BoA Graphics Comp Winners - Splash Screens in Blades of Avernum

Kalinging Song took the day.

First place went to the- and I'm biased in saying this- outstanding March. The Road Down took second place. Sunset Airship and Chemical Torch both took Top 25% positions in third and fourth place respectively.

Other point winners were Kalinging's other two entrants, Dahak's variants on Perfect Forest and Frahhamn's tree. Thanks to the entrants and judges!

(And apologies for the delay- 'Twas a continuing rush to complete Canopy that got me this time.)

Yes. Yes I am. >_<

I blame my pirating anime, personally.

You're talking about a BoE scenario?

That changes things.

Derived characteristics are untouched by item-gained stats. For instance, a priest wearing BS's antimagic necklace still has high rune reading.

Honestly, it's basically +10% Lifesaver with other added bonuses. If you think that cheating death ain't as good as elemental resistance... :P

You don't need a comma before conjunctions in English.

Example:
Weisst du, wenn es käse gibt?
Would translate as...
Do you know if there is cheese?

Notice- no comma. (It's odd doing it from the other way as well.)

Unless it uses separate frames for each individual movement, it ain't frame animation. Just FYI.

I'm not sure that I was arguing for/against porting- I was just putting information out. (Honestly, I wouldn't be entirely adverse to a simple, low-bandwidth JS site to do my dirty work.)

On the other side of the coin, though, most big-name designers from the BoE era are gone or inactive. So people on both platforms will probably need tools to get them started, since so few experienced people are around. (Not that BoE was any better, but I'd like to think that we could start better this time.)

Cable for me costs 50$ per month. It's not a lot, considering how much I abuse it- the amount of anime I pirate (200mb per episode, roughly) is totally obscene, which reduces my browsing speed to that of middle-range dialup. But hell, I ain't complaining.

Honestly, I think sometimes it's better to dress more "conservatively" if you're endowed enough that everything is clearly visible in spite of your attire. Well, that's not to insult the less-endowed gal wearing a tanktop, but the super-endowed girl who wears the turtleneck speaks of something powerful as well.

I think everyone should have a homosexual experience at least once in their life to know if they like it or not.

Dahak took first, but Luz squeezed by with both of the other places.

(Splash screens will be done tomorrow- my connection is iffy tonight, and geocities is being a total bitch to load. Espect it t'morrow now, y'hear?)

Your template isn't correct, though Jeff uses a partial wallset in DwtD, and I've also tried custom ones- they work just fine.
Just check some of the ones that come with the game using ResEdit.

If Martin Heidegger weren't on the list, I'd also make a rule about having to read 'em all. And then I'd make a lyric line for Foulcault.

Economy of Rights not Ownership in General

Except with communism, you would always be protected by way of the coersion- taxes would be collected for all that you owned, but only insomuch as it payed for your housing, health care, education, sustenance, et cetera. So it's not like "capitalism" at all, since it provides everyone with a safety net whereas its antipathy would see fit to let everyone else die.

Even if there's some degree of "corruption," there will be a safety net to keep you alive rather than a hollow notion of self-improvement whose death was unannounced for centuries. And hell, both the twisted version of "communism" and its "capitalist" counterpart both see fit to tear away civil liberties left and right, so I'm not entirely sure anymore that it was a good thing that we "won" the cold war after all.
