Nice idea, but it's probably in plastic and potted.

That, and in German you do not capitalize "der", because it is just the male case of the word the. And if you're addressing him ("give it a good shout though, Der Kamizar"), it's Herr Kommissar (provided he's male).

But hey, why let grammar get in the way of a rant.

4th Ed has gnomes, they're in PHB2 IIRC.

I'm guessing you ride a mountain bike or other bike that makes you lean forward. It's hard to look backwards on one of those. If you have a city bike (which you sit mostly straight up on), you'll be able to turn your head and body so you can view behind you easily, without swerving.

Ration rules were just an example. 4th Ed is streamlined in such a way that we're actually playing the game more than we are looking up rules. It's not about having to read, I've read it. It's about being tied up in details everytime something remotely unordinary props up.

Sure, 4th ed has its faults, but at least its a lot easier for new guys like my group to pick up and, you know, play.

On the other hand, 3rd ed was about "How much jerky did you bring when you went on this hike?", "Well, that's not enough jerky".

4th Ed is the first one I can play with my friends where we spend more time playing than looking in damn books. Also, if you don't like Eladrin (basically High Elves) or Dragonborn, don't play them.

In the end, all that matters is goals. In some competitions, "goal saldo", or the total amount of goals scored by a team during the entire season, compared to the number of goals against that team, does count for purposes of tie breaking in ladder rankings. For example, you get points for a win, a tie and a lose. It is possible for two teams to gain an equal amount of points. The team that then has the best ratio of goals for/goals against is ranked higher.

Yellow and red cards do sometimes carry over to further games, sanction wise. A player that got a red card during a match cannot participate in the next match. In Ghana vs. Uruguay, an Uruguan got a red card and he cannot play the next match versus the Netherlands (which I like, since he's pretty good and I'm Dutch).

During a match, stuff like ball ownership, penalties, corners and shots-at-goal are tracked but this is more for amusement value than for rankings.

So, you're not really missing anything.

Yes it's great. I just got a dungeon for my 63 toon in about 2 minutes on an afternoon. Previously I had to wait in LFG and trade channels to find 5 man able to clear that, and that took about 30 minutes on an evening (when more people are on).

Not entirely true. Just did a Coilfang dungeon (outland) on my 63 warrior, and some draenic water dropped. I couldn't give it to the healer who was from another realm.

I think (haven't tried it) you can only trade stuff that dropped in that instance and has the blue "This item can be traded for 2 hours" text in its tooltip.

They burn out every week? You might have some seriously dirty power where you live. We have a few ceiling mounted, closed, multi bulb fixtures, and the CFL's in them don't burn out nearly as quick as yours. Current set has been going for about 2 years now. And they're on for at least 3 hours straight.

Yes, public hygiene is a public affair. But there aren't laws against smelling bad. What's bad anyway? I get nauseous from people who wear too much cologne. Can we ban that as well?

I'm Dutch. Your point? I think people should be able to smoke in their own homes. Taxes on cigarettes are enormous, so they cover their own bills. Yes, they smell, but I've also stood next to non-smokers who almost made me throw up. You can't ban people smelling bad.

Also, I think you should be able to beat your wife, if she's into that kind of sex. Stop telling others what they can't do when they aren't really hurting society.

How? You're always OOM. There's no boom in oom.
