There are some really cool artificial languages around. Here's a site that lists many of them, incidentally. I wonder if someone should suggest Nohva to be put up there too.

You can add the 'massive' at the front if you like (that's the first M), but there's no P after the M (Multiplayer --> M, not MP).

OOC: Each has a powerful poison, but they're curable as long as they're separate afaik. When he strikes you with both, the poisons combine and you're dead. IC: Eferas carefully watched the battle unfolding before him, never taking his eyes of the portal leading into the nether for too long. For now, there were no opponents that he would be effective against, unless he used his most powerful spell, and he did not want to waste it on anything except the portal. A small energy missile, cast by Baltazar, narrowly grazed past his robe. Luckily, he had woven it with a lot of magical protection against heat; after all he dealt with flames pretty frequently. Nevertheless, he was slightly scalded. It was only a matter of time until he would be severely injured. He remembered that he still had a teleport scroll, but it would not help him much here. He would have to save it up until shortly before he fainted, or the foes would mangle him in his helpless state. OOC: Is it okay that I destroy the portal once the demons start to come through? I effectively knock Eferas out at the same time, so it's not really god-play. Of course, no demons at all is too easy. Maybe I'll let one or two through before the thing explodes or something? That okay? -------------------- Visit The Santharian Dream and its RP board. Or the Encyclopaedia Ermariana! Got a brain? Go to Polaris!

Yay for Commander Keen! I love that old Jump'n'Run stuff. Sadly, I seem to have lost it and also it doesn't work on NT. I currently play mainly a MORPG (that's how you call them isn't it?) called Well of Souls, and a small ASCII rogue-like named Ancient Domains of Mystery (ADOM). I also like to play Settlers IV, but I've mislaid the CD currently, and besides the router doesn't allow me to play multi-player. _files/frown.gif) -------------------- "And all should cry, Beware, Beware!

Baltazar the Mad is in the last stage of playing, so I'll be ready to join this when it starts - I usually avoid entering more than one RP at once in any place, simply because I don't have the time. I usually can get on from 8AM to 2PM PT, but at the moment I have holidays, so I can be on any time, almost.  I might try a new Character... Arancaytar can't be an RP character, he'd be bound to be a demi-god, Eferas was quite nice for a while, but he's rather limited... mmh... how about a priest this time?  I'm afraid though that I can't do much in the way of preparation and plot development; it's just not something I know how to do. But if you want to roughly develop the world first, I'd be greatly interested in helping. In the following week (until next Sunday), I'll be on holiday so I have lots of spare time. You don't seem to mention your email address anyway, btw, so I'll send you a PM (personal message) over this board instead. You read those by going into your board profile. EDIT: Oh. You *can* send email messages via this board. Oh well.  EDIT2: No, can't send to your address. I'll try the PM then.

Did you wake up with a lump on your head and then notice you whacked your head against the bedpost?  Something like that happened to me once. Whenever I have any really bad nightmares by the way, I dream of flying. It's strange, because I don't have any fear of heights. I also sometimes dream of apocalypse. Like the Earth falling into the Sun or some such. And sometimes I'm able to control my dream. Very cool. Btw, I have the theory that whenever you wonder about what you're experiencing is a dream, you automatically can deduce that you're awake. Did you ever wonder if you were dreaming if you were? I certainly didn't.  [ Saturday, October 18, 2003 05:14: Message edited by: Arancaytar ] -------------------- "And all should cry, Beware, Beware! His Flashing eyes, his Floating hair!" S. T.

 You are trying to flesh out a fantasy world in a single discussion thread? I know a whole site dedicating itself to a single such project for 5 years now, and there are many others out there! Sounds like an interesting idea, maybe it doesn't seem particularly unoriginal to me because I haven't played most of the games you're mentioning. But it's a hopeless task to try to develop a world in that brief a time, imo. -------------------- "And all should cry, Beware, Beware! His Flashing eyes, his Floating hair!" S. T.

