hahahaha, that's one of my old tag-lines.

if someone has to tell you to trust them, that is in fact, the last person on eartn you should be giving your trust to.

no, it's actually almost a universal truth.

(and thoes are pretty rare)

but here's why:

if you DO trust someone, they don't need to ask for your trust, it's already there.

if you DO trust someone, and they have to ask for their own reasons, then there is a reason in there somewhere, perhaps in their own mind; why you wouldn't trust them. perhaps a reason you don't know.

if you don't trust someone, and they are trying to talk you into an activity or idea you don't want to do, and the only way they can think to get you into it is for them to somehow MAKE you trust them... then ther's an alterier motive. there's got to be a reason for their enthusasm, a reason why they need your trust, and even if that reason IS altruistic, really; you sould proceed cauciously, if at all.

or, if you don't trust someone, and they don't need your trust to go forward, they can tell you as much. if it's not necessary, you wouldn't ask for it.

if you are driving down the road,and you run out of gas, and someone else pulls over do you ask them for a cup of sugar? no, because you don't need it. and if they didn't give you a cup of sugar, would you still get a ride from them to the gas-station?
the sugar isn't needed. if the trust isn't needed, they wouldn't ask for it.

if you find yourself on the flip side of that argument, asking for trust won't get you anywhere. if anything, it'll just make the people involved less likely to trust you. what you should ask for, is for the people in question to trust themselves, and to make a command decision if they want to be involved or not. if they decide not to trust you, at least you offered to help. some times people need to make their own mistakes, and learn from it.

so, anyways, don't trust me on this: listen to the logic and trust yourself.

at any rate, I can't see a situation where it WOULD be a good idea to trust someone who says: "trust me"
you may have to go allong with them if the situation warrants it, but I'd suggest going cauciously, if at all.

More Static Advice, From decker M, AKA Duck.

ED's NOTE: The opinion's expressed here are not necessarily the views of sane individuals anywhere. As a matter of fact we suggest you take everything with a grain of salt.
(Actually I recommend several grains of salt... and the obligatory lick of lime and shot of Tequila!... and who is the 'ED' person anyway?
Current Commentary

We all know the important axioms...
Never make a deal with a dragon,
Never trust an elf...

These are all well known and well proven rules to follow, and the reasons are obvious and numerous. But what about some of the lesser known rules? What about the ones we've learned the hard way? Are they any less important?

So-- putting my years of experience to use I will share with you the other great axioms of the awakened world.

NEVER polka with a Troll
(unless the floor is reinforced and even then err on the side of caution) Slam dancing is probably a bad idea as well, and unless you're a glutton for punishment, lay off the mosh pit.

Know your blood type
Trust me, you live longer this way. If you're prone to violence and often in need of transfusions, consider getting it tattooed to your chest.

Make sure at least one team member has either the same blood type or is a universal donor.

When hiring a mage to back you up, make sure he/she knows at least one healing spell. Believe me, this is not the sort of thing you want to find out in the middle of a ‘situation'

You can never have too much ammo.

Get rich quick schemes really do work -
if you're the one selling the scheme.
(There's a reason its called a scheme)

The food they serve in "Ork restaurants" is a joke to be used on tourists.
Trust me, if you ever get a good home cooked "Ork Meal" its going to look a lot more like meatloaf than something you pulled out from under a dead log.

No matter what people tell you, dragons do have a sense of humor.
You just won't get it. Mainly because you, and what happens to you is what we would call the punch line, but also because well- they're dragons.

Five letters to always keep in mind when doing business with anybody in the awakened world - SETUP.
It usually is, and you're usually the one being setup.

We all know not to pick fights with things that are bigger than we are, that goes without saying.
What I'm telling you is- you can't tell who's bigger than you are until they thoroughly trounce you.
Shape shifters can appear smaller, bugs have friends and magic is the great equalizer.

You can't win, you can't get even and now more than ever- you can't get out of the game.

And so I leave you until the next time. Remember that everybody's your friend when you're buying and nobody likes soggy drinks. (And trust me about the Troll)

Was it just keyed for his voice? Or could any of us say the 'catchphrase'?

Would we even know it? Seeing as how he would have to say it out loud to let us know what it was?

well, it may not be keyed to his voice, but you wouldn't know about it. I was just pointing out that if you really wanted it all fixed in a hurry you should talk him into fixing it.
just manually shutting off the last two halon valves, and having the hearth spirit pull out the gas is a good way to go too though.
perhaps then, you'll have some time to do actuall hacking before the guards breach the door.

Yeah, I'm hoping we won't suffocate before they have time to kill us. ;D

Actually, I'm not worried about that part. I think we'll pull everyone out of the room, and look like heroes for half a second before they realize we're not supposed to be there.

THEN I'll be worried. ;D

If your plan involves moving a body, make sure someone in the group has a van or at least a car with a trunk.
