Your still assuming that that name has meaning to me. Stick with the darklands thread, and you will get further. It would be nonsensical for someone as obviously paranoid as I am to try and hide myself from one group of people, but give this other group info about myself. That would be pretty stupid. As anyone could plainly guess, the possibility of being discovered would preclude that action. You don't hide by giving your name away.

And when I got things, I would accumulate cash before getting it. Does that help? Why would I let them get me anything? They wouldn't know the first thing about anything, and for the most part I wouldn't want them to know the first thing about anything I do, know, play, read, etcetera. > > Every path leads to the Templars, the are the root of everything. > > Oh, please.

Good with Kilner OK without Kilner Sucks without Taelons (and it's Kilner not Kline like some people on the list would lead you to believe). Now if they hadn'ta ditched Kilner in the second season, the show could'a' been great. But they ditched him (who they had been for the entire first season been building background exposition for) and replaced him with insta-hero, with absolutely no background / exposition (and he stayed that way). But still season two wasn'a so bad, but again they ditched the second decent character they had and replaced her with insta-bimbo, and they ditched doors altogether which made the first two seasons...worthless. Yep, just threw out what they had been doing for two years, so they could get higher ratings from dumber people. Then in the third season they ditched the last decent hero, uber-geek, and replaced him with insta-genius-teeni-bopper. Then in the fourth season they ditched the villains for insta-dumb-vampires, and they ditched insta-hero for insta-bimbo. The only redeeming quality of the show was the villains (the taelons / juridians). The only reason left to watch the show is for Von Flores (Sandoval). The rest is fluff.
