Interestingly, Google launched a lot of their real services on April 1st too (including Gmail), possibly just to keep people guessing.

Personally, it sounds a lot more realistic than their usual jokes - pigeons, moon bases and mind-altering beverages, oh my.

Edit:

I would like to revise my earlier estimate.

I don't know. I wasn't fascinated either, but I read the first three and am going to read the rest. It's not Tolkien, but it's good.

Well, I'll have a word with him. This has gotten way out of hand; I swear he's had far too much time on his hands since he stopped posting the stats. :rolleyes:

On another note, is anyone getting a queasy feeling in their stomach seeing the moniker "I.F.M."?

Now if only he doesn't begin locking topics in the name of the Muffin, and deleting all his posts in them...

Oh, and I hope I'm not giving away too much here, but I've heard tales that Episode IV is well on its way to the first installment. :ph34r:

Unless my memory of history class, Quo Vadis, and Nethergate are playing tricks on me, at least Augustus was one of the emperors who were worshipped as gods. Perhaps not on the same level as Jupiter et al were, but they got sacrifices and prayers, and that sort of is the definition...

Imperial Religion in Blades of Avernum
Law Bringer
Member # 2984

We generally assume that there is no unified state religion, and while the emperor is glorified, he isn't worshipped to the extent the Roman emperors were. Evidence can be seen in the multitude of small local shrines which don't have much cross-regional influence, but which also aren't being oppressed by larger churches.

In fact, the only powerful religion encountered in the game is the Anama (to a lesser extent the Divine Lucre). Non-canon history has the Anama scuffling with the Empire for power in the past, and it makes sense: Having people owe their greatest loyalty to an omnipotent being (interpreted by a priesthood, no less) instead of the will of the Emperor isn't good for the Emperor's authority.

I have a soft spot for the graphics of Avernum 3, so yes.

Well, the best alternative would have been to invest into an entirely new art set that is based somewhat on the old Nethergate, but looks a bit better.

But if they're going to reuse something, meh, I'm glad it's Avernum and not Geneforge. :P

I narrowly escaped being called "Ara".

They'd called my Aran at Santharia for months already, so I asked that thad'd be used.

Which means I'm now an Automatic Road Analyze/Archipelago west of Ireland/Cashmere Sweater instead of a parrot. Good choice.

Synergy is teh 1337.

Also, can anyone name an example of a moniker not chosen voluntarily? Titles, hell yes, but names? Well, aside from, um, "Iffy", but that didn't really catch on.

Also, when I said "What the hell are you talking about", I was referring to his theory that "AIM ID" was "something you want to be called". However did you arrive at that conclusion?

I had thought that a vague, undirected desire for romance was the lowest, saddest you could get.

However, romantic feelings for a software company beat it by far. Thanks, UM, I feel better now.

I'll have been here for four years in another two months. It's been a weird and eventful time. Enough so that I can't quite describe it. But I joined with a year to go of high school, and I'm now in my third year of college. A B.Sc. is in sight, and I don't know what I'm going to do afterward (or even where)...

This is the clear indication that TM is one of the most well-liked members of this community.
I don't think that's quite what it indicates. People enjoy being scared in horror movies, watching people beat each other up in a ring, and laugh when someone else gets hurts on Funniest Home Videos. We slow down when we drive by a totalled automobile in case there's something especially gruesome to be seen. TM may be popular, but that's not necessarily the same thing as well-liked. Anna Nicole Smith, Paris Hilton, Simon Cowell. See what I mean?

...

Meanwhile, I'm wondering whether Alorael has any say in whether Alorael would like Alorael to be an admin. I have to concur he's an optimal choice if he's actually interested in wielding ABSOLUTE POWER.

-S-

Douglas Adams wisely said the opposite: If he were actually interested in wielding absolute power, he would no longer be an optimal choice...

Forty-seconded. Alorael is the man for the job, obviously.

But Alec, if you're going to make being a Jew one of the criteria, I'm going to have to draw the line at proposing Infernal for adminship. Dictators ought to be benevolent (like the present admins all are, of course, I hasten to say!)
