owwies, I hope you recover swiftly, injuries are never fun, they hurt. ;.; -------------------- If everyone would just forgive someone else, so much pain would be taken off of all of our shoulders... but as tenderness is a virtue it is also a failing, any who would do such a thing usually fall to those who wouldn't. - Ezrah Posts: 50 | Registered: Thursday, April 15 2004 07:00 |

A happy little list. 1. A larger world, jeff hasn't currently designated in exacts the time system. [Length of days and such relative to earth time] There could be more unexplored/undiscovered continents [You don't even know how large the world is unless you're an astronomer measuring the length of the days, seasons, and years, or you've sailed all the way around it.] he could also/instead of that open up the other continents he's already discussed. 2. More character customization, more distinct charactar portraits and spirits, gener differentiation for the other races. [sentient mammals have two larger breasts for a reason, and its not so straight males can look at them; they're there because intelligent offspring means fewer, larger offspring, with higher nutrative needs [The current pictures are either male, or undifferentiable]. As for the slith, females should just be larger.. as reptilian females generally are, evolution produced the need to protect a brood, and that would still show in the musculastructure and relative size even though males help now due to sentience] 3. More skills and schools of magic. Allow the party members to learn not only general weapons compotence, but at higher levels [perhaps using skill prereqs and special trainers] specific styles that alter the attack stats [letting your swordsman use a heavyhanded, finessless style, and your spearman and faster, more accurate style, or vice versa] specialize magic further, so that you have "subschools" within the priest and mage school [perhaps just group them togeather, or use prereqs and special trainers] for access to a larger variety of more specialized spells. More "survival" skills that allow the party to cull the land. 4. A more complex lockpicking/trap disarming system. A system that would bring up something similiar to a minigame for traps and locks if your skill is within a certain tollerance of the difficulty of your target, if your skill was excessively superiour or inferiour it might fail or succeed automatically as per normal. 5. Crafting skills of all levels, perhaps a specialized school of magic to place temporary enchantments on items as well, the ability to collect material and make most kinds of items, or possibly even alter the landscape/build structures. 6. Bore background/backstory/culture to the non human races. So far, "non humans" are treated pretty much as either really strange, superiour, or inferiour humans. Give them their own identities and structural flair, slith structures [once they learn how to build them and cement their own style] would be nothing like a humans, it would have as much in common with a nephil designed structure. [we saw this to a decent extent with the vahnatai, but it could of been better.] 7. More advanced scripted reactions and "character memories" to allow for more complex and absorbing NPC interaction. 8. More active communities. The extent to which any town or city was "active" in the past games was it being slowly destroyed by something, it would be nice to watch a town grow. 9. More Character Slots. Perhaps keep the Four PC slots, but have 2-4 extra slots for NPCs. Coupled with the more complex scripting and memory system this could allow Jeff to write more complex Quests. perhaps even make you feel like you're temporarily teaming up with another band of adventurers. [given it allows you to speak to these "party members" while they're with you.] 10. A Camp option. Instead of camping like normal it might be interesting for the party to actually pitch a temporary camp [done by using a map referenced by the kind of terrain their on.] It would add atmosphere, and possibly finding something interesting in the camp itself. [Retain a "quick camp" option for those which just want to regain HP, and not use the camp to prepare for something up ahead.] 11. More slots on the character's body. being able to wear more equipment is always interesting and gives your characters a bit of personality. 12. A "turn-time" based system. Turn-time, like geneforge used has alot of potential, though I will say while it was fun it could of been executed in a more intuitive and effective manner.

