Quote for the Day.

"The collective noun for more than one magician is "a vicious and protracted argument". Draw your own conclusions." - John Lemming.

From a thread on real-world magical practices ("What do mages argue about?"), but certainly applicable to a game, modern setting or otherwise.

You know, I was all set to tease you about this, but then I realized that I think I know the meeting you are referring to.

Yeah, I kind of thought about saying it too.

Reminds me, along similar lines to this post: Did you know that witches don't require a quorum to begin their meetings? Just a quarrel.

That's a good joke- it applies to some groups I've been in.

For what it's worth, it wasn't a comment about any particular group...jjust real-world magical traditions in general. there's always lots to argue about.

Yeah, you know the one I mean.

Although one could include the corellary that White Magic means "a genteel and protracted argument." I think that group at least managed that, most of the time.
