<?php

$text = "I know just what you mean, Tim.\n";
$text = "Why, only the other day I thought to myself "wouldn't it be cool if everyone had to post directly in code."\n";

$sql = "INSERT INTO posts (user, messagebody) VALUES ("mthomason", "$text")";

mysql_query($sql);

?>

Interesting aside, however, I love looking at the subtle nuances between different programmer styles. I would have written that as:

$sql = "INSERT INTO posts (user,messagebody) VALUES ('mthomason','$text')";

*shrug*

Yes, this example sounds just like RuneQuest combat: swords swing until someone gets a bad enough wound, very often to the leg (this is less frequent than in RQII and III, though - legs used to be on 1-8 on the hit location table) and then fights at a big disadvantage until they either get killed or succeed in knocking out an opponent's leg to get back on even terms.

I remember on one occasion, an NPC said to the player characters, "This will cost you your miserable life!" and a player remarked, "He should say 'This will cost you your miserable leg!'"

That's why the party I GM carried around several adjustable peg-legs, handy in that they could slowly adjust the height as the divine regens did their work.

Left leg, always the left leg, I think people in Glorantha have magnetic left legs :?

Left leg, always the left leg.

There's a reason why the most famous tavern in Pavis is called "Gimpy's," after all. Presumably, it was a case of the rules really being written to reflect the game world... :)
