Is this a Britishism I'm not aware of?
« on: September 29, 2009, 08:04:00 AM »
I need to get something off my chest.

Characters have arcs. Buildings have arches.

There, I said it. I feel better now.

Couldn't a character buy an arch?  Or maybe even have an arch enemy?

Every character does, indeed, have arches. Two of them in fact. One on each foot. :D

edit: i suppose i should correct myself. Every HUMAN character has arches.

Yes, but you didn't even consider the tender feelings of the non-humans before making an inflamitory assertion that all characters have arches in their feet.  Such careless, xenophobic racism is what's tearing our country apart.

Let me guess, you have a bucket with eye holes and a shotgun sitting in your closet?  Anytime the little green men come, you don't even wait to see if they are friendly.  You and bobby joe just get your buckets and load up on ammo.

It's a sad, sad universe  :'(
