Don't forget me! :P 'Cause it's the Dansariki/Nero spam team. :D

OK, now back on topic before Sentynel pulls out the ban stick.

The odd thing was that although Honorius considered himself free, he still went suicidal against the golem. Weird. :blink:

And since the formula is that most insane people don't know they're insane (with the exception of Bartiforums), I don't think Honorius really did want to be free of the world....right?

Au contraire, dear Nero. His suicide is the greatest expression of free will he present in the book: he choose to do that, and it killed him, as he knew it would.
I don't think it's a question of whether or not he truly wanted to be 'free', especially seeing as how he was.
He could do whatever he wanter, and he did, right up to choosing his time, place, and manner of death.
If you'll notice, any comic books featuring the Joker (or any medium, for that matter), you'll never read him being called 'insane'.
Insane and insanity are legal terms, not medical ones.
Likewise, insane is never seen in the trilogy where Honorious is discussed.

True... :P
Congrats! ;)

I don't think he was insane.....He had just been trapped so long on earth that he finally got fed up of it and decided too kill himself...

Nah, it's contradictory to his thoughts of and happiness with freedom.

Nero, I can write some seriously long posts, idk if that's my longest here.

It's set in WWII, and the Pub stories are the closest thing we there get to fanfic.

Oops, forgot they changes that.
Eh, I was gone from both forums for awhile.
On the topic at hand, it's nice to know people still agree with me.

Sounds familiar Nero?

Yep. Roark's speech at the end of the Fountainhead.

And I quite agree; too bad some people abuse it. :D

Thank you :D
Who would have won, Shubbit or the Orangatang thing?
Honorious would have beat them both.

Not really. Didn't he do it because of what the golems had done to Gladstone's army back in Prague? A stupid thing to die for... but that was the impression that I had.

Close to what I said.
Honorious pprobably got along with Paterknife, Gladstone's other personal Afrit.
Seeing as how he's not mentioned other than by that poor flaming imp in the Intro to GE, one can assume that he was killed by the Golems, something Honorious probably remembered.
