Manga information
I suppose you also don't have any information about the mangas "Fall of Magincia" and "Maze of Schwarzschild"? After all, they seem to be ultra-rare.--Tribun 16:13, 20 November 2010 (PST)

Unfortunately not; I don't have them at this time. I can confirm that the characters on the back cover of Schwarzchild are indeed the three supporting heroes in the Exodus manga (Aida, Lennon, and Bigelow after he's transformed into a human at the end); beyond that, though, I sadly got nothin'.--RACapowski 18:37, 20 November 2010 (PST)

Question on "Shakespearean" English
If one god's talking to another on a formal occasion and I want to make it look olde and holye, do I use "thou," "ye," or "you" as the singular nominative pronoun? I'm getting conflicting information from the web. I'm looking for something in the vein of the French formal "vous," if that helps. RACapowski 19:48, 5 July 2011 (PDT)
 * This gives some good examples. You'll want "thou" for singular nominative pronoun. "Ye" is plural. -- Fenyx4 05:03, 6 July 2011 (PDT)
 * Yeah, I understand the subject/object issues outlined in that post, but I'm getting information that "ye" is, like the French "vous," used as a singular second-person subject on formal occasions. Not the case? RACapowski 06:14, 6 July 2011 (PDT)
 * I'd go with "ye/you. "Thou/thee" has consistently been used as an informal/personal address in contrast to "ye/you" in virtually everything I've read that needs to make that dichotomy in English translations (Buber's "I and Thou", most Russian literature when they need to add an extra dimension of familiarity over the eight gazillion nicknames, etc...). Remember, however, that Ultima Olde English is actually purposefully wrong at points - as Richard Garriott and Raymond Benson apparently liked the way incorrect first person pronoun usage sounded. --Blu3vib3 23:10, 6 July 2011 (PDT)
 * Thank you both. *Again.*  :) RACapowski 08:20, 10 August 2011 (PDT)

You're Seriously a Hero
Enduring Vitor's haircut for however many pages you did... you, my friend, are worthy of Avatarhood.

-sigh- Guess it's my turn. Better look up a good decapitation SFX font.--Blu3vib3 16:11, 14 August 2011 (PDT)
