That is only useful if you know what keywords to search for. While +rpg -mmorpg might yield some results, it will take an hour or two to get to the worthwhile stuff, more often than not. The best course of action normally is instead to go to a board like this one, ask around, and then form a specific query like "neverwinter nights" which should give useful results a lot earlier. -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

For a moment there I thought "Well speak of the devil, what a coincidence", then I realized it was just you fooling around with monikers. :P Also, this retroactive holiday stuff is dangerous. Only a few days ago, we retroactively moved White's birthday to October 7th and celebrated it every year, and it turned out that while going home from that party I got killed by a drunk driver, leaving me seven years dead until the celebration was moved again the next day. Of course, I retroactively reverted to existence later, so it would appear to an outsider I had never been dead at all. But I noticed, and it wasn't pleasant. -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

Actually, I saw the mistake, but I didn't bother adding [sic] or some crap in the signature. Also, September 3rd is what I meant by "four months ago".

Alec is gone. So is Djur. While I can cope without the latter, Spiderweb isn't what it was before either of them left. Back when Djur would FYT and Alec would engage you in debates of sociopolitics and military history which you would inevitably lose, us newbies had a HARD TIME! And, by golly, we LIKED it!

It's a phonetic term; two vowels that don't form a single sound but rather glide from one sound to another. ow is one of these, as is ay.

Unfortunately, while achieving a custom title takes little beyond being witty, understanding and generally non-noobish for a very, very long time, getting knighted takes more of an effort. Although when you think about it, there are far more knights than there are custom-titled members on this board. -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

I've been there, listened a lot, talked very little, learned some stuff nonetheless, and now need to leave. Also, the best options I've seen for chatrooms are IRC and AIM. Both of these can be used with many different chat clients rather than through a web interface. For IRC, Arcane already put up a channel at irc.heavenlyplace.net/#Avernum, but most networks will let you register a new channel. -------------------- Encyclopaedia • Archives • Members • RSS [Topic / Forum] • Blog • Polaris • NaNoWriMo Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.

Under other circumstances, I'd theorize that other accounts of inactive or less well-known people were deleted and nobody noticed, but the database contradicts that. Nobody's been done in for a while now, except for Saunders and Mystery Man. Each of whose demises was a medium-size cataclysm, incidentally. I recall Drakey feverishly working to restore threads that day, and the boards were down for many hours. And Rosycat will return eventually. Omlette did, and Rosy hasn't been gone by far as long as he had. -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

*jedi gesture* My signature was always accurate. I did not attribute SupaNik's quote to Ben. Rosycat left Spiderweb; she last posted over a year ago. She sometimes posts at Polaris, but that was four months ago too. -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

OOC: Seeing as my precious post got pretty much buried, I'll post my next one in here. IC: Melora had switched from sage to assassin within an instant, the inbred instincts of her race allowing her to draw her daggers and evaluate her opponent's defense with hardly a conscious thought. The first two daggers hit one of the Uruk-Hai, grazing his throat and striking his chest. There was a heavy thud, but the demon appeared to be unfazed. The third narrowly missed its shoulder, while the fourth sailed past his ear and then by Filbert's hair. My aim is rusty, she cursed herself, it must be the taint. That, or she was getting tired after this ordeal. By her estimate, she had not slept for twenty hours at least, and not truly rested since Verwey, a few days ago. ((ooc: 4 months...)) Her kind was hardy and could go without sleep for long times, but their skill suffered. She looked around for Lisha, but did not find her at first. Then she saw her - the assassin had slipped into the shadows, evidently seeking an opportunity to get close to Filbert. In an attempt to give her that window of opportunity, Melora's hands crept to her cloak again, while she carefully kept herself ready to evade the beasts' lethal claws. But it was not her that the creatures seemed to be after. Whether because she was a harder target, or they knew the drow as one of their own - she grimaced - the second Uruk-Hai launched itself at the Lisha and Sequoia, missing the former one but sending the druid spinning through the air like a rag doll. A miracle if he survives this, Melora thought before she felt an unreasoning rage take her. Perhaps it was another possession coming on, but the sight of this... fool... strutting about and commanding demons and killing her companions was too much. What does he know of hell? When did he ever trudge the blighted swamps of Ilyat and face its nameless denizens under a moonless night? Without time to think, she drew another pair of daggers and sent them like lightning rods into the chest of the injured Uruk-Hai. But the demon seemed not to feel it. Desperate, she searched through her weapons. Steel, copper, harizan-coated, mithril... no, that's for werewolves. Although... taking out her mithril dagger, she launched it at the injured Uruk-Hai's throat, where it burned with a light as bright as the sun and turned the demon into a pile of dust. Just then, out of the corner of her eye, she saw movement. Sequoia stirred from where he was lying... Suddenly, the world was alight with green; a lightning bolt sizzled the air and struck the second of the demons, the one who had thrown him earlier. Melora's eyes re-adjusted to the sudden darkness after the flash, and there was nothing left of the demon. Sequoia stood up. Now that he was back in the light, Melora gasped again - his wounds were more serious than they had appeared at first. If he did not get medical attention within minutes, he would die. And he was their only healer, unless you counted Edith's potions. I might be able to fix something up, she thought, while remembering that healing spells were by far not her forte. Hers was the destructive side of nature's power, the crushing jaws of the tiger and the lethal poison of the spider. In spite of his wounds, Sequoia seemed to stand with little difficulty. Melora marveled at this before she saw his eyes - bright green pools, but with a hidden spark of red fire. The taint of the mountain was driving him, like it had her earlier She drew back in fear, for Orloki's power was awesome. She felt like screaming. Sequoia did. The druid's shout - whether of rage, pain, fear, or all of it, she did not know - echoed from the high ceiling and filled the tunnel. Then he screamed again. Louder. Melora was still apprehensive, but a hint of irritation crossed her. If he's going to act the enraged berserker, can't he do it a bit more quietly? The third Uruk-Hai, now faced by foes on three sides, showed a sudden terror. He was not controlled by Orloki, but Filbert - and Filbert was as little a master of demons as Melora was a high priest of the Order of Krell. With a fear that a true master could have suppressed, the demon looked around at his adversaries: Melora was drawing another dagger, Sequoia was brandishing his broken staff like a wrathful God of Nature, and Lisha, who had yet to make her kill, stood menacingly before him. It was too much. The demon turned and fled. OOC: He's going to come back within moments when Orloki gets him back under control. -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!
