I was reading your previous MtAK, (you know, back when you were cool) and I didn't understand what you meant when you said that you were Norman English. What exactly does that mean?
Ah, yeah, the good days back when I was cool... and you were -- hm, I must have forgotten you. Could swear I recognize the name, though. Hmm. (:P, for other people reading this) Hah, can't believe I said that. XD Not exactly cool. At the time, I was obsessed with genealogy and family history. I was referring to the fact that my family originally lived in Normandy (France) and that my first traceable ancestor was a noble in William the Conqueror's army that went to England. He settled in England with the rest of the victorious Normans, the Norman English. Family ended up intermarrying with the Howards, the Dukes of Norfolk, making us related to both Catherine Howard and Anne Boleyn (okay, so I'm still somewhat obsessed with genealogy :P).
Do you think that siblings can be annoying?
Just occasionally. ;) My older sister and I used to fight all the time but now we get along well. My younger brother is 7 years younger, so there's no sibling competition or anything and we get along pretty well. He can be annoying, but usually just because he wants to follow me around. Not bad to have a Mini-Me.
Do you have family in Europe?
Yep, on both sides in England. I've never met any of them, but my grandmother knows/knew several cousins over there (she's told me about writing to them during WWII). I know that some of them on my dad's side founded a well-known wealth management company that they sold and that one was a knight, Sir John, who died several years ago. Would like to meet them someday.
Do you frequent any other forums or Web sites?
I poke around a fair amount of websites (The Drudge Report for the news summary (not necessarily for the politics...), Facebook, obvious ones like YouTube, etc.). The only other forums I frequent are those for Paradox Interactive, a company that makes strategy games that I love. Mostly lurk there, but join in one some historical discussion.
What did you think of the Czard when it came out? Personally, I thought it was pretty balanced. I actually had to tank in Golden for the first few turns!
It was awesome! A challenge, but not impossible, and with a nice unique freezing effect. Art was quite nice. I wish they'd used the punny description I included in the entry ("This Czard *cough* zard is Russian *cough* rushing to kill you!"), but it was admittedly somewhat lame. ;) I wish it hadn't been totally wiped out, but one of the staff mentioned something about the zards being very good at adaptation, so maybe they'll return one day.
That's all. See ya around!
Alright, see ya DK!
