Let me get this straight: you're not going to buy G5 because G4's Bob didn't give specific enough directions? Was G3, with its complete lack of plot, better in that regard?

Is this question ever going to die, like it deserves? Jesus.

While we're at it, Guile isn't Magus, either. :P

I agree with Drew. Blind belief is definitely one piece of how religion plays out.

However, it's not the only piece. I would argue that religion can also provide a framework for dealing with the world (experiencing, interpreting, and reacting to it) which impacts how people make decisions on a number of levels.

You know what would be interesting (and probably within your capabilities)? Aggregating a list of the words most frequently used by each member across all of his or her posts in a given month. A sort of (extremely) crude approximation of topicality. You could have a list of articles and prepositions to toss out.

That would be interesting and, probably, quite amusing. It would have to be a non-live list updated monthly though, to prevent abuse.

Weird. I'm almost sure Str + items added damage in previous games, but haven't tested that in G4. Anyone try it?

There's no inherent reason they can't.

There are lots of reasons why they almost always don't.

That said, there is definitely no reason to attack them.

No, he never said that, Nioca. This is a ridiculously propagated myth. He said there wouldn't be an Exile 4, and he said that back in 1997, I think, years before Avernum was even conceived of.

Alec, you're pulling out invective and making extremely nasty personal attacks. That isn't gracious.

I kind of understand the distinction you're painting about Dikiyoba's stories. However, I'm not clear on

1) How a joke that references the boards themselves in any more of an in-joke or any more "meta" than a joke that simply references members of the boards.

2) What exactly makes "meta" topical posts or jokes worse than their counterparts. Everything here is cud-chewing anyway.

*facepalm*

While there are some people who might drive 3 or 4 hours to get to such a meetup, I doubt anyone would drive 10 hours each way, let alone fly across a continent or between them. If this were going to happen, it would need to be regional. New York would probably be the most obvious place to try. The Bay Area has at least 4 or 5 spidwebbers as well. Actually, let's see...

I apologize in advance that this poll is Americanocentric. I don't really know European or Australian geography well enough to plot them out on this. I've tried to put down loctaions where there seem to be multiple members, at least.

The question for Tyranicus is of course how many members he's talked to on the phone.

Are you sure that drayks and drakons do fire damage? Can anyone else confirm this about windows (or possibly updated mac versions as well)?

If so, that's a HUGE change, which among other things makes drayks and drakons less consistently useful.

I know there are a few minor errors that crept into the page. To be honest, I doubt I'll update it. G4 has lost my energy and attention.

Geneforge Political Spectrum in Geneforge 4: Rebellion

Well, keep in mind that the Rebellion as of G4 only really supports creation rights for Drakons (and sometimes Drayks). The Drakons, essentially the surviving part of the Rebellion, were going to destroy all the other creations with the Unbound anyway. So the choice isn't really about creation rights anymore.

I *did* use backtostart, and right about that time, too. I was too lazy to walk through all those empty zones twice when I could just do it once. Serves me right, I suppose.
