Where You At Now? in General
Synergy Shaper Member # 6292	written Thursday, March 15 2007 17:40 Profile #0 Hot damn. I just graddiated. You must call me Master now. You too may obtain this exalted title for no less than the trifling fee of some thirty thousand dollars. Master of Psychology. I am a little high on a little beer and a little chocolate and a lot of love from my associates at the mental health clinic where I have been interning for the last year. Now I am degreed and after breathing for about three weeks, I am going to find agency work and get licensure as well as begin building a private practice. I love what I am choosing to do with my life today. Life is good. Playing some of the new and improved Nethergate in the meantime is also on the menu. But enough about me. I am wondering about you. What is your station in life right now? What are you doing with yourself? Are you in school? What do you see yourself doing in the future? If you were to fulfill your biggest, most unlikely dream for yourself, what would it be? -S- P.S. Bonus points to the first person who can tell me the source of inspiration for the title of this thread.

Synergy Shaper Member # 6292	written Saturday, March 10 2007 23:15 Profile #71 As stated in the opening post, Valeta rather despises both sides of the power struggle and is an opportunist exploiting the greed of them both. If it had any kind of future, she'd be inclined to ally with the Trakovites. This story will be carried to completion, even if there are breaks along the way to take care of little things like wrapping up a Masters in Psychology or beta testing Nethergate Resurrection. (It's looking very nice!) I also have a game of Avernum 1 going, of all things. I'll get back to this before long though. I am glad you are enjoying it.

how did you find out about spiderweb games? in General
Synergy Shaper Member # 6292	written Monday, March 5 2007 18:26 Profile #49 quote: Originally written by Thralni, The flying Dutchmen: I had first found out about Avernum 3...I decided to download it, and I started playing it. I was hooked. Then I discovered that there were more Avernum games, and I was happy. So, what gave that away? The "3" in the title? :p I found Exile 3 on a very early MacAddict CD around 1997, played it for an hour one night, thought, "This is kind of cool, but I bet it's one of those huge geeky fantasy RPG's I'd have to really focus on and play a long time to win." I had wasted a colossal amount of time playing Ultima IV through once many years ago with a friend, and it took like 45,000 turns to complete. About three years ago, I came across it again and found it amusing for a few hours of playing. It had old school charm and seemed huge and intricate with characters and story. I started looking online for a FAQ about the game, and discovered the Averna with "updated graphics" on the SW site. I liked a lot of the graphic improvement, so switched to Avernum 3 and started over, but the first thing I said was, "Hey, I only have four guys now!" and, "Hey, where did all the spells go (like Scry?)" Once I got going with Avernum 3, I promptly shelled out my money and was hooked. This was my first real taste of level-up addiction. Then I turned to the backlog of Averna, buying all the rest at once, except I never finished Nethergate due to interface irritations. I am happy to be able to replay it starting imminently. :D -S- P.S. I can't tell you how happy I am that Spiderweb is right here in Seattle. Screw Starbucks. Meh, Microsoft. Boeing bolted. Amazon...ambivalent. Google's great! But Spiderweb? Sweeeeeet.

