I meant to vote for Musashi but voted for german bloke instead. I am so sad  :'(

Jubal

Officially being voted a better cleric than Jesus. Casual.  ;D

Silver Wolf

Can't decide who would be best at stealth, scouting and tracking...

Just a casual question for CG...
Would you have a problem with drinking your own piss in such situations?

Tied with Jubal for best all round team right now.
Scum of the highest degree and don't let charitable citizens tell you otherwise.

I'm more of a Les Stroud than a Bear Grylls. Les never has to drink piss on his show because he is smart enough to find water. He's even said that drinking piss is silly. ;)

But if I absolutely had to, like arm stuck under a boulder type thing, then yep.

Ok, you win. But only by a short stream of piss. :P

Though I later noticed Genghis Kan.
That guy scouted and conquered half of the world walking only on the tip his left index finger and the lower part of right nostril, keeping a steady supply of water in his hairy armpits and juggling fruit with his feet.
True story.

My lead mostly seems to be due to me as master cleric and Ghengis Khan winning the tracker/ranger vote. :P

comrade_general

But he was just the fat leader! Other people did the work for him! :P

Jubal

Hence why I put the young Temujin, at the point in his life when he actually had to go solo and slit throats and kick ass.  :P

Unless you mean me, in which case fair enough.

CG - Still I voted for you.

Even though Genghis Khan did all the described feats and many more.

comrade_general

Yes of course I meant you, Jubal.

Thanks, Volfmann. :)
