What are you talking about? Alamut is exactly what you are referencing. As the books says, exactly, "Nothing is True, Everything is Permitted."

Alamut was an extremely popular book, having been translated into over a dozen languages, and has been the most direct inspiration for popular games, such as Secrets of Alamut.

And Assassin's Creed, which is what Br3ad is referencing. "Nothing is true, everything is permitted" is a phrase that pops up repeatedly in the games.

No, I'm still right. You can't reference Assassin's Creed without referencing Alamut, as it was taken from the book. It would be like saying a line from an ES game, and saying you're referencing the UESP because we have that line on the site. You're still referencing the game.

So what analogy describes Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed forum's relationship to Alamut?
