(And yes, my reason for being Lanfykins is indeed 'because Lanfear was taken'. Even though I ran out of stamina for the books a few years back. It's my online nick, damn it)
And thankyou. I suspected him of being the Joe of Librarian and Monsoon fame, but it's nice to be confirmed right :)
I have this vague ambition to read the lot when he finally bloody finishes them. If he ever does. I may have to take a couple of weeks off work to do it in, though.
And Monsoon was one of the Most Irritating NPCs Ever in Renaissance. And everything that went wrong for Artemisia was his fault, damn it! And not because she was a psycho or anything.
It does look like it. I met the name last night in a general cheapo weird-shirt-and-oddness book, and was surprised not to have ever heard about it before.
Yeah, I looked at that, and failed to spot anything that screamed "conspiracy".
Well, there's the fact that Maitreya has a changable, but "instantly recognisable" appearance. So there might be (gasp!) more than one person claiming the roll. But that looks more like a conspiracy to defraud (the worshippers), or the starting point for the defenders or the faithful to claim a conspiracy against them.
Note that I answered the poll with an air of suspicion, since to me 'Maitreya' is the Maitreya Buddha, which doesn't exactly fit with the theme of conspiracy theories !
I didn't tick The Box, and yet the results still say that 100% of recipients ticked it! There's obviously something sinister going on here --- it's a subtle brainwashing scheme that's using the hypnotic effects of clicking on carefully-spaced radio buttons on a web page to condition us to where goth clothes and claim we like the New Model Army!
However.... the percentage is of the number of people who answered the question. So, since there's only one tickybox, 100% of people who answered that question ticked that box.
Yes, well - I suspect this might have skewed your asnwers somewhat. I thought of the relevant Buddha as well, and in that form it *does* mean a lot to me, and I *do* know a lot about him. This other stuff, I have no idea what you're talking about...
