I played as a rebel agent -- it was much more fun to have my agent dragging a Santa-sized sack of goodies through the keep, in fight mode with 2AP per turn, with my co-agent hurling around searers to cover my overloaded heiny. I could practically hear hur grunting with the effort...

Oops -- I'd missed that conversation.

Orois Blaze bug? in Geneforge Series
Warrior
Member # 1668

Not sure if it's a bug or my bad luck --

I'd been tasked to go and dispatch Orois Blaze, and did so (ok, I told O.B. that I'd deal with him fairly, and then bought his help in augmenting myself before doing the deed).

After returning to gain my reward for killing this drakon, I get the same text that I have to go and kill him.

He's *very* dead.

Do I simply not get the reward because I told O.B. I wouldn't kill him? Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks, Dolphin! I can't believe that I forgot to go back to that boat! *smaking myself in the forehead*

I'm not 100% sure exactly where the 2 access bracelets were, but they were both in the areas preceding the geneforge -- both dropped by golems I think?

I've got both of the access bracelets mentioned in other subjects...but I can't actually find the darn place!!

I'm sure that I'm missing something...

I just got assigned my 'task' as a rebel to go back and kill ol' whassisface on Dhonai, but haven't gotten around to doing so yet...I'm not sure if perhaps this influences the availability of this most wonderful-sounding vacation spot?

New Pope in Geneforge Series
Warrior

Is there any better job in the world than to be Pope? Granted, I'm not Catholic, but c'mon -- ultimate authority, complete command over a legion of less enlightened or divine beings, the divine right to travel the globe telling people what to do....WAIT! The Pope is a Shaper!!!

Does that make the conclave the Shaper Council?

Does that make Protestants Takers?

Hmm....

Middle of the road viewpoint in Geneforge Series
Warrior
Member # 1668
Profile #36
I'm similarly a bit uneasy with the stance I've taken. I recognize that there's value in seeing how polarizing debates of freedom and free will can be, but the lack of a middle ground leaves me (and my Agent) making decisions that I can't say I'm proud of. I've decided that, as I've been compelled to take a stand, I'm playing as a rebel this time through, hoping that the Drakons have a long-term vision that I lack the creativity to appreciate. But I'm already looking forward to my next game as a purely loyal Shaper -- not that I expect that moral pole to any more accurately reflect my beliefs...

Is there an island-hopping cheat code? in Geneforge Series
Warrior
Member # 1668
Profile #1
I believe the answer to this is "no."
As to the skipping from island to island, this has been talked about in another thread -- to paraphrase, it's a trade-off between the nice realism of actually traveling from island to island and preseving this as a difference between G3 and its predecessors (why else have it be island-based?) and the inconvenience of having to traipse across the island every time you want to return to earlier isles.
Personally, I like the preservation of the island 'feel' -- it only takes a minute or two of your life to cross back, and you don't have to do it with any great frequency.

Is anyone else more than a little annoyed by the searer upgrade for Greta? Sure, I like spreading acid around as much as the next battle-hungry Agent, but this is really messing up my strategy. I've been enjoying the hit-n-daze approach so far, but the lingering effects of Greta's searer blasts keeps this from being completely successful...

Your 'cookbook' is wonderful!
A more basic question: Stones such as runed rubies, charging stones, etc. -- can they simply be used with swords, shields, etc. to power them up?...

2 things about your post:

1) What was the easter egg in GF2 for accomplishing this Herculean feat?

2) Do you, um, have a lot of free time?...

Drakey -- you're *SUCH* a tease!!

C'mon, be a sport...label it a spoiler for all those (more restrained) Geneforge fans who want to wait...

How are we expected to sit here and take it? March 28th -- not much left of the month before Jeff misses his projected relief month. You could placate the angry hoards with just a tiny taste of what we've got coming!

Have mercy! (trying to keep my Geneforge-withdrawal-induced tremor from impairing my typing...)

I guess that's why I had it under the rubric of "pet peeve" as opposed to "typo" or "error". I know that both are right, but heck, what ever happened to people using the proper, Latin derivations.

My blessed Latin teacher would be rolling around in her grave, but she's still alive, living on the Amalfi coast with her grandchildren...

Terri Schiavo in General

As an ICU physician, and having read what's out there to read on the subject [for any interested and have access, there is an excellent review of the case from a medical, legal, and ethical perspective in the New England Journal of Medicine], there is no doubt that this woman is in a permanent vegetative state.

It's interesting that the Republicans (at least U.S. Senate and Florida Gov.) have taken up this fight:

1) For the party historically dedicated to states' rights, the attempt to supervene when the State decision goes against personal religious/philosophical grounds is curious at best.

2) For the party actively holidng up marriage as the cornerstone of the family unit, if not the nation itself, to the point of wishing it forbid to same-sex couples, it's curious that they want to strip the husband of his surrogate role in this individual case.

I suspect I may be alone on this one....

But does anyone out there flinch every time they open up the Spiderweb homepage, to see in large print on the left-hand side: "Forums".

Shouldn't it be "Fora"?
