Episode 3: A New Game in General
Jumpin Salmon ? Man, ? Amazing Member # 5755	written Thursday, October 19 2006 19:58 Profile #4 Villain work is difficult. Just ask ET. I'll be the cool lizard that the guy rides around that has suckers on its feet and is all cool and stuff. Him. But likely the script will have little to do with the Sith episode. Maybe #27 will get mentioned though. He's a slith. That's pretty close. -------------------- quote: Originally written by Kelandon: Well, I'm at least pretty sure that Salmon is losing.

Be kind to those of us with less than stellar connections, it is not always an available convenience. Other than that, nice plans, good to see a lot of things that may not happen in the future, especially if the bridge was accidently burnt. Oh, and why the background? I notice it is the same as Nemesis'. Are you the same person? Are you? Well? :P -------------------- quote: Originally written by Kelandon: Well, I'm at least pretty sure that Salmon is losing.

Invisibility in General
Jumpin Salmon ? Man, ? Amazing Member # 5755	written Thursday, October 19 2006 14:33 Profile #4 quote: Originally written by Hypertoroid: —Alorael, who can't imagine what countermeasure one could use against bending light besides better resolution to detect slight perturbation and the use of lower wavelengths for detection. Countermeasures? How about shooting blindly at any sound, and perceived shift in a shadow, or anything that vaguely resembes a deer (or a deer-like thingamajig)? That's how hunters do it in these parts, especially with the deer wearing invisibility cloaks. For the record, deer sized invisibility cloaks are closely related to beer goggles. -------------------- quote: Originally written by Kelandon: Well, I'm at least pretty sure that Salmon is losing.

Well isn't that special? She wants to be informed... Fine. Yes, some kindly folks from "away" sponsored this ballot measure. Yes, I've heard lots of complaining from Oregonians. Now that election time is upon us, I hear more complaining about this particular issue. There may be some connection. Yes, it is likely that Doonesbury will lampoon this state shortly after the election. Not necessarily for this BM though. ... The major change to the law is that in the event of a successful appeal by the property owner, the state must pay all legal fees used in the defense of the property. Also, or further, the state will pay all legal fees if the final accepted offer from the state is higher* than the initial offer by the state. ... The state of Oregon allows concerned (actually, anyone) parties the right to have published their opinions (pro and con) about each ballot measure. Pro ballot measure parties... David Hunnicutt (chief petitioner, Neighbors helping Neighbors Committee, 12 paid opinions) Oregon Assoc of REALTORS. Anti ballot measure parties... League of Women Voters of Oregon American Planning Association One argument in favor refers to a close friend of mine, who was driven off her ancestral lands (since 1946) by the invasion of a big box store. She is now a richer woman, but lacks the roots provided by owning a piece of property for a real long time. Any more informed and you will actually be able to vote effectively. ;) -------------------- quote: Originally written by Kelandon: Well, I'm at least pretty sure that Salmon is losing.* Posts: 4114 \| Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00

Jumpin Salmon ? Man, ? Amazing Member # 5755	written Thursday, October 19 2006 10:10 Profile #0 Current laws allows the taking of private property by government upon the showing of a public purpose and the payment of just compensation for the property. Ballot Measure 39 makes changes to Oregon statutes by limiting the authority of the government to condemn residences, business establishments, and farms or forest operations if the government intends to subsequently transfer an interest in the property to another private individual. A Yes vote indicates approval of a change in the current law. A No vote indicates approval of the current law. As always, discuss. There are plenty of underlying issues and non-issues here.

Is the shooting offense for, a) not being monitored while making out in the closet? b) not being monitored while leaving an unmanned post? c) abandoning a post for which they are responsible? d) mistaking the closet for a conjugal visit trailer? or, e) failure to show proper discipline in the face of those primordial urges?

How she was portrayed in UV, or why she was chosen as villain, is most likely an error. The point about BoA/E is that the player (you) will react with the scenario is a certain way. Each player will react differently. Some people (gasp!!!) try to kill every creature in every town. Does that make them the villain? Or would the local militia be the villains?

Jumpin Salmon ? Man, ? Amazing Member # 5755	written Wednesday, October 18 2006 22:27 Profile #39 No, you aren't over-reacting. You're just being silly. Hilter was a power hungry schemer that used people's fears as a tool to ultimate power. The vacuum he created served as the catalyst for much we know about him, and for many of the actions which were taken in his name. Rentar is basically an unknown commodity. We meet her in E2, she gives us quickfire. All we know at this stage is that she is uber mage for that tribe of the vahnatai, and she appears to have a chip on her shoulder. How she was portrayed in UV, or why she was chosen as villain, is most likely an error. Some of your rhetoric is admirable, since it helps drown out rational thought, but this bit quote: I say Hitler, any objections? makes my skin peel. Pol Pot Joseph Stalin Attila and kin various Chinese leaders whom I'm not priveleged enough to know various RCC overlords and their Inquisitors Union Carbide My point is that there are plenty of "real-life and have lived" villains. Hell, you can probably find one in your own school. The point about BoA/E is that the player (you) will react with the scenario is a certain way. Each player will react differently. Some people (gasp!!!) try to kill every creature in every town. Does that make them the villain? Or would the local militia be the villains? Meh, never mind. It's time to go check the statistics anyways.

Many of my fine villanous brethren would be excluded from our ranks if you had your way. You speak as if you command legion and your opinion is law. Are you, too, a villain?

Plumbing the depths... in General
Jumpin Salmon ? Man, ? Amazing Member # 5755	written Wednesday, October 18 2006 21:35 Profile #1 I too have seen the depths of hell. For plot, nominated was Revenge of the Sith and Butterfly Effect. For utter lack of cool computer graphics (man), the academy liked The Day After Tomorrow (which is about when you return to your senses after watching this dreck.) For total incompetence in directing, casting, and editing, Sahara gave a good showing, but Hidalgo ran away with the award. Lifetime non achievement award (baseball movies notwithstanding) the award is given (again) to Kevin Costner, who proved once again that there are ..... deeper depths to plumb in his acting. -------------------- quote: Originally written by Kelandon: Well, I'm at least pretty sure that Salmon is losing.

I had a problem with a program not too long ago, can't remember it's name, but all of a sudden, I notice that my whole computer is slowing down. (I'm using this term loosely; my computer can't get much slower.) I open task manager, only to find out that this program had already drained 100 MB of memory and was STILL burning up more memory. I had 5 MB of free RAM when I finally managed to shut the thing down. That said, I never under-estimated the power of virtual memory again. Are you sure you're not thinking of Avernum 4? I had that problem until I stopped playing it. Although now I believe it has been fixed. -------------------- quote: Originally written by Kelandon: Well, I'm at least pretty sure that Salmon is losing.
