There were only four polls in January (or at least, that's when they were posted in last). shadow, the made a few stupid polls in late December though. All the rating topics weren't until late February/early March.

Dikiyoba apparently has way too much free time if Dikiyoba can afford to go look all this up.

Hmm. Dikiyoba assumed that all your posts were meant to be humorous and so Dikiyoba responded accordingly. Dikiyoba is sorry for the confusion.

The individual Shaper graphics and individual Drakon graphics aren't even the same size.

Dikiyoba thinks it's much more trouble than it's worth.

It's spelled vahnatai. You were very close.

Dikiyoba wonders what kind of creature an "Empire worm" would be. That would be one interesting monster plague.

And that's assuming that because two things look alike, they must be alike. Which isn't always true.

Dikiyoba's response to Shaun Waun's question is "There is an exception to every rule."

Dikiyoba would like to see new additional spells rather than replaced spells. Still, Dikiyoba is open to replacing spells that are basically repeats (like "minor heal," "heal," and "major heal") for something much more inventive.

Yes, my response was directed at Dead Weight on the Forums' first post in this topic. Yes, I realized that Dead Weight on the Forums' post was a joke. Yes, my response to it was a joke. No, I did not decree that Dead Weight on the Forums is not a self-respecting Spiderwebber.

[SARCASM]Don't make Dikiyoba pull these sarcasm brackets out again. Dikiyoba can and will, though, if it becomes neccessary.[/SARCASM]

I haven't heard of this incident before now. However, I have heard cases about underage teenagers getting caught because they post pictures of themselves drinking at parties on MySpace.

I honestly doesn't see much difference between everyone on these boards and people who I meet in person. In fact, the parallels between life on the board and life off the board are sometimes creepy.

For this reason, Dikiyoba doesn't really like calling life off the board "real life." It's no more real out there than here!

You need to ask the vahnatai who is studying an herb catalog about the toadstools first before you can take them.

Dikiyoba may have the name of the vahnatai in a second...

Edit: Nope, can't remember the name. But he's wandering around Egli somewhere.

Sharx, it's good to see someone actually listening to comments. It doesn't always happen. Thank you.

Also, Dikiyoba doesn't think there is any shame whatsoever in being a slow poster. Although the rapid speed of posting here has forced Dikiyoba to rewrite this post several times.

It's 1337 2p34k. Or n00bish. Or some similar language that no self-respecting Spiderwebber should ever use.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! There are thirteen graemlins used in two one-line posts right next to each other! Dikiyoba's eyes! They burn!

Windows or Mac? For Windows, it's the "Prnt Scrn" button. Of course, then you have to paste the resulting picture somewhere.

Dikiyoba doesn't know how to do it on a Mac.

Hmm. Dikiyoba prefers "Royal Guard" over "Royal Advisor". "Berserker" would be a fun title as well.

It's actually a powerful curse that is supposed to kill you. But thanks to this

oakleaf Error: Too many nodes used in line 40. Seems like you hit an infinite loop.nothing happens. It doesn't even make the scenario unwinnable. I killed Brother Oakleaf three times, and he showed up in the next spot like nothing had ever happened.

Dikiyoba doesn't think that makes Brother Oakleaf sound like an undead. Instead, it sounds suspiciously like he's a vahnatai...

If you have to ask whether or not to buy it, the answer is probably no. In my experience, I've known whether or not to buy a given Spiderweb game within two or three hours of playing time.

Dikiyoba just came back from reading old topics in the Richard White Games Forum, so both Zorro's most recent post and signature make perfect sense.

And should we envy them or pity them?

Dikiyoba doesn't care what Dikiyoba gets, so long as Dikiyoba ends up with one soon, since Dikiyoba reads Dikiyoba's name from Arancaytar's list like this: Dikiyoba - [some discussion].

Edit: Typo.

Spending any length of time reading the posts in this forum is likely to result in a major plot spoiler. But since many people who like this game will like it for reasons other than the plot, keeping the plot secret isn't a huge deal.

Dikiyoba hates anti-spoilerism, since, in Dikiyoba's experience elsewhere, it tends to result in [SPOILER]

Dikiyoba's favorite cheat is still "igotarock." Dikiyoba is highly disappointed that it only works in G1.

Well, I understand the "perfectionist" sentiment perfectly. If there's a zone uncleared, a door not opened, or a quest left undone, I'm not satisfied.

The only place Dikiyoba cheats to clear places is the mines in G1. If there's nothing left alive and no area unexplored in a mine section, why should Dikiyoba have to walk back-and-forth across it many, many times while clearing out the other mine sections?

I know. I pulled it from a topic that was locked, since I couldn't respond to it there.

Dikiyoba is not a moderator. Dikiyoba thinks that this should be a comforting thought.

30 Skill Points To Spend -GF2- in Geneforge Series
Councilor
Member # 6600
Profile Homepage #12
Well, I play as a solo melee Guardian, so I would put skill points in strength, melee, QA, and parry. If it were up to me, my leadership would be up to ten and my mechanics would be up to fifteen, but that's just me.

Dikiyoba recommends raising a few skills at a time and not all at once, so that it's not a huge loss if you don't like where you place your skill points.
