No. It's just that the graphics are messed up in BoA because of the corescendata script. Kel mentioned this somewhere, but I don't know where off-hand.

Slith Avatars in A1-3 looked totally different.

Umm... THAT is the effect Vespucci asked about.

I imagine that the spells last longer, and are possibly stronger, for example blessing might give +4 to hit at level one, and +6 at level two.

All this is based on theory though. I haven't extensively tested this out. Slarty may have though...

Gently remind him that

and (less importantly?)...

b) With you encased in a glass box, and with only a limited supply of oxygen/coffee, he won't be able to communicate with the world through you for much longer. Which would, ironically, make him a mime...

So having an unfinished work doesn't disqualify me?

I totally forgot about that. And I asked, and you told. There was next to no forcing at all.

And no. You don't get away that easy.

Yes, it is :P They are interesting and creative in other ways.

And Jewels is uber-lucky... normally her writing for BoE would remove her from my list.

And Dinitradin. If that is how you spell your name.

Now that you mention, it, yes. Yes I did. Which is a poor excuse for making a shrine, but meh.

I really ought to keep a list somewhere... so I shall do it here. :)

Ahem...

The Wonder-inducing List of Nikki's SpiderWeb Idols*

(In no particular order)

Arancaytar
Nicothodes
Jewels
"Lenny" Marlenny "Latina"
Brody "Alex" Peterson
Spy.there
Dikiyoba
Alorael


And that's all I can think of for now... I'm basing all that on people I think I've said worshipper-esque things about. I may have missed some out.

The non-speaking guys are funnier, therefore they are what you meant :P

NWN always seemed a bit... I don't know. I never liked it. And I once tried to play Baldaurs Gate 2 (I think....) on the PS2, and just didn't like it. Maybe it's a knee-jerk reaction to having characters that actually move.

That said, Final Fantasy always manages to capture my interest.

I am hereby stealing this idea, and having a dungeon in my scenario filled with mimes.

And I'm deadly serious.

Fenwick, Nethergate might be a better purchase than A3 or A4, but don't just take our word for it. Try out the demo. :)

AGB - I would have made it longer. Much longer. The bad guy would have killed others, and there would be a nice twist where the player thought that somebody else was doing it. Otherwise, it's not *that* bad.

With TV, I'm trying to get lots and lots of dialogue, and characters the player will care about. Which means I'll probably hate it for being too wordy,

More poetry, since you all love it so much... :P

It has dreams above its station
Whores hide behind its blinds.
I pity all that live here,
Like they pity Im around.

Far across the marshes, well,
The swamps they call the streets,
We walk a little, you take a leak
Then we slope behind the gym.

In the shadow of the hall
I stop and seize your arm.
Were going to defile this sacred place,
Well blaspheme against the stone.

A cigarette or two later,
As were walking through the dark
You give me your phone number
And invite me to your room.

If you're using scripts which use tick differences, (and I can't think of any examples... is abilnpc one?) then I imagine so, yes. Luckily, I'm not planning on using any script other than basicnpc, so this isn't a problem for me, and so really I'm not sure what the effect would be.

You should be able to work around it though< I'd have thought.

All the poems here are amazing. I loved yours Marl, which is why I told you to post it in the first place. :P

And Riibu - your short stories...wow. I loved the change in styles in the first one. It actually made me well up. Thank you.

And Kel, I get it. I think. Using the sonnet to this end has been done before, notably by Shakespeare. But still...

Poem of the week goes to Salmon. But only for making profanities an essential part of his work. Huzaar!

And Riibu, happiness is nice - I'll get to work writing something joyful, since I'm actually feeling good. Until then...

White Noise

“Oh blessed be the lonely”
The choir sings, it lies,
“And blessed are the quiet”
It sways and then it sighs.

Silence.

Then the tolling of a bell,
That echoes round the pews,
And the murmuring of parishioners,
Sharing virtuous Christian views.

Past the vigil of the dead
The throng of people fade,
Below budding purple blossom,
Children play within the shade.

And in the back seat of a car,
A child rests his head,
And sings so low, so full of woe:
“Oh blessed be the lonely”
