Hypothetical Time in General
Archmagus Micael Agent Member # 4506	written Tuesday, August 30 2005 23:34 Profile Homepage #3 quote: Originally written by Gastric Freezing: Situation A) Suppose Mr C wishes to keep the painting. Do Mr A's family have a right to demand that it be returned to them? They have a right to, certainly, but most likely they wouldn't be listened too, as it's been so long. quote: Situation B) Suppose Mr C sells the painting at auction. What percentage, if any, of the proceeds of the sale are Mr A's family entitled to? 25% at most. After all, it's ben so long, and they weren't really expecting it back. So 25% is definitely high enough. quote: Situation C) Suppose the painting has been mostly destroyed by moisture, mould and rats during its time hidden under the floorboards. Does Mr C owe Mr A's family any financial compensation for the destruction of the painting? No. Mr C's totally innocent in all of this. If we held relatives to blame for everything, we'd still be in the Dark Ages. MR B stole the painting. Mr C has done nothing but inherited it. Mr A's family is the same: they've just inherited the fact that the painting was stolen. quote: Situation D) Suppose Mr A is still alive when the painting is discovered. If it's Mr A himself who's asking for the return of the painting or compensation for its loss, do any of your answers to the above three situations change? Well, if Mr A is still alive, then he'll probably want ti back, and as it was his in the first place, then he should get it back. - Archmagus Micael [ Tuesday, August 30, 2005 23:34: Message edited by: Archmagus Micael ] -------------------- "You dare Trifle with Exile?" - Erika the Archmage -------------------- My Scenarios: Undead Valley : A small Undead problem, what could possibly go wrong? -------------------- Proof of Richard Black's existance: Richard Black - PROOF of his existance (the Infernal one's website).

Avernum 4 Poll in General
Archmagus Micael Agent Member # 4506	written Tuesday, August 30 2005 10:25 Profile Homepage #15 When I first saw it, I was shocked. But thenI sloged through reading all 6 pages on Avernum 4, and realised that that was the preliminary view. The storyline looks similar to A3, but then again, A1 & A2 were pretty similar, with the exception of the Vahnatai. I think I'll wait for it to come out. I'll probably get it to be honest. I have the rest of the series so it's just the next one. Though I really hope to complete Avernum 2 before it comes out. Oh well, now I just have to wait. I just hope that the inventory pictures will look as good as in the others. quote: Never played A1, not sure if I should buy it. Im not sure I can manage all the old school graphics and the ancient interface that has been upgraded with each new game, as well as the spell system, which will probably include all the spells I hate. :slash:, Avernum 1 is practically identical to Avernum 2. The only real "main" difference I have found are there are no Capture Sould/Simulacrum spells, and you can't use the right-mouse button to search things. And if you've played the others, it really helps your knowledge of Avernum. And also, it's just nice being a "Knight of Avernum". :D - Archmagus Micael -------------------- "You dare Trifle with Exile?" - Erika the Archmage -------------------- My Scenarios: Undead Valley : A small Undead problem, what could possibly go wrong? -------------------- Proof of Richard Black's existance: Richard Black - PROOF of his existance (the Infernal one's website).

The fifth stone (testing grounds) in Geneforge Series

I am at lev. 21 with the help of alwan and greta, the first four were not too bad. For the golems, I lure them out one by one with the short-lived fyora and the fourth test was rather easy with having alwan engage with the beast while I and Greta finished up the energy source. Steelskin helped a great deal. What kind of spell is best to fight the golem? I use acid spray and firebolt when out of energy. What are you?

Lighting Outdoors??? in Blades of Avernum
Archmagus Micael Agent Member # 4506	written Tuesday, August 30 2005 10:00 Profile Homepage #11 Couldn't you just pretend that the town cast light, while in actuality the terrain around the town was a lighter colour? That way it would look slightly "Lighter", without the terrain actually giving off light. However, this would have to be the right level of lightness to work. Oh well. It's an idea anyway. - Archmagus Micael -------------------- "You dare Trifle with Avernum?" ~ Erika the Archmage -------------------- My Scenarios: Undead Valley : A small Undead problem, what could possibly go wrong? -------------------- Richard Black - PROOF of his existance (the Infernal one's website). -------------------- MY FORUM!

Undead Valley Winners in Blades of Avernum
Archmagus Micael Agent Member # 4506	written Tuesday, August 30 2005 09:07 Profile Homepage #0 All of you who've won Undead Valley: I've finally updated my site, (going to change my sig in a minute to reflect this) because of certain tech difficulties. Now that it's fixed though, the Hall of Fame is working again. And this is the problem... A few of you who've won (I certainly hope it's not all of you!) have emailed in the code to me while I had the difficulties. Now that it's been fixed, I've been putting up in the UV Hall of Fame all of the names and details I could get my hands on. However, I think that one or two might have slipped through my email storage, and been deleted. So I'll need you to see if you're one of them! Also, I forgot to puit this in the scenario itself, so it's probably my fault, but not everyone actually told me whether they were on WINDOWS or MAC. I would really like to know, so it looks a LOT neater. Anyway, to condense this for you: If you have COMPLETED Undead Valley, and wanted your name on the Hall of Fame/emailed in your details, please use the link below to go to the Undead Valley Hall of Fame, and see if anything's wrong with what I've got. Thanks! If there is something wrong, please email me, PM me, or just post the problem here, and I'll get to work on it as soon as possible. If the URL looks weird, it's because I'm using a sub-domain off mum's business server. The site: (please go to "My Scenarios" and then choose "Undead Valley" and "Hall of Fame" It's done like this cause it uses two separate frames) http://micael.tamarvalleyart.com Thanks, and I hope that I'll have it all fixed soon.

Avernum question in The Avernum Trilogy
Archmagus Micael Agent Member # 4506	written Sunday, August 14 2005 03:10 Profile Homepage #14 quote: Originally written by Espionage: perhaps changing the topic of the thread again, but do you have any advice on character generation, i played exile alot so i have som idea, but the "character types" area is a bit confusing, anything that i should stay away from? Well, personally, I find that a "Soldier", a "Cleric", a "Mage", and a "Mage/Cleric/Archer" is the best combination. But that's just me. All of their types are custom (They aren't actually those above types, just have insane training in them), as I normally give each character at least 1 level in Priest skill, so they can heal themselves. But it's just how you like to play. You may want a singleton, or whatever. Most peopel who've polayed exile complain about the loss of two PC slots, but as I always played with 4 chars anyway...

Is there a way, using Javascript, that I might be able to do this? I'm sure that I can come up with something weird to do this (putting transparent boxes in front of the pictures), but using the proper method would probably be best. Thanks. The Website in question is here Go to the CARDS section, and press on the pictures, it brings up a larger version of that picture. Those are the ones I want to protect.

Turning off full-screen? in Geneforge Series
Archmagus Micael Agent Member # 4506	written Thursday, August 11 2005 10:04 Profile Homepage #9 The problem with ALT + TAB is that it doesn't minimize the program, it just puts it "behind" the thing(s) you called up. And if the windows are different sizes... So if you're trying to hide things, the WIN key is probably better, but if you're just flipping through things, use ALT + TAB.
