Did YOU Cheat? in The Exile Trilogy

Avatars in General
Challox Apprentice Member # 5578	written Tuesday, March 15 2005 11:59 Profile #15 First, I'd like to say that Avatars are one of the best innovations of the Message Boards idea. They make it easy to recognize anyone at a glance, which is a good thing. I'm not familiar with UBB at all. I don't know whether its possible, but my favorite solution is one that I've seen used with vBulletin, which is to have a restricted list of (small) avatars that you can choose from, and good boards conduct can get you a Custom Avatar. Failing that, it would be good to look into limiting avatars to 80x80 or some-such-thing. Failing that, I guess we could do without them. :( As to newbie questions, they will always exist. They always have existed. They will never stop existing, failing total destruction of the Universe. No, not just the world. If any newbies survived the destruction of the world, they would be asking "wy cant i breeth in teh space??!/1/!?!/!!" Only destruction of the Universe will totally get rid of Newbie Questions.

Challox Apprentice Member # 5578	written Tuesday, March 15 2005 11:51 Profile #7 China Men by Maxine Hong Kingston. Gives an idea of things that have happened to the Chinese through a long period of time, told through stories about her family members. I'm not reading it right now, but I'd like to say that Last Chance to See by Douglas Adams and Mark Carwardine is my favorite non-fiction book ever. Told in the inimitable Douglas Adams style, it tells the stories of his journeys to try to see many different endangered species in a program sponsored by the BBC. It's funny (the BBC has a very... unique way of waterproofing microphones) and deep at the same time! It made me want to save those poor Kakapo Parrots in a way no dry essay or inflammatory rant could. I would recommend it to all Douglas Adams fans, and anyone really. ahem Right. Sorry about that. ;) -------------------- What kind of idiot quotes himself? My kind of idiot! "As to newbie questions, they will always exist. They always have existed.

In the center of the small cavern there is a pentagram engraved on the floor and 5 sacks of gold. You make off with the gold, probably courtesy of an evil wizard somewhere. He's probably going to kill you someday.","Oh well."); set_flag(200,6,1); change_coins (1 * 200); break; The script works fine for when I first go over the cave, but if I run the party over the terrain square again, I get this message: o00Northwest Error: Missing ( in Line 84.

The best way to make a scenario realistic is to include those little things, like trash in crates or "useless" NPCs, that don't serve any real game purpose but still are fun when you find them.
