And so the horrible lack of spells justifies horrible lack in other areas? What happened to the good old days of Exile when you had dozen upon dozen of spells?

Is it just me, or has the terror vlish really lost its terror? In GF1 and GF2 the Terror Vlish was a creation to be reckoned with. I found that I could make a quick dash to gain the ability to make them at the begining and then they more than sufficed until I could replace them with dryaks or gazers. An amazing (and cool looking) creation has been horribly degraded. It no longer causes terror (the spell). A terror vlish no longer causes terror! Yes, I understand that many did not enjoy having their enemies constantly flee, but if you don't like it use a different creation. The attack is now pure poison damage. This means many foes now take little to no damage. And the graphic even had its coolness stolen!

Why, Jeff, why? Why did you take such a great creation and crush its greatness?

On the topic of creations...

I am still only part way through on my first time, but, from what I gather, there are no new creations that you can make. Is it true?! Did Jeff actually decide that having 6 new kinds of tree was a better idea than a single new creation?!

Hey, I'm not saying I don't appreciate his contributions to the community, all I said was that taunting him can be hazardous to your health. The only thing I have against him is his flaunting of the CoC, which he is being punished for. As though that will make a difference. :P

Naturally this is what would occur. Saying it while he's here has similarities to smearing oneself with honey and poking a bear.

This is clearly the best option.

I also agree that any TV series would be much better than a movie. There's just never enough time in movies to do justice to books/games.

I just bought Dungeon Siege (the game) a couple weeks ago. The description of the movie shows a completely different plot than the game. It looks like all they kept was a few main characters and a couple of the different races.

I hearby un-register to vote. The politics have confuzzled my brain and my bias both for and against many candidates leaves me unable to vote with the impartiality I would desire to.

Please note, I do not relinquish my candidacy, merely my vote.

Two envelopes paradox in General
Skip to My Lou
Member # 40
Profile Homepage #34
Simple answer:

You picked the first envelope at random. The introduction of this supremely random element makes any mathmatical/statistical solution dubious at best. The chances that the other envelope is better is completely random. Salmon has the only answer: analyze what you know of the show.

Just for fun:

"The laws of mathematics, as far as they refer to reality, are not certain, and as far as they are certain, do not refer to reality."

-Albert Einstein

Personally, I am thinking that experience is being far over-rated by far too many people. It helps, yes, but it's not like moderating is rocket science. Besides, how many of our recognizably good moderators had these boards as their first place of moderation?

Also, it would seem to me that those who are moderators for other forums/boards would have less time to be moderating this forum.

As an American I resent that remark. We are fully capable of posting crap well before midnight and wide awake.

As to Exile/Avernum. I admit that I found A1-2 easier to play than E1-2. However, I find E3 and BoE to be far better than any Avernum. I find the gross lack of spells (especially area of effect ones) to be unforgivable. Also, as has been said, Exile just has a more immersive feel to it.

I disagree. I believe TM will find a way to continue, despite death.

I will be Supreme Overlord of the Underlords of the Order. Though I suppose the quality of the position would necessarily have to be measured by the quality and number of the underlords I overlord.

My condolences as well.

You may be confusing a willingness to argue about religion with ability to offer spiritual advice. Speaking in person with a local spiritual leader may be a better option.

EDIT: TM posted as I was posting. How amusing that we agree on something. But to continue, our views are too varied on the boards to give you any comfort. Seeking those you know with beliefs you are familiar with would most likely be the best option.

EDIT2: And ADoS, this is not the place for campaigning.
