Call me a sentamentalist or pretentious, but Casablanca has always been my favorite movie. Now someone needs to come up with stats for Victor Lazlo.

"It's all in the reflexes"

Why PM the stats instead of posting them here?

Dr. Hannibal the Cannibal Lector

I believe the word you are looking for is Medieval Italian.

The other thing to consider is that both terms are acceptable to use. Pre-reniasaance in particular is often used to refer to things of "higher" culture from that time frame. So in this case it would refer to Italian as spoken by the societies elite.

Wow. So this is how you act when you give someone the "benefit of the doubt," huh? You must be one of those likeable, friendly, internet guys.

Simple fact is he gently corrected something you said (and even posted with an "I beleive" at the start, not "you are wrong, it's..."), and then you implied he was a troll. He took offense. You replied in kind, blah blah blah, and of course your last post was "insult insult insult, but I'm not posting here again or reading your reply."

And this, ladies and gents, is how flame wars get started.

On the simply stupidest of threads to draw such negativity, to be fair about it, too. Here's some pointless, fun, "make a cool character and you guys'll guess who it is" internet horse-crap, and somehow between a mildly condescending forum vet and a defensive-about-it newbie, things get this fucked up. The internet, kids. God bless it.

In an attempt to get this nonsensically amusing and light-hearted thread back on track (and something's very wrong, children, when I'm the voice of reason)... Movie character time (off the top of my head, nowhere near starting stats, some numbers would be absurdly high via SR's system)! This should be an easy one, but I'm bored at work.
