The worst thing about the save slots is that -- for no apparent reason -- you have to manually hit delete for each character of their titles. That means that if you alternate among save slots, it's a big hassle to actually give useful, descriptive titles.

There is an argument to be made for a few names based on non-canon material related to canon. Given that Jordan Bojar drew art for spidweb, the existence of a beta tester for Exile named Andrew Solberg is hard to ignore.

"Aimee Kilser" definitely appears in the games once -- in either E/A 1 or E/A 2. Linda never has a last name in the games. I suspect Yonther comes from either Chains or Zankozzie's Big Mistake, two scenarios featuring Linda's family.

And go read the talk page, doofus.

Agreed, Synergy -- Harry Potter was billed as an Aragorn, but it was clear from the beginning that he was really just going to be a Frodo. And not much of a Frodo at that...

FYT.

In all seriousness, chitrachs are good in moderation. A4 is continuing to sound good. I wonder what Cheeseball was doing during A4?

Christians certainly have been persecuted in the U.S., although not generally just for being Christian, typically for something more specific. I would assume that Stillness was just noting that it occurs and not trying to compare it with the rather different persecution of Jews, Muslims, Sikhs, or any number of other groups in this country.

The mage is Hiroki, right? The ogre lair has two levels, one of which stretches pretty far to the east -- it sounds like you may have missed that level. The mage is on the opposite end from the chieftain.

"Plenty of social activity" is hard to get for homeschooled kids. At most schools you get a large amount of socialized with a much larger and more varied group of people than you're likely to get elsewhere at that age.

I also disagree about the booksmartness. It's partially true, in that homeschooled currcula are obviously tailored to the individual kid, so on the plus side, obstacles like learning disabilities, disinterest, or truancy are far more likely to be overcome. And it might work well for some subjects, like math or history, that condense well into books. I'm more skeptical of the wankier humanities like literature, that basically require exposure to different viewpoints and styles, particularly among teachers. Science would be hard for most parents to do justice to, as well.

I have to admit that I'm a fan of benevolently arranged marriages too. One of the reasons we are so dysfunctional with our romantic relationships in this country is that we expect them to fall into our laps heaven sent, rather than having to work at them. Arranged marriages with no divorces, on the other hand, make the point that any relationship requires work, and benefits from dedication. I wouldn't want those rules enforced on me, but they do teach a valuable lesson.

Out of curiosity, is "the one who made the Message Board" your brother, and if so, why disguise it?

Niemand, I demand preview screenshots. This might actually get me to pull out BoA again.

If you didn't use cheat codes (the shift-D box) either, then a lot of people would love to hear how you did it. That would be big news.

Blades of Rogue? Does that name mean what I think it does?

Normally I wouldn't dream of it, but given your reputation for scripting, Niemand...
