Sayu delivers[edit]

Anonymous delivers #1314-#1606 from the forums (the last three are mine, and all true stories). Also corrected the numbering.

There's actually 1,001 now, I'll fix the article right nicely. And by fix I mean tack on to the end.

Entry #1849. I will not crowd surf on a swarm of albino crotch-biting weasels... again.

Old additions to list[edit]

I did some cleanup of the list to remove old html tags that appeared at the end of some of the entries. I think that this page was just created originally by doing a copy-paste of the webpage.

I had a copy of one version of the page that was posted at http://www.xanga.com/Wraith_knight. Entries 1-1001 matched the stuff posted here, but there were an additional ~260 values that were not present. I believe these to be some of the additions mentioned as being created when this first became popular. The copy of the webpage that I have has been sitting on my HD for well over a decade now.

I also did some light editing to correct obvious spelling and grammar errors. There are still quite a lot present, especially considering the large number of gaming terms.

An interesting question for future editors: should this page just try to capture the historical document? Or, the historical document + additions made around the time of creation? Or, all of the above, but additional modern additions? Attribution and detangling of a lot of this material is likely very difficult.
