Where's the explanation? Dikiyoba can't accept names without an explanation to go with them.

It sounds like my favorite pudding, tapioca. Is that a good enough explanation?

That doesn't explain the surge in sales during passover. I'll be the first to admit that I'm Gentile who loves Jewish food.

Playstation is a console yes, but I was saying that no (or very few) good fantasy games have been made on consoles in the past 5 years, which means Playstation games can be good because The PS2 has been out for more than 5 years.

Is it just me, or does the active member population seem disproportionately Jewish? I have nothing against Jews, but I'm curious what makes Spiderweb such a Jew-magnet.

Interestingly enough, I work at a grocery store, and we sell more challah bread during Passover than any other time of the year. Now, if Jews can't eat levened bread during Passover, who the heck is buying all that challah?

So many? How about all? I defy you to name any good console fantasy game made in the past 5 years or so. Pretty hard, isn't it? All the good ones were on NES, SNES, or Playstation.

Edit: I actually thought of 2, (Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance and WildArms 3) so I guess I was a little off, but still, fantasy games were better in the 90s.

Spiderweb is an independent shareware company. In order to make platform games, Jeff would have to sell his games in a mainstream retail setting, which is something that he is never going to do. Also, the DS sucks, but that's a topic for another time. :P

Teenagers under 18, while unable to get credit cards, can open a checking account at a bank and get a debit card that can be used in place of a credit card. That's what I did when I was a teen anyway. Heh, listen to me, I've only been 20 for a month, and I'm already talking about my teenage years as ancient history. :rolleyes:

I discovered Avernum four years ago. I had been playing the Nethergate demo to death since 1999 and found the trilogy when I went to find out how to buy the full version of Nethergate.

First Avernum: A1
Favorite Avernum: A2

I changed my publicly displayed name from "Lazarus" a week ago. Now I try to change it back and it says this name is in use. I haven't seen anyone posting on the name Lazarus; is this just UBB being goofy? Its somewhat of a downer.

Here is what happened:

When yopu first changed your PDN to Lazarus, no one else named Lazarus was on the boards. While your PDN was still Lazarus, someone registered with the login name Lazarus. The problem you are having is a UBB quirk that will not let you set your PDN to someone else's login name. In other words, kiss Lazarus good-bye.

@Tyran: I distinctly remember telling you on AIM that I wanted Ohvol heading to the Great Cave and the only reason he hit Torfen was because it was in the way. Why did you relocate to Almaria?
Where else do you expect me to go? I'm not going to just let Ohvol take the Great Cave for his evil designs. I am the king of Avernum, after all, and a king does not abandon his people. (a good one doesn't anyway :P ) Also, I had him do what the character would have actually done. It makes tactical sense for the army to fall back to Almaria. Just because you told me that Ohvol is heading to the Great Cave doesn't mean that anyone in my faction knows this. I deliberately kept Thomys's premonition vague to avoid the "all-powerful magic" that some people seem to be using.

It was late at night, about 3 candlemarks past midnight. Lartaynior was sitting at his desk, deep in thought. The outriders and scouts from Cressen's army had just returned that day. 40 men out of the 5,000 I sent north. This infestation is quite unnerving. He was still pondering his next moved, when his door slammed open and Thomys rushed in. The mage was in his bedclothes and had that haggered, just-out-of-bed appearance.

"What in the name of the gods...."

"Sire, you must leave! Now! There is no time for argument!"

"Leave? What in the name of the Abyss are you talking about?"

"I have had a premonition. Something terrible is in the city. If you do not leave the city now, you will surely die!"

Thomys had been his friend and advisor as well as his personal mage for many years. He knew better than dismiss this as folly.

"Alright. Let me summon my generals. We need to get my soldiers out of here."

"There is no time for that! They will have to fend for themselves. Most of the army is still camped west of the city. We must go there. Now!"

"Very well, I will go with you."

"Alright. Let's go. Thomys hurried out the door, and Lartaynior followed him quickly. He yelled at his aide to follow. They hurried out of the inn and through the streets. The guard at the western gate took one look at them and started. "Where are you going this late, sire?"

"That is not your concern. Let us pass," he commanded bruskly.

"Yes, your grace," replied the guardsman as he opened the gate for them.

When he reached the army camp, he yelled for his top generals. "Petyr, Janos, Balon, Ryman!" Slowly, the sleepy men came out, rubbing their eyes which widened when they sall their king.

"We must leave this place now!" he commanded in a voice tha overrode all objections.

"What of the forces in the city?" asked General Ryman.

"It is too late for them," said Lartaynior, as he heard the clash of steel-on-steel from the city and turned to see flames licking the stalactites. I always knew Thomys would come in handy.

"What in the name of all that is good and holy is going on in there?!" yelled Janos.

"Nothing good and holy, I assure you," said Thomys. A great evil has infiltrated the city turning men against each other. If we do not leave now, it will affect us as well."

"Then we should be off at once!" said Petyr, who went off to find the buglers to wake the men.

It's a good thing my generals are able to keep cool heads during a crisis, but then, that's part of being generals, isn't it?

In 20 minutes (an astonishingly fast time for such a large host) the army was marching west towards Almaria, leaving the burning city of Torfen behind them. Lartaynior fervently thanked the gods for Thomys's premonition.

As for Spidweb players being liberal, there is a simple reason for that: as somebody said, "if a young person isn't liberal, he has no heart. If an old person isn't conservative, he has no head." Most Spidweb players are well-educated people in late teens/early twenties, which is the most idealistic age. There are also some conservatives here, but fewer than if this forum had significantly higher average age, or lower education level.
That somebody was Winston Churchill. ;)

Edit: This is what I get for not reading other people's posts thouroughly. Anyway, I'm still right, even if TM said it first. :P
