Excellent lockings in General
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Sunday, February 18 2007 18:25 Profile Homepage #16 Originally by Salmon: quote: I need to nominate a custom title for Nioca. Mini-mod Nah, that's just typical responsible newbie behavior. Nioca doesn't become Spiderweb moderator material until he becomes cynical, engages in backdoor agreements with an admin or mod, and actively plotting against someone/everyone. Even then, there's so many canidates out there that the odds of getting the position is ridiculously low. Originally by Nioca: quote: Anyway, the reason I said "Perhaps it was a good thing that the thread was locked" was because I honestly didn't want to know whether I was on that list or not. You, Dikiyoba, and Drakefyre are probably the only ones not on that list. :P [ Sunday, February 18, 2007 18:43: Message edited by: Dikiyoba ] Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00
trenches and bunkers? in Geneforge Series
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Sunday, February 18 2007 18:09 Profile Homepage #30 There's just one problem. Imban doesn't mod this forum. Dikiyoba always finds it sad when a perfectly good topic, even an old one, is ruined by people talking about the topic instead of discussing its contents.

An editor. in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Sunday, February 18 2007 16:39 Profile Homepage #54 We probably don't have one. You will have to open up the gf4itemschars file to find what you are looking for (and perhaps make one, if you feel ambitious). Dikiyoba. Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00
Spiderweb Monthly Stats - February 2007 in General
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Sunday, February 18 2007 16:31 Profile Homepage #14 Aran, is your bot supposed to be only for Spiderweb, or does it have a function on Polaris too? Also, you should start it on the fourteenth so it will be ready by the seventeenth. :P Finally, Dikiyoba would like to know: when do we get to look at the list that really matters?

Episode 3 Continued in General
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Sunday, February 18 2007 09:10 Profile Homepage #244 He won't. And since Dikiyoba has no update for you, Dikiyoba will have to leave you with this tidbit instead: Randomizer is short, skilled with magic, and we don't know what he looks like. He's actually a servile. Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00
Topic for conversation... ... in General
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Sunday, February 18 2007 08:31 Profile Homepage #7 You don't make topics for the sake of making topics. Only make a topic when you have something important and/or interesting to say that you can't say in an active topic. Dikiyoba. Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00
Oldbiehood -- Analysis in General
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Saturday, February 17 2007 23:19 Profile Homepage #38 All right, fine. You're right and I'm wrong. My initial post on the subject was supposed to illustrate oddity (for that one particular example) of lumping me, having seen many (not most, mind you) of TM's posts, with even newer arrivals, who haven't seen many at all. But I suppose we all look equally ignorant from the other side of that generation gap. Now Dikiyoba is off to draw crayon artwork on the walls, throw tantrums in the store if Dikiyoba doesn't get candy, and have frequent nap times.

Because I Can: The Masochist's Guide To G4 in Geneforge 4: Rebellion

GF1 Sect question in Geneforge Series
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Saturday, February 17 2007 21:35 Profile Homepage #7 It's G1, so Learned Darian is actually a him. :rolleyes: Anyway, if you've only given your opinions to the Awakened, you could probably give enough anti-servile opinions to the Obeyers, the Takers, and elsewhere to be able to join the Obeyers without needing Learned Darian. Dikiyoba believes that most of the Obeyer's goodies can be gotten from a high mechanics skill and some living tools anyway. Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00
Why isn't there a strong magic/medium shaping/weak weapon class? in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Saturday, February 17 2007 20:31 Profile Homepage #2 I'm not positive, but I believe it was a balance issue. A fairly powerful creation army backed up by strong offensive spells and buffs would be too much. The warrior is already weak compared to the other classes as it is. Dikiyoba.

What do you hate. . . in General
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Saturday, February 17 2007 16:24 Profile Homepage #10 What are you talking about? Lava is awesome (when it's not threatening to kill people or destroy property you care about, anyway). The way it flows, temperatures so high it forms a physical barrier, lava tubes and other formations after it cools, the word "pahoehoe"... what's not to like about those? :P Dikiyoba.

