Same. You see, the problem is that I only tried replaying on Torment after like twice through. Then, I'd just gotten bored (particularly with A3).

Typical Empire propaganda. :P

But seriously, Jaen is just as much of a villain as Stalker. As Slith said, both think that the ends justify the means, and both are pretty ruthless. And who's to say that the party doesn't arrive in the scenario working for the villain?

Really, either both are villains, or both are good guys.

Abstained... sex offenders need to be watched, but only until they clear parole. Then, by the definition of justice we've created, they go free (except for all the wonderful prejudices they'll face back in public life).

One case should not lead to GPS monitoring.

Stalker didn't have zero character development... he was a character that didn't need it as much. You knew from the start that somebody had to be leading the Hill Runners, but you didn't know who until pretty much the end of the scenario.

That kind of villain isn't always bad, either. Some villains tend to hog the stage (*cough* Rentar *cough*), and on occasion, it's just rewarding to find out that, yes, there actually was somebody running the show (I like to think that the villain in EoR has this down).

You know, at the rate we've been going, we're going to pass last month's total before the weekend begins. I mean, we're only about 800 posts off of it.

Wow. My posts are getting spammier, and less exciting by the minute. Time was I could kill a thread with my humour and wit. Now... now??

Who knows.

(And 10 points to the first person who quotes this and says "Me".)

Me :P

You don't miss out on an opportunity to spam, do you?

I think it has less to do with spamming than continuing the pyramid quoting. And that's about enough of that, I think.

—Alorael, who has made his point and his pyramid and who can therefore rest easy knowing that his work here is done. Huzzah.

This pyramid is a fitting monument to the postcount thread whose memory is immortalized here. (At least it's immortalized until sufficient enlargement of this pyramid makes this thread also follow the way of tower of Babel.)

(Pyramids rule.)

When this pyramid collapses, it'll probably take the boards with it. Just saying.

Hm... there must be a way to work in a spam reference to Tower of Babel. Oh well. Someone else can do it.

Wow... I certainly lowered the average vote. I don't think we'll keep up the insane pace for too long, and I bet we'll drop back into the 125-150 range eventually.

That said, I like this community, and I like it more when it's active. So I hope I'm wrong, basically.

I seem to have lost the thread of the debate... you two are on the same side, no? Is it just about Salmon's rather sarcastic handling of the poll questions?

Ah, the "sensible" woman... the gamer's downfall. I feel incredibly lucky to have a woman in my life who both understands my gaming and is somewhat interested in it (though doing the whole scenario design bit helps a lot).
