Who Likes Elo? in General
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Wednesday, September 7 2005 15:21 Profile Homepage #8 Okay, well, he's sort of a newbie, so let's at least try to explain. Woodstock, people around here appreciate proper spelling, capitalization, and grammar, because these things make your posts easier to read. Making a few mistakes here or there is okay, but at least try. And just in case no one has said it yet: welcome to the forums. Leave your sanity at the door — although in your case you may want to sample some of the sanities that have been left there and take a little bit in with you. In any case, I've only heard a song or two by ELO. They're not bad, but they're not something I'd wanted to hear regularly. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Lord Putidus in Blades of Avernum
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Wednesday, September 7 2005 06:21 Profile Homepage #9 quote: Originally written by Dragongirl: I like to do things right, so I used a pre fab party and was stunned that mage and priest are really no use. I couldn't survive the first battle and that rather dispirited me from the beginning despite my thinking that it is low level scenario. The reason that you couldn't survive the first battle is that you didn't use the mage and the priest. The reason that they're there is that they have different abilities now — you get a melee fighter, a melee/javelin thrower, a first aid expert, and a pure javelin thrower. They don't use spells anymore, but if you fail to use their new abilities, expect to die over and over again. Personally, I liked to switch the third and fourth characters and use the first character primarily as a melee figher and the second and (now) third as javelin throwers, with the fourth stepping in to do healing whenever needed. I didn't find the fights very hard when I did this. Also, low-level scenarios are not necessarily easier, nor are they supposed to be. quote: It is just not logical that the party would have the members with natural mage trait but without spell. Is it the oversight of the scenario maker? No — you're not really supposed to gain levels in this scenario, so it shouldn't matter much. I didn't want to muck with the party's traits, since you're not forced to use the pre-fab, and I didn't want to screw up someone's party more than I had to. If you don't like it, you don't have to have it. quote: Why not give the players four fighters then if no spell is expected to be used? You can use any party you like. If you think it would be easier with four fighters, make a four-fighters party and try it. I think you'll get killed immediately, because the javelin-throwers and first aid person are very useful, but it's up to you. quote: I would think that all things are put in the scenarios with a purpose - either as a quest or for the party's use, except for some scene decorators like bones, rocks, etc. Most items in my scenarios are for decoration, not for use.

Hurricane Katrina in General
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Tuesday, September 6 2005 18:14 Profile Homepage #71 quote: Originally written by Benny Boy: Just to clear this up to anyone who may have this mindset: George W. Bush is in no way the cause of the hurricane Agreed so far. quote: or any of it's effects. You say this so casually, as if it were that easy. I'm not an expert on disaster management, but it's pretty clear that someone in the national government mucked up pretty badly here — we had several days advance warning on this, no? Yet thousands died — and I'd have to say that the fact that at least one local congressman wants to punch W's lights out is a pretty good indication that he blundered. He didn't bring the winds or the flood, but he was probably part of the reason (although not the whole reason) that when the waters came, many people were still in harm's way. And if you don't want to classify that as an "effect" of the hurricane, I'd say you're playing semantic games. FEMA is definitely in some serious trouble here, too, as Toast pointed out earlier. It's definitely not all Bush's fault, but I think it would be disingenuous to say that he shares none of the blame. Eh, I don't mean to play politics here, but Ben's casual way with the truth gets to me. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Who are you? in General
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Sunday, September 4 2005 18:04 Profile Homepage #46 My SW-related biography, occasionally updated, is here. In real life, my name is Tom (but I get really annoyed if anyone from boards calls me that — don't ask why). I'm twenty years old and a third-year at U.C. Berkeley, majoring in Classical Languages (Greek and Latin) and minoring in Physics. I teach SAT prep with The Princeton Review for my monetary needs. Politically, I'm left-of-center both socially and economically, probably leaning towards European-style socialism (because Americans usually mean "communism" when they say "socialism"). My religion basically boils down to atheism, give or take. Also I hardly ever post, so you'll never get to know me at all. :P -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.
