A Few Advance Notes On Geneforge 4 in Geneforge Series
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Tuesday, February 14 2006 15:26 Profile Homepage #68 quote: Originally written by Dikiyoba: Sliths are indeed reptiles, since they are described as "lizard men" in the Za-Khazi Run. Well, that's the question, isn't it? Are they men that resemble lizards (as the term "lizard men" would imply) or lizards that resemble men (less likely but also possible from "lizard men"). Men that resemble lizards could well be mammals — more men than lizard, if you will — but lizards that resemble men could be reptiles. I'm inclined to think that they'd need four-chambered hearts and other internal structures not common in reptiles in order to function the way they appear to. I mean, a slith without a proper mammal-like cardiovascular system wouldn't stand a chance in a pitched battle against humans, but a slith with a more advanced cardiovascular system (like that of birds) would slaughter humans outright. In other words, I think they're more like people that look like lizards than they are lizards that look like people. But seriously, do none of the slith females have breasts? I have to look this up now. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens. Smoo: Get ready to face the walls!

I really don't want to get into this with you, and I don't actually think poorly of you. That's all I really wanted to say, both online and in my last post. And I wasn't suddenly revealing what I've secretly thought of you for months and months or whatever; it just sort of came out wrong. So for the umpteenth time, I'm sorry.

Well, that doesn't necessarily mean anything. A few mammals are hatched from eggs. But does anyone remember a female slith having breasts (i.e. mammary glands -> mammal)? I can't, but that might just be because I wasn't paying attention.

What I was trying to do was tell Synergy that I had nothing personally against him, despite the fact that I had been disagreeing with him quite a bit recently. What I ended up doing, after that, was telling him that I thought that a bunch of what he had just said was idiotic, and then he unzipped his pants, pulled out some New Age buzzwords, and started waving them around. I just couldn't handle it. Synergy, I'm tempted to try to write an explanation and justification of what I said online, but I don't think that it would help the situation. Suffice it to say that I hope you can still remember the beginning of that conversation and recognize that the beginning was the part in which I said what I actually wanted to say, and also I apologize for the last part of the conversation on the condition that you bear in mind that you have completely false conceptions of who I am and what I think.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Tuesday, February 14 2006 07:29 Profile Homepage #183 Okay, so from what I've gathered from Wikipedia, Dutch uses a uvular approximant for its R. Some dialects of German do this, but some do not, so I'd be careful about calling it the Dutch/German R. Honestly, I think you'd be best served by just calling it a uvular approximant, and then stating that it is the R found in Dutch, some varieties of French, and some varieties of German. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

SupaNik, will you be my valentine? in General
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Monday, February 13 2006 13:50 Profile Homepage #62 I spent most of middle school and high school trying to figure out why certain people were attracted to certain other people. I came up with dozens of hypotheses involving certain characteristics that made people more attractive or less attractive, or elaborate preference lists that certain people had, or various other things. I tried every explanation that I could. Eventually, I decided that there was only one thing that made sense. Pheromones. Attraction is so bizarre, so unpredictable, and so counter-intuitive that I eventually had to start with the idea that people are attracted to each other based on invisible smells detectable only to our unconscious minds, so that if you like someone's pheromones, you will be attracted to that person. Then I could layer on additional explanations (if the person is butt-ugly, sometimes people will refuse the pheromone suggestions, etc.), but I had to start with pheromones, because the observed behavior was so random as to defy every other explanation. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

The nephilim language in The Avernum Trilogy
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Monday, February 13 2006 08:01 Profile Homepage #181 By the way, let me get this straight: R is isolation is pronounced like the English-language R — which is rather unusual sound — but in the context of certain vowels, it's a uvular trill (which is a completely different sound)? This would represent a really odd sound change — an original alveolar trill (presumably, if not a retroflex) which shifted in some positions to a retroflex approximant and in other positions to a uvular trill. This is possible, I guess, but strange. And how is stress or accent handled in your language? That's an integral part to pronunciation, after all. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Will Exile ever be carbonized? in The Exile Trilogy
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Sunday, February 12 2006 07:41 Profile Homepage #40 quote: Originally written by Spidweb: I won't be Carbonizing the Exile games. Sometimes, the old games just have to drift off into the past. (And the Exile games are over 8 years old now. OMG!) Reworking that ancient code would be a real pain. My time is much better spent working on new games. In that case, you'll find that your sales of Exile games will drop through the floor in a couple of years. You won't be making any money off of them, because only a very small handful of people will have computers that run OS 9. And how soon before Windows follows suit? Already the Lyceum is getting questions about compatibility issues with the latest versions of Windows. With that in mind, I have a suggestion: release the source for BoE. It would do you no harm, because you've rewritten the engines for your newer games so many times since then (a graphics rewrite for Nethergate, an couple of shifts for Avernum, a Carbonization for Avernum 3, an almost complete rewrite for Geneforge, and then another almost complete rewrite for Avernum 4) that the BoE engine doesn't even resemble the engine you're working with now. And you won't be making any money off of these games, because only a select few people will even be able to play them anymore. It won't hurt you, and it will help us a lot. You did a great thing by releasing the source of the scenario editor for BoA. In the time since it's been out, the community has added a 3D editing mode, a way of previewing icon adjustment, a "realistic" mode that shows line of sight, and more. We could do the same and more for BoE, which we've been dying to get our hands on ever since we started noticing its peculiar bugs, bugs that were too obscure and difficult to track down for you to fix, but that we, the community, have the time and the motivation to fix. But the problem is that the most frustrating bugs in BoE aren't in the editor; they're in the application itself! Jeff, in a little while, no one but the hardcore old-school gamers (people in this community) will be able to play Blades of Exile. It would be a great gesture to hand us over the game after we've made so many scenarios and done so much work on it. Giving us BoE would make the community happy, make your customers happy, and probably not cost you a dime. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

The nephilim language in The Avernum Trilogy
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Sunday, February 12 2006 07:11 Profile Homepage #175 Honestly, I disagree with Slartucker here. All verbs require a subject. Transitive verbs require an object. I think that saying that transitive verbs require a transitive subject just confuses the issue. Also, your table with tense suffixes could be clearer. It's probably worthwhile to explain on that same page the definitions of those nephil words for "past time" and others. It's also probably worthwhile to set up the table in such a way as not to imply that one would create a word that looks like this: "Malnaisehãmersim." (That's how it reads, straight across.) In addition, it appears that your verbs are going to end up being very, very long, all the time. Every single conjugated transitive verb in the system you've designed has to have a stem (at least one syllable, presumably), the suffix -nai, a personal ending (another syllable), and a tense ending (another syllable). That means that every conjugated verb has to be at least four syllables long. If that's the case, your language had better have pitch accent and plenty of open syllables or ellision, because it's going to be spoken at a very rapid speed. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.
