Eirik pondered at the matter for some time and then spoke. "I'm but a simple mercenary, of no great courage or mind. Fighting the evil that dwells beneath our feet, the necromancers and Jesitonia, is a task for those of a stronger spirit than me." He paused for a moment. "Nontheless, I do have some knowledge of the arts of warfare. "I will stand in guard here alongside Kel-Aziz and fight back whatever they will throw at us."

Exile 3 : a love story. Found it on a demo CD from Mikrobitti, probably back in -96 or -97. My first game ever? Hmmm. Maybe some strange Russian variant of Tetris? You could watch crude pictures of circus animals and clowns while you played. Oh, and there were also some pictures of dancing ballerinas! Ah yes, the ballerinas... *quickly glances over his shoulders in order to make sure that nobody's looking and then starts searching the Tetris game* Posts: 756 | Registered: Monday, August 4 2003 07:00 |

Yup, have ye the most merry Halloween! Infostrike: Halloween was originally an Irish feast founded by the Celts. During the feast it was thought that the spirits of the ancestors would walk the land, and thus people wore horrifying masks to scare them back to the underworld. Since Halloween also combined features from some harvest feasts, people ate all kinds of food and later it became common to visit one's neighbours and party with them. It's nice to see that traditions are living on (although I think the Americans have commercialized it a bit too much). Posts: 756 | Registered: Monday, August 4 2003 07:00 |

If you were Sandy, you wouldn't feel honoured. In fact, you would most probably not feel anything, since some fireworks would just have fried your little rodent brains and teared your furry body apart. Violence directed towards animals is wrong, boys and girls. Do not attempt it. If you really have to go kicking someone you should target a human. Most of us have probably at least deserved it.

IC: Eirik walked back and forth without really knowing what to do. Galen lay buy his feet. It seemed as if he was sleeping now, and the healer had said that the wanderer probably was going to be fine, but Eirik had a nasty feeling that the whole business wasn't over yet. The healer had been right in one thing though. Wanderers were strange people. On top of all Lynn had disappeared somewhere, and everyone seemed to be a little jumpy. The woman, Celisto, had explained something about overlords and necromancers all around the city and that certainly wasn't what he had wanted to hear. Celisto had also been interrupted by a strange fellow, and Eirik was feeling pretty dumbfounded for the moment. Combined with the company of the occasionally moaning Galen, it was not a very nice feeling. The woman had summoned them to shrine but proposed no plan. What was he supposed to do? Eirik decided it was time for him to go meet Celisto. That was the only way he could clear things up a bit. He looked at Galen who lay by his feet and realized he couldn't just leave him there. For a moment Eirik hesitated and then called upon one of the adventurers standing nearby. "Hey, you over there! Could you go fetch Celisto? You know, the woman that called upon us all. I would really, really like to ask her a few things. I think she is somewhere in the shrine but I have a sick man to watch over!" The adventurer nodded and turned to go. OOC: I was hoping that maybe someone could be that "adventurer". Anyone is fine with me. Posts: 756 | Registered: Monday, August 4 2003 07:00 |

quote:Well yes, that may be correct in more simple matters, where one actually can prove to be right. But, in spiritual matters I find it hard to think that one could be in the right where another couldn't. If I believe in God (or anything else, for what it matters), who are you to say that I shouldn't? You can't prove (or can you...hmm..  ) that my belief is wrong and thus it isn't something worth arguing about.I don't fully get why beliefs without evidence should be considered worthless. All religions (and of course all other unexplainable things) are based on (what I know) things that probably never can be explained. I guess that's why they are called beliefs. Anyway, religions don't appeal to the scientific part of the human mind, but rather to the emotional part. I have found, that people need something to believe in, in order to, in lack of better words, keep up their mental health. And I have sometimes wonder what the world would look like if each and every thing would have been perfectly explained and everything would have a rational reason. Nothing strange, nothing mysterious. Isn't it a horrible thought! Posts: 756 | Registered: Monday, August 4 2003 07:00 |

