Don't worry, I won't describe the imps in excruciating detail before you kill them. Or they kill you, whichever. :P

Dikiyoba has limited Internet access for the next few days, so the next update will be delayed but should be two chapters.

Most people prefer to eat, sleep, etc. outside of the zoned areas where there is no chance of being attacked by rogue creations, that's why.

And yet, considering how easy it is to google up stuff like this, it seems that "using stuff for its intended purpose" isn't always harmonious either.

Also, the first reference had "and venereal infections in the partner" in it, so I read the abstract. The study concludes "[t]he presence of high-risk types of HPV, notably HPV-16 (which is known to cause cancer of the cervix), in the majority of anal-cancer tissue specimens suggests that most anal cancers are potentially preventable." Given that these same high-risk types of HPV cause most cases of cervical cancer too, it proves nothing about hetero-vaginal sex being better than anal sex.

Dikiyoba thinks one of the main reason we don't see many children (and perhaps cats and dogs) in Geneforge is that everyone can be killed (and in fact certain places are meant to be wiped out). Letting the PC slaughter children is generally not viewed as a good thing.

I voted "something else" for conflict, but only because I'd like to see the world before I decide what should happen in it.

But there are giant rats in Avernum and there are definitely cats down there.

Dikiyoba has no idea whether cats exist in the Geneforge world or not.

There are (or were) dogs in the Geneforge world. In G1, one of the Sholai describe roamers as "little walking dog things." G4 also describes roamers:

"There is a small pack of roamers here, noisily eating meat and resting up for the next hunt. Roamers are, most likely, a highly modified breed of dog. The Shapers apparently decided, at some point, that a dog could only be improved by the ability to spit acidic saliva. Or to explode."

Edit: Clarification.

Dikiyoba assures you this thread is totally original and not in any way a cheap imitation of earlier works.

I can now say that I have gotten a Christmas tree in the dark. (Legally.)

Despite it being much faster than getting a Christmas tree during the day, Dikiyoba hopes to never do it again. Blackberry brambles should be seen, not felt.

When an ordinary member starts enforcing the rules, then they should expect it to be thoroughly scrutinized. Misinformation can cause a lot of confusion.

New GF4 Editor in Geneforge 4: Rebellion

Originally by the Ratt:

quote:
Suggestions on how to get an editor to act like a canister, try finding and studying the canister scripts and determining what increases the stats. Then try to integrate it into an editor. A possible problem would be that you would increase the number of canisters you have used when using the editor to change your creation/spell stats.
Really, looking at Croikle's editor (for G1) would be so, so much easier.

Also changed color of Melted Sand to a darker, smoky green to make then visibly different from Flawed Crystals.
Dikiyoba is probably not going to download the editor any time soon (only since Dikiyoba is unlikely to ever use it), but this is a very good idea.

Probably. :P

Dikiyoba suspects the demos are all similar in size. But, the second one did seem larger than the others to Dikiyoba.

Heh. A fascinating look at the inner workings of UBB. (To clarify, Azuma's display name at the time he made the post was probably Haakai-Tender Valcrist, so even though he's changed his name since then, that name is still connected to that post.)

quote:
I'll look for some Necromancer posts and reply if I have something interesting to add.
Dikiyoba doesn't think that's sarcasm, so necromancy is a term for (usually unwarranted) topic revivals, not a Geneforge-related discussion.

Edit: Fixed quote.

It really sucks, in order for you to go shaping, you cant shape drayks or drakons, because you need canisters to do, also you cant make any advanced creations because you can only be trained twice, sucks doesn't it?
You can use a few canisters without negative effect--four freebies before you start getting angry, Dikiyoba thinks--so if you know what creation you want to make you can grab the canister(s) you need.

Dikiyoba finds that the only skill trainer worth holding out for in the combat skill trainer in East Medab. There are a few others, but they come too late in the game to bother with.
