It works, but it's not supported and I've never heard of it running everything very well. "hack" was referring to OS X on computers not made by Apple. It makes perfect sense; Apple doesn't care if you run XP on Macs because they want to sell hardware, and OS X comes on those Macs by default anyway, so they're not losing any money. On the other hand, if people run OS X on a Dell, e.g., then they don't have to buy a Mac, only OS X, and Apple misses out on a lot of money. -------------------- 5.0.1.0.0.0.0.1.0...

No, they don't. The nephil have muscles, but not nipples. Question for you Dikiyoba: If Nephilim don't have nipples, then you can ssume they also aren't mammals. Do you think that Nephilim are no mammals, and why do you think that, if yes? I think Dikiyoba's referring to the absence of visible nipples in the pictures, rather than claiming that they have no nipples. -------------------- 5.0.1.0.0.0.0.1.0...

Rewards in Blades of Avernum Editor
wz. As Infiltrator Member # 3040	written Monday, March 27 2006 13:43 Profile #0 So, if a scenario were to have no combat in it, what would be a good reward, or motivation? The trouble is that if there is no combat, then the party can really be any level, and so there would be no way to tell if items would benefit them or not. Is advancement of plot sufficient for completing quests? (I mean "quests" in the loosest possible sense: anything that requires the player or the party to complete a given task) Or should there be something else? Flashy technical tricks? Special spells? The reason I ask is that I'm not very creative when it comes to making combat, and I have no particular desire to be so because I don't particularly like combat myself. So, any ideas? I know some BoE scenarios didn't really have combat — how did they handle this issue? -------------------- 5.0.1.0.0.0.0.1.0... Posts: 508 \| Registered: Thursday, May 29 2003 07:00

wz. As Infiltrator Member # 3040	written Wednesday, March 22 2006 21:51 Profile #5 I wonder if we could guess? I'd rule out anything that uses a roman alphabet, since most of those have the convention that "?", "!", and ":" directly follow the words preceding them without a space.

What's your dialect? in General
wz. As Infiltrator Member # 3040	written Monday, March 20 2006 13:06 Profile #25 Bolding those that apply: Vowel mergers/splits: Rhyme: trap, bath (the vowels, anyway) Rhyme: father, bother Identical: cot, caught Rhyme: foot, goose Identical: Lennon, Lenin Identical: pin, pen Identical: line, loin Identical: coil, curl Final vowel of "happy" rhyme with vowel of "meet" R madness: Identical: father and farther Identical: Mary, marry, merry Rhyme: mirror, nearer Rhyme: fern, fir, fur Identical: horse, hoarse L madness Rhyme: salary, celery Identical: fill, feel Identical: fell, fail Identical: full, fool Consonants Same middle consonant: Singer, finger Identical: Heat, eat Identical: Should've, should of (if you were to say "should of") Identical: Wait, weight Identical: Wine, whine So, for the most of you that pronounce "singer" differently from "finger," how are the two pronounced? I pronounce them both almost without the /g/, and just with the velar nasal. Also, the "i" is very short and transformes into the velar "n" almost immediately. -------------------- 5.0.1.0.0.0.0.1.0... Posts: 508 \| Registered: Thursday, May 29 2003 07:00

scenario and its plural in Blades of Avernum

It will thus remain 'scenarios'. What's next? The plural of 'moose' is 'meese'? Well, since the people who spoke Old English, from where the irregular goose -> geese and mouse -> mice plurals evolved, never saw a moose, and therefore needed no word for one, probably not. -------------------- 5.0.1.0.0.0.0.1.0...