OOC: This is certainly an interesting battle to follow, but Nazgul, I must say that you've been severely god-playing your character. It's a good character and a nice plot, but too much demigod-liness can hurt an rp. WM, several of the characters here are from other worlds. Including mine.  Eferas can cast a really nice near-apocalyptic spell at any point if you want, possibly destroying the portal because it is more pure energy than fire even though it's a fire spell. It will render him totally comatose of course. Just say the word.  IC: Eferas coughed heavily, and slowly crawled from under Firedrake. Rising to his knees, he knew that they would have to destroy the portal before the demons came through, or they would be doomed. He might be able to harm the portal if he hit it at the right spot, but all the fire in the world would not avail against the nether creatures. Eferas drained his last two Energy potions in quick succession, wiping over the ruby at the end of his staff with the last drops. As he tried to inconspiciously creep into a corner where he would be well out of the way in case he fell unconscious again - which happened to him fairly often when overdraining himself with spells - he recalled what the Archmagi at the Ximax Academy had taught the students about the theory of teleportation, the class of over half a century ago replaying before his still unfaded memory. The old professor came forward from the magical blackboard on which he had just drawn the diagram with his staff. "Even though most of you will probably never create a portal in your life, it will still help you to know the basic principles that are behind it. As you can see," he tapped the diagram, portals are especially unstable at certain points in time. The portal is most unstable directly after someone has passed through from this side, and directly before someone arrives through it from the other end. If you ever have to destroy a portal in battle, wait until it grows active. You will be able to recognize this from the change in the swirl patterns of the surface: A quickening of the swirls indicate an imminent arrival..." Ah yes. Eferas leaned against the wall in his back now, trying to cover his nervous shaking by appearing to be utterly scared of the possessed Kel-Aziz who was advancing upon them... He waited for his moment, trying for now to be ready to evade any attacks Baltazar or Kel-Aziz might launch against him. He gazed steadily at the portal, watching intently for any change in the pattern of the surface, which slowly swirled in its frame like the surface of a soap bubble. OOC: I won't try to kill Baltazar, but WM, being from another world is not a good excuse for godly power. By that logic, I'd be allowed to blast the Tower out of existence. No problem for now, but remember that your argument is a bit flawed. -------------------- Visit The Santharian Dream and its RP board. Or the Encyclopaedia Ermariana! Got a brain? Go to Polaris!

Exactly: The problem is of distinguishing between euthanasia to relieve the patient of pain, and euthanasia to unburden social security, welfare and family. The first is moral imo, while the second is absolutely unethical. -------------------- "And all should cry, Beware, Beware! His Flashing eyes, his Floating hair!" S. T.

Edit: This refers to Thuryl's post. That of course is a question of whether the 'right' also contains the 'duty', which I find absurd, since I agree that a right is something you are free in the usage of. The problem I have with euthanasia is not, strictly speaking, an ethical or a spiritual one, since I'd say comitting suicide is among the basic rights of a person. The problem of legal euthanasia, especially for terminally sick and elderly people, is rather a social one. Even though officially the choice would remain the patient's, families might subtly press their elderly relatives to opt for it when they would rather not, which is of course a perversion of the idea of 'free choice'. There is no real way to rule this pressure out, so legalizing 'professional' euthanasia (ie. by doctors) is not a decision that should be rushed into, imo.

OOC: Sorry, guys, I've been preoccupied with school for a long time. Am I with the other guys in Baltazar's throne room? I won't continue with this post until I know. If yes, then I'm basically boned - Eferas knows only fire spells, and presumably these would not be effective against demons. He might try to do something nasty to Baltazar though, and he *is* a rather powerful mage, even though he is limited to fire. ::IC under Construction:: -------------------- Visit The Santharian Dream and its RP board.

Well, I'd count *many* - hmhm - of my posts as quality posts, and I still sometimes get comments for posting too often. So yeah, too much posting can be irritating too.

OOC: Jeez. I guess I had it coming, not being on for about three days.  Sorry, but I don't really like having my char played, so if you don't mind I'll give the scene from Eferas' point of view again with no conflicts to your post, MSW.IC: A low, rasping moan could be heard, more of a cough than an actual sound. With some effort, Eferas managed to pull himself to his feet by his staff. Still wheezing heavily with the shock, he walked back to where the other mages stood. "Oh my. That was some shock, to say the least." ((ooc: Next bit follows after the end of MSW's post.)) *** After the other mages left the room where Alcove was now resting, Eferas spoke again. "Now. We obviously need a new plan. Since the two archmages, the mightiest enemies Baltazar could ever fear to face, wisely decided to effectively eliminate each other in a personal feud---" Eferas halted, allowing the sarcasm that the last comment was dripping with to sink in, "---, it's up to the rest of us to take on Baltazar. Which, to all practical intents, means Jade and me, since you aren't really here, Delgar. "We could wait for Alcove to regain her power, but an hour is one hell of a long time in our situation. We're occupying a hostile building, and Baltazar's forces can be on us any moment. I feel a few undead presences some way off. They're not near enough to harm us now, but they might come for us. And the guards are also far from defeated. We need to either strike quickly against Baltazar himself, or abandon the attempt. We could also try to find some other rebels for reinforcement." Eferas paused, waiting for other suggestions. ((ooc: wow, that sure was quite a bit of dialogue. ah well, Eferas likes to talk a lot at the most inappropriate moments...  Btw: I might do another IC before Sunday, but after that I won't return till Saturday the 10th, of next week due to my fieldtrip. Rejoice.  ))[ Thursday, October 02, 2003 13:46: Message edited by: Arancaytar ] -------------------- Visit The Santharian Dream and its RP board. Or the Encyclopaedia Ermariana! Got a brain?

