Do you, and/or anybody else who has been taking notes, want to combine our notes and make one faq/walkthrough? I am making lists of locations of the following: canisters, books, trainers (including costs and required alignments), special items, charms, some other powerful items. I am also writing down my solutions to areas I find particularly tricky. I've just finished Harmony Island, so it will probably be a few weeks until I finish the game and have complete notes, but if you already have notes on some of the things I am taking notes on, I can get through the game faster. PS If you want, you can format your notes and walkthroughs and e-mail them to me and I'll combine them with what I have so far to start a webpage similar to my A2 and Nethergate pages (both of which are based on Shrodinger's faqs). -------------------- Be careful with a word, as you would with a sword, For it too has the power to kill.

You might not be in too much trouble, because many creations have more than 1 canister available.

Ladies and Gentlemen, my comrades, in these dangerous times, when terrorists are threatening the very foundation of our democratic freedoms and evil imperialists are depriving workers of their livelihood, we must unite together to protect our freedom, democracy and rights of the working class. Tonight, I am unveiling the party of the future, the true champion of the people and protector of our freedoms: Exile Voter Organization League (EVOL). The EVOL party will work to protect every Citizen of Exile from the tyranny of Spiderweb moderators. We will free the oppressed, uplift the downtrodden and infuse the masses with the sense of purpose and pride in their potential. We will protect you from evil terrorists and stop the encroachment of government upon your civil liberties. We will work together to build a bright future in which every man has an equal role in society. Every great journey begins with small steps. Our first step is to take over the moderation of General forum, starting with winning this election. Thus we encourage all our members to vote for our supreme ruler, the kind, wise, strong, just friend of the people, Zeviz. Vote Zeviz - almost as good as voting Alcritas Vote Zeviz - support EVOL Vote Zeviz - resist authority Vote Zeviz - obey authority Vote Zeviz - support truly meaningful reform To learn more about EVOL party and Zeviz '05 campaign, visit our official webpage: EVOL [ Monday, June 20, 2005 20:56: Message edited by: Zeviz ] -------------------- Be careful with a word, as you would with a sword, For it too has the power to kill.

Since various organizations began releasing rumors about their officials planning to run, Spidweb Times decided to participate too. We apologize for the delay, but undead tend to have slow starts * Cold wind moans in the streets of a ghost town, while swinging doors make dancing shadows in the light of full moon. Suddenly, pale green glow begins breaking through the boarded up windows of a house on the edge of town, illuminating the Spidweb Times sign. A low moan echoes through the town and an army of zombies spill out of the building to do some "campaigning". * -------------------- Be careful with a word, as you would with a sword, For it too has the power to kill.

Shrodinger, who made faqs for Gf 1 and 2 now has better things to do than writing detailed walkthroughs. ;) I am taking carefull notes as I am going through the game and will probably put together a less ambitious faq when I am done. -------------------- Be careful with a word, as you would with a sword, For it too has the power to kill.

There are many possible explanations. For example: 1. Considering that it doesn't destroy entire castle, it's probably not real quickfire, but some weaker substitute. (A pipe, pouring a steady stream of oil set on fire would work quite nicely.) 2. The large troop formations are always led by commanders with apropriate clearance. As for small raiding parties from local garrisons, the guards know them personally, because they live in the same barracks.

Dryaks at Taker Tall Road are very difficult, even with Parry at 15. Try to fight them 1 or 2 at a time. As soon as one of them sees you, run to hide behind a distant corner. That should give you time to deal with a couple of them before the rest get there. Use speed spores, instead of spell to get yourself extra time during first round of combat. And make sure you take out all the groups and the cryodryaks near exit before dealing with the Drakon. Even with these tricks, it still took me a few trials to take out each group as a guardian. PS Try to get your parry high enough for a 50% chance of ripost. (There are some Parry canisters in the game.) That 50% ripost often does more damage than your own attacks.

However, there is a non-bug method to safely steal many items in buildings: go into a building and close the door behind you. If the guards can't see you, you won't get caught, so closing the door behind you can make many additional items accessable to unscurpulous characters. -------------------- Be careful with a word, as you would with a sword, For it too has the power to kill.

If you are going to go so far, you might as well use one of the editors to get all the money you want. Killing random townspeople destroys your RP experience (unless you are intentionally RPing a homosidal maniac :) ) and blowing up friendly people by remotely absorbing pyroroamers is exploitation of a loophole in game mechanics. So if this is ok with you, you can save a lot of time by simply using an editor.

The answer to your question: http://web.archive.org/web/20020220015421/www.ironycen tral.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=000046&p=7 (Page 7 of Nephils v. Sliths topic from web.archive.org) Look at the post counts of Morgan (1023), Drakey (904) and Saunder (939) who posted on that page. While we are looking at Web Archive, here is the main page from November 21st, 2001: http://web.archive.org/web/20011121074803/http://www.ironycentral.com/cgi-bin/ ubb/ultimatebb.cgi The good old times... :) EDIT: Although I personally prefer a slightly later snapshot: http://web.archive.org/web/20011205084001/http://www.ironycentral.com/cgi-bin/ ubb/ultimatebb.cgi ;) EDIT 2: Page 11 of that topic show Alorael with 1170 posts and Drakey with 902. So I guess the list of people to get to 1000 posts is: 1. Alorael 2. Morgan 3. Saunders 4. Drakey (Although Sunders and Drakey could have been reversed by the time they got to 1000 posts.)

When I come here, I want a nice place to relax. When I want mafia vibe, I go to forums for playing werewolf/mafia games. I could post links to a couple of them if you want. (I am assuming that by "mafia vibe" you mean the game "mafia" in which some players are mafia members and the rest are townspeople, who try to discover who among them are mafia members before being killed by them.)
