I know most of those members, and I'm a newbie. Therefore, it's not implausible that this was a new member.
Which scenario is more plausible, though? A new member for no apparent reason, or an older member who acts the way they usually do and who has pulled similar stunts before?

Dikiyoba doesn't think it really matters, though. A troll is a troll. Unless they have colorful, fuzzy hair. Then Dikiyoba may be curious.

Drypeak Warrens is correct.

If you train first and then use the spellbook, you can get level 4 in fyora. Dikiyoba doesn't know if it makes much (if any) difference in the long run, but Dikiyoba still likes to have it.

Dikiyoba will agree with Alberich on question one. Dikiyoba believes that someone went through the game without canisters and still got the same ending.

What is it with you (or anyone, really) hating religion as a whole? It's not inherently evil. Yes, terrible things have been done in the name of religion. But good things have been done in the name of religion, and terrible things have been done in the name of almost everything.

You might have to return one of the other Crystal Souls first before Rentar-Ihrno will help you. (Rentar is a she, by the way.)

It's been a while since Dikiyoba has played it as well. Although Dikiyoba does remember that the Mica Tome is from the tower in the demonic lands, not Gaddika's fortress.

Edit: Typo.

The article doesn't say that, though. The article says that edible fish species will decline to the point where it becomes impractical to fish for them, basically. They might not go extinct once we realize how close to extinction they are (and if the demand for them drops because we find a more economical food source).

Wow. Two full stories and I finally decide to learn Return Life. My twice-fictional counterpart is rather dense. EDIT: Aw... he died again?
Quoted exactly as I saw it on the active topics page, because for some reason it made me laugh uncontrollably.

Your fictional counterpart is one of the most consistently infuriating characters, actually. I don't know what his problem with following my mental outline is, but he's caused problems twice already and decided to do something else entirely once. (You'll notice he's not at the chat room like he was originally supposed to be.)

Dikiyoba thinks that decision probably made the story better, but still! The nerve of that fictional tree-hugging nature-worshipping druid freak! :P

Stew Boy, if you really are the sort of person who believes in non-violence and not capable of striking back for normal bullying (not the kind that result in serious injuries), then you have to develop different strategies. Learn the people and situations that result in you getting bullied, and avoid them. If you get into a situation that makes you feel uncomfortable, leave. Learn how to stay calm and give simple, direct statements when faced by a bully. Learn when to walk away. Accept that you will recieve minor blows and harrassment and be okay with it. Accept that there is always the potential to be bullied and don't let the fear of it effect your life.

The key thing here is to never let the bullies faze or control you, because as soon as you've let them get away with that, they've beaten you.

But they are already melting, and not everyone believes that it is a problem.

On the plus side, if we wait until everyone is 100% certain that there is a problem because one of the Antarctic ice sheets has fallen into the ocean, we won't have to worry about Florida messing up any more elections, because it'll be underwater. :P

I think the average person you are likely to meet is inherently good, actually. Humans are in no way perfect, and they do a lot of bad and evil things, and there are some truly twisted people out there, and that people's goodness gets lost sometimes when they are put in truly desperate situations, but I still think people are good overall.

So basically, Salmon and Fatman, you agree that people are messing up the environment, but don't think that the term "global warming" covers it correctly?

The other question, of course, is what are we going to do about the pollution, climate change, etc.?

One amusing thing about postcount topics in PPP is that now that the program displays all the current member information (from the Endeavor) as opposed to the information at the time the topic was saved, you can see all the 1000x postcount people talking about "I'll *never* make it to 100 posts, I'm so slow, I post so little" etc.
So anyone with a current 1000x post count should start whining about being worried that they'll never make it to 10,000 posts so we can laugh at them later? :P

Dikiyoba will *never* make it to 10,000 posts, Dikiyoba is so slow, Dikiyoba posts so little... :P

I usually have music playing while I play Spiderweb games. (Although I usually have music playing just in general.)

Dikiyoba listens to the Lord of the Rings soundtracks most of the time.

There's one spot where there is a healer, and I've always just walked/rowed around whenever I needed to recover, but if you like to rest, bring lots of food, because you'll lose some as you go over the waterfalls. (There will be a few places to get more along the way, but not much.)

Loner: 50%
Hedonist: 40%
Altruist: 35%
Miscreant: 20%
Narcissist: 10%
Destroyer: 5%
Conqueror: 5%

Dikiyoba isn't entirely sure about this test. Dikiyoba thinks Loner should be higher. Maybe it would make more sense if Dikiyoba saw the description for it.
