Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Monday, June 5 2006 07:56 Profile Homepage #22 Thank goodness I've never had my tent flip over or fill with water. I did go on a two week camping trip last summer and just a few days into the trip, the tent door zipper broke. The door couldn't be closed at all. Naturally, it rained off and on for the rest of the trip. Duct tape helped Dikiyoba out a lot that trip.

I thought only the people studying it resided there. Would one of you care to clarify that for me? I'm curious. It was a joke. Also, schizophrenia is not multiple personalities.

They act and talk more like paranoids who dislike Shaper rule and creations than criminals. (Although they certainly wouldn't admit it if they were criminals.) That's Dikiyoba's opinion, anyway.

ADV Shaping (Battle Gamma & Co.) in Geneforge Series
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Sunday, June 4 2006 06:43 Profile Homepage #38 The only problem with drakons being able to shape is that the shaped creations will be too weak to do much. A newly-created, ordinary fyora cannot attack or defend well against an eyebeast. On the other hand, drakons could shape the more powerful charged creations, which would make charged creations more interesting as well. Dikiyoba.

Moral dilemmas in Avernum 4
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Saturday, June 3 2006 18:41 Profile Homepage #44 Then you shouldn't have a problem deciding how to handle all these moral dilemmas. Whack Hack Slash :P ----- I don't think too deeply about these games. The fact that these creatures or people would be likely to attack and kill others (and that they immediately attack and attempt to kill my party) is enough justification for me to kill them without feeling guilty. On the other hand, being asked to go kill something that is not hostile just because it is a "monster" or because it happens to be guarding some treasure isn't something that Dikiyoba likes.

G3 Dialog options and plot line in Geneforge Series
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Saturday, June 3 2006 18:23 Profile Homepage #28 Well, in theory, the rebels are helping out the non-Shaper humans as well by overthrowing the Shapers, so massive non-Shaper casualties aren't good for their cause either. But the rebels sound a lot like Takers under a different name, and the Takers have always been mad and bloodthirsty. Plus, the rebels have all the canisters, which drives people who use them mad and bloodthirsty as well. It's unlikely that the rebels would go too far out of their way to prevent needless deaths, especially since that would make their goals more difficult to complete. Besides, if the rebels did go out of their way to prevent needless deaths and just killed the loyal Shapers, then the rebel path would be the justified and moral path to take, and there wouldn't be a good enough reason to side with the Loyalists. G3 would loose some of its replayability. Some people would be happier with a decent choice to take, but G3 really isn't that sort of game. It's a "Choose the lesser of two evils" game. Dikiyoba.

Well, glaahks look buglike, at least. ----- Originally by i: quote: Sounds like save/load abuse time. Agreed. If anything random were added to the game, it would have to be set up so that the player can't immediately reload and get something different. After all, anyone who had the patience to get the complete Geneforge 1 easter egg will sit and reload until they finally get the battle gamma they are after. ----- Originally by MagmaDragoon: quote: Where is the third person? It's there. You quoted it. In fact, you remind me of the adage "A broken clock is right twice a day" because you keep pointing out the first-person in my points in the hope that I messed up my gimmick. Unfortunately, Dikiyoba has somewhat arbitrarily decided that MagmaDragoon is not a broken clock, but rather a clock that is always 27 minutes and 33 seconds behind. :P Posts: 4346* \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00

Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Saturday, June 3 2006 09:41 Profile Homepage #266 I tested the Episode 2 site again and had no problems this time around. Originally by Arancaytar: quote: Don't forget that I already offered to host it (without ads, probably more space and traffic, and possibly better tech support - free hosts aren't notoriously quick to respond to requests). :P I haven't forgotten. It was only stated on page 7, after all. This whole script proves that I'm good at remember what people have done and said. And I've got your offer at top of my list of things to look into, should I decide that I have to move my site. Originally by Slartucker: quote: What book was that? Crown Duel, by Sherwood Smith. The story is told in first person and the main character gets knocked unconscious at the climax and doesn't wake up until everything has been resolved. So the reader misses out on how everything is resolved and only hears about it when another character tells about it afterwards. quote: And Aran, why in the world are you so eager to have everyone under your webhosting thumb? Because we're easier to watch that way, obviously. :P Dzeknjghfwpba. Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00
A 2 part 3 stuck in The Avernum Trilogy
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Saturday, June 3 2006 07:02 Profile Homepage #7 1. The Ritual of Welcoming is in Avit. You'll know you are in the right spot when you find a room with three puddles in it. When you walk up to the puddles, you will be given a description of the color it is and asked whether or not you want to touch it. There should be a vahnatai in the room who will tell you how to do the Ritual properly. If you do it properly, a dialog box will pop up and tell you so. 2. The vahnatai is an outside encounter in the ruins of a vahnatai city. He's the one with a valuable-looking necklace. Don't try to steal it, obviously. You probably have to know the language to get him to train you. Vahnatai lore is useful in a few situations, so it's probably worth it. 3. Please don't double post. Use the edit button instead. Dikiyoba hopes this is enough help. Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00

Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Friday, June 2 2006 20:04 Profile Homepage #260 Originally by Arancaytar: quote: See? It's starting already. Pretty soon the script will be unreadable. My script will never become completely unreadable for three reasons: 1. That typo has been there for weeks, and no one noticed it (or at least, no one said anything) until now. 2. Only Dikiyoba the character has been caught by the thing, not Dikiyoba the narrator. 3. It would completely detract from the plot, and I'm still upset over the last book I read because it pulled a stunt that detracted from the plot. ----- Originally by Ephesos: quote: Dikiyoba, your site is acting up. I click on a link, and it disappears until I refresh. Sorry, I don't know what's wrong with it. I just tested it and got the problem too, but only on the site of Episode 2, and then only inconsistently. ----- Dknhfwqa. Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00
What continent do you live on? (in which the voices take over) in General
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Friday, June 2 2006 19:26 Profile Homepage #19 Originally by Ephesos: quote: Originally written by Robinator, #034: quote: And a surprising 7% of people lives in Antarctica. I hope this one didn't actually surprise anybody. It's up to 9% now. If anything, it's surprising that the number is so low. The poll has eight continents and the Antarctica option has "Hey, you never know." Those are clearly two good reasons for absurdity. Although if anyone wants serious results, I'm North America, not Antarctica. Originally by Ford Prefect: quote: But I really wonder if anyone studied geography ever. Where did you find 6 (or even 7!!!) continents? Ever heard of "parts of the world"? By geographical definition there were and are (and I hope will be, otherwise we'll have a really big cataclism) 5 [five] continents. America, Eurasia, Africa, Australia&Oceania and Antarctica. However, there are 7 [seven] parts of the world: Eurasia divided into 2 Europe and Asia and America divided into two: Northern and Southern. To think that Jamaica is a part of Northern America is the same as to thing Egypt and Zimbabwe are the part of Great Britain. Either Dikiyoba is too tired for proper comprehension, or you seriously contradicted yourself. [Edit: And Alorael beat Dikiyoba to it. And with better comprehension.] Edit 2: Typo.

ADV Shaping (Battle Gamma & Co.) in Geneforge Series
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Friday, June 2 2006 18:53 Profile Homepage #19 Thahds are good the way they are, because they are so basic. Battle betas should be able to do way more damage to an opponent than battle alphas. A far better melee attack should be the reason to spend the all extra essence on them. I'd rather be able to create stinging clawbugs than plated clawbugs. It would be interesting to give it high dexterity, extra AP, and a poison attack but give it only low armor. That way it would be good at hitting and doing damage, and good at avoiding being hit, but when it did get hit, it would get hit hard. Dikiyoba.
