Quote from: Phantom
Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Burning and raping the land is recreational. Where business is concerned, though, sustainability is the name of the game.

Either way is fine.

Gib, as in chunks of gore, is pronounced 'jib' though. I'm adamant about that.

Up until a month ago I never even noticed that it was "-ine" at all, and had been referring to the stuff as Adamantite.

However,

That didn't last long, huh? Shame, cause binary's cool. Anyway, an important message: I will be changing my names on every username based thing I use to ASCIt on/around 10/1. Consolidating, I guess you could say.

Tomayto, tomahto, deedra, daydra, adamanteen, adamantyne. It's all the same. Besides, I'm still trying to figure out the proper way to say "Urist".
