ALL CAPS



ALLCAPS attempts to compensate for his limited rhetorical weaponry through the extravagant use of capitalized words - something netizens refer to as SHOUTING. Sure, a sprinkling of capitalized words can add spice to an attack, but overuse is like too much tarragon in the stew. Even worse from a tactical point of view, too much shouting alerts other Warriors to the opponent's verbal WEAKNESS and emotional EXCITABILITY.

All caps are appropriate in certain situations.

It can replace bold, italics, or underlining when using a text area not supporting those modes.  e.g.  I don't see exactly why THEY need it.

Legal documents/Terms of Service

Headings or Titles

As a point of history:  Our last server clear was on September 27, 2004.  That is 4963 days ago (13.6 years) as of today.

If you're visiting after a long hiatus and have forgotten your password, try emailing me via the support form at http://www.pcrpg.org.

If your character is from after the 2004 clear but appears to have been deleted or reset, chances are it was caught in one of the inactive account purges over the years.  Backups were made before such events, so try the support form.

Why's that?  If you have a family, suddenly you can't play games?

Hold on now.  There's a flaw.  Who said that TRPG induced the emotion called fun?

Celtic.. I'm more worried about you not being smart enough to grow up than Pecker playing games.

And why don't you look at the rating on games before you make a statement like that.
