Drakey, your singing is fun, but I expected a booming voice of authority. :P ADoS sounds pretty much the way I expected he would sound. Slp, I could barely hear your recording even after turning up volume. Maybe your microphone volume needs to be adjusted.

Scenario recommendations? in Blades of Exile
Zeviz Nuke and Pave Member # 24	written Tuesday, July 26 2005 20:51 Profile Homepage #13 Thanks to everybody for your suggestions. I've just finished Emulations and it was perfect for the kind of scenarios I currently like. Now I'll try the next things on suggestions list. PS About puzzles in scenarios, they are good if they feel natural and can be solved quickly. However, if I have to waste hours trying possible combinations and/or go online looking for solutions, it breaks the atmosphere of the scenario.

Zeviz Nuke and Pave Member # 24	written Monday, July 25 2005 21:38 Profile Homepage #283 I came to US at 13, but I am not very good with languages. Also, my accents fluctuates based on whom I regularly talk to. I currently have many Russian coworkers, so my accent has gotten worse than it was when I was in college. As for pronounciation of Zeviz, the first vovel is a Russian sound half way between "e" in "pet" and "i" in "pit". I guess it might sound like "i" sound to you, but it's actually one of the sounds that makes my accent sound so weird. Just pronounce that sound as an "e" in "pet" to get as close as you can get to my pronounciation without making your entire speech sound like mine. :) [ Monday, July 25, 2005 21:43: Message edited by: Zeviz ] -------------------- Be careful with a word, as you would with a sword, For it too has the power to kill.

One is a boring example of stereotypical Russian accent. Another, is my attempt to produce a more fun accent sameple, while making this post relevant to the original topic of this thread by allowing people to truly appreciate EVOL Zeviz's speeches, by reading a part of one of them with the appropriate accent. I just think "my comrades" sounds much better when pronounced by a Russian. :) (Unfortunately, I wasn't able to finish that piece with a straight face.) EDIT This modem is very slow.

Leadership, Mechanics, Luck in Geneforge Series
Zeviz Nuke and Pave Member # 24	written Monday, July 25 2005 15:45 Profile Homepage #2 About Luck, I always like to get a few points just in case. It improves your armor and resistances by 1% in addition to supposedly increasing chances of getting good loot from dead monsters, so it's worth it to buy a few points just for that. About leadership, the common recommendation is to have 10 on Dhonal's Island. The earlier you'll get it to 10, the more often you'll get a chance to use it. Later, you might need even more, but I don't think it's as helpful later in the game. For Mechanics, try to get 10 (with items) before leaving first island. In the end of the game, you might need 20 (with items), but you can survive with less. -------------------- Be careful with a word, as you would with a sword, For it too has the power to kill.

(People from southern climates are more likely to have darker hair.) I was just saying that hair color is not a good indicator for making generalizations about a person. PS I've seen some people with very dark skin and light hair, but that hair might have been artificially colored, so I don't know.

PS Some people said that they want to be professional students, but that's a lifestyle, rather than a job. :) I know a guy who is a 13th!!! year grad student. He has a part time job and spends the rest of his time having fun and [not]working on his dissertation. Ben, you can easily do all 3 simultaneously, because most astronomers are college professors and they need to know programming for processing data they get from telescopes.

(Proud is an adjective. Proudly is the corresponding adverb.) Ben, any statement general enough to talk about all people with a certain hair color would have to be false.

I could see his posts being pronounced with that voice. As for impressions accents make, I think British accent makes the speaker sound more educated.

Were we prepared? in General
Zeviz Nuke and Pave Member # 24	written Friday, July 22 2005 15:30 Profile Homepage #111 Kel, I have a whole textbook about history and the Hebrew Bible, so I can look up details for you when I get home. If I remember correctly, various books of it supposedly were compiled between 700BC and 200BC. However, there were different versions (based on local variations in legends) in different regions and the Torah as we have it today became the only authorized version only with the start of rabinic Jewdaism in 1st century AD. PS to clarify what Alorael said, all branches of Jewdaism hold Tanach (Old Testament) as the sourse of all their laws. However, interpretations differ widely and you can get anything from ultra-Orthodox who don't use electricity on Saturday to Reconstructionists who allow gay marriage all based on different interpretation of the same text. EDIT: Here is the quote from the textbook. I think this is what you were asking about: quote: The literary history of the Hebrew Bible is divisible into three partially overlapping phases: 1. The stage of the formation of the separate literary units, oral and written, that eventually became a part of the Hebrew Bible, from about 1200 B.C.E. to 100 B.C.E. 2. The stage of the final formation of the Hebrew Bible as an authoritative collection of writing in three parts (Law, Prophets, Writings), beginning ca. 400 B.C.E. with the Law as the kernel, later supplemented by the Prophets, and culminating ca. 90 C.E. with delimitation of the boundaries of the Writings. 3. The stage of the preservation and transmission of the Hebrew Bible, both in the original tongue and in translations into other languages, which involved two phases: a. The period when the finalization of the contents of the Hebrew Bible was still in process, ca. 400 B.C.E. to 90 C.E. b. The period when the Hebrew Bible had reached definitive form, from 90 C.E. to the present. If you want to read the whole book, it's "The Hebrew Bible, A Socio-Literary Introduction" by Norman K. Gottwald. PS According to this book, Dead Sea scrolls were written during the period from 150 B.C.E. to 70 C.E.

Zeviz Nuke and Pave Member # 24	written Friday, July 22 2005 15:08 Profile Homepage #1 Here is how I did it: 1. Make as many Thahds as you have space for. 2. Use Speed Spores, Bless group, etc. 3. Send one of your Thahds towards him, while the rest of your group stands back and hits him with ranged attacks. 4. Repeat step 3 until you run out of thahds. 5. Close in for the kill and hope that you can finish him this round. Or you could simply come back later, when you are stronger. -------------------- Be careful with a word, as you would with a sword, For it too has the power to kill.
