Hyperborem's table matters...

[citizenalex]

I had a world event in a game once that mentionned one of my embassadors had committed a faux-pas in the court of Dis. I lost 2 points of diplomacy for it, which is fine by me, but I was rather curious to find out what he had comitted as a faux-pas...

Did he use the wrong pitchfork when they were serving the roast of paladin with fairy liver demiglaze? Wear red the day after Goat Rape day? I felt rather inept at my ambassodorial hiring skills given that have a member of my diplomatic staff that can make a demon blush

He probably just said "bless you" when someone sneezed, and so frighted all of the little imps away.

 

[Verdian]

Think "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom". Your guy just couldn't bring himself to eat the monkey brains. Cooks have sensitive feelings.

Oh, and a merry GRD to you all!

 

[Lone Wolf]

"Hyperborem" sounds funny. Maybe calling him "Hyperborem" was your ambadassor's faux pas...

 

[Skyre Noktis]

He probably just said "bless you" when someone sneezed, and so frighted all of the little imps away.

Or he said grace before the meal.

 

[cyther]

I suspect he found it too dark and started using sun magic to see what he was eating. (Then threw up)

 

[Seon]

Nah, I suspect that he refused to sell his souls to eternal damnation in Hell. Demons have feelings too, you know.

They’ve recently arrived from some God forsaken place. Can’t say we know too much about them, and whilst I’d normally prefer to send a more experienced representative we’re a bit short on numbers after the latest tit for tat decapitated Ambassadorial exchange with the Clan. Nasty business that…”

[WarKirby]

I'm guessing Hyborem had your ambassador impaled for mispronouncing his name.

He's rather sick of being called "Hyporbem" "Hyborium" "Hyperborem" or any combination thereof.

 

[Daris]

Hyperborem sounds like a Super Robot attack... >.>; I just imagine some hotblooded pilots face going towards the camera while pulling a switch yelling out "HYPAAHHH BOREE!!!" And suddenly drilling their way through their opponent...

Agreed. Can that be applied to the Civilopedia somehow?
