"King Alexander had also a very remarkable horse; it was called Bucephalus, either on account of the fierceness of its aspect, or because it had the figure of a bull's head marked on its shoulder. It is said, that he was struck with its beauty when he was only a boy, and that it was purchased from the stud of Philonicus, the Pharsalian, for thirteen talents. When it was equipped with the royal trappings, it would suffer no one except Alexander to mount it, although at other times it would allow any one to do so. A memorable circumstance connected with it in battle is recorded of this horse; it is said that when it was wounded in the attack upon Thebes, it would not allow Alexander to mount any other horse." -- Pliny
Thread Grading I'd like to stay on top of my list of threads to grade, so I'm going to do things a slight bit different. If you are absolutely positive that I am the one you will be asking to grade your thread, please let me know when you start the thread. This way I can read the thread and take notes as you go, and it won't take me as long to grade when you're finished, because I'll be keeping up with it the whole time. You can do this by sending me a PM and asking me to keep an eye on the thread. When you're making a request to have a thread graded, please provide me with a link to the thread, the names of the characters involved, and a timestamp. Optional information that you can include is: some skills you might want XP in, specific lore you may want, a summary, and anything else you feel is pertinent.
Modded Threads I am currently not accepting requests for modded threads. Once I've gotten the hang of grading and such, I will begin accepting a limited number of requests for modded threads until I can get used to that as well. |
