You can get Exile pretty dirt cheap at this point, though ($25 for the whole trilogy).

Wikipedia is pretty good for basic facts, like the date of the Norman Conquest of England or the structure of the dactylic hexameter. It's also pretty good for a base-level explanation of things, like what bacteria are and what they do. Citing it in a casual argument seems fine, and if disputes over those facts come up, one can always appeal to a more authoritative source of facts afterwards.

More importantly, most of the time it is cited here, it is cited for things that are clearly true in correction of ignorance, rather than cited for things that are opinion-based in support of an opinion. That is, Wikipedia is cited as a source of bricks with which to build an argument, rather than as the whole brick wall of the argument itself.

BoE really, really doesn't count. :P

Fixed, along with a slight fix in the description of DaC. New version up. Check the readme to see that it is v1.2.3.4.

By the way, which version of Exodus are you playing? If you're playing v1.1, continue. If you're not, you might want to consider starting over. The next couple of dungeons after the Vahnatai Lab have been shortened considerably for the new version.

However, it simply is not the rule in English. It once was. But under no stretch of the imagination can that be considered the case today. The vast majority of English speakers do not restrict preposition movement in that way whether in speech or in writing, casual or formal.
I can understand wanting to distinguish between rules that prescribe proper written English and rules that describe standard use in English, but simply denying the existence of the former seems weird to me. (You radical descriptivist. :P )

Moreover, your disagreement with me is over a matter of opinion. What you're describing is the point of view of a descriptivist. What I'm describing is the point of view of a prescriptivist. Unless you're a descriptivist who believes that others' opinions are simply wrong and does not think that they are merely not preferable (a hilarious hypocrisy, if so), you should simply point out that what I said is only true from one point of view (and "a long time ago" only has anything to do with it if you're a descriptivist).

An honorable quest! One place to go that may assist you: the Archive, which has every known BoE scenario. It should have everything that is available, and if you manage to find something that it doesn't have, e-mail me, because I'd like to put it up.

I'm not sure where you think you are, but you happen to be posting on the Blades of Exile forum on the Spiderweb Software site. The people here are the "anybody" to ask about it, and this place is the "anyplace" to ask about it. :P

There's also the Lyceum, which has less traffic but is also a good place to look for help.

Kelandon, would this be more properly stated
"You know of whom I speak"?

Er, yes, although I'm not the only grammar demon around here, so anyone else could just as easily have answered this. It is true, however, that prepositions have always been taken much more closely with their verbs than with their objects (note Latin, Greek, etc., where they are prefixed to the verbs), and other Germanic languages (German, for one) have no problem with prepositions coming at the end of a sentence. But this is the rule in English, arbitrary as it may be.

An almost meaningless but nice sounding prefix.
Not true! "Meta" often refers to "after"! Thus, Aristotle's Metaphysics was the stuff that came after his Physics! The way that "after" turned into "beyond" turned into "pompous" is an interesting feat of linguistic mutation.

One of the greatest transitions in the entire Greek language (and, hilariously, the way that Xenophon's history of the Peloponnesian Wars begins) is "meta de tauta," "after these things."

There is nothing more annoying than someone saying just, "This scenario is glitchy." That's not helpful. At all. I need to know where and when and how.

Yeah, I was already planning to cap Summon Shade for non-god parties (because of Thuryl's reasoning). It's a little bit more involved than changing a single number, though, so it wasn't going to happen at that very moment.

EDIT: New version up. Check the readme to note that it is v1.2.3.3.
