Edits or not, your graphics are far more useful than Zeeqon's. They're (obviously) both of high quality, I just thought that weapons had more potential use than Shellfish is all. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

In a very strong category by comparison, Original Terrain brought in a slew of graphics whose scores were above 7.0- quite a feat. The winner was Luz Piazuelo with her Wall of Water, narrowly edging out over her nearest competitor who (to much surprise) was not herself. Big Blue's Yellow Brick Road took second (and rightfully so!), and earned its Top 10% finish. Third and the extra +5 points also went to Luz for her (apparently) lesser Wall of Fire. Also worthy of mention is Zeeqon's Paintings, which while not placing were only .1 away from +5 to their author's total. Every other graphic in the category scored +2 for competency except for Zeeqon's Spear Trap and TGM's Blue Wall, both of whom earned points with other entries. Congrats to all! -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

FINALLY! http://www.geocities.com/blyceum/Olympia/BoA_gfx_comp/items/ In what honestly turned out to be a piss-poor category, there were three point-earners. Incidentally, these were the three winners of the category. Andrew Budden's Assorted Items took first place. Zeeqon's Shellfish took an incredibly close second. Zeeqon's food took third. Everything else scored under a 6.0, except for Big Blue's pudding which scored massively under 6.0. There was a tie in this category between the Assorted Items and Shellfish. Since I didn't want to call in an interrum judge (none who were eligible were also online), I added .2 points to which of the two graphics I felt was better if I had to choose (which I did). Both graphics deserve recognition, I just wanted to point this out was all. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

(OOC: The herbalist is named Penny. And, I must reiterate, Hidorian basically can't touch the CK at all except for fake wounds that she can recuperate from instantaneously.) It was a new pimp in a new bordello. No liberated whore was ever taught the ways of earning a living wage of the value of human dignity. Her eyes were focused on the cieling, shifting to the pillow or the side of the wall depending on the position. It was humiliating, but she was used to it by now. No longer. The red mark on her chest disappeared, and her eyes glowed red as her entire body froze. The sailor was confused, as was expressed by his facial expression. (This did not stop him from comitting the act he paid good money to perform here, however.) Suddenly, the whore grew a bit taller; a bit stronger. Her skin turned white. A black fluid issued forth from her bosom and hip. The sailor tried to remove himself, but the black liquid surrounded his member and crushed it. The sailor stumbled backwards as the whore stood upright. She was reborn into a new and powerful being. She pointed at the sailor, and her hand turned into a black needle which pierced his heart in an instant. "Who were those men, whose auras glowed as mine did? No, I cannot allow them to live, nor can I allow them to keep their abilities. Yes, they must perish. But how? Nevermind that, I must move quickly now." She stormed out of the room she was in, retracting her finger and pointing it out into the hallway. It crept around through the wooden wall, piercing into every used room and killing those therein. She hadn't used all of her powers previously out of arrogance, and would not be outdone next time. The whores began to flee, and as they did, she waited for them at the exit and grazed all of them on their exposed bosoms as they left. They had not taken care to notice while her actions were so swift. "I will not allow these deeds to be perpetrated." ---- Darixen laid on the ground, thoroughly exhausted. Meteus Rogue looked briefly at the body, but he found nothing but a red fluid. Motes of light had escaped from it, to what destination he could only begin to fathom. Adam had came and went, and now he had Hidorian to worry about. Previously, Hidorian looked proud and mighty. His spells appeared to be fearsome. Now, however, new thoughts filled Meteus' head. No longer was the House Rogue to be intimidated by a serpentine punk. He created a blade of flame in his palm and leaped at serpent five feet away, dispatching it instantly and effortlessly. He did not want to risk death by pursuing the woman again, but she and her defeat remained in the back of his mind. Hidorian seemed to be less harmful and more of a fool. More of... a nuisance. -------------------- 人 た ち を 燃 え る た め に 俺 は か れ ら に 火 を 上 げ る か ら 死 ん だ Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

The Cavern Knight Held her hand over her face, and a large portion of it became covered in a red forcefield of sorts. It appeared to be translucent, but already bits of what appeared to be blood were collecting in its bottom. A few curses later, she began running towards Darixen and leaped directly into the air and hit the ground with what appeared to be a shovel in place of her feet. Her arms were raised into blades after she had used her flexible nature to hurl Darixen their way. Whether healed or not, Darixen was not immune to lacerations. He was sliced open on each pectoral muscle, causing him to stumble to the ground. He quickly regained his footing, but felt a searing pain all over his body. Slivers were emerging across his skin, particularly where he was forked prior. He looked at the blood on the ground and saw that it was emitting red motes of light. His skin was simultaneously not as illuminated as it was before. He was returning to normal- he had to not be hit again, lest he lose his powers and his life. He charged at the Cavern Knight. His movements were slowed marginally, but simultaneously were his opponent's. The wench was still massively quicker than anyone else on the field, but her loss of Genuine blood had caused her to lose bits of her power. If there was a way to defeat her, this had to be it. ---- Adam stared over Meteus. "Make your choice." "I can defeat her on my--" "Nonsense. You need my power- some of it, but not all of it." "Some, but not all?" "I cannot fight her. Only you enchanted mortals can fight her. I can no longer harm her. To kill her is your duty which you must accept." -------------------- 人 た ち を 燃 え る た め に 俺 は か れ ら に 火 を 上 げ る か ら 死 ん だ Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

