Now I know why Reborn wanted me to bring him Irn-Bru tomorrow, and perhaps some of the reason behind his woman troubles
As for the Crispin day speech, I like Spike & Giles' version:
"We few, we happy few....."
"We band of buggered!"
And now I feel a B5 intro parody coming on, as is my wont.
It was the dawn of the 16th day of September, ten minutes after the Sunflower Breakfast Club. The Armageddon tournament was a dream given form. Its goal: to prevent another war by creating a place where humans (and Reborn) could work out their differences violently. It's a port of call, home away from home for roleplayers, munchkins, rules lawyers, and wargamers. Humans and Reborn wrapped in two million, five hundred thousand tons of revised rulebooks, all alone in the night. It can be a dangerous place, but it was Lastbesthope for the win. This is the story of the best of the Mongoose tourneys. The year is 2006. The name of the place is Swindon 5.

The Armageddon tournament was our last, best hope for gaming, a self-contained world nine hours long located in neutral territory, a place of commerce and merchandising for a quarter of a million humans (and Reborn), a shining beacon in Swindon, all alone in the rain. It was the dawn of the third age of ACTA, the year the new ruleset came upon us all. This is the story of the best of the Mongoose tourneys. The year is 2006. The name of the place is Swindon 5.

The Armageddon tournament was his last, best hope for victory. He failed. But in the hour of the babylon 5 quiz, he became something greater: our last, best hope for geekdom. The year is 2006. The person - LBH.
