Okay, to you all that made the effort to answer the questions, thanks. Current beta testers (please correct me if I'm wrong): Tyranicus (Windows 2000 SP4) Inthrall (Mac OS 10.1.5) lenar labs (Windows XP SP2) Supanik (Windows 98) (Not registering at forum) Dolphin (Mac OS 10.4.5) (Not registering at forum) TM (Mac OS 10,2,8) Spy.there (Mac OS 9.2) Dintiradan (Windows 98) Ash lael (Windows?) For the ones who don't register at the forum, you'll probably miss out on some plot discussions. I can forward you some things, but you'll have to request. If all is correct, than the Mac users can expect the scenario soon, and the windows people wil have to wait till the weekend (I'm very busy this week with school things and internationalisation projects).

Added to the forum: Tyranicus, Ash Lael, Dintiradan, Lenar Labs, TM, spy.there (not really a beta-tester any more, but I'll leave you in. feel free to join if you feel like), Inthrall. the others didn't give username at all or a valid username. I ask these if they can still give it. Dolphin, you don't have too, as you already requested.

I'm very glad to see so many poeple applying. I'll wait though for some more Windows users to apply, before starting to send the scenarios. Ephesos: What a pity, I would have liked you to test it. Are you still available, or shouldn't I count you in? Spy.there: I also tested it on my old Imac G3 with OS 9.2.2, but its nice to know you're not the only one. Can I ask you if you can make me two introduction pics? I asked somebody else already, but she is too busy. If your answer is yes, I'll send you the information on what I want you to draw. TM: Don't worry, the combat probably sucks (I'm bad in balancing it all). -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

quote:Thanks but I already made them. I only have to get them on my Mac, which is now turned off. I'll do it some time this week (if I have any time, that is). Thanks for offering though, and what a pity you can't test. However, you own scenario of course has the highest priority for you. Lenar: I'll count you in as a beta tester, but you could you please answer my questions too? Dolphin: that's fine, though you'll probably miss out on discusions concerning the plot.

This is my very first scenario, and I need YOU to test it. bare in mind that this is a first-try-scenario, and when making it I didn't really make everything totally logical. I mainly focused on the technical side, so the plot is a bit cliche and maybe even bad or wouldn't make any sense. So, what would I like to see: Email adress (to send you the scenario); experience in testing; what are the main things you look at when testing; gender (yes, gender, so i wouldn't make any mistakes when writing you an email :P ); the OS you will use to test. It is also very important that you tell me your user name at the BoA testing center. Without that, I can't add you to the hidden forum which will be used to discuss things about my scenario! That's all, actually. please register at the BoA betatesting center, which can be found here . from there I'll discuss and announce things, so register and regularly check back! Also, I would appreciate it if you can send me any faults in spelling and grammar to me personally by email, and post things about plot and other bigger problems of this scenario on the BoA betatesting forum, so every betatester will be able to see and think about it. then there is one more thing: at the moment I can only offer a Mac version, but I expect to have made the Windows version very soon, so both OS's can be used for testing. Note that the board that will be dedicated to my scenario on the BoA betatesting forum is not made yet, and I don't know when it will be, so just have some patience. I'd like to have about 5 beta testers, but more is also good (though not more than 7) Tell me if I forgot to mention something in this post, please.

Very important: get BoA registered and TEST the things you make. This was for me the greatest source of learning: my own mistakes, and see what was wrong about them. It will save you hours of work if you type the things correctly (and understand why it should be like that!). Look at this as mathematics homework: copying things just like that without knowing why it is like that, will kill you. Guaranteed. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape. Give us your drek!

Please, tyranicus, I DO know that the planet (not world, specifically speaking) is called Ermarian, and that valorim is a continent. However, I refferred to valorim, as the Ndovlu mountains ARE IN valorim, and not on other continents of Ermarian. I do wonder how the goblins managed to get there so quick then, if that land bridge is also part of these mountains (something I just discovered). This first part seemed to ahve a road though, which speeded everything up for the army. however, i can't find a good map on which it says if that road continues beyond the gate. I would think so. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape. Give us your drek!

Drakefyre: Well, that's exactly the problem, isn't it. Valorim is a made-up world, and there is now way for me to know these things (and for some reason, Avernum doesn't interests me to the extent that i would actively search for information). Aside from that, I went over the road, which is the least dangerous way to go. For the rest I have just no idea what the environment is like, so I can't possibly really know what will take long, and what not. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

And that is what I like about Avernum. Instead that everybody will be generous and give the same amount of money as everybody else, it all actuall fits to the surroundings, as lenar already stated. if you want to sell your items, wait till the scenario has been finished and choose a scenario in which it seems like you will be placed at a rich province. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

I have my web site at aran's, who was very kind to offer me the space. I can also recommend, above all, www.50megs.com. If you ever would like to remove the ads and have a paid site, than 50megs is the cheapest alternative I found. Angelfire and geocities ash about $5, while 50megs will already remove the ads at about $1,50. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

