<br /><br /> "why did I pick up a Duck in a Dungeon?"

Aw, man!  That's what I was gonna say.<br /><br />(OK, not really - but it's an awesometastic answer.)

OK, here's the newest common answer - PM me with what you think EVERYONE ELSE will say most often.  <br /><br />Which token (non-consumable) gets used the most?<br />Which token (consumable) gets used the most?<br />Name a forumite.<br />Choose one: $1,000 or a golden ticket.<br />If you could only use one ultra-rare on a nightmare run, what would it be?<br />Which character class should have the best reflex save?<br />Name a token that you'll never see in actual use.<br />Name a source of damage in the dungeon.<br />Name a token you always carry but hope to never need.<br />If there was a duck on the floor in the last room, would you pick it up?<br /><br />And if you don't like the questions, I'll save up a rude gesture to share with you at the con.  =D<br />

And, another riddle:<br /><br />Never speaking, still awake,<br />Pleasing most when most I speak,<br />The Delight of old and young,<br />Tho' I speak without a Tongue.<br />Nought but one Thing can confound me,<br />Many Voices joining round me;<br />Then I fret, and rave and gabble,<br />Like the Labourers of Babel.<br />Now I am a Dog, or Cow,<br />I can bark, or I can low,<br />I can bleat, or I can sing,<br />Like the Warblers of the Spring.<br />Let the Love-sick Bard complain,<br />And I mourn the cruel Pain;<br />Let the happy Swain rejoice,<br />And I join my helping Voice;<br />Both are welcome, Grief or Joy,<br />I with either sport and toy.<br />Tho' a Lady, I am stout,<br />Drums and Trumpets bring me out;<br />Then I clash and roar, and rattle,<br />Join in all the Din of Battle.<br />Jove, with all his loudest Thunder,<br />When I'm vext, can't keep me under;<br />Yet so tender is my Ear,<br />That the lowest Voice I fear;<br />Much I dread the Courtier's Fate,<br />When his Merit's out of Date,<br />For I hate a silent Breath,<br />And a Whisper is my Death.<br />Jonathan Swift, (1667-1745)<br /><br />

Which token (non-consumable) gets used the most? - Dagger Of Trick Shots.... +75 to hit only does 1 hp damage<br />Which token (consumable) gets used the most? - Amulet of Rouge Detention<br />Name a forumite. - Mica...wait  jammies<br />Choose one: $1,000 or a golden ticket. - $1000<br />If you could only use one ultra-rare on a nightmare run, what would it be? - HoP<br />Which character class should have the best reflex save? - Rouge  duh!<br />Name a token that you'll never see in actual use. - Oil of Inducing Labor<br />Name a source of damage in the dungeon. - Party cards... paper cuts can be Deadly!<br />Name a token you always carry but hope to never need. - Stone of Self Destruction<br />If there was a duck on the floor in the last room, would you pick it up? - Probably<br /><br />And if you don't like the questions, I'll save up a rude gesture to share with you at the con.  =D  ( Might I suggest the First and second Finger Split ( as if making a V), and then placed Tips inward on the neck (Like you're poking yourself on either side of your Adam's Apple))<br /><br />and the other one is  " My I-pod"<br /><br />

Here's a new combo token - the +1 Raterskin We Lanter.  Can you figure out which 11 of the 2008 tokens goes into its construction?  Hints are available - all briberies considered.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Actually, there's a built-in clue, if you make your web-fu check.<br /><br />

I'll take the easy one - Waterskin!<br />

<br /><br />Ding ding ding - 1 pt for Brian!

I'll take the most personal for me!<br /><br />+1 Ring of Protection!

<br />I'll take the most personal for me!<br /><br />+1 Ring of Protection!<br />

<br /><br />It's almost cheating if you can look down at your hand and see the item!  <br /><br />

DOH! <br /><br />Does it help if I didn't have it on at the time I guessed?
