So does that mean that you moderators are going to start paying JadeKnight now? When do I get my salary?  ;D

I dunno, but I went to Puff the Magic Dragon, and being the dragon slayer that I am, I smoked him.

Level 85 was Archangel. There were some we didn't see long, long ago, but right now it takes me so long to level that EUOL can take a week and a half to update and we still see them.

I didn't say *we* paid servants, just that they theoretically are paid.

So I'm a juggler now.  ::)

I just want all of you to know that I am serious about my art! This is no namby-pamby juggling of rubber balls or stuffed animals or wet noodles or anything like that. No, this is hardcore. I juggle gleaming scimitars and revved chainsaws and live tigers, among other things.

So, SE, that's gleaming scimitars, live tigers, and a revved chainsaw. And some ninja monkeys on the side. Got it.

Why not? The titles aren't usually complimentary--not until you get to level 50 or so, it seems. And to be something really vile, it is entirely plausible for it to be the bait for the creature at the very bottom of the food chain. That would then make you, Scretch Bait, the lowest of the low.

Until you reach level 19, of course.

actually, you're a student od Dark Magic, right? i think the story behind that is that a skretch is a being that is used for material components for dark magic spells. You're being used as bait so they can catch them.

I would guess you are right SE, but did EUOL just make scretches up, or are they really a type of Fantastical creature?

Chimera, think about it. What do you use to bait a fish? usually worms. That means that worms are lower on the food chain than fish. So fish can't be the bottom of the food chain. Think about it for a while, it will come.  ;)
