Not only do you not have to eat food manually, you can't. There's no "eat food" command. So I'm a bit confused at how that made you give up the game.

What do you mean, not that way? Of course that way. How else do you explain "Man of the People"?

On second thought...

quote:
Unlike nuclear DNA in which the genes are rearranged by ~50% each generation (due to the process called recombination), there is usually no change in mtDNA from parent to offspring by this mechanism. Because of this and the fact that its mutation rate is higher than nuclear DNA and easily measured, mtDNA is a powerful tool for tracking matrilineage, and has been used in this role for tracking many species back hundreds of generations.

Yes, this is exactly what Thuryl was saying. See my italics above.

They really do make sense. They just generally aren't explained, even to the people who receive them, and many people are too lazy to do much thinking on their own.

Don't mind me, I'm just in a spat of a mood...

The question is why the Cult would care so much about reviving Vlish at this particular moment.

There are a few unanswered questions like that from previous episodes as well.

There's a conspiracy going on here, and... oh dear. Oh dear. And, uh, that's all for now.

If I were a giant, self-centered pharmaceutical company, I would be dashing to sponsor research trials for a promising cancer treatment with little potential for profit. If it actually panned out, the payout in good publicity would be unimaginable, and priceless.

I think it took about two or three minutes. There are two simple, non-interacting operations per iteration, and there are sets of 5 and 8 possibilities which factor neatly into 40.

Clearly this doesn't add anything to the emaciated list of practical applications of studying phonology. But I can permutate characters like a madman.

Which endings are considered canonical? in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Raven v. Writing Desk
Member # 261
Profile Homepage #8
In G1, what you do with the Geneforge (and Trajkov and Goettsch) is actually the major determiner of the ending you get; what sect you joined, if any, can cause significant changes but you stay within the same branch.

G2 and G3 are both very straightforward. G2 has 4 or 5 endings, depending on whether or not you count Aodare's ending the same as Zakary's. You probably should. G3 has 2 endings.

G4 is a bit like G1. Although there are 3 possible endings as far as the fate of the world goes, each one has pretty big variations in what the PC's fate is, based on things other than the Unbound.

This is another situation where premises were designed for G1 and made perfect sense, but were not updated accordingly with the new settings. The rapid experience gain made sense in G1. It was accounted for by the fact that you were using canisters (a pretty fair assumption in G1). Other people couldn't do it as well because they weren't Shapers, but the ones who used canisters *were* significantly more powerful.

That only works if you go ahead of the person in combat. Otherwise, there will be a very annoying three seconds of forced inaction while you watch *them* move first.

That *is* a problem. I can think of a few other places it was especially bad. There were several annoying wanderers in Rivergate Keep -- Mouawad and Duncan both managed to start moving almost every time I was about to click on them, especially Mouawad.

However, that wouldn't be a problem if there was some kind of keyboard movement. Directional keys would be easy enough to respond to them with and move to intercept them. With the need to move the mouse and then click, it's often impossible, as by the time you have the mouse positioned correctly, they will be past you and you *can't* catch up with them.

The other thing that impedes this is the need to be within a certain range to talk, but the apparent inability to get their attention. So if I click on them directly, I end up following them past multiple rooms.
