Its actually not confirmed which one sadly. Stupid historians make up your minds.

But eh its a history which is always case by case which makes it unintelligible. *sigh* this is the main reason why no one condones history as a 100% credible.

I would kindly ask you not to insult my profession.

And yes it is true that many findings that historians make are subject to change. Reason is very simple, new findings or different interpretations of historical evidence. The further you go back to history the lesser are the chances of accuracy. As for the Valentine case? People who you should ask are in Vatican who canonized the date in honor of Saint who happens to share his name with other saints (because it is so strange that name is used by more then one man in whole history...).

But what made me really unpleasantly agitated is that you said "No one likes history". As Cicero said "Historia magistra vitae est". It is honestly great shame to show that level of disrespect to History and even more so to claim that nobody cares as even today there are countless people who not only are proud of their own history but also revisit it in their own favor. Also another good saying is "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it".

Well I am sorry for insulting you my friend.
I love history but it is always that history is well...
"Told by the winners."

I love history and often regard it all with a grain of salt. I do not for example go up to it and immedately assume everything I am being told is 100% correct. Otherwise I would Believe Charlemane was an Extremely nice man.

Erotic Role play obviously, and no you aren't really supposed to do that. I mean you can but... Anyway shouldn't this moth be joining side of Cupid side or the cool Maniac, the Goddess of Insanity. Kinda of war between love and insanaty.

And kinda was not saying that to you but to sw2.

Paillan, in my opinion, your character has always acted ten times more OP than Bern's. Perhaps, you take a little too much advantage of the "no limitations"-rule this RP has? Well, no one will, or should, stop you, but you should really consider adding some limits to the power of your character, because at the moment, you come up with a new spell for almost each post and I have honestly lost track of how many spells you have.
Except that I know that you can't make portals anymore ^^

And welcome to the dark side SW2, they allow you to go all crazy, but you will have to live without the precious and sweet love, that every man and woman wants - we have it! Ha! <3

Magic had limitations? also I never done necromancy time stopping time swifting, making ice stuff, earth stuff and plenty more schools of magic I could say. This are my powers:
fire (duh?)
holy (angel)
ilussions (miths say that demons used this to play with humans minds)
control over weaker ones (also a classy demon magic)
electric (electric is just another form of fire really...)
anything else?

Magic doesn't have limitation, but human decency does.

Also, you're completely missing the point. Listing the kinds of magic you haven't used to prove that your magic had limits, works about as well as Hitler listing the people he didn't genocide in defence.

Hitler: I'm not a mass murderer, I never killed the British, Italians, Turks or the Swedish.

You: I'm not an overpowered asshole, I never done necromancy time stopping time swifting, making ice stuff, earth stuff.

I rest my case.

I have certain rules on magic. Because one thing is there is also time magic, which should outright be banned in all RPs, that and ressurection magic because ressurecting a character over and over again just gets stupid

Yeah, for time magic, I can say that I avoid the going back in time/going to the future - kind of time magic because everything will just end fucked up and confusing, but I don't see any problem with the kind of time magic I'm rollin' with at the moment :)

Oh, and Al, can't you explain to him the "Draenor"-thing?

Guys, things got out of hand. Either I am, or you are clearly all misunderstanding the current events.

Kenny, after yours and Paillan's fight, Mania appeared, and teleported Paillan to Cupid's territory. Mania did not follow him, she merely created the passageway for him, and then teleported herself back to her underground temple.
Now, after being teleported to Cupid's territory, Paillan changed appearance to that of a normal human and called himself Daniel to not reveal his true identity.
So first of all - Mania is not there, and secondly, you have no way of telling Paillan is actually Paillan.

I'm sorry, but I suggest deleting the latest two posts or at least changing them greatly - things can still be the same outcome but things must go differently, because they kind of screwed things up and confused anyone - or perhaps that's just me? Please say so, if that's the case

It was honestly just because he was confused about what had been happening. He even stated that in his post - anyways, it's been fixed now - you're good to go :)

Anyways, I have noticed one thing lately that kind of disturbs me a lot. It seems none of you have any respect left for the different Idols (The Mad King, Mania, Cupid and Santa Claus). You act like you are more powerful than them, and I don't like that. You are not. No one are - it's the point of being an Idol that you are more powerful than anyone else. Please respect the Idols in future posts, and understand that they are powerful beings - this is to ensure that the RP plots stay as they should, as Idol vs Idol, not Player vs Idol :)

Perhaps, but there can only be Idols for certain things :)
Cupid - Idol of Love
Mania - Idol of Insanity

Santa Claus - Former Idol of Christmas
The Mad King - Former Idol of Halloween
Legion King - Former Idol of Halloween

So yeah, if you wanna be an Idol, you should try take over Santa Claus' place as Idol of Christmas, or the Mad King/Legion King's place as Idol of Halloween. All those spots are clear at the moment. I don't know how to actually become an Idol though :)

Yeah, perfectly well and alive, but they are no longer Idols. Legion King took the place as Idol of Halloween from the Mad King after the first Christmas event, where the Mad King was thrown out of Hell. Remember?
However, during the second Christmas event, it was revealed that the Legion King had been thrown out of Hell as well. So he is neither lord of Hell, nor Idol of Halloween, any longer.
The one to take control over the creatures from Hell will probably be the next Idol of Halloween, but Halloween is long from now, and we shouldn't worry about it yet :)

... misspelled Paillan-version of Draenei.

But I'm a little bit confused by your character - I can understand that he isn't a Draenei after all, and that he is a humanoid Panda, or Pandaren if you will, and that he is a Brewmaster, like Chen Stormstout, as well as a Paladin, aaaand able to become a dragon and breath fire and all that. Am I right? o_O
