Clemens, I didn't know your mother tongue is Dutch! Care to tell me where you come from (which province, obiously)?

Zoeterwoude, a little place in the area around Leiden, North-Holland, I thought you knew that? Anyway, you know now

On Nephilian: I'm glad you are pursuing the language! I have a few comments.
1) Pronounciation: Your "FH" doesn't make sense. "TH" is a single sound, not two sounds, so replacing the T with the F as you suggest would essentially lead one to make a normal "F" sound -- but you differentiate those.
2) I like your use of animate/inanimate gender, which seems very appropriate to nephil shamanism.
3) The cases are a little confusing. You explain what they mean, but for some it's unclear how they are used. I guess you are making the language ergative-absolutive?

Out of curiosity, what *is* your first language?

The Dutch word "Duits" (deutsch) is an equivalent to the Flämish "Diets." Its origin is the word theudisk, albeit from a long chain of all small modifications (These are the ones ef mentioned in her post). In a attempt to seperate themselves from the Romans, the teutons living there called their language "Theodisk." This name soon was the name of the language spoken in the whole of the teuton empire. the Englsh took on the name "Dutch," as a name for the people that belonged to the countries were Diets was spoken, who were closed to them.

...Thralni, your site does look incredibly amateurish. I mean, worse than the first incarnation of TMU. (Although admittedly, first TMU was basically a broadband-only site.)

I mean, really. What's wrong with Black on White or vice-versa?

I think my next post will be one of my shortest. And Nazgul, I DID try to shorten the length of my last post. Thralni pretty much destroyed my herbs, so I had to find a way to compensate. The best I could come up with was to have Orloki take advantage of Edith's mental collapse and possess her as a result.

If you have all of this done by one SDF, a single get_flag check every turn doesn't slow down anything noticeably.

There are many right ways to do this and only a few functional wrong ways.

Dikiyoba: if you want to explore evry inch of the scenario, then first finish the scenario, and afterwards you can start looking at places you didn't have time to look at.

If that is possible, Dikiyoba will gladly do it. But how do you propose doing that with The Za-Khazi Run? If you mean by playing the scenario through once and playing it again later, Dikiyoba has already done that.
