wow, it's been awhile in SubTerra
Zeviz Nuke and Pave Member # 24	written Sunday, July 31 2005 15:37 Profile Homepage #1 Yes, SubTerra is now free. (No, Radiant isn't giving refunds. :) ) I don't think he reads these boards any more.

Geneforge 3 Tips? in Geneforge Series
Zeviz Nuke and Pave Member # 24	written Sunday, July 31 2005 15:31 Profile Homepage #3 The main warning is that there are only 2 sides now. So don't give pro-servile opinions unless you are certain you'll be joining Latalia. Other than that, the game plays the same way as previous Geneforges, so any strategies you had before still apply. PS Don't forget to pick up Alvan and Greta. Their stats can be improved with their skill points alone, without spending your essense, so they are very useful unless you are playing solo. (However, be aware that they have opposite phylosophies and don't get along with each other very well.)

Does forge require mechanic skill? in Geneforge Series
Zeviz Nuke and Pave Member # 24	written Saturday, July 30 2005 22:01 Profile Homepage #1 You don't need mechanics. You might have to combine 2 or 3 ingredients at a time, instead of just dumping all of them on the forge. (Try combingin stick and gemstone, then adding spores and eye to the product.) PS If you can make other rods, but can't make this one the recipe in the faq might be wrong.

Official Election Final Round Voting in General
Zeviz Nuke and Pave Member # 24	written Thursday, July 28 2005 20:19 Profile Homepage #350 Nobody else wants to show off your beautiful singing voices? :( Or do I have to post my own recording to lower the bar? :) (Some people simply have no musical talent and I am one of them.) Ef, German accent might be similar to Russian because the two countries are relatively close together and used to have a lot of cultural links: Many Russian emperors brought in German officials to organize the government and German officers to run the military. Germans had a reputation for good organization and some Russian emperors tried to copy everything German from governmental and military structures to styles of clothing. There were also some German villages in Russia, populated by Germans whose ancestors were brought in by Peter the Great to help westernize Russia and start its industry. Even Russian capital had a Dutch name "Sant Peterburg". (Its name was changed to Russian "Petrograd" only during World War I.)

Favorite game... in General
Zeviz Nuke and Pave Member # 24	written Thursday, July 28 2005 19:52 Profile Homepage #27 I like chess, but haven't played it much lately. On computer, I like RPGs and Strategy games. (Although I don't like real time games: I don't want to be rushed.) Alorael mentioned Angband. That's a good timewaster (I've discovered it from a similar thread on this board.) Other timewasters in this category include MMORPGs. I can't say that I like them, but they are good when you want to mindlessly waste some time. A game I've greatly enjoyed recently is online version of Werewolf/Mafia party game. It combines some RP with strategy, guesses and excitment of unexpected twists. (The goal is to figure out the secret identities of other players and execute evil characters before they can kill off all innocents.) I might try running this game here, if mods don't object and people seem interested. -------------------- Be careful with a word, as you would with a sword, For it too has the power to kill.

Survival rates for non-junk are probably much lower than you say, because a lot of things disappear with time regardless of quality.

Scent of new-mown hay in Richard White Games
Zeviz Nuke and Pave Member # 24	written Thursday, July 28 2005 14:58 Profile Homepage #85 quote: Originally written by Qeeaqarut: ...—Alorael, who is somewhat baffled by how Bush is so much more successful in the States than abroad. Is the American group psyche so different, or are outsiders predisposed to turn a more critical eye to foreign leaders? Are other countries' news sources more reliable? Bush is big on patriotism and putting the interests of his country before anybody else's interests. Leaders like this obviously tend to be a lot more popular in their own countries than in others. Note that countries where people like Bush are either strongly nationalistic themselves (Poland) or have many common interests with USA (India).

Scent of new-mown hay in Richard White Games
Zeviz Nuke and Pave Member # 24	written Thursday, July 28 2005 08:28 Profile Homepage #76 I've heard an interesting theory: Bush is intentionally trying to project an image of a somewhat dumb, but friendly guy to appeal to average people. One of examples sighted was Bush's use of the mispronounciation nucular (common amond uneducated people), which he couldn't have naturally picked up anywhere, considering that he grew up surrounded by well-educated politicians and businessmen. Whether it's true that Bush's image of stupidity is intentionally cultivated, I think he is much smarter than people give him credit for. He is quite successful at promoting his policies. (Unfortunately I don't agree with many of them, but that's another discussion.) It takes a lot of brains to win re-election as a war-time president when you were the one who started the war and it's going badly.

Things I learned from playing Geneforge in Geneforge Series
Zeviz Nuke and Pave Member # 24	written Wednesday, July 27 2005 20:51 Profile Homepage #5 lol That list was very amuzing. About Servant Minds, they are like computers: very "intelligent" in the areas for which they are designed (running schools, mines, etc.), but very "dumb" in all other areas. And to add a few more items to that list: - You can carry 1000lb, as long as you do it slowly. - However, none of you friends, or pets can carry even a single gemstone, no matter how strong they are. - Normally, it takes years to master magic, shaping and combat technique. However, you can learn them instantly if you pay the right trainers. (Why couldn't your school hire these trainers and save tons of teaching time?) - In the course of a few weeks you and your travelling companions can become stronger and better trained than experienced soldiers, who spent their entire lives training and fighting.

Your voice in this recording has a slightly mysterious quality that I'd expect from Drakey. Stug, you sing very well. ADoS, your new recordings sound better than the previous one. And your singing didn't sound that bad. (At least to my music-incompeten ears.) Morgan's recording vasn't very hard to understand when I turned my speakers all the way up.
