Oh attends. Cela ne fonctionne pas en anglais, je dois adapter "manque" dans le jeu de mots ... que ce soit, il fonctionne en français. Espérons que ça va marcher, même sortant de votre traducteur. Toutes prévu!
I have no idea what translator you're talking about. I'm just hitting the quote button and replying to you. Perhaps if you have your page filtered into English it would solve this issue.
I forgot how much I loved watching you reply to Alaric's posts.

By then, I will either
1) Have already published and disseminated a...syndicalist manifesto.
or
2) Have reached/am nearing the (apparent) pinnacle of wizard brokenness.

Stockholm, Goteberg, Norrkoping, Uppsala, Jonkoping, Helsingborg, Karlstad.
This post is worth the entire discussion.
Anyway, for quiz results:
Tolkien got 100%.
Moonbear missed 1.
Everybody else who actually answered got like 80-90% generally, there were a couple more like 60-70% and they were pretty much all euros. I think its safe to say the people who would do poorly are the ones who don't give a shit and therefor are the ones who don't answer, so its hard to figure out who is worse, but it appears to be the euros.
TY Teutonica!
@Galt
Everybody is bad at teaching about other countries, and I actually think USA is better at it than many of the countries I've been to. Thailand is really really bad at it.
But I think that USA has a somewhat unique responsibility to teach more foreign history than we do, for a couple of reasons. First off we have more immigrants and more diverse immigrants than most countries, and I think when you know a little about the background of the people in your community it makes it a lot easier to get along.
And secondly as Americans we often have to vote for people with political positions that directly impact the people of other countries. I don't think this needs much explaining, but like I feel some responsibility to know the history of places like Cuba and Iran because who I vote for may have a dramatic impact on the lives of the people there. Likewise I feel some responsibility to learn the history of Vietnam and Germany because of my countries past actions.
So in general I think we as Americans should know more about the outside world than we do. Do we need to know stupid shit like what I put up in the quiz? Of course not. But I don't think we should get a free pass to be bad at something just because everybody else is bad at it too.
I also think that learning about a culture other than your own is just a good thing in general. It helps you learn about your own culture and value it when you're exposed to something different, but you know that firsthand.

So I'm down.
I'm pretty sure by the time Gimble is level 15, you'll all have plane shifted to Zendikar as one or more party members will cease to be interested in having adventures on their home plane. Also, when interplanar travel can be done on a day-to-day basis, dealing with matters on an interplanar scale rather than plane-contained issues is more or less an inevitability.
At that point Asmo's brain will explode from the party choosing to shift to a new plane every session thus rendering all DM prep pointless. It can be like the D&D version of Rick and Morty!