I've been drawing for about eight years now, at least as a furry. before then I did more um.. normal stuff. I've gotten alot of practice and improved markedly.. but im nowhere near done.. I need to improve further, so I was hoing for some critique. as for the poetry its freeverse, so it has no recognizable meter... although at times I do break out into psuedometer.. just a habit. As for the short stories, I've been told repeatedly that they're good.. and told more that I should frigging finish them >,< [ Saturday, April 23, 2005 13:20: Message edited by: Ezrah, Kitty of Wonder ^.^ ] -------------------- If everyone would just forgive someone else, so much pain would be taken off of all of our shoulders... but as tenderness is a virtue it is also a failing, any who would do such a thing usually fall to those who wouldn't. - Ezrah Posts: 50 | Registered: Thursday, April 15 2004 07:00 |

Its me Ezrah again! As you probably know, I'm an artist. I've actually become rather skilled or at least that is the impression that people seem to be giving me of late. I'd like all of you're opinions, as well as any other fellow artist to share their own work, and start up a discussion. http://ezrah.deviantart.com Artwork, and Poetry. http://www.furnation.com/littleheaven/docs Short stories, mostly incomplete.

I find it very offensive.. not because of the slang term being used, but by the very nature of using it as an insult, the fact that you are imply it is a bad thing... I'm not straight, not my any means I'm actually "pretty much gay" [bi, with about a 90% tendancy towards males.] you shouldn't use a person's preference.. something that isn't bad in any way shape or form as an insult... it might not be for you, but there are people who are happy as they are, who are far more contented and loved the way they are than the way the mainstream would tell them to be. -------------------- If everyone would just forgive someone else, so much pain would be taken off of all of our shoulders... but as tenderness is a virtue it is also a failing, any who would do such a thing usually fall to those who wouldn't. - Ezrah Posts: 50 | Registered: Thursday, April 15 2004 07:00 |

Heaven and Hell are very real places, and jesus was the key to reaching either one... and no I'm not a christian. There might be some intelligent force orchestrating everything. If there is it's my personal beleif that its the universe itself. A changing entity of such vast dimensions, all of the peices communicating with one another structurally and quantumly has to have developed some sembalance of awareness; even if it is primitive mathematical sub-sentience. So there isn't nessicarily the need for some humanoid, omnipotent creature with an attitude and alot of groundless malice for random people on this single, small planet. [Yes, I beleive in other planets with life, I'm a reincarnationist, and im not the reincarnation of a human, hence my furryness.] What I ment by the aforementioned statement is that Heaven and Hell exist, they're states of mind and states of being. Both of which are attainable... the states of mind with such "names" are reached through introspection of your own deeds, motives, and inner morals [not the ones some "leader" tells you you're supposed to have.] You can make the world around you, at least in your perception, a horrible or wonderful place. The physical states of heaven and hell are easily reachable as well, they're caused by the relative harmony or disharmony of all the sentient beings on this planet as a whole. As for the jesus part, I don't think he was some metaphysical savior, sent from a god, that people made in their own image. He was a kind of activator, an evolved human, without all of the psychotic tendancies the normal kind have, and possibly alot more mental and "emotional" power. His entire goal, from what I've read wasn't so much to tell people to praise him so that they would goto the "Kingdom of God" when they died.. it was to create such a place on the still living earth, by following his teachings and examples of cooperation and peace. [Jesus was a peacenick, hippy Commy; and I love him for it.] Unfortunately humanity killed him, and has ever since been spiralling downward into increasing hatred and self destruction, instead of following a very good example and cooperating peacefully as a whole. He brough harmony and heaven, at the small price of a little bit of selflessness and self sacrifice, you threw it all away in order to maintain something that I don't really see as important, the ego, and traded it all for an ever increasing hell of your own creation.

my entire family is like this... they've mellowed with age though... I can't really offer any advice other than to call someone, preferably a professional like a police officer when things START to get out of hand, since standing in the way of such people can often get you hurt, and there isn't really anything you can do to help them.

heh, frigging stereotypes :P The con I wanted to goto was a furry con, so feel free to stereotype me, you can bite me, though I wouldn't mind going to a gaming con, quite a few gamers I know aren't the fat, slow, lifeless entities most people mentally associate with the theme :P one of the people I know is a cute little furry gamer boi who can keep pace with me in RPGs, and puzzlers, beat me senseless in fighting games and "coordination games" [DDR, Parapa, etcetera], and I know quite a few others like him. Though I know just as many stereotypical gamers, I knew this one big fat dude... who beat me to a bloody pulp in DDR... ON A DANCE PAD, oh the HUMANITY! and for the record, I suck horribly at DDR, I have no rythm and coordination.. and I can't dance to begin with, my response to a request or challenge is to stand, cross my arms, and ignore it, because I suck :P [ Friday, December 03, 2004 20:42: Message edited by: Ezrah, Kitty of Wonder ^.^ ] -------------------- If everyone would just forgive someone else, so much pain would be taken off of all of our shoulders... but as tenderness is a virtue it is also a failing, any who would do such a thing usually fall to those who wouldn't. - Ezrah Posts: 50 | Registered: Thursday, April 15 2004 07:00 |

