    Personally, I would pronounce 'Baal' as 'bail', as in a haybail.

    That's the way I would too, although I'm unsure wether it's phonetically correct or not. I just take it for granted that it is, and besides, that's the way Baal is pronounced in Diablo 2. And that's good enough with me. :)

    Ba'al was the Phonecian god of lightning and fertility, and also the fellow that the Israelites were always leaving God to worship. He is usually depicted with either a tall headdress and a long beard (a symbol of fertility), or bearded with ram's horns. He also is usually holding thunderbolts or a trident.

    Startling similarities between him and the Devil there, don't you think? Also with anyone who wields a trident and is part-animal, like mermaids.

    Damn I’ve been out of the loop.

    So I didn’t come up with an original first name. Would you prefer if I stuck with Mole103 the first name I went by, that’s just lame. I like Baal Blackwind much better.

    Mole103 is way better than Baal Blackwind. Mole103 makes you sound like someone that doesn't care at all, Baal Blackwind sounds like someone that wears a trenchcoat in the summer, weighs 250 pounds, and has a subscritption to Dragon magazine.

    Hay it fits how I play games, not how I am in real life.

    I’m a saboteur, not a fighter. People fight me I run, then egg there car/house and/or brake stuff, or at least turn off house fuse box.

    The worst things I’ve done where knock a kid unconscious with a rock when I was in elementary school, and came close to blow up a car but I changed my mind before the rocket engine fired in to the gas tank.
    gas tank.

    Yeah, ok, so my other theory about your name was also valid: You're a dumb ass.

    So I don’t get hurt and they pay big bucks, watts wrong with that. It never hurts to run when you will loose. Mostly I’m not a good fighter.

    Besides in the case of trying to blow up the car they out numbered, 5 on 1 wasn’t fare plus I was unarmed they had hockey sticks and where stronger than me. Then again when they entered my territory later a chased them all the way home with scours, almost cot up with there bikes to, stabbing at them and there tires all the way. Now I would use a sword/bow/staff, not kidding i have all of them.

    The fact that you don't grasp the reasons behind me calling a dumb ass for saying that proves my point. You really are a dumb ass.*

    Baal, your previous two posts are full of nonsense and bullshit. Please shut the fuck up before you hurt yourself.

    Well, chances are that if you don't stop, something like this will happen:

    1. You're going to get your posts mercilessly edited

    2. You're going to get a very cute avatar

    3. You're going to get an equally sweet title going with that avatar

    4. You'll earn the scorn of the entire board

    5. You'll get banned

    6. mrnobodie comes to rape you

    7. You'll receive a gential disease

    8. Babies will cry when you go near

    9. Eventually, all of the above.

    But who said 2,5 years of experience at this board was worth anything? :D

    What would be blatantly obvious criticism to you then? A burning cross on your lawn, and a close encounter with a carving knife?

    Why would a burning symbol of slow death that has been seen as a religious icon upset me.

    Fire pretty… Knife bad.

    Ok, I’ll make it simple.

    First thing.
    The cross was used as a way do display and slow kill people, it’s also used as a religious symbol. I’m not religious so why would I care if it was burning. Mostly I think of a cross as a symbol of Christianity cruelty in there past, as well as symbol of slow death as i said, so it would bug me having a cross on my lawn, burning or not. well probably less if it was burning.

    Second thing…
    “Fire Pretty�- I like fire, “Knife bad�- well it just fit

    Came from the phrase “fire bad, tree pretty�, don’t remember where it came from thou.

    Christian cruelty? Somebody needs to hit the history books. The crucifix was an execution method favored by the Roman Pagans, most famously used to kill Christ.
