Did anyone else read that title and think that this had something to do with Taiwan?

nope, I thought "Yay, Fomorians," because they always seem to get left out.

Bear - are the fair folk knocking around as well then or can I have fun playing the bogeyman with the general population?

yes, we're the heroes as we need to protect those regular humans from those child stealing bastards, and yes we have the powers and the appearance of the Celt boogymen still.

so last I checked: as the "Bogeymen" we get nature related powers, enhanced fishing skills, skill with nets and spears in combat, superhuman strength and stature, ability to manipulate storms and shrouding fog, ability to shrink down to human size and appearance, the ability to breath water.

No. Should I have? Is there some sort of hidden association between Fomoire and Taiwan that I'm missing? Did you read "Fomoria" as "Formosa?" :lol:

Have a very nice day.

What use are enhanced fishing skills to me? I hate fish. I'm sitting this one out until the next universe reset.

I would have thought you loved fish Bats.

After all, just give a few to Catwoman.....
I've been asked why I still follow a few of the people I know on Facebook with 'interesting political habits and view points'.

It's so when they comment on or approve of something, I know what pages to block/what not to vote for.

well the Fomorians are a sea faring Piritical race, and when not eating fish, deer and other game, they turn to humanitarian pursits when hungry. note as per being the bogeymen (unless your Laugh or CuCulain and thus part Fomorian as well as part Tauth De Daunan) Fomorians can see fine in total darkness and in obscuring fog, this is part of their hunting technique (modern versions can make quite skillful serial killers as even CCTV cameras don't do to well on can't see ten feet in front of you fogged in nights....

I have more money than the rest of humanity combined, to the point where I might have more money than the rest of humanity including myself. If I want to feed Selina fish, that's what restaurants are for.