Anyone ever goto a con, or want to, or like the concept of it? I've always wanted to goto a nice big con, it seems interesting, last year, one of my friends went to one of the californian animecons, they said it was great, and you can get lots of neat stuff. Last year I missed Further Confusion, which throughly pissed me off, I might miss it again this year, though I sincerily hope I don't. There is supposed to be alot of fun stuff and activities. There is supposed to be a large gaming exhibition, as well as an area for tabletop games [I have jadeclaw, yeay! ^.^] and DDR [I man I suck at DDR, I have no rythm :( , though I know a few people who kick tail.] standup comedians, [they're supposed to have 2 *2 is the comedian's name* I think], writing workshops and various other things. It's likely going to be a veritable flurry of activity. [though I'll probably be forced to dance, or show off some of my other non-talents >.>] -------------------- If everyone would just forgive someone else, so much pain would be taken off of all of our shoulders... but as tenderness is a virtue it is also a failing, any who would do such a thing usually fall to those who wouldn't. - Ezrah Posts: 50 | Registered: Thursday, April 15 2004 07:00 |

it doesn't even need characters, they main reason that it looks "dead" is because everything looks so cut out and artificial [no offense intended], the trees don't have the proper shading, or shape to convey scale, they're all straight, and rather symetrical as fas as shape, and the ground is well.. a line. if you want help, I'd be glad to help. for starters though, go study some real trees... it helps to know how they grow, a real tree twists, and bends, and moves as it grows, and you can see that in its shape. yes, trees have character O.o;;; also you may not want to draw each individual blade of grass. perhaps changing your angle may help a little.. have the pan a little higher, so that you can see the forest flow going off into the background, that would also give you a good chance to practice some prespective. -------------------- If everyone would just forgive someone else, so much pain would be taken off of all of our shoulders... but as tenderness is a virtue it is also a failing, any who would do such a thing usually fall to those who wouldn't. - Ezrah Posts: 50 | Registered: Thursday, April 15 2004 07:00 |

"Morality" In its basest form did not come from a doctrine, or a god, or a system. It came from the inate ability of sentient life to empathize. Long before Homo Sapiens even had the mental clout to envision a diety of any kind, they could look at another's misfortune, and feel, genuinely "I really don't want that to happen to me" simply put, what is "wrong" is what hurts... Thought there are some exceptions, not even the most twisted of masochists will take pleasure from the murder of their family, having their welfare and shelter taken from them, or other such things. The basic sense of "right" and "wrong" comes from being able to feel someone else' misfortune, or at the very least imagine what it would be like to be them, and deciding that its not something you want for yourself or others. Morality comes from deep inside of us, some psychological aspect, not from a book or a god. If some etherial entity such as a deity, or code of honor is the ONLY thing keeping you from unleashing unadulterated havoc on the world, you are a supreme threat to the safety of others, without the ability to empathize there is nothing to stop you when you are left solely to your own devices. -------------------- If everyone would just forgive someone else, so much pain would be taken off of all of our shoulders... but as tenderness is a virtue it is also a failing, any who would do such a thing usually fall to those who wouldn't. - Ezrah Posts: 50 | Registered: Thursday, April 15 2004 07:00 |

I just finished "The Hidden Face of God" a book about Molecular Biology, Quantum Physics, and Metaphysics, writen by a triple PH.d [I can't recal the third, the first are, quantum physics and molecular biology], qhabbalist. Its a very interesting read. I'm starting on "Lost Discoveries", a book revealing the non euro-centric origins of science and technology. The last peice of fiction I read, and enjoyed was "At Winter's End" a very good book. -------------------- If everyone would just forgive someone else, so much pain would be taken off of all of our shoulders... but as tenderness is a virtue it is also a failing, any who would do such a thing usually fall to those who wouldn't. - Ezrah Posts: 50 | Registered: Thursday, April 15 2004 07:00 |

