I have read a bit on the process of thought and have my own hypothesis. I read a convincing argument that thought occurs in pictures. The vast majority of people, if asked and if they thought about it, would respond that they think in pictures. An example is your living room couch. Think about your couch and describe it to yourself in detail. Did you picture in your mind an image of your couch and then from this visualization notice characteristics? Or did you just think the words, "blue", "three cushions", "creases here and here"? Most would say they summoned to mind an image and then mentally reviewed it to determine their description. However, I found this slightly flawed; what about blind people? They could not possibly think in images if they had never seen one. Thus, I believe that thought occurs though the frame of reference we most depend upon. If you really thought about you might be able to tell me how your couch felt and smelled, however, with most people, the initial image would only have been visual rather than involving other sensory perceptions. Red Book says he thinks in words, however, what does that mean? Are you visualizing text? Are you "hearing" the words? Both fit in with this. I am not entirely certain about more abstract ideas that have no physical representation. However, I am also hard pressed to find any such ideas. Love, for example, and other emotions are associated with outward responses and inner sensations of body and effects on thought process. Nervousness is associated often with a sensation in the stomach comparable to having butterflies there. Fear can include the paralyzing effects it can have on the brain and ability to think rationally. In conclusion, it seems to me that thought occurs in the only frame of reference we have, being sensory perceptions. -------------------- Take the Personality Test!

I don't really plan on doing anything this year, however I considered being a necromancer. The problem would be that 2 out of 3 people would probably say "what's a necro-whatever?" -------------------- Take the Personality Test!

I'm not sure if it is more frightening that some one played the game enough to be able to ask an in-depth question or the fact that some one was part-way able to answer it. -------------------- Take the Personality Test!

Personally, I think Avernum is getting attacked for being a remake a little more than it really should. I couldn't stand the interface of E1-2 and never registered. However I very much enjoyed A1-2 I feel that the remake was a good idea for those two at least. Once he had 1 and 2 he had to make 3, though it may have possible for him to skip BoA. If he continues the Avernum/Exile plotline well in A4 (which he probably will) A5, 6, 7, etc. could potentially be as fun as anything else he could make. He did well going from 1 to 2 to 3, he probably will do well going to 4. I personally would greatly enjoy seeing more of Ermarian. -------------------- Take the Personality Test!

I created an English to Vahnatai list that Drakey said he would add to his site, but never did. If you want it just post your e-mail.

A quick look at the 93 page user manual and distinctly unfriendly interface have caused to come to the conclusion I will never make a BoA scenario. While BoE can be complex, it is, at least, a heck of a lot easier to use. My questions: Is BoE dead? If I were to make a small, first-efforts BoE scenario would it be ignored or could I have a reasonable hope of having people play it? -------------------- Take the Personality Test!

My AIM list appears to include ADoS, Drakefyre, Alec, Morgan, Imban, and a couple others I know belong to these boards, but cannot connect AIM sceen names to Spidweb Screen names. I believe this list came entirely from my time spent in the Arena. I am Apocalyptic Alex, by the way, for any who are bored, as I am this particular moment. -------------------- Take the Personality Test!

Jeff's reply: Thanks for writing! A lot of interesting suggestions. A lot of these improvements will be in Geneforge 3. I may not have gone in exactly these directions, but there will be a lot more variety in graphics and characters. There will be something like crafting, and your backpack will be bigger. There will be more inventory types. I don't think you'll be disappointed. - Jeff Vogel Spiderweb Software, Inc. -------------------- Take the Personality Test!

A really late "hi" to WBS and my 2¢ of advice: going on extensively about minor things in not a positive thing. On a vaugely related note, FBM is right that titles are uncommon. I've been passively trying to get one for years. Though I suppose it is probably the passivity (is that a word?) that has kept me titleless (I don't think that's really a word either) Drakey should tell us when he's in a titling mood so we know when to kiss up to him. -------------------- Take the Personality Test!
