If you already played the G series, why include it in the poll? Certainly not for completeness, given that you refuse to include Exile and (even more strangely) Blades. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

GOLDENKING: This has gone way too far. There are now two options: 1. You post in this thread, have a respectful conversation about what is and is not acceptable to do in the RP, and respect the judgment of your fellow players. 2. I ask Arancaytar to forcibly remove you from the RP thread. I would never consider this, but you are refusing to listen to reason time and again. At this point, I think most of the other players would support my request.

Realmz is entirely inferior to Exile, but it can still be fun, and is worth a few days of play. As for registration codes: Fantasoft was pretty much incommunicado for a year or two, but there is a new business partner dealing with registration codes. I emailed him and received a replacement registration code within an hour, a few months ago. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

I too am surprised to find out that Dikiyoba is a woman, but only because she has never corrected the frequent use (by others) of male pronouns to refer to Dikiyoba. As far as personality goes it makes perfect sense to me.

I will be more explicit. Other than Formello, no one has stated anything. THEREFORE, make it up. It's an RP. There are no history books to refer to for the past 300 years. We all collectively make it up. We just have to be reasonable about it. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

If you're going to set up mini vmac, I can also recommend Wizardry VI: Bane of the Cosmic Forge. I could only get it to run in black and white, but it's still a great game. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

Thralni, make up a city. As Aran keeps saying, and people keep forgetting, 300 years have passed. There should really be VARIOUS new settlements around Avernum and Valorim. Alternately, go ahead and quit. If you can't get exactly what you want, there's no reason to compromise with other people. :P -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

Aran: I will get to it as soon as I can. Splitting up my forces, which was kind of necessary given the nature of goblins, has left me with 3-4 fronts that need updating at any given time, not counting Glogroth, and writing decent RP posts takes more effort than random posts do. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

"or is this RP some kind of ancient Myth, like the Greeks and Romans had" In case you didn't notice, the RP involves magic, mythological creatures, and a whole slew of other things that do not exist in our world. Yes, I am a stickler for realism in the context of the game-world. I strive to maintain the integrity of the game-world. This is quite different from suddenly deciding to apply real-world standards of reality to the game-world, in one limited instance, which is what you are doing right now :P -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

(IC) Thralni, are you questioning the faith of my dear Gobby Gods? Gobriquet, come over here and help your dear me, help me to split the head of the numskull of a nephil who dares to question the farting power of our Gods! (/IC) Edit: In all seriousness, Thralni, the only thing time I have written dialogue in for the Gobby Gods is when Glogroth is alone at the Holy Hole. I have left it up to the reader to determine what this means. At the moment, there are many plausible explanations, including that the Gods are real, or that Glogroth is crazy, or quite possibly both. --- The citadel isn't surrounded by goblins, is it? Kappa only brought 20 or 30, both you and I specified that in our posts. The rest of the army is nearby, but it's not surrounded. BTW, I finally updated the roster.

-------------------- Humans are whiny and sensitive, like babies who have been coddled. A lot of goblins are whiny and sensitive too. But we must try to be better than the humans. We must put up with discomfort, so that we may better slay the evil men. -- The Great Authoritative Extra Great Guide to Killing, Slaying, Butchering, and Otherwise Disemboweling Humans -------------------- Gilgamegob stood on the east bank of the river that separated the swamps from the human lands of eastern Pralgad. He could see houses in the distance; they were just at the outskirts of the heavily settled lands. His troops were lined up just by the river for several miles. It had taken a while to lug all of their plants and nodules and other pieces of filth across the river; and in darkness, too, for they wanted every advantage they could get, against the vicious humans. The swamp stuff was packed together in great, rotten, smelly heaps, every hundred feet or so. "It's time. Give the signal to the rest of the army." Gilgamegob bent down and kindled a small fire at the foot of his pile of crap. Within a few minutes, the whole heap was starting to burn. Similar fires appeared all the way down the line of goblins. "This smell is smelly and unbearable! Please, please let me go jump in the river, master!" Even Gilgamegob was holding his nose. "Enough, Enkigoo. This just means our trick is working, working well. This horrible smell will drive the humanitarians out of their houses, and it will linger, so they won't be back, no they won't." The mages, who had been experimenting to find out which smelly things burned the smelliest, had come up with a collection whose foul odor lingered for several days before really disappearing. They also assured him that it would spread out to wreak reek at quite a distance. Gilgamegob couldn't be sure his ploy would work. But if it smelled this bad to him, surely it would make weak-nosed humans gag, or vomit, or at least want to get away as fast as they could. The line of goblins slipped back down in the depression of the river after lighting all of the heaps. They would wait for the smell to rouse the humans. When they left, they would take over their towns, and fortify them, to make it easier to kill the many, many humans who lay beyond.

Tyranicus, who has just discovered the splendor of Final Fantasy 3j, recently posted this picture of a party inspired by Dikiyoba's script:  Last year I made a Jewel of Arabia party based on the Planeteers (you start with a monkey, so it was asking for it):  So, here's a contest: take a screenshot of the most amusing / appropriate RPG party you can come up with. It can be Spidweb-themed, or not, and it can be a SW game, or not. The winner, determined by me, wins his or her choice of the following lovely prizes graciously donated by members in the chat room: -- being a moderator* -- instant, painful death -- the Balms of Inanity and Death -- a copy of Carmageddon (PC, Win95 only) -- a copy of Spectre VR on a floppy disk -- nothing *note: moderatorship will be granted on one message board, not necessarily this one -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

Depends what you're looking for. If you prefer Avernum to Exile, you may be out of luck. If you don't mind lower quality graphics, Pool of Radiance is an obvious recommendation. For pseudo-real time, full RPG dungeon crawls, you can't beat Dungeon Master II. If you like games that are more plot-driven and less open-ended, Final Fantasy 4 and 6 (released in the U.S. as II and III respectively) and ChronoTrigger, all SNES games, have stood the test of time. Some would also include Super Mario RPG, brilliant in its day, in this category. Most of those have been re-released for PlayStation or GBA. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

The italics you omitted from my statement are rather significant. Obviously, many standards would not count Russia as Western. But there are also ways of dividing the world that would count it as Western. See, for example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_world which points out the ambiguity in the word "Western" at extravagant length. To quote: "In the Near East or Middle East, (both terms relative to Europe as being in the west), the distinction between Western Europe and Eastern Europe is of less importance; countries that western Europeans might think of as part of Eastern Europe, i.e. Russia, might be counted as Western in the Middle East, in the sense of being both European and Christian. People from the West are known by many in the East and Middle East as "Westerners". -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |
