Edit: Ooh, I can't forget to mention the books about the video game Halo! If you've played Halo, there are three books that are really good that everyone should read! Is "Ender's Game" about that young kid, I think he was like 6 or 7, that was trained in that space simulation for a war, which turned out to be one giant game and he beat the crap out of some kid 5 years his senior? Maybe I got that book mixed up with another sci-fi genre book... -------------------- "Truly, if there is evil in this world, it lies in the heart of mankind." -Edward D.

The arrow of time in General
Jeros Shock Trooper Member # 6102	written Tuesday, July 19 2005 13:12 Profile #45 If there are so many finite realities, wouldn't that cause some kind of time paradox? I believe that with time, there are different realities associated with it. Like most of you in this thread have already inputted, for every action is a reaction, with multiple possibilities adjacent with it. It's always the "what ifs" in life that cause such realities to exist, yet we never know the "what ifs" of other alternate realities. Do we really see life as it is or what we think it is? That is the question that I believe that the individual believes he/she perceives life as. -------------------- "Truly, if there is evil in this world, it lies in the heart of mankind." -Edward D.

Titles in Blades of Avernum
Jeros Shock Trooper Member # 6102	written Tuesday, July 19 2005 13:06 Profile #1 I think titles are based upon the total levels of your party members or member, if you're going solo, and the amount of scenairos you've completed. I used that HLPM (High Level Party Maker) thing and jacked up a test party at God levels (250) and exited the scenairo and saved the game. My party leader was ranked Lord. It was when I completed around 12-15 scenairos that my rank jumped to Archwizard. I could be wrong, but that's how it went for me. I think the ranks are either based on high levels or the amount of scenarios completed. Was that how it worked for you SpineRaker? This reminds me of Diablo II when you completed a dificulty level, your character would acheive some kind of title like matriarch or Champion.

Just say no in Richard White Games
Jeros Shock Trooper Member # 6102	written Tuesday, July 19 2005 12:57 Profile #74 Do people just use this board specifically like a general board, except just make a whole bunch of odd posts and not even talking about RW games? I personally have not even tried a RW game and by from all of the negativity that people have made about them, I probably wouldn't try one anytime soon. -------------------- "Truly, if there is evil in this world, it lies in the heart of mankind." -Edward D.

Avernum 4 Complete Wish List in The Avernum Trilogy
Jeros Shock Trooper Member # 6102	written Tuesday, July 19 2005 12:54 Profile #172 I thought the RW board was used to spread spam as I really don't see anything serious going on on those boards. Anyways, Avernum 4 would more than likely look quite similar, if not exactly the same, as the previous 4 Avernum games. (1,2,3, BoA) The only noticable difference that might be made would be a continuing storyline and with all of the stuff from the previous games back. It's just my guess, but I think Mr. Vogel would just stick to what works, even if people think that major changes are needed. I think that they should just make a whole new series of games instead, something fresh and innovative. -------------------- "Truly, if there is evil in this world, it lies in the heart of mankind." -Edward D.

Time vs. Money in General
Jeros Shock Trooper Member # 6102	written Tuesday, July 19 2005 12:45 Profile #41 quote: Originally written by Zeviz: About time or money, you always need at least some money to enjoy your time. (Infinite life isn't fun if you spend it starving.) You will also need some time to enjoy your money. (A billion dollars does you no good when you are dead.) The trick is to have the right ratio of time and money to be able to enjoy your life the most. This ratio is very different for different people. As for infinite life, I'd never agree to it unless I could end it at any time. Don't forget that the sun is going to go out eventually. And, if you assume that universe is ever-expanding, eventually all stars will go out and the universe will be filled with cold emptiness. An eternity spent in frozen void sounds very similar to some religions' idea of hell. So be very careful what you wish for. :) An eternal frozen hell, something that would make infinite life not worth living for. I agree with Zeviz's point about being able to balance out time and money as they sort of go hand-in-hand in most cases. If you manage your time wisely to make money, you tend to feel more satisfied with your life, unless you're one of those people that perfer a life w/o materialistic goods and services. Of course, there are people that perfer to use their time to help others w/o money (charity, volunteers, etc...) and that would be their satisfaction of life.

Jeros Shock Trooper Member # 6102	written Monday, July 18 2005 08:13 Profile #21 Oh okay. For a minute, I got kind of confused with the whole divine diat thing. By characters, you mean that their name is part of some game, show, or they're created a good scenairo?

"Blades of Geneforge" in General
Jeros Shock Trooper Member # 6102	written Monday, July 18 2005 07:59 Profile #52 Instead of making another Avernum or Geneforge game, Jeff Vogel really should make a brand new series that doesn't use the same graphics as either series. That probably would spark more interest with a lot of gamers. Off topic thing, but these boards should have a Geneforge trilogy board instead of them being all seperate, like with the Avernum Trilogy board. -------------------- "Truly, if there is evil in this world, it lies in the heart of mankind." -Edward D.

Time vs. Money in General

Time vs. Money in General
Jeros Shock Trooper Member # 6102	written Monday, July 18 2005 07:42 Profile #25 It's true that money would probably be useful in a finite world as there's only so much that can be spent and obtained and with finite time comes the desire or motivation to accomplish things in a set period of time. If time really was infinite, we could not care for anything and see the world change and evolve through the years. I wonder what the world look like in the next hundred to thousand years...

Jeros Shock Trooper Member # 6102	written Sunday, July 17 2005 20:30 Profile #4 Wow. That was a long and serious argument that explained TM's actions and all.

Time vs. Money in General
Jeros Shock Trooper Member # 6102	written Sunday, July 17 2005 20:07 Profile #11 I take no offense to your comment at all. In fact, it is criticism that makes you a better person, not praise. Now, if I can only remember on who said that quote... My original intention with this thread was to not get a direct answer, rather on what people's opinions were on the infinity of time and/or money, though it must of been on how I worded my original post that must of caused the confusion and misunderstanding. You seriously cannot get a direct answer on time itself as people have different viewpoints and opinions over it. Next time I make a thread, I will take a little more time and thought into it.

Time vs. Money in General
Jeros Shock Trooper Member # 6102	written Sunday, July 17 2005 17:12 Profile #0 For the purposes of simplicity in this topic, do you value time or money more? It does not involve any kind of "infinite" amount whatsoever. Rather, it's just a simple question, does time mean more to you in life right now or does money? Since I originally made it complex in the first place, I'm just going to make it a simple and direct opinion that is open ended from what you feel instead.

Cursed Cursor! in Tech Support
Jeros Shock Trooper Member # 6102	written Sunday, July 17 2005 16:56 Profile #4 Perhaps it's not the OS as I have both Mac OS 10.4 and WIndows XP Professional and I have no problems whatsoever. If un-installing the game had no changes in the graphical cursor re-appearing, it could be a resolution problem or that your're not installing all of the files properly. Make sure that your game is set at the right resolution, whatever it is, usually 640x480 or something around that setting. Most games require that you choose a custom or default installation. If this message didn't give you any help at all, you should probably just get the CD to the game or just format your computer, while maintaining your own custom setting, and see what happens. You could be missing a certain graphic file in your computer or something. If not, I really wouldn't know what else could be a possible issue. Or maybe perhaps that the cursor may only appear if the game is in full screen mode instead of minimizing mode. That usually is a common thing with a lot of older games. Other than that, you either have a computer that has a hard time running older games or there could be something with the mouse itself...

Human nature in General
Jeros Shock Trooper Member # 6102	written Sunday, July 17 2005 16:51 Profile #66 Since Great Britian uses the Parliament government system, Prime Minister Tony Blair would be the main person in charge of most government decisions and the hierarchy or royal family that is still there, they pretty much act more of representatives for the country rather than any political roles. I mean, I'm guessing that keeping the royal family is simply keeping old tradition, but nothing else? It's almost as if Queen Elizabeth II is England's mascot and that Prince Charles is a royal playboy. -------------------- "Truly, if there is evil in this world, it lies in the heart of mankind." -Edward D.

RPGs in General
Jeros Shock Trooper Member # 6102	written Sunday, July 17 2005 16:47 Profile #44 FFVIII is a good game, except that the Junction system used to develop your characters took an excessive amount of time. You had to keep drawing out magical spells from enemies until they were real close to maxing out to get anything good out of them. Other than picking up the draw spells from "The Island Closest To Hell" & "Heaven", the system was a bit annoying, but good cutscenes nonetheless. -------------------- "Truly, if there is evil in this world, it lies in the heart of mankind." -Edward D.

How evil is too evil> in Blades of Avernum
Jeros Shock Trooper Member # 6102	written Sunday, July 17 2005 16:40 Profile #23 Pretty much, as long as the evil being is interesting in plot and doesn't pretain to anything that "crosses the line" in terms of sexuality or crossing taboos, that's fine with a lot of gamers. Violence, whether it's by words or graphically, will somehow be there in a lot of RPG evil doers.

Human nature in General
Jeros Shock Trooper Member # 6102	written Friday, July 15 2005 16:32 Profile #61 Well, you can't just force people to vote to increase voter turnout, since I think that's sort of messing around with our constitutional rights. (well, those of us that live in the US) A lot of Americans take what individual rights and freedoms we have for granted that they do not appreciate what they have going for them, 'tis a shame. It's a sad fact to think that we are pretty much the "laughingstock" of democratic politics and we're supposed to be the most powerful modern industrialized nation in the world. Pretty much, I think, that a big majority (not all) just do not care for US politics or anything that involves the economy (unless it directly affects your job status or income) I mean, do you really think the majority of young people (meaning like teenagers or anyone young that doesn't care for the world) are going to remember such recent political events, oh say, Sandra Day O' Conner stepping down from the Supreme Court or knowing SC Justice Reinquist is suffering from Thyroid cancer? I'm guessing not too many, but I could be wrong as they have happened recently in the news.

Human nature in General
Jeros Shock Trooper Member # 6102	written Wednesday, July 13 2005 08:55 Profile #16 Hmm...if that's the case, then technically, there is no such thing as the perfect human being. Humans learn from their mistakes. Depending on the severity of the mistake that impacted that person's life is what the person typically ends up upon, unless they make a comeback story and become successful. Of course, if all else fails, blame it on bad luck. I personally am not sad or frustrated with life, rather that I just appreciate the things I have and move on. Examples of people who "were" successful, but kinda fell rock bottom: (All of these people can be argued upon) 1. Mike Tyson 2. Michael Jackson 3. O.J. Simpson 4. Those CEOs from Enron and Worldcom, and the other main people involved in corporate scandaling. I know there's a whole lot more, but these would be the more common ones that a lot of people would point out, I think. -------------------- "Truly, if there is evil in this world, it lies in the heart of mankind." -Edward D.
