But in fact, I've seen it (in older formal writings) as an history. Which to my modern ears (and to most others, probably) does sound funny. But as the writer who used it wrote a whole book on Historiography, I'd imagine he wasn't making an unintentional mistake!

Oh, . Some patriot. Red and dark blue look good on me today, so I think I'll shoot for Kaliphlin.

What? You mean it wasn't supposed to be a Kaliphlinian archer about to totally whip that tree-hugging opponent?

To fail to use an in front of a word starting with a vowel is certainly an erroneous construction, whether you're writing medieval or modern. Formally (and probably more so in earlier times) an is often used before h also (an history, an hour). In front of acronyms it's a little more complicated. My gut says that if the acronyms starts with a vowel sound (eg. MOC; em-o -cee, FOL; ef-o-el), you should probably use an an. (Note: Google confirms my gut. ) Edit: Some people pronounce MOC as mock, in which case using an a would be fine.

Nope, this looks very nice, great colorscheme and your rigging is impressive as always! I like the stern on this one, and the brick-built ESL flag!

Another great One Mug!

I can imagine that getting that to work would have been frustrating, but the end result is great! Very recognizable and much smoother than the smaller version!

Great colorful gardens SilentWolf, nice variety of plants! Good job on the gazebo as well!

Neat build, the load on the horse looks great and you did a good job on the ground texture as well!

I really like that you've left it open for us to not declare for a specific side... gives some nice options here. Looking forward to building!

Thanks Mengish! Thank you! Thanks Phred - this was conveniently simple! Thanks Titus! Turbans are surprisingly useful!

Thanks Captain! And no, Uncle isn't much of a republican... Thanks Elostirion! I always enjoy playing around with miniature ships! Thank you! Thanks CG! Yeah, the chair is a rather modern style, but I exhaust my repertoire of medieval chairs pretty quickly!

Thank you! One day you'll probably be saying the same! True... Thanks! Thank you! Not sure at this point if Jo will figure in my next few builds or not, but we'll see!

Great work Titus, the rockwork is excellent and so is the texture on the castle! The shield you built in over the door looks really good, as does the arched architecture!

This build looks great, the colors are perfect and adding the vault at the back gave it a great depth. Looking forward to seeing how your banking endeavor pays off... though if you take up Elostirion's offer, I'm guessing that you'll be going broke.

This certainly looks like a fast ship, the rigging looks great and so does your Eslandian flag! Very intriguing stern design too!

Very nice little ship Legostone, the grey and green go together well and the rigging looks good too!

I really like how you went all out and did a whole series of vignettes for the build up! This particular one is a great way to wrap it up, the colorful crowd looks excellent, and the stalls fit right in! Best wishes to Roman in his candidacy!

Great inn ZC, looks very Avalonian and the slanted door is really neat! And of course the opening function is awesome!

Very nice small plantation Elostirion, the trees in various stages of growth look good and so does the little palm-leaf-covered lean-to!

Thanks Lazer! Thank you! A triangular design was handy to save me from having to build four walls... After a whole bunch of photoediting, I was a little out of inspiration to try to come up with a story for it! Thank you! Thanks! Thank you! Nope, no stress in this build! Well, at least, not of that kind... Thanks! Thanks! I hope it will be!

Sounds like Roman has a lot of ideas! Great micro!

I don't have much to say about this, so without further ado: Well, I spent an awful long time on this build, but I think it was worth it. Very happy with the blue ice color I was able to achieve - in fact I was pleasantly surprised to see how well the tower technique lent itself even to a trans-blue. Of course it would have been neat to make a bigger castle, but I pretty much maxed out on ice pieces. A shout out to my younger sister who helped out here and there and who I bounced a lot of ideas off of! Thank you for looking!

Looks like they're having fun! Fire tree was a great idea. Great mug too and I love the monkey!

Location: G09 Tags: um... Hmm... where am I? *rubs eyes and climbes out of bed* This seems to be a really interesting sort of place... all kinds of stuff... I wonder what's in this drawer? Oh, neat guns! Howdy! *gulp* Um - hi! Just poking around... erm... so... what's up? You're up, that's what! Man, I was starting to think you'd never get outta my bed! But no worries buddy, we're cool! We are? I mean, well... I kind of... don't know your name... or... anything about you... Right! The name is Jo! I'm a janitor here at Greater Drigo Resorts. Okay - I'm Guy K. Wyndzon... um... how did I get here? Let's see... you've been here so long that I really... oh yeah! Figures! I picked you up on Ertauq, suffering from a severe sunstroke. That was... let me remember... 'bout six months ago! And I've been lying on your bed ever since?!?! Sure have buddy! Wow! Oh, don't give yourself airs. This other guy, he lay on my bed for five years. Figures! He was dead. But make yourself right at home! I'm a hospitable fellow. Got quite the collection of miscellaneous furniture, as you see. People die, or leave their apartments, and I get the pickings! That katana-weapon over there - there was a Japanese feller in 906, and he had this crazy whole studio... and, yep, you're eyeing that wig. Well, it belonged to number 304 - she was the nicest old lady! Died, and left me her wig. Made me swear never to toss it. So there it is! And the face under it, why, that's quite a relic. I picked it up on Jen's Star, and no one yet has found a satisfactory explanation. Can't say that the two go together, but... And then, that skeleton. We had a doc in 788 - it was his. No, I don't mean that, of course. Not his skeleton, but - you know. Fell over the date of the great geyser of 3804, lost a leg. He handed it down to me, but I get shaken pretty bad down here too, so that's where it lost an arm. Ah... I see... and why am I wearing a different suit? I mean, don't get me wrong, it's pretty awesome, but... Well, happens that your old suit was a little the worse for wear. And watertight is a must down here. Down here? Yep. This is the old building. No one uses it any more - 'cept me. And... why don't they use it? Well, it has it's problems. Geysers, specifically. But a watertight suit and... oh, hold on! Helmet up! Here it comes! Here what comes? GEYSER! I decided that I wanted to make the build spin,even though, as it turned out, the function really doesn't add much of anything... oh well. Well, it's been a while! This was a relatively quick build, just to get back in the mood... hopefully I'll be able to continue helping Octan out a bit these next few weeks... we'll see! C&C welcome! Thanks for looking!
