Brett, I finally figured out why my graphics were low-quality. GIFs are a maximum of 256 colors!

I'll have to send them to you as bitmaps from now on, and you'll have to convert them to GIFs. Sorry to be a nuisance, but otherwise, the graphics are screwed up.
Don't use JPEG. Jpeg is a lossy format, meaning that the images will lose quality every time you save them. At such small sizes it will also be hell for sharpness. It will also render white squares to off white, making transparency in the engine not work.
256 colours in itself is not a problem - nearly all of the avernum graphics are 256 colours.

What you need to make sure is that is the right 256 colours that are used. To do this, convert the image before saving it as gif. Hopefully you will get a message box asking about colours - get it to create an "optimised pallete". This should mean that no colour detail is lost, as well as the shape being preserved, which is much better than JPEG.

You missed out an apostrophe SM, I demand you correct it.

My birthday is 10 Jan, which makes me a goat type creature.

Final Fantasy 10 had turn based combat.
I don't see what Jeff being arrogant when it comes to BoE/A has to do with him making 3D games.
Besides, if he did try to make a 3D game, the graphics would most probably be abysmal, which would kind of defeat the point, and gameplay would probably be neglected.

Your Type is
INFP
Introverted Intuitive Feeling Perceiving
Strength of the preferences %
11 33 44 56

Qualitative analysis of your type formula
 You are:

* slightly expressed introvert
* moderately expressed intuitive personality
* moderately expressed feeling personality
* moderately expressed perceiving personality

Hmm, introverted seems to be a popular choice. What would be interesting, although incrediblly boring, would be to see if there is a relationship between personality and politics (like from the political compass).

The main strategic use of summons is as cannon fodder or to attck people (although the latter tends to become less useful). Making summons give you experience adds an extra incentive to use them, but adds no depth to current tactics using them, and creates no new tactical ways of using them.

I wont take up space. Bandwidth, maybe, but I don't really understand what bandwidth really is, so I don't know.

Er, I looked it up in a dictionary. Failing to find the German for 'steam-roller operator', which, I have on good authority, is very long, I settled for the next longest I could find without spending as long as a piece of string.

If you think about Jewish in the sense of the race Jewish, rather than the religion.
Anyway, most Christians nowadays would be non-Jewish, or Gentiles.

Why should you get experience (think abbout what that actually means) for something else killing things. Experience comes from practice, ie. killing things yourself.
It would make sense to get experience from actually summoning things, but that obviously wouldn't work in a game, and especially not in Avernum.

I know you apologised for something you said before, but you didn't actually apologise for saying he was brainwashed etc.
Anyway, saying that you've already apologised is good enough as an apology.