You have entered a spin zone. "Can somebody please cut his mic?" ...Holy Jesus on a pogo stick. Let me respond to these as best I can: "I never lectured him, merely told him that I feel that it is unappropriate for this to be here. If he has been here for so much longer then I, he should know what goes where." You weren't lecturing me- you were just telling me what I should and shouldn't do is all. You think I don't know the rules? And heck, if Alec's post can go in the BoA forum, a test that clearly demonstrates the lack of understanding of Blades of Exile is indicative of clearly drawn-out failures of the BoA gaming body. "I never said anything to the contrary. I said that if it wasn't for the "success" of BOE." The quotations are supposed to indicate that Blades of Exile wasn't successful? "I realize that. However, the fun (for me anyways) is not in playing other people's scenarios. It is in the designing of new ones." This makes your position all the more contradictory. But more on that as I get to it. "As stated before. Beyond that (no offense to the designers) there are absolutely no good scenarios that have come out for BOA to date. Babysitting was the closest one to an actually worthwhile scenario (Some were decent, but not to my particular liking). I feel that regardless of Jeff's bad reputation because of less then enthuisiastic support for BOE, most people need to realize that if they like the games, Jeff is the one to thank for that. So I don't know if it's been done, but I think the community absolutely does need to thank Jeff." All hail Jeff! Is that all? Honestly. Ingrates who spew vitriol at the community, an incredibly hard-working body (I should know, though I wouldn't call myself its best contributor), express incredible irritation after six years of neglect to assist them in a task that they do FOR FREE. (When was the last time a monetary reward was offered for a contest? I forget, but I sure haven't won any, and I don't think Alcritas, Stareye or Drizzt have either.) Essentially, it comes down to the fact that the amount of respect we as designers give to Jeff is equal to the amount of respect he gives us as active participants in the act of adding value to his product with absolutely no reward. But even beyond that, what flat-out pisses me off the most is the fact that neophyte imps are wandering around, insinuating that they somehow know what makes roleplaying good, and all of the hard-earned innovation and development of technique of seven years prior has essentially been dismissed as anachronistic in an attempt to revert to the days where slaying an orc was considered to be a passable plot. The ignorance angers me, and the fact that games to not appear to be evolving appalls me. Cut the ignorance- buy Blades of Exile and play its best scenarios. Perhaps if everyone were to do this and add sophistocation to their tastes, complaints like "this scenario is too linear!" or "Where were the secret passages?" wouldn't be flooding that damned review page so much. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

Cavern Knight, being resourceful as she was, quickly knocked the flaming crystal out of her way out of instinct. Well, she quickly realized her error, but it was too late to actually be hit in her left arm, which had now been frozen into a lifeless hunk of useless flesh which at this point was as useful to her as would a backpack full of scrap iron. Frustrated, she continued to parry Meteus' daggers. Well, she didn't have reason to be frustrated for long. The saber which Meteus had hurled skywards descended directly into her frozen appendage, shattering it on the spot. The wench tried to push her arm out of the living stump now revealed, but nothing came out. Suddenly, she looked to the ground and noticed the frozen shreds of her former arm. They were moving. Another dagger came at her, but she countered with one of the chunks of her flesh. A wide grin swept over her visage, and the black shards strewn over the ground lept into the air. Meteus realized what was happening too late to counter it effectively. The daggers he was tossing at the Cavern Knight were nothing in comparison to a myriad of shrapnel bits flying at him. To his credit, he did manage to leap high into the air, but he also realized one of the Cavern Knight's nastier abilities in his most vulnerable moment as his ascent came to a halt. He retrieved his daggers and tried to protect his vitals. This did not prevent the majority of his limbs from suffering grievous puncture wounds. He took a quick glance at Hidorian and made the wisest choice that he could have in that instance. He feigned defeat and dropped to the ground. The warmth of his body turned the shrapnel back into liquid which collected back at her arm, leaving her seemingly unscratched. Things looked well for the pale-skinned damsel of mayhem, but then she was stricken by a fire-ice crystal. It did not allow the Knight to transform her body into potential bullets, which meant that it did not risk potentially killing him. The corrupted Knight put both palms on the ground, they turned a solid black, and then shifted around for a while before returning to their normal shape. Hidorian fired another fiery crystal at the maiden, and much to his benefit too. A black spike shot forth from the ground and instantly broke the attack, giving Hidorian the heads-up on what was coming at him. The moment he felt the other potential spike rising up from under him, he put his palms together and appeared behind the knight. She was shocked, and could not retract both spikes nearly quickly enough to prepare herself for what was coming. Meanwhile, Darixen got up off of the ground with healed wounds and a renewed vigor. His body became drenched with what appeared to be blood, and were it possible, he appeared to be even more muscular. His club was glowing gently red. Since he was in the same direction as Hidorian, the Cavern Knight noticed him as she turned her head. Hidorian was no longer of any concern... As this was happening, a white-skinned man with black clothes was hovering over Meteus' corpse. He was surprised greatly when Meteus got up and backed away from him spiritedly- or as spiritedly as one whose limbs were torn open could manage. "Who the hell are you?" whispered Meteus as loudly as he could, as not to attract the knight's attention. "I'll be brief. Let me lay my hands down upon you, and I will heal your wounds and give you the power to do real damage to the Crimson Knight." "Who?" "The woman over there. It's her name." "I see. Wait, who are you?" "You'll know in all good time. For now, call me Adam." ---- (OOC: Wiseman has a choice to accept this or not. Darixen didn't since he was not conscious. Anyway, what's new about Darixen is that when he strikes any white portion of her body, ie. that which is not being used as a weapon, her physical body is damaged. Not much, but somewhat. Also, Darixen is generally stronger and quicker. Same deal applies to Meteus if he accepts it.) -------------------- 人 た ち を 燃 え る た め に 俺 は か れ ら に 火 を 上 げ る か ら 死 ん だ Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

