Inkstand's right.

Alo, you're on the right track, but not quite.

Hint: try to avoid being fooled by the word cabin.

My thunder comes before the lightning;
My lightning comes before the clouds;
My rain dries all the land it touches.
What am I?


A volcano?

A bushfire?

Neither are correct, but that is more my fault than yours. I didn't really word the question properly.

I meant more that they were both young, strong, healthy, free-of-disease people. However, they are not nessecarially in a state free of disembowelment.

...yeah, keep guessing.

1: What walks on four legs at dawn, two at noon, and three at evening?

Man.

2: I wear white at morn, I wear green at noon, I wear yellow at afternoon, and I wear red at night. What am I?

A tree.

Here's one:

I am an eight letter word.

I have kst as my middle, in my beginning, and my end.

What am I?

Also:

Two men were in a cabin in the woods. They were dead. They had both died through no fault of their own, and were not killed by any natural disaster or animal. They had not been murdered. They would both have been a perfect picture of health if they were alive. How did they die?

Of course, I think abortion should be stopped altogether, but...

As long as it is legal, I think both parents should have to agree before the abortion is made.

That is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard.

A significant amount of the debate on abortion is about the fact that when the parents break up, or one of them wants to abort the child and the other doesn't, the ethics of the situation become somewhat fuzzy.

But making it so that both parents would be forced to agree means that unless the father chooses to sign a bit of paper, the woman is stuck with the child. In other words, this gives the father absolute veto power. On the other hand, if the mother wants an abortion, but the father thinks she shouldn't abort it, then there is no abortion again.

Oh, and I hope nobody is idiotic enough to claim that children should not be aborted when the woman was raped or when her life is in danger.

Well whatever the creature is, let just hpoe it is one of the new creation that shaper could create in GF3.
That would not be fun.

I am willing to bet it is just one of the old figures, like a drayk or a glaahk or possibly a drakon, except graphically modified so that it has an utterly useless glowing affect, is standing in the middle of a pentagram and has explosions occur at it's feet every minute. Also, it will have a pointless name modification, such as "Inferno Demon" or "Opulent Horror"

I used to play WoW, but then again I used to play Everquest.

WoW is way, way, way more linear than Everquest.

I got bored at about level 13.

Or, you can just catch the orb in the beam if you are lucky. Not sure if this will work with the latest version, though.

The Universe in General
Shock Trooper

Gravity is not in fact a dimension. I find the best way of explaining this is the rubber sheet analogy.

Take a sheet of rubber, streched out like a trampoline. Place a few metal balls on it, and notice that the rubber, which was previously flat, two-dimensional, bends in a third dimension, due to the depression made when you place the rubber ball.

The third dimension is not gravity, but the affects of the rubber sheet bending into the third dimension are.

Now, apply it to a three-dimensional universe (the rubber sheet), with planets as the metal balls.

The Universe in General
Shock Trooper

There's also the fact that light, and all it's wavelengths (eg. radio waves, microwaves), is not made up of particles - not exactly. It's made up of weird particle-waves that act like particles some of the time and waves the others. As are almost all other subatomic particles (any contradictions?).

I have my own opinion on the multiple universe/creation of the universe theory. It involves black holes, multidimensional bending, and time as either an infinite loop or just infinite in all directions.

It's rather strange, and I doubt it would hold up to criticism, but it is what I currently believe in, as it seems at least as sound as any other, and if anyone asks, I suppose I'll air it.

Nickels and kobolds - Greek semi-evil spirits, sort of like imps or goblins. Location: pretty much everywhere, but mainly greece. They got elements on the periodic table named after them.

Article - Rollick in Blades of Avernum Editor

Actually, it is technichally possible to mix rollick and grit as much as you want, so long as you do it in separate parts of the scenario, ie the first half of the scenario is very rollicky until you get onto a ship or something, and then it becomes very gritty. Or, the scenario begins grittily but opens out into rollickyness. Or any combination of the above.

Also, the Sighing Mountain example is another way to mix rollick and grit, of course.

EDIT: After reading The Creator's post, I'll just say "Point taken" rather than argue, probably because I agree.

Great article.

Well written. Concise. Both sides of the argument.

Meaningful examples.

Sentence fragments.

But really, it is a good article.

You can't. I believe the game itself tells you that it's impossible. He's just deranged enough to believe that you might be able to.

Just kill him and take his stuff.

Has anybody tried changing it? Putting something like

question = "Eugene"; when the creature's real name is William? Would it work? If it did, it could be useful for disguised creatures or some such.
