Further post remarking that the meaning of my name in Greek/Latin/other language from a unrelated country/era actually means man/woman.

So it fits that it is a male/female name in my country and it's the rest of the planet being wrong using it as a female/male name.

Polite correction to an earlier mistaken claim about this game, from someone who owns it.

Followed (or preceded) by an apology for not being aware of this GeekList until a year and a half after it was begun. Optionally, with a preemptive disclaimer of having dutifully read the many other responses before responding oneself.

Comment from moderator, copied to all posters' PM accounts, to say that calling another user a 'shill' is offensive.

Comment from moderator realising that he has used the word 'shill' himself, causing a feedback loop.

Comment featuring Youtube link to the Knights that say Ni saying 'it'.

Comment saying that it's better over at the road warrior free-for-all that is F:AT.

Comment from original shill asking what F:AT is.
