I've always found the desire for Exile 4 very peculiar. Although I can understand the sentiment behind it, it's a bit like asking them to make an optional version of Age of Empires III: Age of Mortar Shells using the engine behind Atari's Adventure.

Exactly, Spring. Good example. Yes, it's usually at this point that people come in and add replies that are written in Japanese, or blather on and on about Terry Riley. Posts: 907 | Registered: Monday, July 15 2002 07:00 |

Whenever you visit the mainpage of a forum — whether it be General, Tech Support, or Nethergate — there's a list of names at the top, in the upper lefthand corner, where it says "Moderated by:". Only these users can lock, move, or delete topics or polls or individual posts. The only "fancy" thing you can do is go back and edit one of your own posts. For anything else, you have to ask one of these moderators. However, some topics are closed because they get out of hand (filled with spammy nonsense or offensive material) or drastically outlive their usefulness (assuming they had any to begin with). In such cases the moderators use their own judgment, and don't require any kind of permission from the person who started the topic. You can, however, ask them to lock a topic or poll that you started, if you do something like create the poll incorrectly (like what happened with your "Which goblin graphic?" poll).

I like the varieties of "regular" goblins. They look dirtier than the others somehow, which all good goblins should be. Maybe it's those yellow tunics and misshapen clubs which make them mangier? Posts: 907 | Registered: Monday, July 15 2002 07:00 |

I don't think so. The nice thing about Galactic Core is that you don't need any. If you find yourself loosing that game… In that case, living without cheat codes is the least of your worries.

I'd go back in time to the 13th century so I could see Baghdad being properly destroyed. Or Kiev. I'd settle for Kiev if the time machine flight to Baghdad is filled up. I'd just like to see the Mongols in action and getting really riled up. Posts: 907 | Registered: Monday, July 15 2002 07:00 |

What the hell are you people talking about? EDIT: Oh. Okay. I just figured it out. You're mocking me. Well, my reply to that is: quote:[/b] —————————— quote:[/b] —————————— Seriously, though, I really do talk like this. You'd discover that for yourself if you ever had the opportunity to meet me in person. I read too much. Besides, I've always felt that elaborate speech full of colorful expressions and pleasant words is far more interesting than cobbling together a sentence with just the bare bones necessary to communicate your thoughts. English is such a marvellous language; it's a crime we don't use it to its fullest potential.

A public private message. Interesting. Just chalk it up as another unintended use of General, I suppose. Very versatile forum, this. By the way, who the heck is muesli and where the heck did he go and what the heck is forgiven? If you'll excuse the crass series of inquiries into what is apparently a private matter.

I've always loved the Avernum graphics. And I've never had trouble telling the monsters apart. I like smaller graphics, for one thing, less smooth and less hyper-realistic. Leaves more to the imagination, I think. I like feeling that I'm looking at a color drawing rather than a bunch of computer graphics. I guess I'm just terribly old-fashioned. And the elevation in Avernum was one of its finest points. I hate the flatness of Geneforge. Posts: 907 | Registered: Monday, July 15 2002 07:00 |

Yes, I often think people come down too hard on spelling mistakes. As long as you don't have to struggle to understand the person, why torment them? Yes, they should try to improve their spelling, and they're probably already aware of this. Suffice to say, I'm sorry, but Cthulhu must get his din-dins. Otherwise he gets cranky. :P Posts: 907 | Registered: Monday, July 15 2002 07:00 |

Kells was the medieval equivalent of breakfast cereal. Hence modern-day Kellogg's, named in honor of a well-respected ancient Irish concoction of wheat and barley, ground together into dry, hard little pellets. The marshmallow snakes were removed from the product some time in the 5th century. Very popular amongst the ecclesiastical community. Dinosaurs go well on cereal boxes. Although the Welsh version of Kells always had dragons on the box. [ Tuesday, November 15, 2005 17:52: Message edited by: Icshi ] Posts: 907 | Registered: Monday, July 15 2002 07:00 |

Very illuminating, that. I imagine that's what the Book of Kells would look like if they turned it into a dinosaur comic. Posts: 907 | Registered: Monday, July 15 2002 07:00 |

Nifty. That sounds like a very nice blend of the two movement systems. I prefer the classic Avernum system of movement, but always rather liked being able to click a destination and having the person move there without me baby-stepping him. I look forward to using it when Avernum 4 comes out. Posts: 907 | Registered: Monday, July 15 2002 07:00 |

Why, I remember the days when "halo" meant a little circle of light above a saint's or angel's head. And now, apparently, there are three of them. I suppose you could call them a Trinity of Haloes. Not even St. Peter had that many. Posts: 907 | Registered: Monday, July 15 2002 07:00 |
