ROFL
I will have to tell my son that. He and I have been frequent in other peoples conversations about the pros and cons of having a unique name. Gandalf is actually my middle name. My first name is Anthony. I grew up with Tony, then started using my middle name about the time I left home. My son on the other hand is Anthony Elrond Mithrandir Parker. We called him Mith when he was growing up. When he hit his teens he started making everyone call him Anthony.
Believe me, DONT saddle your son with Gandalf. Parker would be problems but not nearly as much as Gandalf.

Indeed. Saddling him with "Prophet" would be much more efficent.

But you really can't leave out the "our world's most beloved hero" part.

Wow. Just, wow. I laughed, and I want this for a t-shirt. I want a flag with this thing. Can I get a special first page for my manual with this?

Ask and you shall receive..

You forget one of the things I do all day (or should do more of). I pitch "Anyone can" ideas on the net. Such as, anyone can open a free shop with a paint program. I would have had it up about 2 minutes after you said it but I decided I should ask Illwinter first. Then I whipped one off.
Remember me pushing for slogan contest and Shrapnel putting the winning shirt online for us?

This whole forum is populated by awesome people. I haven't seen a thread like this before, anywhere.
I have tried most things you can do with dominions. I can really appreciate the dedication of those people patient enough to mod, to draw sprites, to gather data, to organize data they or others collected, to tweak balance, to throw around ideas, to always be optimistic about the perfection achievable by the very next patch, to be able to complete MP games, to HOST those games, to complete SP games with huge maps... I'm proud to be part of this community.

Endoperez managed to verbalise exactly what I wanted to say.

Re: Bump in Appreciation of Gandalf Parker
I'm wearing the Illwinter classic thong right now! Sadly, my wife has opted for the Space Empires 5 mumu.

Re: Bump in Appreciation of Gandalf Parker
Sorry that I have been 'away' for a bit, but I must also credit Gandalf Parker for getting me into and fostering my love of Dominions.
Nice merchandise, on the whole. I think my own favorite saying would be
'You think you are wise, Mithrandir, but for all your subtlety you lack wisdom.'
'Maybe, but guess who's about to eat 50 raiding Satyr armies!'
(The joke's a bit dated, but I hope most people catch it.)
As far as names go, I named my son after a very similar character to Olorin (as my personal favorite name for him). In fact, if you read Socrates Meets Jesus by Peter Kreeft, the identification is explicit at the end.