Nephilim is simply put, a semi-derogatory term for a "half angel" which is what is created when an angel breaks the breeding regulations. [There are actually "rules" for angels to live by, one of them, concerning their reproduction, is "Don't screw things out of your league, humans and other primitive life forms included"] the first Nephilim were the product of the second group of fallen angels cast down in the bible. They are essentially human, except they are "giants among men" I've always though this to mean somewhat larger, and more powerful, and intelligent than your average human [and not the standard 12 foot tall religion ingrained stereotype.] Most of this information is unknown to modern christians, since the stories that elaborate, are held in jewish and protestant apocryphas, the only people that generally know are catholics and orthodox/qhabbalistic jews. -------------------- If everyone would just forgive someone else, so much pain would be taken off of all of our shoulders... but as tenderness is a virtue it is also a failing, any who would do such a thing usually fall to those who wouldn't. - Ezrah Posts: 50 | Registered: Thursday, April 15 2004 07:00 |

I think a psuedo-theological series would be nice, you know, one that reexamines old religious lore through the eyes of modern science and thinking, it might turn out very interesting, [think biological technology, artificial winged beings, and a haplessly tricked mortal populace, all teetering on the verge of revelation to the truth for those christians in the crowd *and no this isn't ment to offend you*] Posts: 50 | Registered: Thursday, April 15 2004 07:00 |

Here are my thoughts, according to the slits camped out at the gate to their homeland, originally the slith's were a very peaceful race, highly skilled in magic and smithery [and possibly science.] we can't really tell as to the exact levels of their former skills as all of the sliths in exile are descendants of a rouge faction. Chances are said faction may of been exiled for their violent nature [many of the sliths were near psychotic in comparison to the peaceful ones] and the demon worshiping may of come before or after the exile [before if you beleive the repentant sliths.] they wouldn't of been very skillfull at masonry [with the exception of ornate temples and other cerimonial structures, religion is very important to the sliths], because they didn't have to in their homelands sliths lived in natural warrens complete with warm water rookeries, and volcanic vents for heat, they HAD no reason to learn to build, most of their stone working skill as examplified went into cerimonial ornamentation. As for the nephilim, their name hints that they are in a rather fallen state of affairs, and since most nephil unless lead by a near psychotic leader, an unbalanced self-aggressive mutant [nephar], or a human rebel seem to want to AVOID combat rather than seek it out. all of the nephil encampments seen are of a makeshift veriaty not nessicarily because they are "stupid savages" as people like to throw around concerning anything they don't understand, simply put building towns, tilling fields, and cutting mines and quarries takes time, a luxury that you don't have when your on the run for your lives. And most nephil "groups" had someone capable of smithing weapons, even the hidden encampment, [they themselves try to purchase iron and steel from you, showing that its not that they lack the skill but the materials.] and as for not having powerfull mages or priests. When the slith were outcast, they had time to regroup fully before attacking, it takes a supprisingly long time to restore your cultures advanced, even magical and spiritual when your culture is continually uprooted, nearly destroyed and then shipped off. [gods require special rituals, structures, and offerings, magic requires that you have the materials to cast it, the facilities and implements to teach it, and the time and tranquility to practice it.] [ Tuesday, May 18, 2004 15:54: Message edited by: Ezzy ] Posts: 50 | Registered: Thursday, April 15 2004 07:00 |

Well, nephilim was originally used to refer to half angel creatures "men of great renown" So, it probably carries the connotation of being less than their fathers, and halfbreeds, probably why jeff chose it. [Nephilim were often hated, because they had the power of their non human parent, but the capacity for poor judgement and cruelty of their human one.] *EX: The famous Philistine Giant was of Nephilic descent* [ Thursday, April 15, 2004 16:40: Message edited by: Ezzy ] Posts: 50 | Registered: Thursday, April 15 2004 07:00 |