The army was moving gradually now towards the very north of valorim. All nephilim seemed to be quite enthusiastic while thinking of the things they were going to do. few nephilim went back to their hide-out in the mountains, where they had stayed, hiding, for almost four years. These nephilim would set up an other smaller army, or would flee, if the army that wa snow going to Pralgrad failed and wouldn't return. As things looked now, they would reach the nephilim in probably two days. I just hope that's not too late. nephilim are strong creatures, but when they are attacked by stronger creatures, they will hold, but not for long. Mernal looked behind. Yes. We will get them. nephilim always get what they want. He looked in front of him again. they had reached the mountains. There was just one small problem. How would they cross the mountains unseen. Surely, in this time of war, mages were scrying he fields around them like crazy. It seemed sort of stupid, but eventually he decided to just follow the road. In 15 minutes they reached a gate. It was crumbling and barely able to support itself. Mernal called for his mages, who fired several bolts of fire. They hit, and were fotunately stronger now that they had earned the next level of this spell. Jeez. These Moon books are good stuff! The gate was unguarded and nothing more than a pile of rubble. the army could continue. However, when they were on the other side, they saw goblins. Many, many goblins. It was the army his northern spies had told him about. He decided to contact hralek, who was supposed to make the goblins friendly towards them. However, when he opened his small bag, he saw that Hralek's scroll was written on. A message from Hralek! Hralek writing: the goblins are friendly. they will stay of our back. they don't ask for anything, except a good book of spells. Continue as planned. Quivkly, Mernal asked for a messenger and gave him one of the spellbooks from moon. "Bring this to the goblin chieftain, quickly!" The messenger nodded and ran away. the army slowly continued on its way. After five minutes, the army was getting closer to the goblins. the messenger had returned, and said that the army could pass safely now. the goblins semmed to be very pleased with "acid spray." The chieftain had thanked the Nephilim and said that the acid would make their caverns even nicer and cozier. After that, he had granted Mernal a free passage, and wished him all the luck. The army continud, and at the end of that day, the army was only two miles away from Pralgrad. --- OOC: nephilim are fast creatures, and hen they don't have much things to take with them, they are even faster. Hence the relatively short period of travelling. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape. Give us your drek!

No, Snafta, I meant magmadragoon, not Thuryl, so unless I didn't understand what Magmadrgoon said in one topic or an other, and she (Magmadragoon) is actually a he, then I apologize and you're right.

Gongrats. I'll this topic to tell you, that only when you spell Dik as "D*ck" (* = i, of course), your abreviation is something to be ashamed of. If you just spell it "Dik" you have a very common Dutch name: nothing to be ashamed of. The first one to post that a Dutch name is exactly something be ashamed above, will be a great candidate to see from very close by what my shoe exactly looks like from beneath. take that as a threat, please. Oh, and by the way: :D EDIT: two more posts and I reach 2000! Halleluja!

gernas had teamed up with the nephilim at the lake. they called themselves the "Kaepurs from ghath," which had surprised gernas. Not only was this a foul attempt to speak English, the human language, but it also referred to the great gate. The great gate of the Nephil gods. The great gate, behind it the seven powers: Wind, Fire, Water, Earth, Power, Love and Nephilim. Gernas had written to Mernal about this surprising find, and he had already recieved a very optimistic messge back. Mernal was certainly pleased with the developments. Gernas had just put away the scroll, when a Nephil ran into the lake-side camp, shouting, in heavily distorted English: "Pigeon! Bird! Whatever! Coming to us!" The whole camp immediatly was alerted, and Nephilim ran across the camp to fetch their weaponry. They started shooting, missing all the time, until Gernas shouted to stop, and said it was some sort of messenger. He shouted to the bird, The words being something to calm the bird down so it would land. With astonishment the Nephilim looked at Gernas and how the bird made a nice landing on his shoulder. It showed its paw, on which was bound a small scroll. Gernas took it off, and opened it. He started reading: help! The Bordrao nephilim tribe to the north is in danger! Requesting help now! Gernas put the note away, and made the Nephil chieftain of the camp gather all the Nephilim at Gernas' sleeping mat. He explained the situation. The nephilim seemed to be in an agitated and insulted mood after Gernas was done speaking. In their distorted English, they shouted "Death to the Empire" time on time again. After that, Gernas went to a secluded part of the camp. He took out Mernal's scroll and wrote him: Gernas writing this sir, Recieved message from endangered Nephil tribe. Bordrao want help from this Nephil tribe. Requesting army to come. Nephilim are allies, always. It didn't took long before a message had been returned: Mernal writing: We shall come at once. My spies will see what's happening in valorim, no need for the army to be there too. A sigh of relief. Gernas happily ran to thr nephil chieftain, and tolled him the great news. The chieftain's ears immidiatly started spinning of joy. The army was coming! --- Mernal made the army gather around him back at the Dorngas area. When he had caught everybody's attention, he spoke: Nephilim! the humans have done it again! They torture us, they beat our cousins (Angry growling). Today i recieved a message from my Pralgrad spie, who made contact with a distant Nephil tribe. he recieved a message from an other nephil tribe: "the Bordrao." They are being attacked by the Empire's leftovers. i say we shall go there at once, and shoot them to death, with our arrows of death! The Nephilim started jumping, shouting, throwing with all kinds of things. They were going to beat the Empire once and for all. Roughly 300 nephilim took their weaponry, and went north. They travelled fast, as they didn't have any heavy possesions. This enabled them to run, garantuing the Bordrao with quick help. they were to meet the "Kaepurs of ghath" and then continue to the Bordrao camp. However, they first had to pass the goblins that Hralek was now trying to manipulate. Mernal had wrote him a message too, saying that they were coming has way, asking him to make sure the Gblins won't attack. He had a truce with the "Keppers of knowledge" so an attack from them wouldn't be to be expected. And so they went, gradually reaching the land bridge that connected Valorim to Pralgrad. --- OOC: "Arrows of death" are normal arrows, but as to make the speech more impressive, I gave the arrows a more interesting name. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.
