Yeah, I might has well put up a sign on my head saying "shoot me." It would have had the same effect.

:P

EDIT: Nikki, I don't know how you chose it, but "Greta Garbo" is exactly the name that stuck into my head as "Greta Garbage" and refused to go out. Ever.

There are these words I have started to hate incredivly after having played Battlefield 2 some time. These words are lol, any variations on lol and noob. "Noob" I hate because of the people that use the word, call everybody a noob, while they are the noob. They don't know the difference between "noob" and "newb," I think.

Was this meant to be poetic? If not, I would be very gratefull if you could write this as follows:

If so, then, well, I don't know. it needs a little tinekering I suppose...

Thralni. Seems obvious, no?

It isn't.

in my scenario I have this character called "Thralni." I liked the idea of having a descendent of Thralni of the first expedition. After that, I had some questions for Jeff about scripting and such, and he forwarded me to the SW boards. As I had to pick a name, I picked the main character of my scenario: Thralni.

In summary: Thralni is NOT the guy of the first expedition, but the guy of WtRM.

EDIT: never mind that army part. It was allready commented on.

quote:
Why do certain countries get to develop military technologies and suddenly proclaim others that aren't their allies can't?

Why are so many pro-Israel? Is it fear that we will be thought of as antisemites?

Why does Isreal get a huge military and all their neighbors are harrassed if they start reinforcing their own?

Why does eveyone have to think in black and white? There are so many shades of grey in this world of ours. Why must it always be "good" or "evil"? "Ally" or "enemy"?

1) Inform me about this, as it seems I don't really know what you are talking about.

2) so amny pro-Israeli!? How did you come up with that strange idea?

3) See above. They may be large, but they are underpowered (okay, it's a fact, their pilots are the best, but still)

4) Because that's how a normal human being thinks. can't do all that much about that.

Nuclear activity does not necessarily men that they are going to attack. Not very many people are stupid enough to attack Isreal unprovoked with the U.S. standing by. It would be suicide.

Why would it happen in Iran too?

And are you sure it would be suicide? The UN was helping the Sirians capturing Israeli sholdiers, handing them over to hesbollah (or whatever you spell it in Ebglish)...

Attacking Iran would be like the attack on Lebanon earlier. They attacked and massacred many people, almost all of the civilians. They also attacked reporters. That was an attack on a possible threat.

Isn't the fact that they are busy with uranium, that they plan to operate a nuclear thingy (forgot it's English term) and that one of the world's madman is at the top of the opeartion to qualify it as a possible threat.

And no, the Lebanon thing was a threat, actually, not a possible one. They kidnapped Israeli soldiers, they bombard(ed) Israel with rockets. That's no longer a posibility, that's an actual threat.

Shall we stop about this? I feel it's the same like a Mac-Windows war: none of the parties will be convinced of the other party being right.

I'm sorry, I should have been clearer: you can have sex with somebody younger than you (granted that you start having sex with a person who's eighteen too, of course. Younger in the sense of half a year and such).

Look, if you're country is in danger, even a possible threat can be declared war over. If it's an ethical thing to do is not something people care about when it comes to that point. But let's bring it a bit closer to home. I have some friends in school with which I always b*tch-slap. It's sorta funny I guess... But anyway, at a certain point you will have to be on your guard. You friend can become a possile threat, and you want to be the one dealing the first blow, don't ya?

I thought so.

Of course, comparing a war with a small game at school is like comparing a car accident with the collapse of the WTC, but I don't realy care about that, sorry.

In regards to whether Israel will attack Iran over it's nuclear program -

The US gave Israel an ambiguous response so we can cheer or condemn them based upon the result. It's similar to the one LBJ gave Israel before the 6 Day War.

Israel denies rumors that it is sending bombers on training missions to Gilbraltar in preparation.

The problem with troop surge is that there is no indication that they will be used effectively. Plus there is already an equipment shortage for the troops that are already there,

Meh. Israel won't do it. They may have ace pilots, but they can't risk this gamble. I would be pleased if they did it, but I bet many people espaciall in Europe will only cry about the "poor Iranians," and fail to recognize a possible threat ebing everted.