Oldbiehood -- Analysis in General
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Saturday, February 17 2007 12:35 Profile Homepage #30 Originally by Riibu: quote: Actually, it's just after all the times there've been topics like these and analyses and everything, I'm a little annoyed that none of the definitions never seem to apply quite directly to me. Well, for many of us, that's probably accurate. There's a reason we don't have one concise definition of -bies and of "generations" and can easily put everyone where they belong: it's pretty much impossible, since everyone has different perceptions. Ephesos thinks he's an oldbie (or at least oldbish enough), but not everyone thinks so. I think I know who TM is, but Kelandon thinks I don't. As the definitions get more detailed, more people feel excluded. Dikiyoba. Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00
Jeff, please respond - Magic and Avernum 5 in Avernum 4
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Saturday, February 17 2007 10:52 Profile Homepage #13 No, Dikiyoba meant how sometimes you cast a spell in Geneforge and lose the spell energy and essence from it but then a monster or poison damage interrupts the animation sequence and you never get the effects from the spell. If there was no animation, that wouldn't happen so often. [ Saturday, February 17, 2007 10:53: Message edited by: Dikiyoba ] Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00
Jeff, please respond - Magic and Avernum 5 in Avernum 4
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Saturday, February 17 2007 10:27 Profile Homepage #11 Originally by Archmage Alex: quote: Exactly. In Exile 3 many of the spells didn't even have animations, the effect just happened. I don't see any problem with this at all. That would certainly reduce the number of times a spell only gets half-cast in Geneforge because of entering combat/taking damage. It's probably not going to happen, though, given the graphic improvements we see in each new game. Dikiyoba. Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00

A2 doesn't have the wound spell. But cloud of blades handles rakshasi. Dikiyoba. Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00
Oldbiehood -- Analysis in General
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Friday, February 16 2007 23:25 Profile Homepage #18 Originally by Kelandon: quote: The fourth generation, represented by Nioca and others who joined around the same time as he did, is the group of people who have joined within the past year or so. This crowd has seen very little of TM on these boards and nothing of Misc, and they know the major designers for BoA better than the major designers for BoE. While I realize that I am most certainly not in your generation, I must object. I know exactly who TM is and I was able to see him in action (fortunately or unfortunately). :P Originally by Thralni: quote: I'm no oldbie. I'm probably not an newbie anymore too. Conclusion: I'm a nothingbie. No, you're not quite old enough yet to be a semi-oldbie, so you're a midbie. Dikiyoba. Edit: Typo.

Avernum 4 - 7.63 (10.0/1.0) in General
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Friday, February 16 2007 20:53 Profile Homepage #20 Originally by Emperor Tullegolar: quote: You can't truly know your enemy until you've faced them in battle. Then your philosophizing and sharing of opinions is ultimately worthless. We won't understand the brilliance of your vision until we meet you on the battlefield... and promptly beat the snot out of you. :P Originally by Randomizer: quote: Dikiyoba - I'm shocked that you took so long to get to Fort Draco. That's because Dikiyoba would play for twenty minutes, get bored, quit, not touch it for two or three days, decide to give it another try, play for twenty minutes...

Rats Aplenty (or how do I set a flag ingame?) in Blades of Avernum
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Friday, February 16 2007 18:36 Profile Homepage #1 Go to the character editor on the main screen, load your game, go to advanced features, click on the SDF option, and enter the SDF you want to change in one number at a time, save your game (probably under a different name), open your game, and see if it worked.

Geneforge 3 - 7.47 (9.5/2.0) in General
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Friday, February 16 2007 18:19 Profile Homepage #14 I didn't like this game much, but I didn't dislike it either. It would have been a good game if this was the first in the series. But it's not. It's the third. So 6.5. Dikiyoba. Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00
heustess quest in Geneforge Series
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Friday, February 16 2007 18:13 Profile Homepage #11 Well, you're probably going to end up killing Goettsch anyway, so you might as well get something out of it. And you don't exactly need extra endurance towards the end of the game. Dikiyoba. Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00
Geneforge 1 - 8.92 (10.0/5.0) in General
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Friday, February 16 2007 18:06 Profile Homepage #15 I'm bumping up my rating to a 9.0. It's simple (but not too simple) and original. It has the uber-augmented Sholai and a powerful human Geneforge. It's not perfect (clearing the four mine zones comes to mind) but having fire- and ice-breathing dinosaurs really speaks to my eight year old self. Dikiyoba will have to play G4 soon and decide which one is better. Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00
