Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Saturday, December 17 2005 13:11 Profile Homepage #10 There's a discrepancy in whether Doston exists, yes. Fortunately, this is made a bit more easy by Doston's rise from the seas (if I remember correctly) being set into the far future of Ermarian (game-wise). You don't need to bother with the continent as long as your scenario is set at least somewhat close to the time period in the game. Edit: Grammar.

We Live on Ermarian in General
Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Friday, December 16 2005 19:49 Profile Homepage #0 Having moved to a new server two weeks ago, which offers a lot more space, more flexibility and also the shiny domain ermarian.net (see the Encyclopedia topic) I also decided to spend some time making an interactive display panel that could show exactly the same info I'm posting here. After all, it's already stored in a MySQL database, so it might as well have a front end. This front end is now here. It's simple, it's easy to use, it's interactive and above all it has ads from my pimp-- cough kind sponsor Google at the top (hey, that hosting is expensive I tell you). This program now takes over pretty much all of the function of this topic. But because, being designed by me, it is doomed to fail whenever I will have least time to fix it, I will continue to post the info here. Whenever there's a discrepancy, trust my numbers and not those of the program. So for those who like the stats delivered in a familiar and less impersonal way, all the content will still be in here. Anyway. 1. Joining Rate 85 new members have joined us this month, of which 52 have posted. The total of registrations is imperceptibly higher than in the last two months, but the number of actual posters is more so. Still, it's a slow month. Monthly Overview: April 2005: 151/87 May 2005: 78/43 June 2005: 147/91 July 2005: 153/88 August 2005: 108/62 September 2005: 91/52 October 2005: 81/43 November 2005: 83/41 December 2005: 85/52 2. Activity A total of 239 members have posted in the last month. 187 of these are old members, 52 of them just joined this month and will to a great part vanish again immediately. This is a small increase from last month, but more apparent is the increase in new members over old members - this might indicate a loss of activity in the future, when some of the new members leave again. Monthly Overview: April 2005: 360 (273) May 2005: 262 (219) June 2005: 325 (232) July 2005: 352 (264) August 2005: 293 (231) September 2005: 256 (204) October 2005: 229 (186) November 2005: 234 (193) December 2005: 239 (187) Postage: We have broken another record. No need to cheer; it's a record low. 3958 posts, by far the lowest monthly post count that we have yet had this year. This might be seasonal though; I don't know since I don't have last December to compare it with. 3958 posts divided by 30 days comes out to 131.93 posts per day, or by 239 members to 16.56 per member, or 0.552 per member per day. Monthly Overview: April 2005: 7576 \| 186 \| 21 \| 0.47 May 2005: 4723 \| 169 \| 18 \| 0.52 June 2005: 7267 \| 251 \| 22.4 \| 0.77 July 2005: 8691 \| 271.6 \| 24.7 \| 0.77 August 2005: 5917 \| 190.9 \| 20.1 \| 0.65 September 2005: 5412 \| 174.6 \| 21.1 \| 0.68 October 2005: 4477 \| 149.3 \| 19.5 \| 0.65 November 2005: 4389 \| 141.6 \| 18.8 \| 0.61 December 2005: 3958 \| 131.9 \| 16.6 \| 0.55 4. Rankings This month's rankings are available here. Please note that this script will only begin to work correctly when the server thinks it is the 17th, which won't be for another hour (server's in Texas). [Edit: Changed a function, now it works.] The top ten, however, are here. I win yet again, but note that Alorael is also rather near the top this month. Also, congratulations to Alo for making me increase the width of the postcount column. Ow. I've been up for the past six hours.

Of course I played the BoE version, right up until finishing that battle in the mountain pass. Then I ran out of time and had to do something else, and never got around to finishing the BoE version. That was a year ago.

To sink or not to sink, that is the question in Richard White Games
Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Friday, December 16 2005 01:28 Profile Homepage #5 Mostly we figure that RW speaks through Icshi, I guess. Also, to answer the topic: Take a look at the name "SubTerra". "Sub"... "Terra". "Sub" means "Under, beneath, below", as in "Subterranean" (underground), "Submarine" (underwater), "Substandard" (below standard), "Sublime" (beneath lime) and "subtle" (below tle). It is obvious where the forum belongs - below all the other boards. Keep things as they are now. Or is that forum named "Above RWG"? No, it is named "SubTerra". I hope I have made myself clear.

Canopy...need help in Blades of Avernum
Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Friday, December 16 2005 01:17 Profile Homepage #22 quote: Originally written by Kasumetoru Sai: quote: Originally written by An array cat: It's a scenario by TM. If it ended in a standard epilogue where you got to bask in your sense of accomplishment after saving the world, it wouldn't be. There's no "satisfying ending" in Unbalanced Accounts (the scenario never really existed), Echoes (congratulations on starting a war and witnessing a valley's genocide), Echoes: Assault (you're alive, albeit exiled), Echoes: Pawns (win a fortress, lose a fortress) or either Roses of Reckoning. In Streila Spies (death), Bandits II (deacon nukes a city dead), Corporeus (you go crazy), Nebulous Times Hence (death) and Canopy (dath), the party explicitly loses. Yes, that is what I meant. Also, given that in RoR it felt like the villains were made such by "The Evil Capitalist Establishment!!", it's a pretty ambiguous victory.

Sorry. Hi. Is there another way but being killed by Spiegelbrecher at the end of Canopy ? Because an ending like that is merely stupid. A scenario is usually made to be win, as you know ! Or there isn't any interest to play it... It's a scenario by TM. If it ended in a standard epilogue where you got to bask in your sense of accomplishment after saving the world, it wouldn't be.

Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Wednesday, December 14 2005 15:53 Profile Homepage #36 At this point, I would like to mention that I didn't have Internet yesterday, and I started up Myst III and solved it for the third time this month. Only Voltaic that is, after that I just got tired and loaded up the save game just before the ending sequence. Saavedro is an amazing character. Unfortunately, I still keep looking around for Saruman whenever he's around, by reflex. :P -- Oh, and today I beat the computer in a one-on-one game at AoE, medium difficulty. That's not very good, but it is when you consider I suck at AoE and haven't played in two months.
