Aran, you're not big enough to threaten Ash. Dammit, even JV had to think twice. :)

Oh, and nice strategy.

Salmon, you will die a lonely, lonely death with only the entire back catologue of Nalyd's posts for company. Meat IS murder, kids. I don't wat my friends, do you? (First person to say "yes" gains 87 Fortitude, or something)

Also, a forum dedicated to Diki's stories would only work if...

Actually, it just wouldn't. There are just stories. You read them, and enjoy them. You don't then try and find references to neo-political movements, or whatever.

(P.S. I do not endorse violence towards anybody.)

So, yes, I have a BoA scenario, and would like you lovely people to test it for me. I only want maybe half a dozen, and I'm designing on Windoze, so if you have a Mac, you'll have to be able to convert graphics if you want to test (unless somebody is kind enough to do it for you).

Also, Diki, if you would be so kind, could you be my proof-reader again?

So, list name, email address, OS, and experience if you are interested please!

(And Enalya, I know you said you would, but could you just post here with email addresses and stuffs please? Ta muchly.)

Thanks, Nik xx

Where Is Shadowvale? in Nethergate
Shaper
Member # 3442

I was wondering last night if we would be able to pinpoint a rough location of Shadowvale on a map of England, and set about reading notes I'd collected from the game.

Thing is, everything seems to contradict everything else.

The two most important facts, in my opinion, are the geography of the place, and the ending text.

Right at the end of the game, we are told that Hadrian's Wall is built not far north of Shadowvale, which means that SV is up in the far north of England. That's okay, but the geography of Shadowvale doesn't fit with that. Since the entire game world is surrounded by mountains, I'd place it either in Wales, or in the Pennines. I'm going to say the Peninnes for now, since they are the most north.

However, they aren't northern enough, in my opinion, considering that Shadowvale is a small place.

So, I think if we find out what the size of SV is, from sign posts, or in-game descriptions, we might be able to get a better idea.

Anybody have any thoughts?

Clearly not. Flame wars should never be apologised for. Ever. What is said in a flame-war is like... I dunno. THE BIBLE or something.

And, in fairness, it wasn't really a proper flame-fest.

To the stoopid noobs: Never, ever be unimpressed be an Alex original in my presence. Ever.

Diki: I was planning on grunbling at myself, but I'd still need to make a topic to do it in... So I thought, "Why not be random and make them all look at Buddy Holly at the same time!"

Synergy: Firstly, they weren't random!! The only one I didn't already know and have planned was the Judy Garland one.

And thinking of Morrissey is a start. Pretty soon the world will listen [/shameless paraphrasing].

And Jewels, it's kinda weird that I used to spell my name "Niki". Then I realised it was just as androgynous as "Nikki" and quit. And rollerskating rocks. And yes. My hair is long again. I can't believe somebody remembered. There are pictures and EVERYTHING (expect them SOON (Maybe)).

The ingrediants can be found by walking onto large mushrooms, or checking in all the cabinets. There are enough for you to make as many potions as you need (two or three).

How ironic that my celebratory topic gets no celebratory posts... :(

Yup, you're right. Well done, and all that.

[/exasperation]

Edit: An explantation. I wanted to make a post-milestone topic at a number that meant something to me. So, it was either one in the 1950's, or one in the 1960's, because those decades rocked.

The only thing that meant anything to me in the 60's that I could post about were The Beatles, whereas in '59, Morrissey was born, and Buddy Holly died, and the whole Cuban business happened. And, of course, I adore Morrissey, and Holly, and Cuba, so, yeah. Tada!

That's only because you still type "lol" into posts, before realising we hate you for them. :P

Erm, I realise that I haven't grumbled lately, and I do apologise for that, but as soon as somebody I don't like posts a celebratory topic, I'll be back in full voice (I'm looking at three people in particular).

Also, I think you are slightly spammier than wise, considering that you're still posting here. But nobody's perfect. :P

I didn't use steel spines at all - playing as a lifecrafter, you don't particularly want to plan for being hit directly.

The only item enhancements I did use were the ones that boosted elemental resistance, but even then I had loads to sell afterwards.
