Dikiyoba doesn't know about that, Nick. It's actually kind of funny seeing someone with a longer signature than Arancaytar. Long live the long sig! :P

Edit: Typo.

And now it's time for a long, important post. Bear with me.

-----

I don't think I'll be able to write up the next scene tonight. It's getting late, I'm busy, and I haven't even started typing it yet. Apologies if I don't.

-----

Snafta, Possession, and Dead Weight on the Forums: you died in the first episode. Really. (Someday, I will write a "special edition" to fix these discrepancies.)

-----

Dead Weight, is there a particular name you want to go by? (And while I'm at it, does anyone else have a different name they want to go by?)

The following people do NOT have an element according to Jewel's current Periodic Table of Elements chart. Obviously, if you don't have an element, you can't and won't be brought back. Which would be bad. Which is why I'm asking for audience participation. PM me with suggestions for what element you or anyone else on this list should have, along with a sentence or two about why you/they should have it. Once I get a good suggestion for someone, I'll mention that they have one. For instance, I have an element planned for Delicious Vlish, which is why he isn't on the list.

Dikiyoba hopes that everyone who will appear in the script and does not have an element is on this list, and that Dikiyoba caught everyone who already has an element. But since Dikiyoba is only human (unless Dikiyoba is actually a reptile disguised as a human), there is likely to be one mistake somewhere.

Uh, sharx...searching for "flying creation" brings up nine topics. In fact, Nick Ringer mentioned flying creations in one of those threads nearly a month before you mentioned flying creations in this one.

In fact, requests for flying creations (if you'll forgive Dikiyoba for the bad pun) have been flying around the Geneforge Forum for a long time.

Dikiyoba's vote is on molten lead as the most unpleasant.

Well, if you're used to playing/hearing about G2 and G3, it's a logical mistake to make, since you can't use the Geneforge in them. It's just like all the people who want to know how to use the Geneforge in G2 and G3, since they could do it in G1.

Originally by sharx:

...you'd have to be stupid not to try every possible way to use it!!!
What if, instead of trying every possible way to use the Geneforge, you just try the correct way to use it? Are you still stupid?

Edit: Ahh! Dikiyoba half-posted again. It's still better than double posting, though.

You should be able to use Living Tools in conjunction with Unlock. So if the spell isn't enough, you can use a few Tools to help out. That makes it unreasonable not to use the spell but also beneficial to collect tools. Unless you explicitly avoid locked doors, everybody wins.
That's the way it worked in G1. While it was nice to save a living tool or two or three, it was annoying to pick the lock to the create ornk canister, since it required using 14+ living tools individually to get it open.

Because people keep posting in it. Every additional post keeps this thread alive for a little bit longer.

Dikiyoba apologizes for this post, because it keeps this thread alive a little bit longer. But sometimes, the obvious must be stated.

I got to the forest before I gave up. I just can't fight in real time. Besides, the background forest noise is the same as one of the background noises in the Geneforge games, and I don't want anything to ruin my enjoyment of Geneforge. Or any other Spiderweb game, for that matter.

Incidently, I think someone needs to hold a celebratory posting topic in one of those invisible forums. :P

Skimming through posts while extremely tired doesn't work. I read this

as this

The Universe was created by Slartucker.
Fortunately, at that point, Dikiyoba realized that something was wrong, stopped reading, and went back and reread the sentence correctly. It was absurdly and bewilderingly funny for a moment, though.

Arancaytar, both my sig links and the site in your post work just fine for me. I don't know what the problem is.

Oh, what the heck. Dikiyoba will change Dikiyoba's name for once. (Okay, twice. But the first change lasted for less than five minutes) Dikiyoba only hopes it doesn't become a habit.

I think it's worse than not "telling the truth in schools." Dishonesty and not wanting all the facts out is in all level of society. And I've come to the conclusion that schools and education aren't valued at all, since that's the message I'm getting from the local, state, and national level.

Whenever Dikiyoba hears someone say "Education is important," Dikiyoba hears "So long as I don't have to pay for it."

Hey, after what we all just went through with the Ur-Noob, killing us all like that, I think maybe we should get a bit more pro-active about this sort of thing.

Oh, wait, that was just Dikiyoba's script. It seemed so real.

Still, though.
And that's the key difference between Ed and lord llama. Ed created a topic that I could use for a higher purpose. So far, lord llama hasn't.

Interesting timing, though, Student of Trinty. Dikiyoba just finished brainstorming and researching for the sequel.

MUWAHAHAHAHA!

Sorry.
