Yes, we do. Letting out rage is good, and letting it out at something deserving (as well as the cause) makes it even better.

Exile Cave floor doesn't share many similarities with row two of this sheet, which is what came with Exodus. Maybe there was a problem converting?

Is anyone else suffering from the floor type 174 and its ilk (aka in the Strange Cave)? It honestly, not in a joking sort of way, makes my eyes ache.

I suspect that its repeating pattern, combined with the alteration between dark and neon blue, are to blame. My eye muscles strain when looking at it, maybe because they go from looking at a very bright color to a dark one and then back again so quickly.

By the way, I've created a replacement version for myself. If anyone else wants it, I can make it available.

Israel - Lebanon conflict in General

[b]For those that claim Israel has taken away the Palestinian land. The Palestianians got two states in 1948. One was Jordan and the other one Palestine was seized by Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Egypt in 1948 during the first war.

Israel captured territory from Egypt (Gaza), Jordan (West Bank), and Syria (Golan Heights) in 1967. The Palestinians were going to get the land back from Israel when they completed peace negotiations but Arafat, Hamas, etc. preferred to start a new war in order to get even the land of Israel in addition to what they now claim is there state. You notice between 1948 and 1967 none of the Arab countries formed the captured territory into a Palestinian state. They kept the Palestinians in refugee camps in order to have a "cause."

[/b]
I notice that you gloss over the way that Israel got its territory in the first place.

Randomizer:
All Israel has gotten for its efforts is attacked. That they have retaliated with so much restraint as to minimize civilian casualties is overlooked. Hamas has deliberately sent suicide bombers against such military targets as holiday dinners, schools, pizza parlors, etc. and poorly targeted mortars and rockets in the general area of Israel. Hey any Jew is a legitimate target since he might be a soldier. Hezbollah has 15,000 rockets that they have been firing into northern Israel for years. They now can go 30 miles past the border into Haifa. Lebanon has for years been told by the UN to disarm Hezbollah and take back control of southern Lebanon from them but they have refused. Now some people are compalining that Lebanon is "innocent."

Who claims that Lebanon is innocent? We claim that the Lebanese people are innocent.

Its these things which irritate me to such an extent that I'm prepared to beat the one up who said it, and that's probably because me mother is from israel. In my opinion, these sort of comments are made purely and only because the Israelis seem to be so strong. Please people, and I ask this only favour of you, think of the history of the Jews. Once THEY were slaughtered and killed, that the total population of Jews got decreased dramatically. They know how it is to be wiped out! It doesn't seem to matter to people that dozens of people are being killed by suicide attacks in israel (but people do care about the same attacks in Iraq!), but a missile attack at which a house got burned is something outrages. in any case, that's the view I get from hearing what people say and watching the news. Tell me if I'm wrong (you will, I just know it).

I am amused. You need a thesaurus, my friend. "Fight" can mean several very different things, one of which is "struggle" or "engage in a fight", which implies no aggession on the part of the fighter; however, it can also, in context, mean "attack" or "oppress".

I leave it up to you to make the descision this time, and maybe you won't make another slip.

Funny, considering Hezbollah got those rockets from Iran. Both Iran and Syria have a long history of supporting Hezbollah.

1. Hezbolla is currently targeting Israeli homes. Israel is targeting Lebanese bridges and airport. I agree that targetting civillian infrustructure is bad, but is it as bad as targeting homes?

2. Hezbolla was the one who launched the first attack.

So why are Hezbolla's attacks against civilian houses criticised less than Israeli attacks against dual use infrastructure used by Hezbolla?

Because everyone is against Hezbollah, while not everyone agrees about Israel.

I am wondering how USA, Canada, or whatever country you are from, would react to rockets fired at its border towns and an attack against border guards. (I have hard time imagining US shrugging off a barrage of Katusha rockets launched at San Diego suburbs followed by an attack against border guards.)

An attack like the one Hezbolla launched would be considered a start of war if it was directed against any other country in the world.

So an attack from a government is considered justification for bombing its citizens?

That would be like holding Iraq responsible for Saddam's attacks on various countries, or America for George Bush's attack on Iraq.

Ah, the Israelis. They just keep on fighting, no matter who or what their enemy.

I haven't been keeping up with the Israel-centric news; I've been more interested in the threats to and possibly from Iran. So I'd like to point out right now that I know very little about Lebanese history and their past infractions against Israel.

Based on the article, it seems that Israel has caused more than two deaths with their attacks on civilian buildings, such as the airport. If so, I would like someone to explain to me why innocent Lebanese civilian lives are worth less than Israeli soldier lives.

Plus he gets to come back to visit. Jesus gets eaten by those cannibal Catholics. Which explains why Catholicism is so popular among cannibals. They like a religion that emphasizes eating powerful leaders.

Script error in Blades of Avernum Editor
Agent
Member # 5814
Profile #3
1) It's not really necessary to post the entire script when it's this long
2) In line 98, the name of the terrain is "mine"; did you want it to be "Mine"?
3) In line 225, the terrain's name is "boat"; were you looking for "Boat"?
4) In lines 315 and 320, the letter "I" is defined twice and there is no letter "J".
5) In line 631, you wrote "Flaming piller". Were you thinking of "Flaming pillar"?

I'm sorry I can't help you with your actual problem, but it appears that there is no line 739 in your script so I can't find the error.

EDIT: Wow. So easy to spot, now that you know where it is.

Arcane Shield is good against the (preserving secrecy here) G509 monsters, who have really bad melee attacks but weak breath attacks.

Control Foes is good in the really big battles, but I've never been a fan of that spell; it slows down my killing.

Once you get them, spells 17 and 18 out of the spellbook are really good against groups.

Peter Jackson did it.

Also, I think that any Geneforge would make a bad movie because of the many different sides to pick.

If I had to make a movie set in Avernum, it probably wouldn't follow any of the game plots. It'd probably be set during the Empire-Avernum war.