I certainly haven't got as much knowledge as you (Alex) when it comes to history, but I would still like to try to defend Christianity a little. First of all, I don't really think it's wise to compare the Greek culture with the Christian theology, since they are two totally different things. Science and philosophy can't be compared to the beliefs of a community. I know that this is one of the easier ways to solve the problem (we know what is right because we belive it's so) and I know it's hard to argue about a persons beliefs, but well, that's what theology is all about. What more, Christianity has undoubtedly had a great impact on our present moral understanding. The Greek's and the Roman's moral sense was hugely different from ours. In those days, things like pity and humbleness were seen as weaknesses and it was not before Christ introduced them that they gained popularity. This is actually very interesting. From nowhere came a man and started to preach about helping those in need, and he actually gained followers! This is strange since such thoughts had never been popular (maybe except in some Asian religions). And even without these spiritual matters, Christianity has developed our society in many ways. The ability to read and write and the preservation of a great amount of knowledge, a few to mention. Although the church during the Middle Age opposed many scientifical discoveries, they only did what they thought was best (a fundamental approach as to the Bible), as anyone of us would do. If they really were to believe in God, they couldn't just state that He was wrong, could they? The beliefs of someone can never be said to be wrong, since they are just that, beliefs. And a religion in which the beliefs aren't worth anything and don't need to be obeyed, isn't a religion. Posts: 756 | Registered: Monday, August 4 2003 07:00 |

Some strange Irish folk music from the ol' Green Isle. "Gone" by U2. "A night in Tunisia" as played by Dizzie Gillespie "Take the A train" as played by Duke Ellington and his band. Well, okay, I don't listen to all these at the same time. But, shall we say, during the last twenty minutes. Posts: 756 | Registered: Monday, August 4 2003 07:00 |

Eirik, who had just thought about having some rest, almost fell of his chair when the roof suddenly seemed to cave in behind him. He struggled to his feet and turned around just in time to see some strange blue-green lizard-like creature open its mouth and speak. "Everyone, Celisto wants to meet you all at the...shrine...I think you should go now". The next moment the creature was gone. Eirik heavily sat down * not another magical creature! * and turned towards the others. Lynn seemed to be calm enough but Galen, the strange man who called himself a wanderer, was nowhere to be seen. He was just about to point this out to Lynn when she spoke. "Do you know who this Celisto is? I have never heard of her. She wasn't with us in the battle today, was she?" "No, I don't think she was. What does it matter? Probably just another adventurer." Lynn looked at him squarely. "Of course it matters! She just asked us to come to the shrine, for heavens sake! Remember the place? That's where you almost got eaten! And who is she to command us in such a fashion? I'm not going anywhere until I get an explanation!" Eirik sighed. "You saw that...creature? Well, if she can command one of those, I don't want to make enemies with her. We haven't got anything to loose, either. I say we go. Just look around, many other are also going". Lynn thought about it for a minute and then reluctantly nodded. "If it leads to this making any sense." They both stood up and having ordered the Crimson Guard to follow, Lynn and Eirik started walking towards the door. They hadn't taken two steps before Eirik screamed and pointed towards a corner in the inn. There lay Galen, behind a table, looking very ill. They kneeled by his side. There was a big ugly scar across his back, and though Eirik didn't know anything about diseases, this one felt somehow strange. Suddenly he understood. "This must be infected by some zombie! God! We must find a healer fast!" He looked around but could see none. "This fellow is gonna be a goner! What should we do?" Lynn was firm. "We must take him with us. If many people have answered Celistos call, we will probably find a healer there as well. And being the shrine, perhaps even some medical equipment. Let's go!" They both lifted up the uncouncious Galen and started to walk towards the shrine. The sun stood high on the sky and Eirik sighed. At least that was an relief. OOC: Sorry for long post which could have been written shortly. EDIT: Changed blue into blue-green on Zephyr's suggestion.

Please, anything but some crappy space odyssey. But A4 (and E4, don't forget that!) would be nice. Although utterly un-necessary. And, it would probably ruin the whole structure of the series. I think Exile (A) was born to be a trilogy. There was the fall (E1), the raise (E2) and the victory (E3). BoE was just...well, it just didn't fit in. And most probably E4 (wasn't BoE the fourth Exile, BTW?) wouldn't fit in, either. Posts: 756 | Registered: Monday, August 4 2003 07:00 |

quote:What's so humiliating with being a newbie? At least in this case, age doesn't bring wisdom or anything like it (as I daresay I've noticed). I wouldn't mind being a newbie for the rest of my life, since being an oldbie really doesn't grant any advantages. It's what you say that matters, anyway. And yes, as paradoxal as it may seem, I'm not too happy about the increasing member number. There are way too many people answering every topic. Reading through all these posts (which you have to do in order to be able to write an at least somewhat intelligent answer) is really slow! So, I probably shouldn't be writing this, either.

This could be something. I'm just afraid I will have to decline since I'm already engaged in another RPG. On average, I think that there are a little bit too many RPG:s here (and elsewhere). I haven't (yet) sacrificed my life on the altar of nerdness, but should I decide to join each and every one of these RPG:s, I would probably have to do it. It's quite frustraiting. Good RPG:s here and there and everywhere but not the time to join them. *and having nagged enough, he is already gone* Posts: 756 | Registered: Monday, August 4 2003 07:00 |
