@Anaphory It's 'word' with a 'v' at the front. As for why that happened the really short answer is 'Gareth has persistent linguistic issues' and the slightly longer answer is 'which he acquired from others'
I have a tendency to pick up habits, colloquialisms, and accent fragments that I've been exposed to for a short length of time and then they join the communication slurry
Sometimes that works out great. Other times this happens.
@Lord_Gareth I have been known to do that as well -- spend a week or two in the Missouri Ozarks and pick up a bit of a Southern drawl temporarily. I've also picked up British spellings of a few words (sabre f. ex.) from being online too much :P
@Shalvenay For some Godforsaken reason I have a half-formed Scottish brogue when I'm working a glass-fronted counter (fuel center, carnival register, etc) that I have nowhere else.
My regulars have yet to ask about it but several are deeply confused as they know me from multiple parts of the store
@doppelgreener This was during my brief stint of working for McDonald's. My store was a located in a Walmart and was thus the approximate size and shape of a coffin. As you might imagine, we did shocking amounts of business, despite there being several products and services we could not provide because of our size.
I come in for the closing shift only to find to my shock, the morning manager is still there. This should not be the case. She shoulda gone home some three hours ago.
Unfortunately the closing manager has unavoidably called in, and the midshift guy is nowhere to be found
She calls the mid guy one last time. I can't make out the words on the phone but they were loud enough for me to hear at the front counter and 'sorry' was repeated many times
Dude comes in drunk as a lord and speaking in a Dublin accent which I would learn later that night is because he was raised there as a kid. Evidently he'd been up all the last night partying and had about three hours of drunk sleep, during which he missed his alarm, before we woke him with the call
Dude gets on the grill and beasts out the dinner rush like he made a bet with a god about his burger prowess
And when we finally hit the lull he looks out into Walmart and says softly, almost to himself, "I ain't doin' this hung over." Clocks out for break, gets a bottle of vodka, kills half of it in ten minutes in the back, and continues his shift
Fastest close I ever had
Corporate came in the next morning and gave us gift cards for the store looking so nice xD
@Ryan I'd definitely keep 2 sheets - you have 2 sets of slots that you need to track separately, as well as different casting numbers for your different spells.
@Ryan Well, for example, are you primarily a Warlock, and just dipped a level of Cleric for heavy armor, shields, and healing spells? Or are you mostly a Cleric and put in some Warlock levels because there was something you wanted, or..?
TIL a man named Wilhelm Voigt once dressed up in German military uniform and commandeered several real German soldiers in order to rob a bank. All of the soldiers followed him without question, taking a train ride, arresting individuals, and commandeering a mayor's office on his orders. He got away cleanly, went a week and a half before getting arrested, and then was pardoned by the Kaiser not long into his sentence.
@Miniman ah I was playing a Monk. Only 3 players showed up last week, 2 monks and a Barbarian. The DM said we really need a healer so I volunteered. Hoping to get back to my Monk this week but if I have to play the Cleric again I want to make it my own
going to do Knowledge Domain Cleric and Fey Warlock
Cleric at level 1 for a while for Cure Wounds while leveling the Warlock side but then get the Cleric up to 6 eventually if the game goes long enough and I don't die.
I make sure that that's my link to the site, so it's kinda like going to the IRL book and opening it op prior to finding the spot you were looking for.
@doppelgreener how did he also get pardoned after all that? that is the weirdest part to me
( I mean like, especially back in that time period, in Europe no less, if you disobeyed an officer in uniform you were subjected to a lot of BS, people can be conditioned to do some crazy stuff through certain kinds of reinforcement)
