#53. When you are looked at weirdly for laughing at the boards, just mumble something about living in the joy of Richard White, and go back to making arcane gestures at your monitor.

#31. Do not stop lurking just because you don't/can't post much.

#32. Any post comparing member #4 and #4045 is unlikely to be popular.

Hmm, most people were missing the area effect spells of exile in A1-3, but there were some situations where target spells would be better. Arrows of death was always fun in Exile.

Say, is it possible to get into Linda's portion of the Tower of Magi in X2?

I never did get across those ruins on the floor.

I believe it was Early Worm. Speaking of taking Alo's names, an easy 'name fad' to do would be changing ones name to Alo's name of the day before. Around what time does he actually change it? :P

Not sure what you mean by find tools. All you have to do to talk to the crystal is walk into the room where it is. Perhaps you already talked to it? Try going to Formello and showing the crystal to the mayor. If you can't get it to work, you may have to restart your game.

Yeah, going to get your hair cut requires time, money, and some sort of mental effort to choose your new 'you' for something that isn't all that important. I cut my hair last for Winter break, the mother wouldn't let me in the house without that. Like Kel said, it wasn't disaproved of by the 'female consensus' or it might have been cut earlier.

Longish hair can get annoying though. All frizzy on dry days, or during storms.

Black shades and Almaria in Avernum 4
Infiltrator
Member # 4256

To get across the river, you don't even need to go into Almaria. Just go farther north, into an abandoned farm (it might not be abandoned I don't quite remember) and explore that tunnel system. There might be some sort gate in there though. If thats the case, go through the smuggler tunnel, enter Almaria, go counterclockwise(if you want to avoid people that is) around the shade into the ruined building on the opposite corner of the shade's square, and enter the tunnel system there.

As likely as not the mayor got killed by the shade. You can lead the shade almost anywhere. I've never had a problem with it myself, beyond the odd guard or two, but you can get the shade to follow you almost anywhere. If only they could go up stairs you could kill Micah with one.

Yes, the poll might have gotten closer to the truth if people weren't forced to choose between agreeing with you and despising you. Personally, I don't agree, to my mind the quality of the games doesn't really have much of a moving average. It might be fun to play around with the ratings some and see what the general consensus though.

Only link I saw between Ash and TM besides both being designers, is that they both enjoy some simple crudity.

Hey, coming from FBM that's saying something. :P

I seem to remember you considering yourself rather unpopular on these boards at one point in time.

HomeLand isn't even listed on the order form as available for purchase. Did it become freeware, or just get wiped off the face of the planet, except for our 'beloved' memories?

As for rating the game, I haven't played it all the way through, but the demo was something to do if you were bored... and had nothing else to do... and were trying to distract yourself from a shark eating you.

Eh, well considering I haven't gotten a score in quite a while, and I had 4 stars with the few votes before I posted in a topic like this one and got rated badly for it, I don't think I'm that bad of a guy. It just isn't too smart to post in places like this, if you actually care what happens to your Karma.

Its been discussed before, and if I remember correctly, the significance of each new rating declined.

I did some experimentation myself, after I posted in one thread and got 8 new ratings, by creating 2(I think, or was it 3) new accounts,(so yeah, I'm a multi-accounter, sue me) and having them rate eachother. My observations did not really illuminate anything though, and thus I can now postulate that the impact of any given rating depends on the present opinion of RW.

Ah, ok, I'll ask about it then. Always good to find out where comprehension of something is shaky.

I would tend to think that R^2 would be bigger then just R though, as R has a generator (under addition), but R^2 doesn't. But then again, those others don't have generators either, so that probably doesn't mean anything.
