Karlos: (reshuffled, separated present plot from history.. I think it's much better this way)


 * Yeah. That looks much better.  It was getting a little heavy there.  (Although I noticed you took out the question about how the Margonites, etc. tried to ascend before the Elonians built the Temple of Ascension only ~200 years ago -- that's 600 years between the Flameseeker Prophecies and when the Temple was built.  Perhaps the Throne is a much older structure and the Temple was built around it?) --Tometheus 06:29, 27 October 2005 (EST)

Profession...
If the article says He was a great warrior, and LINKS to the warrior article, then the use of the word "warrior" is not just "one who fights wars", but rather, the specific GW profession of Warrior. Plus he weilds a sword in the screen shot, so I vote to change his profession to Warrior (makes more sense than Glint being a ranger IMHO). -PanSola 04:54, 18 November 2005 (UTC)


 * I don't agree. He WAS a warrior in life, now he could be a vegetable, we don't know. He uses a bow all the time unless foes come near him (I know this is to protect his sorry butt). Nope. The only skill he uses is Claim Resource which implies his profession is a Republican. :) --Karlos 08:14, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
 * In which case, the context of "warrior" in "warrior in life" isn't really the GW profession "Warrior", I would argue, and linking to the profession seems to be treating the word out of context. -PanSola 09:54, 18 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Are there warriors in GW who are different than that warrior profession? What is the basis for this assumption? The warriors in the Fissure of Woe of the eternal army still use griffon's sweep and healing signet. :) There would have to be a good reason for us to begin to assume that there are "warriors" in the game other than warriors. --Karlos 11:01, 18 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Actually... In Thirsty River, he also uses Cyclone Axe, even though he wields a sword/bow. (I have a screenshot of him using Cyclone Axe while using the bow if anyone's interested.) --Tometheus 22:35, 19 November 2005 (UTC)


 * I am interested. In two things, the picture, and whether or not it is recent. I have never seen him use any fighting skills over the course of the past 5 months. --Karlos 02:15, 20 November 2005 (UTC)


 * This: [[image:ghostlyherocycloneaxe.jpg]] was taken a few days ago in the Tombs. --FireFox 21:24, 28 November 2005 (UTC)


 * I too have seen him use Cyclone Axe, not only in the Tombs, but also in Dunes of Despair and Thirsty River, though I have never seen him use it while he has the eternal bow equipped -- only when he switches to the sword. Don't have a screenshot handy, but I can try to take one if you remain doubtful. &mdash; Stabber (talk) 23:57, 28 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Sorry for the delay, I took a month off to study for graduate exams then went on vacation. I'm just now getting back in the game.  Here's the promised screenshot.. with the caveat that the shot is likely due to delay with my slow computer / network lag / whatever... but as I watched, he switched to bow then did the cyclone axe, but in game logic, he probably switched to bow after doing the cyclone axe.  (However, using cyclone axe while wielding a sword is still 'not right'.)  I saw him do it several times, which is why I took the 'cap.  (The attacker was behind us and everyone had moved forward when the screenshot was taken.   I had to drag him deep into a group to get him to switch to sword and start using Cyclone Axe.)
 * Actually, looking at file dates, I took this shot on 2006.11.20 right after Karlos asked about the date, so that goes to answering the second question. I also have an older one, which was the one I originally referred to.  --Tometheus 17:34, 12 February 2006 (CST)

 * The Guild Lord and Ghostly Hero also now carry axes instead of swords, to justify their use of the skill Cyclone Axe. Game updates/20060323


 * The ones in the desert still use swords. Just checked last week.  I think the update only affected the PvP ones. - 12:24, 26 May 2006 (CDT)

some connections
Turai Ossa's decendent lead the army of Kourna, and Kourna borders on the Crystal Desert. Hmm, maybe C3 will have a Kourna = Good guys and Vabbi = Bad guys split? (since Palowa Joko was from Vabbi too) - 19:51, 3 August 2006 (CDT)