OOC: MSW, you said earlier Jade looks like Alcove now? Otherwise, I'll change this. IC: Eferas looked up from where he had been standing at the wall to rest after the two mages had been defeated. He gasped. What he had seen earlier had to be illusions, or other magical summonings, since two mages were once more entering the room. Both of them seemed to be Alcove, but one of them turned to the other, called her 'Jade', and told her to 'take the old graying mage in the corner'. Still worse, Delgar's image flickered, and began to fade. Arcadia ran after Alcove out of the room, presumably to duel separately somewhere. Whatever the outcome, there was still Jade to deal with, and he was on his own now, without any means of removing a charm. If his life was in danger, he would have to kill her, or at least injure her sufficiently to incapacitate her. The mage he had persuaded himself was Jade, still looking like Alcove, began to close on him, weaving her spells as she did. Eferas would have to block now, or he would be in for a lot of ducking in a few seconds. He began the duel by casting another Fire Shield, imbuing it so it would weaken magic that passed through it. The magic missiles shot from Jade's hands, but went flying through the sheet of flame that had shot up in a second, and slowed down, easy to dodge. Eferas then responded by casting a whole volley of Flame arrows, deliberately aiming narrowly past his opponent, in order to distract her. He knew that without being able to dispell the charm, his only hope lay in either rendering Jade unconscious or in fleeing the room and locking the door. Meanwhile, Jade had passed around the flame wall, and was shooting another barrage of bolts at Eferas. Her agility was definitely putting him at a great disadvantage. He spun his staff in a warding gesture, knocking the balls off their course. Another narrow escape, and Jade seemed to have more resources than he.

You can actually play the game with a keyboard? I must try that some time... :D 1. Most important thing ever. It used to annoy the hell out of me in Avernum. Wasn't it fixed in A2 and A3? If not, I really don't understand why. 2. I can't say anything coz I use Windows. I think dis-equipping the item to see the info sucks, though. It's a lot of clicks. 4. Hell yes! 5. No, I don't think that's a really good idea. It sounds like it makes it too easy. 6. Cool, but with some skill you can do it in BoE, and in BoA it should be even easier. ;) -------------------- Encyclopaedia • Archives • Members • RSS [Topic / Forum] • Blog • Polaris • NaNoWriMo Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.

OOC: MSW, that's a pity. If you don't post, I'll have to, I guess. Omlette said it'd be up to me. So, both of you, don't flame me if what I post is not to your liking; after all you told me to do this.  (I really hate taking over other characters, it goes against my RP-ing ethics.  )IC: The two clones ((this is from the viewpoint of Alcove/Jade, so it's known they're clones), controlled by Jade, stepped up to the door. Jade had received a good bit of Alcove's power in the transfer, but her skill at controlling summonings was not as good by far for her lack of experience. The two illusions moved forward a bit clumsily, but Jade was learning fast. She thought for a while to decide on the spells both of them would cast, then softly muttered "Go." as she silently commanded the Alcove clone to break down the door with a force spell. *** "KABOOM!" Eferas had been expecting the ambush, but he was still startled more than a little by the sudden unexpected explosion, as the door vanished in a cloud of splinters. So now it begins. Eferas raised his staff, even as Arcadia and Delgar's two demons moved into combat position. "Efer'eaa!" - Flaming Shield - Eferas shouted as he leveled his staff at the two figures that stormed through the opening. A brilliant sheet of flame erupted in front of the mages and brought light into the room, not harming them but impeding their progress. The real Arcadia, meanwhile, threw an energy bolt at Alcove, which narrowly missed her chest, but struck her arm. The two demons lumbered towards Jade and Alcove, walking through the flame wall unharmed. Jade launched a silver projectile against one of them, which struck its chest but did little harm. Eferas cleared his throat, and cast a Flaming Arrow at Alcove, who was moderately injured by it. Alcove responded with a nasty looking blue lightning, which missed Eferas' chest by a few nailsbreadths, but singed his robe. He could feel the crackling heat on his face and along the whole side of his body, and could only marvel at how he would live through this battle. ((ooc: MSW, I hope I didn't play any of your characters wrongly. I didn't hesitate to injure the attackers since they're only clones. I really can't do more of this now. Omlette, are the two illusions still in place? Do you want to have the demons survive? I'd prefer to leave Arcadia alive, but that's not my decision of course. Anyone care to follow this post up?)) -------------------- Visit The Santharian Dream and its RP board. Or the Encyclopaedia Ermariana! Got a brain? Go to Polaris!
