Do you have a link on that? It sounds intriguing for a time when there is nothing to be done.

Yeah they really suck for the server. They open up multiple conneections with it and download parts of the file you are getting. Many sites are limiting IP addresses to one connection at a time due to this so they really aren't all that great for the user either.

Probably the graphics that I have now. They don't look like much, and the starting graphic for John is the Red/Brown swordsman while Ariel is the Axewoman in erm pink I think, but am probably wrong.

Eh-
I don't think that you regain all of it. You regain like 500 or 700 hp or something like that though so it tends to be all of your HP. I just know that with a powerful Drayk I have had to return once or twice to a town.
Edit: This might have been GF2-

Agree with the above,
When I first opened the topic, I was impressed, till I realized it was you. Now I feel weird everytime I enter it. Hmm the second pic is not half as bad as the first though in my opinion.

But yes perhaps you should do it some more.

Have you ever fenced? Or taken part in an anachronism(sp and possible meaning as well) society?
Those things are a lot of fun. And it is hardly childish to go around getting hit with sticks. You ever heard of boffing?

Is the entirety of Ermaria mapped out?
So there are 3 known ones, besides the north coast of Valorim and maybe more?
And yes plot info would be more useful, or rather satisfying.

No, it was a very good recap and excluded all the nonsense, so in a way that was something unusual if not new.

But Kelandon had mentioned forthcoming screenshots. Is this speculation or is there a source? How do you access the forthcoming games section? I don't see a way to get to the GF3 screenshots from the main page for example. Do you have to be on the mailing list to get the link, or is there a place where there is info on these two games accesible from the main page?

Ah but it is worth playing through the demo at least, even if you don't end up buying the game. That way you can have a reason for disliking it-

As to the crafting- It does sound interesting, I guess, I have never played a game with crafting, how does it work?

Erm-
It looked allright-
but reading the blurbs- "there may be reasons to join her" haven't we been over this before? Well perhaps it is something new and unique, hmmmm crafting. It can be enjoyable if done correctly I suppose.

And taking a closer look at the graphics- what are you?

Again-
Quick use? Hmmm Diablo?

In any case, the Israelis are the bigger man here -- what would society say if a twenty-five-year-old man reacted to a five-year-old beating on his legs by backhanding the little brat hard enough to sprawl him over? Nothing good, I'd imagine.
Hmmmm, If a young child is beating on your legs, you should do something about it. If it is not yours than take it to its own house and hand it over to it's parents. If it is yours spank it.
What happens though if the parents shut the door in your face when you present them with their child, you take it to the police( US/UN/whatever) If they say that you have to keep this child how are you going to react probably not to well, maybe we need some social workers to take care of the palestinian infant. Hey we can bring them all over here and nurture them so that they grow out of this two year tantrum phase.

A lot of this goes back to that question about the value of 1 human life. Is it even significant compared to the total. It may be just beating on the "legs" of Israel but the legs are made of people. And the same applies to the backhand. It might knock out the child only temporaly but it would kill a lot of the people making up the child. So equating millions of people into one life figure is semi-confusing as far a the ethics of it go. Which I find rather interesting.

Yes with real estate this would not be absolutly bad. Since you own the property when the value goes up you get money but when it goes down you can default on payments and the company is screwed if you don't have assets that they can take from you.

Mahl bellowed in rage as he watched Penny and the rogue run back towards their camp - his prey had escaped him, the smaller creations crowded back in fear as he glared at them, the light of a demon in his eyes.-

When he had had picked up the demon skull Mahl had started to feel a voice in his head. "Who are you?" Mahl asked, but got no understandable response. He continued to stare at it and heard the voice again, this time understandable- "The Dragon! Its dead!, I am free!" Instantly the skull began to glow. Mahl tried to drop it but couldn't. Once more Mahl screamed for help, but this time there was no one to hear him. As he held the skull longer the noise in his head increased and the demon spirit began demanding for control. Horrified at what was happening to him Mahl tried to run skull or no but only ended up tripping and crashing to the floor. "All right" he pleaded, "Just let me live."-

When the two had dissapeared from sight Mahl dismissed the impish minions, emerged from the cave, and slunk out. Amazed at the new powers that submitting to the demon's voice had given him, he was trying to convince himself that this could turn out all right-

OOC: Mahl does not have to reveal the possesion so he should be able to rejoin the group, except perhaps the celestial.... I don't think that Meteus recognized him.

At any rate, maybe this means that the U.S. will take its head out of its rear end and make a more substantial attempt to help resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. If we wanted to reduce anti-U.S. sentiment in the Middle East, taking steps forward in that process would certainly help — and that would probably give extremist groups less of a platform.
If the U.S. does intervene it would probably do it with it's familiar strong arm tactics and screw up once more. Making it even more unpopular-

My searches on Arafat have said that he is in a reversible coma, possibly due to a worsening of his condition, or perhaps the "sleeping pills" they gave him

I still don't understand the connection between being stupid and having 11-12 kids....
Why won't anyone explain this to me. I've hashed it out before and like I said last time some of the smartest people I know are from large families (9 or 10 children) but then again some of the stupidest people I know are from large families. The differece between the two was the parents. The stupid kids had had 4 different stepdads and brother + sisters by all of them. No wonder they were miserable. The smarter families had a single set of parents- and had also been schooled by their mother. I don't see any evidence for size of family to intelligence. Why is it stupid to have a large family? That seems to be simply an opinion and some might think a stupid one.....
