So that's why you're always coming to North America, not for work but to try and find me.

Well then I guess I'll have to bake a cake, now that I know you're coming.

I find Abyss quite a mystery. I mean, is he (she??) actually a brainz eating cat? And if so, does she (he??) have a human master/slave?

As for DW, I know he is a great guy. His love of fine music proves that. Plus I have met many forum members and know that actually they are all pretty sorted. Not sure about Apt though. I think I would be too scared to meet him. And I think Gothos is not a moody old git IRL. I have a picture of him and Brynjar together...

I'm a lot grumpier in person. People irritate me. This is not a good combination with my part time work in a supermarket.

you didn't know that before?
clearly you weren't paying enough attention while stalking.

I can't say there's anyone I'd really like to know more about here. I get along just fine with the people's virtual personas but there's no guarantee it'd work the same way in RL.

Not that I'm on here too much, but Cold Iron always seemed pretty mysterious to me.

No he isn't...He's a pimp

He set me up with his sister not too long ago...or at least tried to. she was in England for what was my busiest week this year. Damn! I bet she was hot!

the only person on here that I can't get a handle on is...actually, nah...I'm not finding anyone overly mysterious.

Maybe I should change the thread title to "Mezla's attention deficit syndrome"

Darkwatch.

The first thing that comes in mind as I see that name is Juan Cabrillo and the Oregon. For the people who doesn't know where I'm talking about, I'll give a little explenation where the Oregon Files written by Clive Cussler are about. The book where I'm talking about is called Dark Watch btw.

It's about an Organisation aboard a ship (the Oregon) that is a kind of mercenary company working for the highest bidder, but never for the bad guys. They mostly do covert ops, sometimes even guided by the CIA. Most Operatives were formerly part of Special Forces and those kind of things. Juan Cabrillo is the Chairman of the Organisation while all Operatives are shareholders of the Organisation meaning all will get a share of the payment for a succeeded operation.

The funny thing is that the Oregon looks like a very derilict freighter, when a pilot comes aboard to guide the ship into or out of a harbor, Juan dresses like a shabby smelly captain to make the picture even more complete. But underneath the derilict "shell" the Oregon is a highly modern ship with a very sophisticated propulsion that (that reminds me of the special propulsion from the Red October for the people that have read the Hunt for the Red October from Tom Clancy or for the people that have seen the movie) that has a top speed of 50 knots (no kidding). Besides the propulsion, the ship has also all kinds of armaments.

Yes besides fantasy, I do read other books like fiction. I'm kind of a wolverine concerning books.

Anyway, my question was, where did you get the name from, Darkwatch?

It was part of a series of my first internet accounts back in the day, following my e-mail adress. Dark+something or other as long as it made sense.
Darkwatch
Darkblood
Darkheretic

I thought -watch was rather suitable considering that at the time I was more lurker than poster. All the other ones have fallen out of use except this one and my original e-mail adress.

I wonder what regular forum member is actually SE masquerading as a 'normal' person.

You’ve never heard of the Silanda? … It’s the ship that made the Warren of Telas run in less than 12 parsecs.

Discussion, Pub, Groovy & Feeling Down are the best forums and threads to get a little insight.

SB: Yeah, he was here at some point...

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....
