Okay, so supervision is necessary. I get it now. But there's still a point at which it becomes ridiculous, and forbidding tag is one of them.
Dikiyoba thinks that the fact that the school had to ban tag shows a lack of supervision, rather than an excess of it.

That's because you grabbed the information for a website, not for the picture graphic itself.

Oh, and Dikiyoba actually got IMAGE(http://www.quizmeme.com/pointless/results/45.gif) instead of 100%. Dikiyoba just wanted to properly earn that result.

Yes, the use ability button (it looks like a hand). You have the option to change the character's graphics and name from there.

Yes, that's the problem with preset classes. They have more starting skillpoints, but some of them are useless.

Don't worry too much about having a perfect strategy and party build. Avernum is forgiving enough that you won't have problems. Just go out and play the game.

Ahhh! I'm losing the ability to keep track of who is having problems with my site in all this spam. So, who is having issues with the site, but can still view it, and who is having issues with the site and can't view it?

The snow is just outside the message boards. Everyone is safe inside. For now.

No, Dikiyoba doesn't know what it's like outside the message boards either. Just that it snows.

I don't think much is lost by changing cement to rubber — really, what the hell is the difference to a six-year-old?
You can jump out of a swing if the ground below is wood chips or rubber pieces, but not if it's cement. Plus, you can bury people if the wood chips and rubber pieces are deep enough. :P

I think that one way to balance safety and fun is giving kids enough responsibility and information to think and decide for themselves. The odds of a kid getting seriously injured is much less if they know enough to make decisions for themselves. At my school, dodgeball was banned because it was too dangerous and someone might get hurt. But we played it whenever we could anyway, just with rules that you couldn't aim for the head or neck, or throw the ball with every ounce of your strength. If someone couldn't follow those rules, everyone left and the game ended. If a kid broke the rules repeatedly, everyone quickly learned that they were an idiot and they wouldn't be allowed to play any more. Sometimes, there would be two games of dodgeball going, one for the kids who thought that pain equaled fun and one for the kids who thought otherwise. No one was ever seriously hurt and it was a lot of fun, but it was still banned, which was foolish.

The good news is, even though it wasn't the best costume, it was still good enough to scare one of Dikiyoba's housemates out of his wits. That's the important part.

I couldn't answer yes to that poll, because now that I've seen the game, I like it the way it is and I wouldn't want it changed. But if Jeff were to do a pure sci-fi game, I think I'd like that too.

Having a slith can make a few encounters a little bit easier, so it's nice to have one.

Dikiyoba relies very heavily on basic mage spells and priest spells. One character is also a rogue with lots of tool use.

I'd rather have decent shoulders to ride on. I ride my bike on the sidewalk (when there is a sidewalk) because the shoulder of the road is too narrow (and often bumpy). I don't want to be on the same road as cars going 45, 55 miles per hour.

At Dikiyoba's school, that got turned into a game. Climb up to the plastic slide, build up as much static electricity as possible on the way down, run for the nearest metal object (or kid), and shock yourself as badly as you can. Repeat for half an hour.

Seriously, -X-, enough. (And that goes for everyone else who wants to see him appear too.) I know you want to be in the story, and I know you haven't appeared yet. Constantly reminding me of it only makes it more difficult for me to include you. So please stop. You're only hurting your cause.

It's not that Dikiyoba doesn't like suggestions, it's that this has moved from suggesting to beating Dikiyoba over the head with it. With a copy of Homeland. :P

I watched Wishbone. I don't really know why. It wasn't all that good, actually, and once they added a bunch of new characters, it was terrible. I never watched Reading Rainbow (probably because I was never home in time to catch it).

Dikiyoba remembers watching some other reading show, though. Something featuring a white van with a happy face on the side of it. Anyone know the name of it?

-X- wants to note that X hasn't made a post in a long time. -X- considers him a "dead member", so until X returns, it should be fine to imitate his name. But -X- had his name before XxX did, so he has rights to it.
(Please forgive me for the following because it is rather mean, but you are being rather silly.)

Oh, is that the way we do things? Well, in that case, Dikiyoba asks -X- to cease and desist with his posting gimmick. It's similar to Dikiyoba's, and Dikiyoba had it first, so Dikiyoba has the rights to it.

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.92

Dikiyoba felt like Dikiyoba was diagreeing a lot in certain sections, so Dikiyoba took the test again and disagreed with every question and earned a -0.25/-2.41. Apparently, Dikiyoba was disagreeing a lot on the libertarian/authoritarian questions.

But after hearing Ephesos say that DoK could have been better if he didn't rush it, I'm not going to attempt to make the deadline.
But on the other hand, DoK isn't bad the way it is now. Spend a few hours on it to get it done, wait a few days before you take another look at it, spend another few hours fixing it up, and release it for beta testing. You may regret it releasing it later on, but you've been around long enough and put enough thought into it already that we players won't regret that you released it. Besides, it might be helpful to have a few beta testers to look at it and give a few suggestions.

FWIW, one thing I would've liked in the 2nd and 3rd games is a little "customization" based on previous endings. Nothing too fancy - but, e.g., you get an optional screen in which you can tell the game which shapers died in GF 2 or which ending you got in GF 3 and your character's name (with default settings for newcomers) - so that, for example, an old Khyrik wouldn't appear if you'd killed him (but you could still get the info he provides another way)...
While I think it's a good idea, it would be far too much work to be feasible. (PS: use the edit button instead of double posting please.)

Dikiyoba has always secretly wanted to meet up with Dikiyoba's old characters. Where are they and what are they doing now? What advice would they have for another apprentice stuck in a similar situation? Dikiyoba can only speculate.

How many canisters did you use, Alberich? If you only used a few and Micawber used a lot, that could account for the difference.

Oh, and Dikiyoba welcomes you to (active participation in) the boards. We're currently running at a high level of insanity, so be sure that all of your sanity has been left with the fluffy turtles.

Not in Dikiyoba's experience. Dikiyoba's cat seems to be able to keep meowing for a very, very long time. Perhaps being a Siamese has something to do with that.
