I don't think anybody knows. You'll have to establish something for us. (Unless, of course, it's revealed at the end of E/A3, which I haven't seen yet.) Lots of Exile history has been established by designers. Heck, look at AtGallows, or Nephil's Gambit (minor, I know, but it's a great scenario, anyway), and stuff like that. -------------------- "Oh, North Wind, why frighten others?

Hmmm?now that I think about it, there probably were some pot parties and the like involved in the whole ordeal. EDIT: That quote from Hitchhiker reminds me of Saul, Farmer Giles of Ham, and many other such things.

At higher levels in BoE, I've been basically just using magic to beef up my 2.5 main fighters and then using my magi as clean-up/backup singers. I just started on Farmhands!!! today, and have to adjust from months of playing in this fashion, and coping with the loss of security that you get from strong parties. I think it's a positive thing, changing your playing style every now and then. -------------------- "Oh, North Wind, why frighten others? In Nature's family all are brothers.

quote:I once went to Desp. Then I realized that my very livelihood and conscience were at risk, and that half the power on the Spidweb boards was given to people closely associated with it, and I shyed away, clinging only to what was left of the BoE Monster Arena. While clinging, my soul traveled between the realms of online sanity, and I found myself returning again and again to Desp, like an addiction, till I finally stumbled on the Lyceum ("So that's where everybody went?"). I now find many answers to life's questions there, as well as the ethics, sanity, and livelihood that I almost lost at Desp. People there are thugs. Well, most of them. Alec's all cuddly. Like a teddy bear. ![]() EDIT: Oh, and Desp isn't exactly a spinoff, I think it would still come into existance without Spidweb. EDITX2 (maybe I should put more thought into this):And if I really wanted people to join GALACTICA (hint hint) I would direct people to my homepage, which doesn't work right now, and nobody knows about because I'm too shy to advertise, because it doesn't have anything worth advertising, so it isn't really worth it.

Speaking of the originals (yes, I'm aware that there are several topics on this already, but I'm not supposed to un-dead topics, and this isn't starting a new one, anyway), does anybody have the original E1 graphics? I've got E2, and I've done some pretty neat things with them, and they're a lot like E1, but I just want to get my hands on them and compare. -------------------- "Oh, North Wind, why frighten others?

I realize that I only control the less than / equal to6 people, but sometimes, like in Falling Stars, I get so worked up that I'm turning the tide, winning the battle, when WHAM! My cause is defeated. It's almost like arguing against Alec. :P EDIT: And I realize that playing the losing side is still worth it, simply for the experience and realization of what it's like to lose.

You know, Jeff could have been trying to convey a sense of what the Nephilim are really like, for those who know what the Nephilim of the Bible were. Perhaps it's referring to the demon-worship seen in Exile. And we don't know if the Nephilim are self-named or cruelly named by the Empire. -------------------- I want my Desert Plah back, (Drakey, check your PM's.) "Oh, North Wind, why frighten others?

Exactly, as I've stated earlier, thousands of schools are open, as well as secondary schools, clinics, and hospitals. Thousands of kilometers of irrigation canals are now bringing water to farms everywhere, helping to feed Iraqi people. I'd sacrifice myself to a roadside bomb in order to feed someone else, really. I think that answers the question. [ Friday, February 06, 2004 15:40: Message edited by: Desert Plah ] -------------------- I want my Desert Plah back, (Drakey, check your PM's.)

Was there a point to this topic, according to the original post? Or has it been hijacked? Oh, wait, there is a question there. Answer: Because it's too late to pull out, and if we pull out now, or in the near future, Iraq won't get pregnant with the seeds of Americanization, which is actually slightly better than their former state.

1. Alec, you're such a pessimist, and you always assume you're right. Many of these can be viewed as good or bad things, depending on how you feel about the world. I feel sorry for you in your case. 2. I don't claim that this is all a result of Bushie. 3. You always assume you're right. 4. When I see reports of tens of thousands of people dying of starvation in Iraq, I might accept a few of these. 5. You always assume that you're right. 6. We'll have to wait 50-60 years to find out if your predictions will come true.
