Which Spiderweb game would you like to live in in General
Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Friday, December 12 2003 18:06 Profile Homepage #16 I would not want to live in Nethergate. Having people described as old while in their twenties is disconcerting. I don't know enough about Geneforge Land to say anything, but Valorim seems nice enough. And hey, it produces skribbane! —Alorael, who prefers E3's skribbane to A3's, so he'll have to go for Exile. Posts: 14579 \| Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00

Tusks and trunks open all manner of intriguing possibilities, although proper caution must be exercised when dealing with a multiple ton creature of uncertain temperament. —Alorael, who can't think of any bigger furries, but if anyone else would like to volunteer one, he'd be happy to learn more.

Merry Christmas in General
Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Thursday, December 11 2003 12:55 Profile Homepage #42 Isn't pagan a blanket term for anything that's not [insert religion here]? Well, Christians, Jews, and Muslims seem to have come to teh accord that while they are all non-pagan, they can mutually describe each other as infidels. Not that it makes any difference, but the terminology is very important. —Alorael, who has never understood how people who have never had another religion can be infidels. Calling converts that would make more sense. Posts: 14579 \| Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00

Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Wednesday, December 10 2003 18:43 Profile Homepage #47 I think you've vastly overestimated the level of technology available. Yes, there are electric lights. Yes, there are elevators. Both are probably at their most primitive levels, extremely expensive, and not available for one man's secret bunker unless he happens to be an unbelievably rich man. The electric fence seems a bit out of place for what really seems like a mid 1800's setting. The hologram I can accept as an illusion, but the electric fence doesn't quite work. Here's where I really have trouble: quote: Originally written by Sherlock Holmes - MSW: He then proceeds to bring with him at least two of most of the handguns and shotguns he has displayed. Among them, he has TT33s, Walter PPKs, Glocks, 22 Magnums, Ruger Magnums, shotguns, double-barreled shotguns, elephant guns, grenades, and mines of all sorts. He then loads a huge amount of ammo in his cart for the guns, along with a large supply of the materials and mechanisms necessary to create lots more if need be. ...Opening each of the cases, he pulls out several items of Kevlar armor, with one for each section of the body. He decides to bring a good supply of each of these armors with him. That is way too modern. You'll notice that the revolver is the height of firearms. Swords and polearms are still the order of the day. Kevlar and Glocks are really, really out of place. [Edit: When TM said that the army used gliders, I assume he meant gliders. Basically cloth stretched over a frame. Since these things are carrying ballistas, I guess they must have hot air balloons attached or something. No, they don't make sense, but they aren't high tech.] —Alorael, who of course is judging this on his own. TM may disagree. But it seems that everyone else is operating under this assumption, and pitting muskets against shotguns and revolvers against magnums is too unbalanced.

Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Wednesday, December 10 2003 13:33 Profile Homepage #41 As the last conscript wandered out of the arsenal, looking befuddled and awkwardly toting a rifle, Kuhr sighed. They certainly weren't any guns to be proud of, but they were his charges and he knew he'd be lucky to get a quarter of them back intact. Fool commanders, shoddy weapons, and men who didn't know one end of a gun from the other... Another messenger entered, looked around, and settled his gaze on Kuhr. "You are Sergeant Ahurav?" Kuhr nodded. "Orders for you, sir." He saluted smartly and left as quickly as he had come. "Hmm," Kuhr mused. "At least some of our army isn't worthless. There may be hope for us." Delgar mumbled something noncommittal. "It seems I've been attached to the platoon of one Lieutenant Abdulhadi as an expert on firearms, ballistics, and artillery, and that I should meet him at HQ." "What should I do?" Delgar asked. "No recruiting officer has shown up." "From what I know of the lieutenant, he's open-minded enough to accept someone with irregular armaments and capabilities. I'll introduce you, and mark my words, we'll all be glad to have another man." "You don't even know what I can do," Delgar pointed out. The sergeant shrugged. "It doesn't matter. If you can shoot straight, we need you. Hell, if you can spit straight we need you." "I'd rather not have my abilities wasted. I'm no marksmen, but my talents may prove useful in an irregular situation." "Abdulhadi is not one to waste anything. Coming?" The illusionist nodded and the two stepped out of the emptied armory and into the torrential downpour outside. —Alorael, who will restrict the use of his signature to necessary OOC's from now on in deference to the RP. Yes, he will actually post without it sometimes. Posts: 14579 \| Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00

I'd bet on the former, as there really is no reason he would take it out. —Alorael, who supposes that hasn't stopped Jeff before. But really, racial responses are too much fun to be left out (beta testers, make a note if necessary). Posts: 14579 \| Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00

Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Tuesday, December 9 2003 13:14 Profile Homepage #23 Okay, they're not a race. They're a category, and still a cool one. I was thinking of the more human (or elven) faeries, not the sprites, fomorians, or other sundry fey. —Alorael, who just has to love Sylak. He's like X, only he actually does something. Sure, the lack of an anvil spell is a big minus, but the Nethergate is quite a nifty gadget. Posts: 14579 \| Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00

I think it's the real thing, as scary as that is. 2. It would be "You are too gay," not "You are to gay." —Alorael, who presents this as constructive criticism. Now eat your less than perfect words!

