Yeeeeeeeeees, I know.
That's what I'm glued to in the office for half the day. I'm just too plain lazy to look up US Dollars in the middle of the poll :)

US $ cheques take approximately 4 - 5 weeks to be negotiated/collected and clear, so I don't accept them anymore. Haven't looked them up since :D

Hmmmm.

I'm not sure how much or little a US $ is worth - i tend think of any "foreign" currency as Monopoly-Money... No, don't shout at me now, I know I'm ignorant.
I aimed for the highest min.wages. Min.wages here are something above £5 for even the sh*ttiest of jobs, so surely $5 isn't fair...?

Taxes..... oh well. No idea what you guy are doing over there or what the situation is. I used to be paid with tax money, so I'll shut up about that one :)

Creationism/ID isn't that much of an issue here, I think. I follow the funny court cases, yes. But over here your parents stick you in the school of their preference. If that's a science-orientated school run by evolutionists or a catholic school run by nuns.... you get the picture.

*Vote Laurana for Pope!*

Edit: fixed typo (.....and fixed again!)

I can't help thinking that he won't need his ID anymore anyway, so....

Oops. Sorry.

Kissing a girl in General

I did, once. But I saw it as an act of charity. A friend of mine is gay and her ex-girlfriend showed up in the bar we were in and started a scene. Asking if I was "the new girl" and went all mad.

My friend kept telling her I wasn't, but she wouldn't have any of it. In the end I grabbed my friend and snogged her, just to shut them up.

Worked, too. Insane ex-girl stomped off and we continued having a good night out. No further mentioning of the episode.

PS: But other than that, no - I wouldn't :)

Uh, you need at least one mirror, because the lasers that the efreeti stand behind (which you have to get past to get to the door) never turn off.
True, they don't, but you can sneak past them with a move mountains spell. That will remove the boulder next to the wall (just west of the efreeti) and you can diagonally hop through the gap behind the laser.

I never found the mirror, because I was running real late with only one day left. I had the scroll for Koth (didn't get the talisman, hence the delay in the fungi cave) but absolutely no time to spare to start looking for mirrors.

I liked it.

I usually play high level and torture difficulty, but was intrigued by the vampire-thing. So I abandoned my favourite "Lets kick ass"-Party in some inn to get plastered and played it with a freshly fabricated newbie-party.

Yes, I found it irritating not to have my mage wiping everything with fireballs. Yes, I had also forgotten how tedious first aid can be without healing spells.

But I never had such an adept javelin thrower, and it made me appreciate my domestic Priest and her bag of spells in other scenarios much more. Up to then I just kinda saw her as a mobile medical kit that gets dragged along at the back, to patch up the rest of the party after a fight and who gets any spare items dumped in her pack.

I especially liked Lucretia - I actually reloaded the game several times, just to see what she'd do if I said different things.

No levels to be gained - so what?

Thanks for a fun afternoon :)

The 1 Dollar Question in General

a) 100

b) 0

Not out of greed tho. If I could remove 100 picked people for good forever and no one can connect it to me - Hell, I'd do it for free. There are just certain individuals I could really do without, some for the (for loss of a better phrase) greater good (surely not everyone would agree, but hey - MY choice who to pick *grin*), some for the improvement of my personal little part of the universe.

On the other hand, I probably wouldn't donate the money, but keep it anyway.

Business is business and money is money.
