Next question: Did you notice this problem by looking at the code, or did you get an email saying: "Hey, your game sucks; if you make like 32000 sparks on the title page the graphics go all wrong!!"

The new chitrach looks good. I'm looking a bit more forward to the Windows release now than I did a few weeks ago.

Question: Why the hell do you upload your text as a Word file? It can only be read by people who have bought Office (and then only by those who have never heard of the term "macro virus").

Secondly, does the fact that it is hosted on furnation mean it may make people want to claw their eyes out?

Thirdly, haven't you posted this topic before? I'm sure I saw it somewhere...

Edit: Well, okay, similar topics.

Just because he didn't run over my cat with a car doesn't mean he didn't own a car. :P On the other hand, random acts of vandalism aren't really a constructive solution. I don't live there any more, so I'm just pleased that he won't be causing problems in future.

(As it happens, I did lose another cat to a car once, but that was an accident -- according to the driver, the cat was being chased by a dog and ran out into the road.)

By the way, I'll be gone again for a few days starting tomorrow. I should be back by Saturday.
Then blame my lacking English vocabulary that does not return anything for the expression "to key a car".

I believe Thuryl was talking about a neighbor who poisoned cats, not ran over them with his car. Or did I confuse something?

Even Lovecraft had something to say on this matter, and Lovecraft was also into tentacled, mind-rending gods of darkness - just for reference:

quote:
It is said that in Ulthar, which lies beyond the river Skai, no man may kill a cat; and this I can verily believe as I gaze upon him who sitteth purring before the fire. For the cat is cryptic, and close to strange things which men cannot see. He is the soul of antique Aegyptus, and bearer of tales from forgotten cities in Meroe and Ophir. He is the kin of the jungle’s lords, and heir to the secrets of hoary and sinister Africa. The Sphinx is his cousin, and he speaks her language; but he is more ancient than the Sphinx, and remembers that which she hath forgotten.

That's about what your table code would look like. But it does looks pretty cool, Thralni.
However, this would be on every page. And guess what happens when you want to add an item to the menu... :P

Ja Der Wagenhumpen. (Es ist nicht Deutsch, aber es klingt gut.)

It is quite telling that beyond English and German, I am familiar with no other natural languages (although I can read French with little effort, and I 'understand' Dutch - but nearly all Germans can do that). A brief collection of various artificial languages I 'know' (for Esperanto, those three words are all there is):

It does look much better. One thing I would suggest, though, is changing from frames to tables, but that's only minor.
Frames have this way of saving the web designer work... although they can be very annoying when used improperly.

The Encyclopedia was framed for two years before I moved it to MediaWiki. The design is more flexible as it is more normalized (ie, no duplicate information that needs to be changed on all pages whenever you modify the menu).

One of the most essential features of most web searches is the ability to exclude certain terms by adding a minus sign. "nephilim cat -angel -bible" is far more likely to get the feline race than simply "nephilim cat".

Without the "not" operator, you're pretty much screwed when it comes to googling.

HTML. It doesn't stand for How To Make Love, see.

In other words, save the page, open it in the editor, change the posts and then upload it to freewebs - as ben did.

Use Google correctly. For starters, exclude results with "feed", "pill" and "inject". You should figure out how to narrow it down from there...

Edit: No, apparently the Nephilim entry only describes general appearance, not that of the head itself.

New theory: The reason Vahnatai is spelt so atrociously almost without exception is that everyone who spells it correctly already found the walkthrough with Google. The rest don't find anything under vantihatihaititai and end up asking here. :)
