Re: So, how great is Kromm anyway?
Quote:
Unto that came HE, STEVE JACKSON, the Creator, to bring us the light of GURPS. But it was not really the mother of all gaming systems. So HE sat down and pondered how to make Our Beloved Game into the divine revelation it is today. It was the time of confusion, when many a line editor was considered and discarded, but in the end, a perfect specimen was found: KROMM, nowadays known as Our Line Editor, entered the scheme. Truly, He is the greatest Line Editor of all time, Divine Near Perfection, Only Not Perfect To Keep It Interesting. Praise Him Who Forged GURPS As It Is Today! Praise Him!* Praise Him! Praise him without End! *You may also hail him, éloge him, or 賞賛, 칭찬, поклоняться or 稱讚 him, or address your admiration of Our Line Editor in any other way that seems fit to you. Isn't He Magnificent?

Re: So, how great is Kromm anyway?
I just dropped in to give You my praises, Oh Great Kromm.
And to ask for Your Divine Blessing for the exam I am about to experience this Blessed Day. May Kromm have mercy on me, for I surely deserve nothing but failure, having wasted my time on role-playing, imbibing of impure liquids, smoking of foul smelling herbs and various other sinful activities, instead of wholesome study. May judgment be suspended and Infinite Mercy prevail.

And lots of luck. IME one should never underestimate luck. (Which, BTW, is also granted by Him, though we have to spend points for that.) |

I hope my points for Laziness, Compulsive Carousing and Overconfidence were enough to pay for Luck and leave a couple of CPs for rerolls. I'm about to try a skill check with a rather severe TDM with only my meagre default.

Re: So, how great is Kromm anyway?
I can somewhat second that. My grades in both staatsexamen were quite good, and I would have to add wargaming, university politics and a fraternity to Icelander´s list of main activities. And the one thing I truly did regularily and faithful every day to prepare was to swim laps for half an hour.

Re: So, how great is Kromm anyway?
I agree with all of you, even when you bring up conflicting points!

I woke up after a short nap, made necessary by the all-nighter I tried to pull to try to get some idea of the subject material*. I felt miserable and hung-over. I arrived late for the exam, couldn't find the room I was supposed to be in and when I finally found it, at least fifteen minutes of the three hour time-limit had been wasted. Sat down, reached for my pen. Found out that it had fallen apart in my pocket. Spent an entertaining ten minutes learning how to reassemble pens before finally getting it to work correctly. At this point, were I inclined to stress, I would be sweating. As I am naturally a very placid person, I was thinking to myself: "Oh, bother. Failing now will delay getting my license for a year." I look at the questions. There's four of them, all long dissertation pieces on various aspects of legal claims and debt. And I know how to answer each of them. I don't know why, certainly not because I studied (I never managed to read a single book for this course), but I did. I walked out of the exam shouting: "I am a Golden God!!!" Our Lord and Line Editor has well and truly blessed me with his Luck, Serendippity and other Advantages. All Hail KROMM!!! *But mostly spent drinking red wine, playing Flat Black by post on these forums and going out for dinner and beers with some friends.
