Hi everyone! Some of you were thinking about registering as other Blackadder characters, so I was wondering if this is going to happen. It would be quite fun to get a little Blackadder RPing going.
Also, I've got a little bit of a puzzle with my character. Baldrick is pretty much the same character in Blackadder series 2, 3, and 4 - I've got 3 icons, one for each of his incarnations. (Series 1 characterisations are rather different, and series 1 is not very well known (or very good!) anyway.) However, this presents a problem; for those unfamiliar with Blackadder, Series 2 takes place in the late 16th century, Series 3 in the late 18th, Series 4 in 1917. So the 3 Baldricks are actually different people, though they have as similar as possible characterisations. So when I'm interacting with other characters, it makes it hard to answer questions like "what do you do for a living?" - Balrdick 2 is Blackadder's servant, Baldrick 3 is the Prince Regent's servant, and Baldrick 4 is a Private in the British Army.
I'm thinking that the best way round this conundrum would be if I were to play one Baldrick at a time, using the icons to differentiate. Baldrick would appear in the bar as, say Private Baldrick from Series 4, interact, then leave, and come back the next day as a different Baldrick. But if any other mun has similar issues with their character, advice is very welcome!
(And by the way - I hope this isn't a question that gets asked every 2 days, thus annoying everyone - where does the suffix -mun come from?)

I think your way around the incarnation issue sounds like a good one, and I'd be more than happy to go along with it (I'm probably most attached to Series 3 Blackadder, but the others are pretty cool too).
Oh, and "mun", I think, is short for "mundane". :)

YES.
THAT WOULD ROCK.
I SHOULD TURN OFF MY CAPS LOCK KEY NOW.
