    'Nothing is true, everything is permitted.' is merely an observation of the nature of reality. To say that nothing is true, is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say that everything is permitted, is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.

    Thanks everyone.

    However I must admit, that the Symposium seems quieter than the rest of the forums.

    I'm supposing everybody heads to the Themia Devia instead?

    Ah hello, Thanatos! I see that you are finally patronized, and by Scorch too! Scorch is the one who patronized me a week ago, he's a very nice person too.

    Eh? What? Thanatos here? Why the hell is Scorch his patron?

    I tried to patronise him 2 months ago, and the CdeC denied it. And now he's here and Scorch is his patron. WTF?

    After 2 months many things might have changed.

    The only thing that changed is that a patronising-fanatism has risen!

    Man, I wanted to patronise some people, but I wanted to wait some time and watch them to make sure they deserve it - I guess I can't do that anymore, if I don't want them to be "Stolen" too

    I would like to see the Symposium revived, but I can never be sure what kind of threads to open. Maybe you can do this dirty work for me?

    Well, I've always thought of the Symposium as something of a mature part of the forum, where we citizens could argue and debate more extensively.
    I just don't know how to get anything started though!

    Welcome!
    And a very big thank you to you too, Lord Rahl. I'm very much obliged!

    Thanks for all the nice responses, everyone. I never knew I was that well known on the forums! This is something of a shock to me!

    Well I passed my 3 month mark and wanted to do some patronisation stuff, so I did. Lucius already made it and Thanatos did as well. 2/2 for me!
