Now supposedly I have been "tagged," though I don't see how I could have been caught in the first place, let alone be hit with a successful touch attack by a low-level NPC.

This is how it's been explained to me:

RULES: You have to answer the question and to put it into your journal. Then you choose 6 other deviants to answer it. Put them into the journal and inform them that they've been tagged.

It seems that the "question" is the rather vague "10 things about my art." That hardly sounds like a question to me. It's not even properly punctuated. Silly humans, can't even master their own bastardized language.

I have concluded that the "tagged" reference relates to the children's game of Dodge the orc. The way in which it is implemented here, however, sounds rather more like the spreading of an infectious disease. I shall play along in an effort to be agreeable, but I shall not participate in propagating this pestilence.

Without further ado, "10 things about my art"
1) I am a patron, not a creator, of the visual and performing arts. My responsibilities do not permit the time necessary to be a serious artist.
2) I dabble in instrumental music, and hope to some day have the time to do more than just dabble.
3) I am a master of the art of ranged combat, using longbows.
4) I am skilled in the art of melee combat, using longswords.
5) I am proficient in the art of combat tactics and skirmishing.
6) I have experience in and am engrossed in study of the art of military strategy.
7) I intend to at least make an attempt at the questionable art of diplomacy.
8) I dabble and plan to improve my abilities in the arcane arts.
9) I am improving my abilities in the art of divine magic.
10) As for the art of prose, I use any spare moment I can find to work on my memoirs. Regretfully, there have been no spare moments for quite some time.