Besides, many of those topics would have been locked even on Misc. —Alorael, who is in accord with Morgan. TGM is indeed lying. You may not always want to post, especially in the abuse forums, but you have the right and the ability to do so. Posts: 14579 \| Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00
The next RP ... in General
Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Tuesday, December 9 2003 12:43 Profile Homepage #21 But SMoE had a long active membership behind him without any difficulties and deliberately set out to be obnoxious. That doesn't excuse his filibuster posting, but it does mean that everyone knew he could be a good member. Constant, low level obnoxiousness is much harder to get past. On the other hand, I don't think STD is that bad. Spiderweb has a habit of picking scapegoats and he seems to be it. I'd appreciate it if you could at least tone down your taunts a bit. —Alorael, who would also like to advise that there are better ways to handle unwanted nicknames than going ballistic. Ignore it and it will either go away or stop bothering you. Posts: 14579 \| Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00

Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Monday, December 8 2003 16:42 Profile Homepage #13 Kuhr Ahurav muttered to himself as he stalked through the arsenal, eyeing the guns distrustfully. He had checked them all earlier that morning, but it was so hard to trust his assistants. They didn't have proper respect for a fine piece, not at all. Why, just a week ago they'd tried to teach some poor infantryman how to shoot and nearly gotten him killed loading it wrong! Incompetence, everywhere. A guard interrupted his vengeful thoughts about ramming a priming rod down his assistants' throats. "Sergeant, sir? The Gliders will be attacking soon. We need all the guns you have." Kuhr sighed. It was what the guns were for, but he almost worried more about their fates than the soldiers who would fall. Idiots were a copper a dozen on the front lines, but a fine weapon and good powder horn were hard to come by, especially in this dump of a city. "Send the men in. I'll see to it that they're properly outfitted. And by all that's holy, make sure you at least give me men who know how to load!" The messenger saluted and left. Kuhr lifted a bandolier laden with a very fine brace of pistols and an ample supply of bullets and powder and buckled it on over his immaculate uniform. He adjusted it, ran a hand through his close-cropped hair that was black under its coating of gunpowder, and straightened his shoulders in a hopeless attempt to make his compact build look more intimidating. With one last glance at the fading bilious yellow walls of the arsenal and a feeling approaching nostalgia in his heart, he waited for the first requests for armaments. And after all too short a time, he knew, his guns would all be gone and he would have to report for duty. He was not a religious man, but he prayed fervently that no incompetent bureaucrat would assign him to a position entirely unsuited to his skills. It would be just like the military nabobs to waste his talent just like they wasted the potential of firearms in favor of the clearly outmoded melee weapons of yesteryear. —Alorael, who hopes that the character is clear. For those who can't follow or can't be bothered to read, Kuhr is a supply sergeant and gun lover. He knows how to use them, how to care for them, and even how to repair them in a pinch.

Nethergate could be stuck in there as well, but it has no original races. Sidhe are cool, but not original. —Alorael, who will have to go for the vahnatai for being really the only race that isn't a fantasy regular. Them or the GIFTS.

I happen to find the above post hilariously funny. If you have to ask why... don't. Just don't. —Alorael, who reads very fast and very often. He actually tries to read less now because it's too much of a pain to go to the library all the time. And there's something to be said for savoring the expectations for a book for longer than a few hours. Posts: 14579 \| Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00

You know France and Spain were always meant to be one nation, and the USA would clearly be much improved by becoming fifteen smaller countries. —Alorael, who wouldn't want to be a world dictator. That's a bit too much responsibility. He may wish he could impose laws now and then, but he'd hate to have to enforce them. Posts: 14579 \| Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00

Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Saturday, December 6 2003 09:33 Profile Homepage #18 There are many countries called the Republic of So-and-So or the United States of Whatever. They are called So-and-So or Whatever in everyday speech, and their citizens are So-and-so-ians or Whatevericans. Following that formula, there isn't really another term for citizens of the USA than American unless we become USAian. Estadounidense works, but it's excessively long and just as appropriate for Brazil as the USA. —Alorael, who is done ranting now, except to protest that he does not shoot polar bears. They're not nearly as much fun as pedestrians. Posts: 14579 \| Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00
