Slarty's Comic Strip in General
Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Monday, March 13 2006 02:21 Profile Homepage #20 Can anyone explain this sudden rush on gimmicks? I mean, all of a sudden everyone appears to be updating some SW-related page or other, or perpetuating some particular meme. Tyran hosts the general chats, Slarty has his webcomic, Diki is making a drama script... I haven't noticed such a trend before. -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

Posts from beyond the ban? in General
Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Monday, March 13 2006 02:08 Profile Homepage #29 Here's my theory: Posts have their own unique, self-incrementing index (which is never displayed). The recent posts feature in a profile uses this index, and has the posts' corresponding numbers saved somewhere. When i deleted the last posts, their keys were reassigned to the posts made immediately afterward (Very Bad Thing in database design, but that's UBB for you). So the recent posts in his profile still point to the old keys, but the keys now point to new topics and posts. It's just a theory. Also, it's just a more elaborate way of saying "Because UBB sucks". -- Another wtf I stumbled over along the way: Have you noticed that the links point to the post directly (ie, the place on the page via the "#" suffix) only if the post is not on the first page? If the post is on the first page, the link points to the top of the page. If it's on any of the following pages, the page will automatically scroll down to the post.

Edit: Also, it is more polite, if someone appears to be speaking nonsense, to assume they meant something rather than to assume they were speaking nonsense. ;) [ Monday, March 13, 2006 01:56: Message edited by: Aran ] -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

No New Topics For A Day (Monday the 13th) in General
Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Saturday, March 11 2006 17:43 Profile Homepage #24 The last topic I started was about a week ago, and the next topic I'll start is probably the March stats topic (assuming, of course, that the topics aren't starting to get on people's nerves by now). Anyway, all this gives me the following mental image. quote: There were some men in the village who liked to kill kittens. Every day, the community would be shocked to find the mangled bodies of the cute animals that had falled victim to this wanton bloodlust. All pleading and threats fell on deaf ears; the killers were shunned from the community, but their slaying continued. So finally, the elders called a meeting that all of the community (except the kitten-killers) attended, and they came to a unanimous decision: Henceforth, none of them would ever kill a cat on Monday. Apologies for comparing the posting of pointless topics with the killing of kittens. I get far too attached to the forum, and every crappy topic I see is a stab in my heart.

I can only hope that this is because he was completely unable to go online - and not, say, because he found he had Other Things to Do (leaving aside pure spite). Avoiding a ban is a Very Bad Thing, but there is little that beats banning someone and then not finding the time to unban them. -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

Sullust: Wait for one of the current ones to pass on, then bribe Drakefyre... I suppose you can help speed up the "passing on" bit, but I'd warn you that Spiderweb mods, as a rule, are tough as nails, are bred to survive, and are proficient in various martial arts. :P -- They are also people who start topics only when they make sense, who keep their calm in the midst of flamewars, whose powers of spelling and grammar is beyond part, and whom you would implicitly trust even if you dislike them. Based on this, I really have my doubts you'd fit in the group. There are also occasional mod elections. Occasional might be the wrong word, since there have been a total of two in the history of this board. On another note, Kelandon had a proposal for the next mod elections last year. -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Friday, March 10 2006 19:09 Profile Homepage #5 Argh. Wow, this would've been an excellent set-up to "vanish" without trace. First I lost access last evening (I think you remember me leaving the chat without warning?), and I just couldn't get it to reconnect again. Now this. I haven't checked the site yet. I'll see if I can remove this myself, or if my webhost has something to complain about (naughty things at stuff.ermarian.net possibly?) and thus blocked my site temporarily. Keep fingers crossed. Edit: I don't know how, but somehow a protection I actually did place over one directory a few days ago apparently "spread" to cover the whole site. Don't ask me how. I've changed it again, so I hope you are now able to get to the site again.

Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Friday, March 10 2006 09:29 Profile Homepage #4 quote: Originally written by NTJedi: I had an email response from spiderweb software. I asked if there was going to be a sequel for Blades of Avernum because I love it when games have an editor. The response was "very unlikely" . :( On a side note... do any of their games have worlds randomly generated ?? This is another feature I search for in my games. Thanks! Last November I began playing around with algorithms to generate randomized dungeons (basically ADOM-style, with rooms and corridors). It didn't get far, besides it would be hell to implement in Avernumscript. -- Still... then so were framed animations in BoE, right? Oh, and I would be very disappointed if there was BoG. If previous trends are an indication, this would imply that Jeff drops BoA like a three-weeks-old fish, stops updating or bugfixing it, and leaves the whole designing community bogged down (haha pun) with slow site updates and virtually no support. -------------------- Encyclopaedia • Archives • Members • RSS [Topic / Forum] • Blog • Polaris • NaNoWriMo Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.
