There is no sanity, and there is no door. Your head is already loose, you must merely free your mind enough to perceive it. We cannot let you in; you can only let yourself in: With time, you will understand what we say, and it will be the outside world that is perplexingly irrational. Then, you will know enlightenment.

I don't recognize the name of Scott Evans... does he have a moniker he goes by as a designer? What did he make?

I voted TM and Kelandon just to be different - I like both your works, why can't you just... you know. :rolleyes:

BTW the original question in this post reminds me strongly of the movie Labrynth. Anyone else remember that?

The King is going to read his paper, burn it, and claim it read marriage. It's off to Exile you go. ;)

And as for the Ghoul on Bigail one, it went:

I have to knives, they're long and red
I want to stick them in your head.


Which, with the rhyming, sounds a lot better.

Take it elsewhere, please.

The second thread does not count, since a poll is not a place to advertise. However, any other given place - such as this topic - is a very apt place. In spite of the comment in the third thread, it is unavoidable to keep propaganda to a propaganda topic. It doesn't work in real life, and it doesn't work here. Advertising, wrong as that may be, will always be opt-out rather than opt-in.

[QB]The reason why I call this a dull topic is because there are very few people who knows the answer... if there are anyone. Perhaps if we asked a game history profesional (I belive there is such an occupation nowadays.) we could find an answer on that question.

EDIT: I made a couple of google searches. Found nothing. :|

EDIT II: I made even more google searches. I found out that the first scenario editor may have been for Warcraft but there are conflicts.

You seem to be unfamiliar with the purpose of discussion. A topic that can be answered swiftly is a dull topic, because there is no point in continuing to discuss on it.

A couple of weeks will possibly get me up to 1000. I am also hoping for a miracle — getting to 1000 posts before Harry Potter is released (15 days away). So that makes it...8 posts a day. Manageable.

Please do not start spamming for the sake of doing it. >< It is just so pointless.

I was able to hold up 12 posts a day for almost a week once. It's tricky, but possible if you don't have much to do, and of course if there are lots of other posters and topics to reply to. You can only be as active as the board, if you don't want to spam.

It also fools elementary school kids that cannabis is the nectar of gods and that Hitler was a good man.

EDIT: I admit I am exagerating and being cynical. I have not came over Nicole's death, yet.

Uncontrolled access to information should be given to those who are mature enough to view it critically. If elementary students are capable of that, there is no danger. If they are not, they should not be given access.

The danger lies in thinking the entire population consists of elementary students. It does not. Most people read critically.

And seasonal changes are at the same time the month changes? Ie. Winter starts on 1st Icefall?

Mmmmh... well, on the northern hemisphere, winter starts in December and continues through January and February. That could mean Frost is the first month of the new year.

Unless of course the new year begans in Summer in Ermarian. Hey, it does down south (or up south, if you want to believe Alec about Aizoan culture)!

Ermarian appears to have a calendar with six or eight months of 35 days each. I've forgotten which they were and I'll be unable to check myself for the next few days at least... can someone name them for me in the right order?

Plus, does anyone know which of them is the first in the new year, or is this never established in the games?
