quote:Why not continue to use awesome and fantastic for those purposes? I do on occasion. Prepending a superfluous "truly" (as in "truly awesome") might be bad style, but it does seem to get the point across. Few who use awesome, fantastic and terrific to mean the same thing would utter the word "truly". -------------------- Encyclopaedia • Archives • Members • RSS [Topic / Forum] • Blog • Polaris • NaNoWriMo Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.

The first member of this forum is probably stressed given he's Jeff Vogel and currently hard at work porting A4. :P (sorry, I know what you meant, I just felt like messing around. But he is Jeff Vogel, and that is what you wanted to know, right?) You can search the member database at this site, by the way.

OOC: He didn't exactly quit, and nor did he kill you. In fact, relative to the options we discussed, he was pretty forgiving considering you tossed him around like a rag and injured him critically. Also, like me, he is probably less annoyed at the way you handled the combat than at the text quality. When you go "Aaah" outside of dialogue, within your narrative, it's usually a sign you should... uh... calm down a little and avoid getting carried away. It's what you might call Zephyresque. -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

22:00 EST would be 4:00 CET for me. (Actually it will be 4:00 CET for everybody else, but that's not the point). No lectures on Thursdays, so I could possibly sleep early tonight and be awake then. How lucid I'm going to be is another question, and in what way I will be able to contribute (since I have produced less scenarios than Drakefyre if you include works in progress) still another one. Regarding the synopsis: Would someone object against publishing a complete log? It'd be less work, surely... -------------------- Encyclopaedia • Archives • Members • RSS [Topic / Forum] • Blog • Polaris • NaNoWriMo Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.

I haven't played A4, but it has to be damn good (better than A3) to reach the quality of stuff like Canopy and Bahssikava.

It was not when I originally started the database (possibly the only one that was deleted since then and is still gone). Because only existing profiles are updated, this row is now effectively sitting as a ghost in cyberspace.

I'd disagree with that last bit. While the lack of outdoors eventually made me a bit claustrophobic ("when can I finally leave?" "where's the exit?" "I want OUT!"), it was a bit of a novelty. I had to adjust my strategy - normally I walk around in the wilderness until I'm healed; here, healing and energy potions actually had a use outside of combat. In retrospect it seems a bit Geneforge-ish, but that didn't hurt the quality I think. -------------------- Encyclopaedia • Archives • Members • RSS [Topic / Forum] • Blog • Polaris • NaNoWriMo Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.

Wow. I enjoyed the first one immensely (I think I posted a topic to that effect already), and I'm looking forward to this one far more than Avernum 4. Concerning Slithzerikai language, Alec came up with some basic ideas on "Slithzerikaiis". Will you publish a complete vocabulary of your language, along with a few grammar rules? The encyclopedia is hungry... :) -------------------- Encyclopaedia • Archives • Members • RSS [Topic / Forum] • Blog • Polaris • NaNoWriMo Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.
