Well, I got an email today from "service@citibank.com" and opened it without thinking about it. McAffee tags and deletes a trojan from it, no problem. The email wants me to help update my account security by clicking a link and verifying my personal information on the website...yeah, right.

Never mind the fact that I don't have an account with Citibank...this is just stupid. Makes me wonder how many rubes actually fall for this and give someone else all their personal information.

might want to notify citibank about it anyway. just so that it's annotated.

Zions bank here in SLC had an internal memo that they lost almost $20 million last year to a similiar scheme. the memo was about how they were trying to control the pupblicity from it.

Thanks for posting that - I've had a few of those myself. Haven't replied of course, but it's worth making people aware.

Hair farmer?

grows hair / has long hair...

I'm fairly certain they know about it. I just saw a report on this kind of thing on CNN Monday night.

Shadowborn's a dungeon master?

That's so hawt.

That was almost funny.

Yes, but Arsi's giving me entirely too much credit. I don't know a word of Klingon...

You can borrow my tape of conversational Klingon. And hey. Can you flank attack a target using a ranged weapon?

Only if you are within 30 feet.

Nope. Sorry. You can't flank with a ranged weapon, only melee.

Dammit. I let one of my players borrow my Players Handbook. If I had it, I'd look it up and stick it to you.

DM's word overides the handbook....his world/his rules the handbook is a guideline only

I just looked it up. And you can't. That's what I thought. We win. Rawk.

Is that you, Shadowborn?

"No. You can only flank with melee weapons. One of the criteria for flanking is that you threaten the target with your weapon, and ranged weapons do not threaten an area."

That's me...strange, I never posted my pic on that board...hell, I've never even posted on that board. Looks like I've got a cult following of vampire freaks. Now how cool is that?

Oh, you can sneak attack with a ranged weapon, so long as your targed is within 30 ft. Perhaps that's where Synikul is getting confused...

Those are from Sire. He put up the old member pics section so we could snag our old pics.

Why didn't you ever tell me you were hot? You suck.
