It's incredibly creepy that this topic should appear on the very day that someone who looks exactly like Aran is hired at my workplace. Even creepier, his name is Aaron.

Let's see. I joined this community in November '05, dropped out of college a month later. (the two were unrelated, I swear :P ) In January, 2006, I wrote the [http://avernum.nethergate.net]A1 Quest List[/url] and attended my first Blades Chat. I started archiving chats at that point. A few weeks later, the general chats started, and Shadow Vale went online on February 28, 2006. In March 2006, A long-distance relationship ended rather badly for me. (I vow never to do that again). In April the SW Music Database went online, and in May I moved into my own apartment. In September, I started the BoA Database. In October, I got a decent job, and in January 2007, I startedShadow Vale Forums. In that time, I've made several friends here and hopefully no enemies. :P

That pretty much sums both my real ande online life in the past year and a half.

If you count BoE, then my point is false, but the post was calling for 'series', not including expansions.
The Exile trilogy and BoE have THE SAME SPELLS!

[quote=Robinator
Apparently, Jesus' birthday was sometime in the spring, closer to Easter (eenteresting...). Keeping vigil all night over flocks of sheep is something shepherds almost always do during the springtime, whatever the reason is, and so this part of the scripture suggests Jesus was more of an Aries than a Capricorn. Besides, the Good Book never says anything about snow, methinks.[/quote]Even if Jesus had been born in December, there would have been no snow. The climate of Israel is a bit too warm for that.

The reason Christmas is in late December is because the Catholic Church wanted to stop people from celebrating the pagan solstice festival.

Since I got it from Ephesos, I'm guessing that it is the first version.

I was playing A4 on a new computer and noticed that after about 10 minutes of play, the mouse movement lags and becomes too jerky to play the game. Any ideas?

The computer is a Pentium 4 2.4 GHz with an Asus P4S800D-X motherboard with an SiS 964 chipse, 1 GB of DDR400 RAM, and an nVidia GeForce 6800LE AGP graphics card. The operating system is Windows XP Professional SP2.