On the Road to Weapons of Mass Destruction in General
Synergy Shaper Member # 6292	written Saturday, March 3 2007 19:33 Profile #64 quote: Originally written by Cryptozoology: quote: Originally written by Excalibur: John 1:1-2 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the word was God. He was with God in the beginning.” Whatever this passage is referring to, it is quite clearly not referring to the Bible. Whether or not the Bible is the small-w word of God, the Bible is clearly not actually God. To equate the two is idolatrous. Wryly enough, I see much of Christianity as having done exactly that. The book has effectively become the god of more than one religion. Many turn to it for guidance, truth, direction, for the final word. They have lived and died by their interpretations of it. They refer to it far more often than to their own experience or knowing of God or insights given by God. The book really has become a godlike monolith in Christian orientation.The Bible is to be followed as God. Does this not equate the book with God? The implication to me in observing is, “We don’t really believe or trust in the very promises in our own book that God has come down to dwell in us and guide us from within. We need to turn back to ancient texts written by and for people who have been dead for millennia. Our God is not much relevant or involved with our time and day, but He did fantastic things for a tiny part of history in a tiny part of the world once.” And at some point they decided God stopped breathing into man, into the world and God was done. Funny thing is that God never said so in any of those writings. I’ve been hearing for many years about Noah’s ark on Ararat in ever-unsubstantiated stories and claims: mountaineers finding it and chipping pieces of wood off it, aerial photography showing it, or the like. I saw in someone’s office once a framed small piece of hard, blackened wood with a caption that claimed it was a piece of Noah’s ark. I can Google Earth my own house here and see if there is a car in my driveway. If a gigantic gopher-wood boat were preserved in ice on Ararat, satellites would have noted it some time ago. It ain’t there. It’s not there, because literally the story is absurd, if not impossible. Try keeping and feeding a few hundred thousand pairs of insects in one boat, for starters. Why does anyone need to believe this story is a literal history, in order to believe God exists and is involved with humankind or has spoken to humankind? Why wouldn’t God speak to humanity in the culturally relevant form of ancient legends (Gilgamesh?) which were par for the course back in the day and how people were able to wrestle with the Divine in their day? Why would God treat the Hebrews inappropriately for their maturity and culture in His doings with them? I still want to hear some answers to the question, WHY does the Bible have to be literal, pure, accurate, supernaturally preserved truth? What would it mean about God or us if it were not? -S- [ Saturday, March 03, 2007 19:36: Message edited by: Synergy ] -------------------- A4 Item Locations A4 Singleton G4 Items List G4 Forging List The Insidious Infiltrator Posts: 2009 \| Registered: Monday, September 12 2005 07:00
The Insidious Infiltrator in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Synergy Shaper Member # 6292	written Saturday, March 3 2007 18:07 Profile #68 VALETA III: CHAPTER FOUR Part Four — Storming The Western Morass, Part 2 (Enough Already) Val returns to the Western Morass to reciprocate Guardian Seekay's warm welcome upon her last visit. She obliterates the Shaper Warrior baton wielder in the corner with two devastating blasts of Firebolt. Popping around the corner now, Val greets Seekay with a little obligatory Wrack and Shackle, while humming an early 90's punk song called, "If You See Kay"—an angry little diatribe against an ex-girlfriend. "And..if you see Kay...tell her (wall of noise/angry shouts.) Seekay feels Val's impending wrath. We do not stop to take snapshots, but next Val readily dispatches Seekay and his odd summons or two with a couple more rounds of Kill and Essence Orbs. She scoots down the hall and lets loose the prisoners. All make it home safely. The cavalry begin to arrive again, so she follows after and collects her needed pro-rebel reputation reward from Manhola, along with his double boon. This enables Val to acquire the Kill the Five Infiltrators quest from Ossissess. But we have more work to do at the Western Morass first, including securing more precious Blood Poison. She returns and starts cleaning out the western area of the encampment a few at at time, like this unwitting so-called Elite Warrior. Shaper Adlon is next, and he is a worthy opponent. Wrack, Shackle. Kill Kill Kill! He's tough. Only 173 with Kill. Now he has time to invite some new friends to the party before dying at close range. Adlon summon a Kyshakk. Val Dominates it to assist her in taking Adlon out, just in time to seek to escape the clutches of the invading defender Vlish who teleport in. Val took some heavy damage cornering Adlon. She hightails it out of there with some Strong Daze to survive to fight another day. Agent Lucy falls on Val's next visit, and the rest of the western buildings are cleaned out. Lastly, Val charges all the way into the back area to the teleporting rooms and spends a few Living Tools to get the Blood Poison out of the chest. She charms a couple Vlish to help stave off the others, and scuttles off. Our work here is done. Everything is dead that offers experience. NEXT: Infiltrators of the world unite! -S- [ Friday, March 23, 2007 04:21: Message edited by: Synergy ] -------------------- A4 Items • A4 Singleton • G4 Items • G4 Forging • G4 Infiltrator • NR Items • The Lonely Celt Posts: 2009 \| Registered: Monday, September 12 2005 07:00
The Insidious Infiltrator in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Synergy Shaper Member # 6292	written Saturday, March 3 2007 17:19 Profile #67 VALETA III: CHAPTER FOUR Part Four — Storming The Western Morass, Part 1 Well, we're just a singleton, and with the reinforcements which transport in after alarming the camp, this will take several visits to mop up. Standing safely off, Val fully buffs and hastes and takes out the Turret outside the gate. Being the sociable sort she is, Val introduces herself to the nearest friendly Gate Watchman. She can't quite usually take these guards out with one blast of Ice Spray, so she amuses herself with one of this and one of that: Searer and a Fireball, two Fireballs, an Ice Spray and a Fireball. Next in line is a turret guarding the inner gate entrance. These succumb readily to Ice Spray or even something less. Since we won't be here too long, we don't take any chances tinkering with Searer or Fireballs. Of course, the next Gate Watchman comes around in his loop to be greated by a face full of soothing Searer. And now, as we poke further inside the gate, we see a few more defenders than would be prudent to take on all at once under the circumstances. Beefier backup begins to show up. Val scoots around to the left gate to focus on those nasty little Turrets again, along with the nearest Wingbolt who never gets a shot off following a chilling demise. Now the turrets mop up readily. Val crumples the Shaper Warrior with two Fireballs. There be more Turrets and Wingbolts further in. Val is able to liquidate these two with more ranged magical assaults: first Essence Orbs, which take out the Turret and do some damage to the Wingbolt, followed by Ice Spray to finish the Wingbolt. Whoops, we've outworn our welcome and roused undesired guests to this party. We're not ready to take on Guardian Seekay this round. He does some nasty damage with his Searer. We hastily retreat back to Derenton Freehold to restock on essence and health. I tinkered around with these assaults numerous times for fun. This zone requires very careful strategizing of movement, placement, timing, and offenses used. It requires retreats when things get botched or dicey. We'll be right back. -S- [ Saturday, March 03, 2007 17:34: Message edited by: Synergy ] -------------------- A4 Items • A4 Singleton • G4 Items • G4 Forging • G4 Infiltrator • NR Items • The Lonely Celt Posts: 2009 \| Registered: Monday, September 12 2005 07:00
