I don't know. It sounded better in my head...

I understand what you're saying, however, this wouldn't work as it is simply "naming" and not actually "defining". For example: instead of calling cows "cows" I call them "unicorns". To me, those milk producing bovines are "unicorns" because that is what I have decided to call them.

Oh come on! I admit that Tom has nothing on Jensen, but he's definately good-looking. Especially when he smiles. And he's lost his shirt. :D Which seems to happen with fair frequency. :D

To Stug: I find that interest in the boards can wax and wane through the years. Don't be too certain that you might not become highly active again sometime in the future. Likely after a many-month absence. Absence makes the heart grow fonder after all!

This explains the many similarities I found in the discription to myself. Reading about Asperger's before (and reading about it now) I had wondered if I had it from the many descriptions that do fit me, but didn't quite think so because the parts that don't apply seem to be key.

It seems likely that I simply had a somewhat parallel developmental path.

Well, for the last hour I have been on these boards. For the hour before that I was laying in bed waiting for everyone to leave for work and school so I wouldn't have to deal them when I got up.

This thread is beginning to become a pain to eyes and mind. Is there something worthwhile that can be added to the discussion, or are we going to repeat the last 3-4 related topics?
Beginning? I think it got there in the first post. Those that don't know who TM is have an excuse, for everyone else: Honestly! What is with you people? Why do you all make such a big deal out of this?

First of all, I'm not so certain that being funny has ever been one of TM's greatest motivations for being as he is and I find it unlikely he will be returning (if he does) purely for the sake of your entertainment.

Second of all, as the last few months have shown, while he adds his own certain flavor to the boards, his presence or lack thereof hardly makes or breaks the community. Personally, I have nothing against him and wouldn't mind if he came back, as long as he no longer viciously attacks members and openly flaunts the CoC. The very reasons, in fact, that he was banned. I agree that TM certainly adds to the boards most of the time, but that is not an excuse for behavior that is inflammatory and offensive.

Somehow many of you seem to fail to understand that TM wasn't banned for being TM. He was banned for violating the CoC when he had repeatedly been warned and had just barely returned from a short ban.

If, when he comes back, he repeats the offences that got him banned, I think he should banned again, possibly permanently as he would have shown he is completely unwilling to make a small effort to avoid openly attacking and insulting people.

If, on the other hand, he does not repeat his offences, I think that the boards would indeed probably be a just bit more interesting for his being here and I would have no problem with him.

Basically, everyone needs to understand when the ban is up he will return or he won't and it's unlikely anything any of us have to say will affect that either way. Deal with it.

On behalf of the Committee for Pot-Luck Brunches and Cult Femur Awareness I am proud to announce the formation of the Sub-Committee of Cultish Potato Abuse.

On behalf of the Sub-Committee of Cultish Potato Abuse I am happy to announce the first Monthly Conspiracy of the Month Contest. The best conspiracy gets encoded into the background picture of the check we will use to buy a copy of Galactic Core. Richard White is known to occasionally cash these checks and thus we can get a message to His Spaceyness to contemplate and see if he likes it enough to instruct our implants to carry it out.

Also on behalf of the Sub-Committee of Cultish Potato Abuse, I am happy to announce the winner of the first Monthly Conspiracy of the Month Contest: me.

However, the particular conspiracy by which I will have won has yet to be determined and the Committee for Pot-Luck Brunches and Cult Femur Awareness decided to make it a matter of public vote.

Please vote for which conspiracy you think I should will have won by.

Proper behavior for raving cultists in Richard White Games

For the sake of simplicity we shall call the Vell-os George, the ORiS individual Space Monkey, and the disgruntled space marine Mr. Noodlepants.

The first punch would likely be thrown by Mr. Noodlepants because after a few drinks he would realize that George would look better if he had his face re-arranged. Space Monkey would likely then proceed to dance on the table and cheer on George (because who likes humans?). Mr. Noodlepants would then grab Space Monkey by the (insert ORiS body part) and yank down off the table onto George.

The drinks of the respective individuals, feeling insulted at their abondonment for a silly fight, would then devour them all.

Vahnatai Creationism Theory With A Twist in General
Skip to My Lou

And any other non-Geneforge races (Nephils for example) are easily explained by the wanton shaping that occured during the war.

And the drayks following the altered humans below ground would be plausible. Perhaps the rouges won, obliterating the Shapers and the only remaining humans (thus being on the side of the rouges) gave in to alteration and became the predecessors of the Vahnatai. The ruthless Drakons, by then well on their way to being Dragons, would likely have considered themselves the rulers of everyone. The Proto-Vahnatai and Drayks may have fled underground to avoid slavery.

YES.

Is her soon but not immediate future ok?

HA HA HA.

Will she ever find happiness again?

NOT LIKEY.

Sorry Dolphin, it seems the magic 8 ball doesn't like you.

Then again, this one is "The Magic 8 Ball of Horror".

Are you at war with the chicken gods?

HA HA HA.

Are you secretly allied with the chicken gods?

YES.

So they shouldn't get mad if we use you to tell the future?

DIE WELL.

Um, are you saying that using you will kill me?

MAYBE.

Should I find a different 8 ball?

NO.

Er, would you kill me if I tried to?

HA HA HA.

(I decided to end the interview at this point.)

Vahnatai Creationism Theory With A Twist in General
Skip to My Lou
Member # 40
Profile Homepage #0
An interesting idea occurred to me concerning Vahnatai Creationism and Geneforge. It seems that the New Factory of Exile/Avernum 3 and its generating of living creatures was the beginnings of the idea for Shaping and the Geneforge.

However, perhaps the Geneforge came first. Think of the possible connection! The world of the Shapers contains two known continents and the continent of the Sholai. Is there perhaps a fourth, undiscovered continent? Are the two worlds actually one and the same? Is Geneforge actually the pre-history of Ermarian? It seems quite possible.

Are the Vahnatai the decedents of humans who altered themselves? Are dragons the end result of drakon shaping? Are Eyebeasts and Gazers the distant children of...Eyebeasts and Gazers? Serviles were making themselves bigger, brawnier, and badder. Did this lead to Troglodytes? Are Ogres the progeny of Thads? Are Giants the evolutionary path of Battle Alphas? Is the Spiny Worm a full-grown...Spined Worm?

The parallels seem very intriguing. True, you could argue, "Where are the vlish and fyoras?" However, the Empire has a long-standing policy of the genocide of non-human races and magical creatures. Extinction of a few races is not implausible.

Perhaps the Vahnatai did create everything. Or, rather, they shaped everything. The Shaper/Rouge war could very easily have completely destroyed civilization with the shaped humans being driven to find refuge underground. Perhaps the collapse of civilization left the Sholai, on a distant continent, to eventually form the Empire.

An interesting concept, yes?

I am entirely certain that PC's cannot attack you in town. In town, there are plenty of NPC's (woman, man, guard) that you will automatically attack if you left-click on them. If you want to do other things with them you right-click for the options. Between towns there are plenty of NPC's that will attack you. If you stick to the roads you can usually avoid them.

I'm one of the scattered few that are willing to help new people. Add archmagealex to your freinds list and tell me when you are going to be on (MST) and I'd be happy to take 5 mins to set you up with some nice armor and weapons.
