Oh, I'm sure Jeff Vogel will give you a product he worked hard on and has been paid good money for by thousands of people for free if you ask him nicely. After all, you are special.

Which is why "Ernest Goes To Camp" is better than the Sistine Chapel. -------------------- They want to have a war to keep their factories They want to have a war to keep us on our knees They want to have a war to stop us buying Japanese They want to have a war to stop industrial disease They're pointing out the enemy to keep you deaf and blind They want to suck your energy, incarcerate your mind Give you Rule Brittania, gassy beer, page three Two weeks in Hispania and sunday striptease Meanwhile, the first Jesus says, "I'll cure it soon Abolish Monday mornings and Friday afternoons" The other one's out on hunger strike, he's dying by degrees How come Jesus gets industrial disease?

It's not so much that I do as that Thuryl does and his has made me paranoid about those of others. And really, does anyone want to imagine people doing... things... to Alorael while comatose? I think not.

Md, I would challenge any left-wing Australian thus: why, if Howard is an incompetent, caterpillar-eyebrowed midget, does he get re-elected? A comfortable majority of people in any country are idiots. Idiots vote not because they really particularly believe in something, but because it's the right thing to do. Which means they're likely enough to vote for the incumbent unless there's some huge incentive not to. It also means that the right-wingers win a lot more than they lose, because they, in political terms, can be said to REPRESENT the comfortable majority of idiots. They think in the short-term, they act in the short-term, and long-term consequences are obviously someone else's fault. There's no political repercussions to killing free education if you can just look at the drop in efficiency and overall quality of education later and shout "Boat people!", or whatever your politicians are in the habit of shouting. (With us, it's "Terrorists!"; thats a much better catch-all, if I do say so myself.) Even if that doesn't make a lick of sense to thinking people, who cares? The idiots believe it, and the media machine is usually behind them 100%. -------------------- AnamaFreak (3:59:56 AM): Shounen-ai to the MAX ...there really is nothing that can compare to hot gay sex with a mythological icon. --665 Posts: 2367 | Registered: Friday, June 27 2003 07:00 |

Jeff Vogel made Blades of Exile and then completely abandoned patching it, then sat on several community-driven third-party attempts to patch it. He continued to advertise his involvement with the game in spite of the fact that he gave no indication of caring about it. This was, mind you, before A1 was released. It wasn't a profit issue; BoE's biggest sales were still ahead of it. It was a caring issue. He refused to have any scenario design contests after the first (in spite of the fact it was called the First Annual!). Further contests have been driven by community action. His ineptitude in community relations with BoE designers in taking suggestions on BoA is legendary. He went as far as to suggest that BoE scenario designers, who are the biggest draw to this product, were not paying customers, and espoused all sorts of idiocy that having actually talked to more than two people who played RPGs would have refuted. (A player shouldn't have to adapt. Players want to play in a familiar universe. For the most part, players are not interested in tactical challenge. &c.) He refused to program in changes which would have been reasonably easy, and many of the reasonable and appropriate changes requested to the scenario creation dynamic by BoE designers after six years of experience have still not been granted. SW gamers fall into two camps: 90%+ of them, who recommend BoE first and foremost to new players, and the 10% remainder, who hate Exile's 'obsolete' graphics (we all know Avernum III is on par with NWN, after all), can't stand its engine/combatsystem/and so on, and tell new players to play Geneforge and jerk it into an electric socket. These 10% are insufferable wankers. With BoA out, Jeff Vogel has, again, shown a surprising uninterest in the works of the community he created. His scenario 'Diplomacy with the Dead' is supposed to play very much like a BoE scenario ca. 1998. I find it disturbing that Jeff Vogel makes rather grandoise attempts to claim the support and close-linkedness of the SW community, and at the same time acts more detached from it than the average entering newbie. ('Players don't care about plot and action', he says to people who coined the phrase 'Monty Haul' and consider Alcritas, Bixler, and Stareye living gods, 'they want to play scenarios for phat lewtz'. 'It's unreasonable for designers to cripple reasonable characters,' he says to the people who consider On A Ship to Algiers and Tatterdemalion masterworks, 'if I want to win a scenario with a Conan-style sword-swinger, I should be able to.') Ignorance as to what the community wants and why is nothing new among game designers. I doubt Sid Meier (who shares a LOT with Jeff Vogel in terms of game design aesthetic and philosophy) would know what the most popular Civ III Conquests scenarios are at present, and why. On the other hand, I doubt Sid Meier would run around saying that he's a bigger expert on what Civ fans like than any Civ scenario designer around. And, of course, I'm going to get flamed by random idiots who have no idea what I'm talking about on the sole basis of a game indicative of creative malaise which is essentially a poor fusion of Pokemon and Fallout being the best thing since sliced bread. So be it; won't make me wrong, though.

