Well, it's half true. You can run supplies from town to town, and you can sell stuff you find. That's about as close to opening a shop as you can get.

Look, I see what you mean, but probably the only reason my brain didn't filter it out is that I've been watching a lot of the Twilight Zone lately. I'm personally of the belief that we can't 'cure' the thing you call 'ill-mindness', whatever you meant.

And if people are guilty of treating Saddam like a dead tiger, it's because he kind of is one. He was a serious threat (like a live tiger at close range would be), and he's dead now, so we have a reason to celebrate (threat removed).

As for what's wrong with mankind... I guess it's that pesky old free will. Or maybe it's the inherent variation in the species. So I see your point. The solution is radical thought control and genetic manipulation at birth!

(If the sarcasm didn't take hold, there's nothing wrong with 'mankind'. There's stuff wrong with individuals. But the quirks of humanity are nothing that a few billion years of group therapy couldn't cure. :P )

Hey, no worries about the delay. Most people have posted new graphics here as well.

So, unless I missed a few, looks like a few walls by Dahak, ADoS and TGM... a turtle, Shinobi's illithid, and a few new items. Nice.

Just finished Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere at about 2:30 last night. Amazing book, but I was seriously worried that the ending was going to turn sour. Naturally, it was put back on the right track within the last three paragraphs.

Personally, I never bothered with Capture Soul/Simulacrum... I just used the standard BoA Simulacrum. And a whole lot of Arcane Summon/Radiant Shield/Mass Haste combo-riffic goodness.

(BtW, Kel deserves recognition for making summoning helpful by adding Grizzlies. It's been a while since I've had summons actually kill one of my enemies.)

It's outrageous- an execution during Eid. Muslims all over the world (with the exception of Iran) are outraged. Eid is a time of peace, of putting aside quarrels and anger- at least for the duration of Eid.

Now, I'm not exactly certain what kind of mental lapse allows this sort of thing to happen, but... gah, that's stupid. It transcends stupid. It needs a new word. It's so stupid, it makes me wonder if the U.S. was involved in setting the date.

Let's take a peaceful holiday, and schedule an act of violence meant as retribution for many more acts of violence right in the middle of it.

(re-checks Wikipedia entry for Eid ul-Adha)

Wait. The holiday began on the 30th.

Always thought that was odd.

Another bug, assuming nobody already mentioned it: in the Temple of Sothana, I got a message like "Error: Town Wandering Monster Out of Range". Something like that, anyway.

EDIT: Oh, and I summoned Phaedra with Summon Shade. Thought you should know.

Eh, I'm fine with the method of Saddam's death, and I'm just glad that he got the axe. Or, rather, the rope. Now, we just need to go round up the dictators we've let go over the years.

My main issue with the death penalty is the whole "Then are we any better than the murderer?" angle. However, the fact that we think about the morality of it at all reminds me that we're basically just better people.

Blah blah gray areas blah blah. They're there, but Saddam's crimes were not a gray area.

Eh... so, the purpose of the site is to let all the banned folks here congregate? Which they're unlikely to do anyway?

(Contemplates a board with Ed, arghhhhhhhhh, TM, and adbots running around. Then, realizes that TM wouldn't be there.)

Save your receipt, man.

Well, Healing and Curing are different spells... I think I'm the only one who can cast Divine Restoration at the moment, so Nioca would have to cast both on Alorael to get him back to full strength.
