#5 toastedamphibian Jun 09, 2009 20:34:24	If only there was a way to force all text on this site to appear as either black or white. Have you tried pushing 'Ctrl+A' latley?
#6 Xeadin Jun 09, 2009 20:36:28	Read my Signature! :D
#7 dirtyfrank Jun 09, 2009 20:37:29	Have you tried pushing 'Ctrl+A' latley? I don't think he has.
#8 Novacat Jun 09, 2009 20:39:35	For one thing, Control-A doesn't do anything on my computer. Also, Command-A highlights all the text, but doesn't make the rainbow of colors any less obnoxious.
#9 toastedamphibian Jun 09, 2009 20:55:10	Perhapes your computer is dumb then? On mine, rainbow colors turn black and get surrounded by a white box.
#10 dirtyfrank Jun 09, 2009 21:22:16	On mine they become white text surrounded by blue.
#11 toastedamphibian Jun 09, 2009 21:29:05	It depends on the color. Some of them are white text surrounded by blue, others are blue text surrounded by white. The blue is so dark I have to realy focus to realize it isn't black.
#12 dirtyfrank Jun 09, 2009 21:34:06	With me everything goes to either white text with a blue (light blue or sky blue to be a bit more exact) background or blue text with a white background.
#13 ADHadh Jun 10, 2009 8:07:08	Liar Fine, if you're Western he's Alex and if Eastern he's Sasha. But here at home he's Alek.
#14 Dark_Stryke Jun 10, 2009 22:05:37	In a party with a male human, male dragonborn, and female shifter, I find it odd that "only human in the party" and "only female in the party" are notable enough to even bother mentioning. I mean, there's only one shifter and one dragonborn, too! I could understand commenting about there only being one human if there were say, four elves in the party! But each party member is a different race! Likewise, I could understand pointing out that there's only one female if there are a lot of males, but there are two males to one female. Whoa, she's sure vastly outnumbered by her male counterparts, isn't she? That bit of ridiculousness aside, it's a decent writeup.
#15 malegnomebard Jun 13, 2009 9:42:55	Well, it was supposed to show the irony that there is a lower percentage of female PCs in many parties, along with the fact that humans are supposedly the most common race in almost all published (and many generic) Campaign Settings...so...yeah...I could've posted about Rhogar being the only known Dragonborn in my "Points of Light" world with blue scales. By the way, Rhogar's brother has a Dwarven name, due to the fact that the family of four lives in a Dwarven settlement in the mountains, so who knows why Rhogar has a Dragonborn name...I guess because I didn't think of it at the time. Oh, and Alek's father is named Regdar...no, not that Regdar...Regdar Stormshroud, scholar and advisor to the mayor of Goldsteppe.

As someone who has taken more math and statistics courses than he cares to remember, I can tell you that 3 is far too small a sample size to claim that it's anywhere outside the norm. Even if 75% of all adventurers are human, and 90% are male, it's not statistically remarkable for a given party of 3 to contain precisely 1 human and 1 female. Outside the norm, certainly, but not incredibly so. Now, if a party contained 4 females, all dwarves, and one human male, then it might make sense to comment about the "only human male in the party". Now, if it's true that Rhogar is the only dragonborn in the world with blue scales, that would be something worth commenting on in a short summary, and yet it was the only thing that wasn't!