Slam! Darixen was quickly learning how great of a disadvantage somebody with an affixed structure had against another who could morph his or her body at will. Darixen had strong back muscles, fortunately enough for him, so when one of the woman's arms turned into a fork and pierced his shoulders, he was spared extra damage from the tree he was thrown into. Meteus Rogue clearly wasn't going to let this happen. His boomerang lit on fire, and he tossed it directly at her. The woman retracted her arm and ducked out of the way, and sliced Meteus Rogue cleanly in the face from ten feet away. Fortunately, it was mostly his cheek and the side of his nose which were damage. The woman clearly wasn't prepared, however, when the boomerang came back and struck her in the waist, searing her badly and cutting a wide swath through her torso. "Damnation!" shouted she as she grasped her side. She scowled and glowed red for an instant, her right leg being the place where the glow was most concentrated. She raised her right leg and shot an empty kick at Meteus, but he was wise to her ways and ducked out of the way. Well, wise he was partially, but when she saw that he was going to dodge, her foot twisted around and struck him in the head as if it were steel. Mateus cussed briefly as he struggled to get up from the ground. The woman smiled briefly, but was interrupted by the sound of a heavy foot on grass. She turned her head, and then her head was turned dramatically in the other direction by Darixen's club. The woman's right leg prevented her from flying out of the way, however, and she punched Darixen solidly in his right cheek, sending him ricocheting away from her as he did not have such protection. It was clear that the warriors were to get assistance, lest they die on the spot. -------------------- 人 た ち を 燃 え る た め に 俺 は か れ ら に 火 を 上 げ る か ら 死 ん だ Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

Night had come. Darixen was the sentry of the eve, but lo and behold, he fell into a deep slumber. "They sleep the virtuous sleep in the void of conscious relativity. Let me awaken them as to move these gears of fate..." ---- A roar pierced the midnight air and caused the Cavern Knight to shiver mightily. It was as she feared- she had not noticed one of the warriors creeping into the cave, and now Kyeinoss was in peril. She dashed to the scene. Darixen had already smote the dragon, brast her neck and slain her forthwith. He was covered in the blood of the dragon and held in his hand her heart which was still pulsating rythmically. She was infuriated, and took no pause in morphing her hand into a lance which she immediately aimed at Darixen. Darixen parried the lance, and before it molded itself into a spiked whip and embraced him, he climbed the dragon up to the cieling and forced a hole in it with his club. He got up just in time, as the Cavern Knight was hot on his tail. He lept down from the cave and began running, while the contrast warrior spent a few seonds seeking him out. She was surprised at his speed, but was catching up rapidly nevertheless. Darixen soon saw the campfire through a thicket and dove off to the side, forcing the infuriated and inhuman maiden to stop abruptly five feet ahead of him. Darixen's doppleganger immediately spotted his genuine simulacrum and hurled the heart through the thicket at him before becoming invisible and lying prostrate on the ground. The real Darixen was awakened with a jolt as a solid object careened into his chest. It had not hurt him, but he felt odd. He felt... Moist. He was covered in blood and had an organ sitting at his feet. This was all that he could realize, however, before the wrathful scream of a white-skinned maiden preceded the aforementioned damsel's arrival by way of leaping through the bushes with what appeared to be a black sword aimed for his head. The sound of Darixen's parrying woke up the rest of the party, who soon were shocked by what they saw. ---- (OOC: As a general guideline, the abilities for the gal are incredible speed and the ability to morph herself into weapons. She's basically a berserker at this point; anything that could be said will have no effect on her. Feel free to kill her if you think the characters have enough ability to do so, but I would consider running as a feasible strategy otherwise.) -------------------- 人 た ち を 燃 え る た め に 俺 は か れ ら に 火 を 上 げ る か ら 死 ん だ Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

Like Alec's survey, except this one is about Blades of Exile only.
