So this guy is tending a bar, you see, when Rumsfeld and Bush come strolling in.

So this barkeep walks up to the two and says, "Hey! What do you plan to do with your second term?"

And so Rumsfeld says, "We're going to start World War III by killing a million muslims and a big-breasted blonde chick."

The barkeep, bamboozled, says, "Why the big-breasted blonde chick?"

And so Rumsfeld says, "See, George? I told you nobody would care about the million muslims."

"A single death is a tragedy, a million is a statistic." (Stalin)

In all seriousness, there's nothing any of us can really do to make ourselves truly realize the suffering taking hold of this region. The best any one of us who has access to a computer and interest in computer games (one of the pinnacles of opulence) can do is generally admonish suffering and wish the best. Do any of us believe in the suffering of the southeast Asians? Of course; but the truth is, none of us believe in their sufferings enough.

West of the training area.
(I had planned on giving that room a description- It's a birthing area- but then I realized that the party would have no way of knowing this.)

Sadly enough, Squaresoft was my biggest influence- I basically made a combat system that was an amalgam of Sword of Mana, Golden Sun and a few others and then made situations that would make this sort of thing interesting.

If Roots, NTH, Corporeus or Areni were longer, they'd suffer like DM2, Final Fantasy 7, Spy's Quest and Quinessence do.

I'm comparing scores on the CSR with scores from Spidweb, and even though this is a highly tenuous way of determining spidweb table rankings, for the sake of posterity, post your rankings of Vogel's four scenarios (In 1-5 scores, please):

Average Scores Thusfar:

Valley of the Dying Things- 3.49 (6.98)
A Small Rebellion- 4.23 (8.46)
Za-Khazi Run- 3.00 (6.00)
Diplomacy with the Dead- 3.47 (6.94)

Players! If you think peoples' talking in the cutscenes goes too quickly/slowly, you have a special ability called "Set cutscene speed" which allows you to set the speed at which text is displayed.

Just thought I'd let you know.

quote:
- The Bugbear Mage killed me at full health with the martyrs beam, even though it said it only did 20 damage. Is this supposed to happen?
Yes. (It actually does 100 damage- If this is killing you, then you're patently weak. Cast Enduring Barrier to get above the 100HP mark before killing the mage or quaf an invulnerability potion.)

quote:
- Fuswi(?) never turned hostile towards me.
Fusei turned hostile for me and, apparently, my testers as well. I have no idea what could be going wrong- Do you get an error message?

quote:
- I left Klugman(?) the mage Lieutenant alive, yet the warrior lieutenant I killed was the one to show up later. I ended up with two Summon Achilles and none of Klugmans special items.
Again, I do not know what is going on- I am not experiencing the error, sorry! Are you given any error messages? I will eventually try to use different SDFs for these values in the next version; perhaps that will solve the problem(s).

If you made the choice that purposefully and undeniably made it a bigger risk, you deserve to be punished for disregarding human life.

By your argument, you could justify the death penalty because the people who are executed unfairly are merely part of the collateral price of it.

I agree that the person who actually committed the murder should pay a heavy fine, but if you make a distinction between the two of them, then you will not sufficiently deter the person who only damaged the automobile from committing the same act again and endangering the people in occupied automobiles.

Similarly, you will not deter people who are confident in their own abilities while inebriated. Being drunk can delude an individual into thinking that she or he is more capable than he or she had previously assumed. If an individual risks further punishment only based on their circumstances, she or he will factor in his or her skewed sense of prowess, resulting in more drunk driving. A bad thing all around.

The point of laws is to keep people safe from one another (among other things). If you punish people differently, you jeopardize more lives.

EDIT: And hey, if the mortally negligent person had to pay a price for killing the person, then make the other individual pay the same amount. More money from the state coming out of the pockets of morons is never a bad thing.

If you want, you can change them so that they are blocked to the north and west respectively.

The punishment should go to the state for not providing a more comprehensive public transportation system.

In the meantime, punish them both equally. Alec's example of president-murdering is not a feasible one; inebriating one's self does intrinsically harm somebody, but while inebriated, the car can be used as a weapon. Similarly, I believe that it should be a crime to be armed while pissed, and wearing a blindfold while holding a firearm should be explicitly illegal, as should holding a firearm without a license. If somebody is capable of handling a potential weapon, then they should be allowed to have it; otherwise, they should be punished for wittingly handling a weapon with reduced powers of sentience.

Basically, it boils down to how much your ability to chose is limited. When you take the Tequilla, you're fine. When you take the Tequilla and whip out a shiv, then there's a problem.

If your fighters have Rasereiangriff (and only 5HP left, no less!), they can use it to great effect. Also, make sure to kill the magi that come and help Stossie as reinforcements. They drop energy potions and elixirs. Also, if Naturshand is doing under 180 damage, one of the Wizards drops Shinibiimu which is more effective.

Nightfall by Scott Evans was based off of a novel of the same name by Isaac Asimov. Of course, Evans adapted the idea a great deal, and Nightfall isn't that great anyway.

You're right about state 19, but that would still only be a problem while looking at the box, and it wouldn't cause the town to work when reset. Nevertheless, thanks for pointing out the error. When Jeff responds (and if he has another solution), I'll upload v1.1.

I emailed Jeff asking him what the problem was.

I am not experiencing it, so I do not know how to fix it.

DragynBob also commented on this. Are you people getting any sort of error? I will have to email Jeff about this, because it's only happening to PC users, and the code all seems to be solid. (That is to say, I haven't heard of any errors AFTER reloading.)

Once I figure out the error, I will upload a new version immediately!

Update- If you have a version from before this post, add this to the variables section of bbmagekiller.txt:

short i_gave_alert;

(Or just re-download. It's all the same to me.)