By way of response, here is the ELO classic 'Mr. Blue Sky' in French. La soleil brille en ciel Il y a pas nuage Il ne pleut plus Tout le monde est jouant Et tsé c'est un beau jour nouveau (Oh oh oh) En courant sur l'avenue Voyons comme la soleil brille brillamment Dans la ville sur les rues ou il y avait dommage Monsieur Ciel Bleu habite ici aujourd'hui (choeur) M. Ciel Bleu, dites-nous pourquoi vous vous avez caché pour longtemps (longtemps) Comment est-ce nous nous trompons? M. Ciel Bleu, dites-nous pourquoi vous vous avez caché pour longtemps (longtemps) Comment est-ce nous nous trompons? Âllo M. Bleu, il nous plaît soire avec vous Voyez tout que vous fait à nous Tout le monde soure pour vous Hé toi avec la visage belle Bienvenue à la race humaine Un célébration, M. Ciel Bleu attend là Et nous avons attendu aujourd'hui (Oh oh oh) (choeur) Âllo M. Bleu, il nous plaît soire avec vous Voyez tout que vous fait à nous Tout le monde soure pour vous Âllo M. Bleu, il nous plaît soire avec vous Voyez tout que vous fait à nous Tout le monde soure pour vous M. Bleu vous l'avez fait bien Mais il arrive, M. Nuit Il rampe à vous, et il vous mette un main sur l'épaule Oubliez-lui, je me souviens de vous comme Je me souviens de vous comme ceci (choeur, instrumental, fin) [ Saturday, April 24, 2004 13:37: Message edited by: Nemo Custer Impune Lacessit ] -------------------- AnamaFreak (3:59:56 AM): Shounen-ai to the MAX Misogynism is the wave of the future, but it sure pisses the womenfolk off.

The Presidential Fleet of Furissa have made steady gains from pacts and main force against minor island people; some peaceful, some savage, and many now under the protectoracy of the Furissans. In their steady expansion south, however, they have run into a large, factionized civilization now known in vague terms as the Sea People. The Sea People have so far proven to be staunchly anti-Divinist, and are a powerful foil to the Furissan navy. A small, elite cadre of merchants with vague ties to President Guisseau have begun exporting an odd, new textile, much like silk only many times more durable and highly receptive to enchantment. The source is, as yet, a secret, but many of the southern Valorimian states, between the continual threat of Furissan claimancy and expansion, the demand from mages in one of the few areas still friendly to them, and the obvious opportunity shot given by the war with the Sea People, have been driven to the brink of war by it. Admiral Gennabont, the leader of the mercenary fleet and one of the most prominent components of Divinist missionary work in the South Seas, seems to be the natural choice of Guisseau for the Imperial candidate. Then again, wars have started with Valorim over as little as the Furissans sending a delegate to the Committee of Electiors.

Generally, buying a house and a second car tends to indicate that it's not that they can't afford to put you through college, which is the concern of the state, but that they don't want to.
