He he, after I posted it I thought, "wait a second, did I already post this here once?" In my defense, it is still very interesting and was new to some people. :D

I see once again my mistake of thinking it is possible to post someting interesting and have it taken as a passing amusement rather than having it analyzed to death and back again. Some of you people take things way too seriously. :P

Why did we get rid of avatars again? The space they took up?

I still picture a lot of the oldbies by their Ikonboard avatars.

From my experience with these boards, it is likely that there is no further point.

As I said, the point is to have no point. Then you can mock people who guess a point. Even if there are exceptions, such as this thread, which does have the possibility of another point, pointlessness is a primary intent if not the primary intent.

Isn't it amusing? :)

Of course that was the reason! Can you not see how the statement has restored Universal Harmony?! Or something like that. I sometimes wonder if I am the only one that is able to see that the lack of a point can be a point.

A woodchuck would chuck as much as he could if a woodchuck could chuck wood. Or so I'm told.

What is a woodchuck anyway? And how exactly does one "chuck" wood?

I wish I were in charge of custom titles.

I really like that idea. In Exile I always gave my characters the Recuperation ability. Having something besides elusive and not so amazing rings of great health to up your HP recovery speed would be nice.

Just because I find irony so delicious, I must comment that I like how Overwhelming claims to do things for the good of the BoA community when such a significant portion of the BoA community is telling him exactly what they feel. The irony is overwhelming.

Avernum 4 wish list. in General

The thing is, we don't want him to just replace the two spells people like the least with two new spells and make minor modifications to 2 others. That is what happened in A1-2-3-BoA.

We want the total number of spells doubled (at least) with the number and variety being closer to that of the exiles.

SUPER-IMPORTANT-MUST-HAVE: Unlock doors actually unlocks doors! If this is the only change to spells that we get, it would still be a very good one.

Speculating about Avernum 4's plot in General

I loved the variety and number of spells in E3/BoE! I was greaty saddened by the way Jeff cut it down from 124 spells to 40. Sure, there were few, like Symbiosis, that were mostly useless and only cast once or twice for the novelty, but more spells is better!

A vast selection of spells kept combat more interesting. It made opportunity for more varied tactics. Area of effect spells were great! I also really miss being able to make magic barriers, summon demons, see the map of the whole area, poison your weapon, create clouds of ice/fire/shock/sleep/cursing, identify your items, create webs, actually unlock doors with your unlock doors spell (curse BoA!!!), make your party resistant to magic, stealth, kill, paralysis, antimagic cloud, flight, mindduel, death arrows, quickfire, shockwave, manna, wound, disease, holy scourge, detect life, remove curse, sticks to snakes, martyr's shield, revive, guardian, mass charm, protective circle, word of recall, divine thud.

I would rather have 300 spells with only 1/2 of them being practical/useful than 40 spells with 7/8 being practical/useful.

Anyone with insane relatives? in General
Skip to My Lou

My older sister has a chemical imbalance. She takes medication for it, but with only limited success. She is unable to see that she has a problem. Fortuanately, she doesn't tend to be violent, however, she is frequently irrational and has trouble following paths of logic.

For example, earlier today she had my dad drive her to work. She owns her own car, is fully capable of driving, and it is extemely inconvenient for my dad to drop her off and now my mom and I have to drop her car off to her so she can get home. Reasoning doesn't work, logic has no effect. She canstantly insists on strange things and continues to insist until you have clearly said "no" about 15 times or you agree.

It can be difficult, but we just try to help her with out giving giving in to her more irrational or strange requests.

According to my computer, my copy of E3 was last modified April 1997. When did it get a graphics face-lift?

I would replay E3, but after you've beaten it 17 times in every way you can think of (all sliths, Anama, all mages, singleton, etc.) it gets kinda hard to remain interested.