As you said, though, they don't really have he manpower or equipment at the moment.

Graphics request for TNS in Blades of Avernum
Master
Member # 5977

I would like some outdoor houses and walls in babylonian style, with which I mean small and big houses in sand colour, in the style of the following screenshot from Age of Empires:

IMAGE(http://www.microsoft.com/games/empires/screen14.htm)

What I especially want are hut-like buildings in sand color, some with, some without these sort of triangle shaped things on their roofs. Walls (outdoor walls, not indoor walls) I would like in sand color too, preferably not too broad with wooden poles sticking out at the bottom, with these triangle shaped things on them.

Something like the Ziggurat (which will be a palace in my scenario) which stands on that hill (you can't miss it, it has a huge golden orb on the roof) would also be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance for anybody proposing some graphics. I would be most thankfull.

(By the way, if the picture doesn't appear, I recommand right or control clicking on it, and choose "open in a new window." It works for me...)

EDIT: Typos

You know, Thuryl, some people just don't understand these things. The fact that you think it' easy, doesn't mean that others think it's easy.

No need to be sensitive; I was going for humour. Evidently I failed.

Part B really is very easy, though. Think about it: you have a frictionless slope and an ideal spring. No energy is being lost from the system anywhere, so as the weight falls its gravitational potential energy is converted with 100% efficiency to kinetic energy, which is converted to elastic potential energy stored in the spring, and then the whole process happens again in reverse; the weight has to come back to where it started.

And if you understand part B and know how to calculate gravitational potential energy, you can do part A.

Next time you see me acting like a dick, just assume I'm trying and failing to be funny and ignore me, mkay? It seems like I'm much better at making people hate me than I am at entertaining them. :(

Then I calculated it the right way after all. The fact that it was a slope made me doubt.

Aw, nobody hates you... It's just that I have such a guy in my math class, but he really seems to mean what he says. But okay, as of now I will not take you seriously when you act like a dick, even though you might be exploding of irritating :P

It really depends on what people know of the file. They won't download it (unless they are a bit stupid) if they don't know what it is.

Other than that, you are quite right that nobody will want to download 240 megs worth of comics, unless they are an utter fan of you.

I'm feeling sadistic in Blades of Avernum
Master
Member # 5977

Pangea software uses save points, though in Pangea software's games it's worse: you can only save upon completing an entire level. I can tell you I really hate that, for reasons already mentioned in this thread: if I can't save just before a big battle (for instance) and I lose somehow, I'd try a second time. however, if i have to try it a third time, chances are i'll just stop playing. That is, unless the scenario is very good and I'm curious about the end of it all.

Is there any specific reason you want to do this, or is it just to experiment, with no real ties to the plot?

At least for the top part of the code, y starts at 29, which is not less than 15, so the loop begins as false and is never entered. I suggest making it "while (y > 15)".
That's exactly the thing I tried to do right. This basically means that my understaning of the command "while" is exactly the other way around: i thought that as long as it's false, it will be done, which doesn't seem to be the thing here.

Thanks.

I have been trying to use a while call instead of making hundreds of seperate calls. Problem is, that it doesn't work:

// Girl comes by

relocate_character(28,22,30);
play_sound(49);
force_instant_terrain_redraw();
pause(3);

y = 29;

while (y < 15) {
relocate_character(28,22,y);
play_sound(49);
force_instant_terrain_redraw();
pause(3);

y = y - 1;
}

relocate_character(28,22,15);
play_sound(49);
force_instant_terrain_redraw();
pause(3);

relocate_character(28,23,14);
play_sound(49);
force_instant_terrain_redraw();
pause(3);

relocate_character(28,24,13);
play_sound(49);
force_instant_terrain_redraw();
pause(3);

y = 12;

while (y < 2) {
relocate_character(28,24,y);
play_sound(49);
force_instant_terrain_redraw();
pause(3);

y = y - 1;
}

erase_char(28); // erase woman
pause(10);
What's happening now, is that the woman takes one step and then it stops. This happens at both occasions where I used the while call.

What I want to happen, is a girl running past the party. Can anybody point out the problem?

Just a question: will there be an Elderburry Cheesecake in this part of the story?
