"Lethality" while an example of proper spelling lacks a certain edgy emphasis.  Adding the H just makes it look lethargic. :old:
When looking for a handle with some semblance of meaning I thought about that little exchange with the General. Having taken some latin myself I had to wonder if perhaps the general had as well. ("Letality" was not the only latin compound he used, but definitely the coolest- had to be there)

lethal- +
(Latin: deadly, mortal)

From Latin letalis, "deadly, fatal"; from letum, "death".

One could make the case that the inclusion of the letter H is farther from the original spelling eh? 
Stay thirsty my friends.  :cheers:

Me likee. I had to take some latin in Middle School.

This is roughly the second time I've enjoyed latin.

The first time: It came in handy when I had to decode, for several friends, the slightly tricky translation of the Carlsberg Elephant label: "Laboremus pro patria". The maker had a little sense of humor, given the older meaning of the verb...

Either way, you pass. Had I known you were basing off the latin root, I'd've granted carte blanche (didn't even think to check it).

=LETALITY!= is not to be. Canx. Finito. Caput. Wasted drama. Curtains.
There was a little bit of a nucleus forming...BUT two weeks in still zero hard commits out of the gate. Nobody wanted to be the first because everybody wanted to "wait and see." Initially I was prepared to take the time to "get it right" but ultimately I have not afforded that time and it is likely for the best.

Ze Frau was concerned I'd get too competitive/spend more time online even after I wasn't having fun as a Sq CO. She's right, I wouldn't have stopped till I had forged the best base-busting squad in the game. I already beginning to put "work" into a game and it's not like I don't have a full plate outside cartoon world. (Teeter...)

Tonight Rogent has recruited me back to POTW.  (He recruited me when I was just starting AH) After three yrs we caught up a bit and history has repeated itself. Pleasant deja vu. I did enjoy my time with the swine and ultimately the game is supposed to be about fun and not brutal 100% pinpoint efficiency.  No training relative newbs, no SOPs, no organizing XYZ or building webpages... I have succumbed! I began AH in mud and to mud I shall return...  Letality! was/is a great concept with a great backstory. Alas, a humble spear carrying Pig I shall be in cartoonland, but I look forward to it. :)

Sincere apologies for the whiplash to gents "on the fence" and thanks again to the well-wishers esp The Loose Deuce and The Few!

With all respect due to The Few and just basing this on what I have seen, and this not intended as bashing, in their way of playing; POTW is about having fun rather than scores. But still good fights when our paths cross

Now I'm curious as to what Midway did or did not do to so endear himself to you all. It can't have had much to do with this bbs, given the source's dearth of posts.
