomwomwomwomwom.

Stathan

edit: nevermind

Teani

Roderick is cute. He also makes a mess that people need to clean up!

That was also part of the design. I used to be the one to clean up the temple on said alt that named him.

Eleanor

Also wombats are badass. If you don't believe me, try hitting one with a car. I guarantee it won't be the wombat upside-down in a ditch.

Serrice

Aarbrok

He looks like a little gentleman

Abhorash

Did you know.... that when Abhorash completes tasks, he gains nine levels?

(Bloodloch): You say, "Heh."

Twilight profile pic , how about Viktor from Underworld?

Omei

We here in the Pools believe that the Twilight series most closely follows our established vampiric lore. In fact, we often look to Stephanie Meyers' works for inspiration in our quest and history writing.

Ezalor

To stay true to source material, I propose that instead of vampires getting affs like dizziness in the sun we give our enemies dizziness while in the sun due to them being mesmerized by our fabulous sparkles.

Jensen

I found the praenomen skillset follows Bram sStrokers Dracula, ya troll!

Moirean

What, hax. I want credits for endgame levels.
