I actually tried to start a discussion about Lost Souls right after the shift from GC to RWG. It sort of worked. Lost Souls is actually pretty fun. I don't think I'll ever register it, but I'll keep playing the demo all the way through about once every two or three years. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

I would imagine that the old "recite the alphabet backwards" or "walk a straight line" tests would be adequate, though — if you're so out of it that you can't do that, you shouldn't be driving, no matter whether the cause is alcohol, marijuana, or fatigue. It may not catch everyone, but it'd be enough. Obviously the tax money from any legalization should go directly into education, prevention, and treatment programs, including advertising cab services for the intoxicated.

quote:However, you would agree that a decrease in the number of deaths would be an advantage, right? It's not a clinching argument, but it's still a single argument in favor. The problem is that legalizing murder creates other problems that outweigh this advantage, not that this would not be an advantage. That is, the general argumentative form is sound, even though it would not win all discussions by nature of its form. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

quote:Uh, let's try this again. Something will happen either way. If it's illegal, many other associated bad things will happen. If it's legal, those bad things will not happen. I'd chose legality. If organized murder actually wouldn't increase more than the decrease of collateral damage, we would have to seriously examine the possibility of legalizing murder. The problem is that collateral damage is fairly small in comparison to attempted but failed murders. It's a false analogy. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

MM WAS A HORRIBLE MOD In other news, an anonymous source close to the Office of the Pink and Pretty Page reports that Kelandon "might be thinking about considering planning to size up the possibility of an announcement of candidacy."

You might want to, you know, read the other topic. Alec's first long post there explains it pretty clearly. EDIT: That said, TM's incomprehensible/wrong on a couple of counts. Alec said PCP would be recognized as bad, not illegal.

I only attempted to connect scenarios that were not alphabetically consecutive. This archive, as of right now, is designed for people who already know what they're looking for and just want to be able to download it.

As soon as I recover from building this thing, I'll send Brett a list of scenarios that Alexandria is missing. Maybe later on today or tomorrow I'll do it. By the way, if anyone has any of the "lost" scenarios (listed on the front page of the site), particularly "Island Visitors" or "Triad," which are not known to be lost, I'd like them. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

The Archive In light of ongoing discussions of Alex II and its failure to materialize, and in light of the laudable efforts by several members of the community to track down old, obscure scenarios, and in light of the fact that the Blades community appears to have completed its transition in adjustment to BoA, and most importantly in light of my recent acquisition of 150 megs of extra webspace, I've decided to set up a new scenario archive. That's right, a new scenario archive. It's pretty basic: not searchable, no additional information about each scenario, basically just a list of scenario names and a bunch of corresponding zip files. I wanted to go from nothing to a functional archive in as short a time as possible, so it has no frills whatsoever. I also have not gone through and checked the ~275 scenarios to make sure that they are the most recent released versions. I know that scenarios go through a number of updates that don't necessarily get reflected on Spiderweb or other hosts, so some of the versions may be outdated. If you find any that are, please let me know. However, I expect not to have to do regular updates, since the majority of BoE scenarios are pretty well set in stone at this point: Tatterdemalion is not likely to get a re-write any time soon, nor, I would think, is Redemption. So why do this? Why, when Alexandria and Spiderweb both already do something like this? First of all, because Spiderweb has been notoriously negligent and Alexandria, though much better, is missing a bunch of scenarios and relies on other hosts for most of the rest of its scenarios — meaning that when other sites go down or Spiderweb flakes, Alexandria loses these scenarios. The Archive hosts everything that it carries, so these scenarios will not just disappear. I have a complete backup of the archive on my computer in a separate folder that I will never touch, and I'm going to put it on my new computer as well, so that it will never go down. The second reason to do it is that none of the scenario archives are complete. Alexandria is missing close to 100 scenarios, and Spiderweb is missing even more, and even together they're missing ~25 scenarios. Most of these are fairly inconsequential scenarios (The Isle of Serin, Minimalism), but some are fairly significant (Dirty Gold) that can only be found at archives designed to catch the ones that slip between the cracks, like the one at The Blazing Blade or TrueSite. A few rather important scenarios (Tomorrow, Roots) cannot be found anywhere but the designer's own personal page. Hence this site. If anyone spots any errors (typos, corrupted downloads, bad links, etc.), please let me know. If any designers would prefer that I not host their scenarios here, let me know. Everything is in its initial-release stage, which means there may still be a few screw-ups here and there. And have fun playing! By the way, in the process of collecting all of these scenarios, sorting them, and putting them together in the list, I have had my most brilliant idea yet: I have decided that I will make a BoE scenario entitled Doom Demon Echoes IV: The Lost Island of the Valley of the Big Quest for the Lair of the Undead Goblins and the Revenge of the Dragon-Killing Moon-Sword.

quote:This is the point I'd like to know more about. Does anyone know of any research into this, or any relevant comparative statistics from the Netherlands or other countries? I tend to think that heavy marijuana use would not increase at all: it's not like tobacco, which is addictive, so therefore people smoke a pack or two per day, but rather it is an occasional thing for almost every user. And if occasional use rises slightly (and by occasional I mean getting high a few times per year or less), then why do we care? It's not a public health concern at that point. But this is just my guess, which I admit is grounded on nothing but my own thinking on the matter. Does anyone actually know? EDIT: And if outside commenters should shut up and let you two debate, let us know. I'll oblige.

They are definitely two different waterways. Fortunately, the Fort Draco waterway is small(ish), so finding your boat shouldn't be too bad. And yes, the nervous-breakdown guy is somewhat important, and Solberg will tell you something related to that if you know what to ask for.
