A Few Advance Notes On Geneforge 4 in Geneforge Series
Grain of Salt Infiltrator Member # 6652	written Saturday, April 8 2006 11:08 Profile #162 quote: Originally written by Sahdrani: Well, I would suggest an Avernum 4 engine for a crossover (story-wise) of the Geneforge-Avernum universes. I would really like that. Oh, and make it so that you have 2 campaigns. and bring Erika back. (like, mabye a Geneforge-aiugmented person could Shape her again?) :) NOOOOOOOO. No offense, but that's an even worse idea than more evil vahahtai. Geneforge is Geneforge, and Avernum is Avernum. A4 only melded the engines, and look at the response it got. -------------------- But I don't want to ride the elevator. Posts: 420 \| Registered: Sunday, January 8 2006 08:00

A3: XP/Level Mysteriously Decreased in Tech Support
Grain of Salt Infiltrator Member # 6652	written Saturday, April 8 2006 03:54 Profile #1 Did he actually lose levels? If it's just uneven experience, there might be an explanation. I think that the person who actually does the killing gets more experience than someone who just sits there. The Ma Gwai character seems more of a "tank" that you would send out to beat up things and get beat up upon. But then again, I know hardly anything about A3. -------------------- But I don't want to ride the elevator. Posts: 420 \| Registered: Sunday, January 8 2006 08:00
Satanism in General
Grain of Salt Infiltrator Member # 6652	written Saturday, April 8 2006 01:33 Profile #2 From the Wiki description, I suppose that it's a perfectly valid religion. The opposite of Buddhism. Must be awkward at parties, though. "Oh, I'm a lawyer. And you?" "Well, I'm a Satanic priest." -------------------- But I don't want to ride the elevator.

An RP in the World of Avernum Reloaded in General
Grain of Salt Infiltrator Member # 6652	written Saturday, April 8 2006 01:29 Profile #261 Drale sat at a bar in Squiggus. He had forsaken his regular robe for a plain brown tunic and boots. Hopefully, this would prevent him from being noticed by any passing Agents. In the event that one did notice him, the guards strategetically placed around him would kill that Agent quickly. In any case, Drale only needed to be here for a while longer. Long enough to recieve word back from the League. Just as he was thinking to give up on them, there was the sound of an axe thumping into wood. That was the signal. Drale and his men strolled casually outside, then ducked behind the building. A scrawny young soldier of Drale's army waited for them. "Here's yer message." He handed them a tightly bound letter. "We got some trouble with them Agents back at the port, but the message got through." Drale was not listening to him. His eyes scanned the parchment. This was good. The League occupied a prime position right behind his enemy. With their help, a devastating two-pronged attack could be orchestrated. Drale scrawled a reply on the back. My only demands are that we both fight the Dominion. It is the enemy of everything on Valorim. I will send a soldier to you to discuss tactics. Valorim is gearing up for a devastating attack on our enemy. Drale finished writing. He gave the message to one of his most capable men, Berr, with instructions to seize a small boat at nightfall and sail to the isles. Drale then instructed another man to contact the Anama, whose devoted armies would be very useful in an attack. There was the matter of the weather disturbance, though. Drale frowned, but sent the man anyway. Perhaps it would clear up. He also sent a man to contact the Guild. Guildsmen were slippery folks, and he did not trust them entirely, especially after their slaughter of his men. However, the organization certainly held power. And power, not trustworthiness, is what he needed most. Drale smiled as the last messenger went. Enough of this waiting. Enough of these covert agents. Enough of riling up the masses. Finally, it was fighting time. -------------------- But I don't want to ride the elevator. Posts: 420 \| Registered: Sunday, January 8 2006 08:00

Indian Doctor Jailed For Agreeing To Abort Female Fetus in General
Grain of Salt Infiltrator Member # 6652	written Wednesday, April 5 2006 01:08 Profile #23 quote: Originally written by Sir David: I am rather astounded by the inability of much of the pro-choice movement to understand what Ash just said. It's quite simple: if it has 46 human chromosomes (or 47, but let's deal with non-mutants for the moment), it is a human cell. If every one of such cells in an organism is killed, a human life has been extinguished. Notice I'm not saying that God kills a kitten every time you jack off - 23 != 46 - but in truth, the only real reason it's ok to kill a fetus and not a baby is that you can't see the fetus' cute little face. I understand this argument, but the trouble is, where does it stop? All that you're destroying is the potential for a child. Aren't you destroying that same potential by using contraceptives? Certain Catholics think so. Aren't you also destroying the same potential by choosing to abstain from having a child? It goes on and on and on. My belief is that this is simply too complicated and that we should just let people do what they want to do with their bodies. Also, isn't abortion is identical to using contraceptives? The only difference is whether you use it before or after you had sex. I am also reminded of the mantra "If you don't like abortions, don't have one. Abortions would not be common at all. It would be an emergency procedure. Many, many people would never have an abortion. -------------------- But I don't want to ride the elevator. Posts: 420 \| Registered: Sunday, January 8 2006 08:00

An RP in the World of Avernum Reloaded in General
Grain of Salt Infiltrator Member # 6652	written Tuesday, April 4 2006 11:33 Profile #246 It was near noon in the town of Aminro. The peasants were at their work. The smiths pounded away at their anvils. The merchants called out the names of their goods, furtively hoping that someone would buy them. All were unaware to the drama unfolding in their midst. A constest. A contest between two people: a Looter and an Agent. The Agent in question's name was Samantha. She was a skilled Agent, and had a bright future in the ranks of Demetrius's organization. She was especially skilled in the way of illusions. At the present moment, she was preparing to give a fiery speech to the general public in the market square before her. The other contestant lurked in the shadows of the houses. He stood there, waiting, waiting. Occasionally someone approached him to ask why he wore heavy black robes on a sweltering day, but then they spotted the knife on his hip and the wand on his back and thought better of it. He didn't know where his quarry was, but he knew it was here. The glowing saphhire in his hand told him so. He waited. Sooner or later, the Agent would emerge. The job of Agents was to fire up the crowd. It is difficult to hide while making a public speech. Ah. There she was. The Agent stood up in the square and started preaching about the evils of the Empire, and the restrictiveness of the Anama. One clean shot to the chest. He aimed his wand, and willed it to fire. A bolt of lightning flew forward. It arced towards the Agent... ...and went right through, ending the life of a bystander on the other side. The illusionary Agent smiled at him, then disappeared. Gren- for that was his name- fumed. He had been tricked! The townspeople were panicked now. And when townspeople are panicked, they tend to form mobs. Gren sprinkled some stealth powder on himself and set off in pursuit. Samantha ran, quitely but quickly. She had seen the assassin from the start, and decided that a good illusion would buy her time. She would lurk here, finish him off as he came by, and then return to her job with extra political ammunition against the Looters. It was the perfect plan. It would have gone off perfectly, too, had it not been for the stealth powder. Gren spotted Samantha when she could not see him. He looked around. It was in an isolated alley, perfect for a kill. He drew his wand again. This time he would hit the real thing. Samantha frowned, sensing something was wrong. It shouldn't have taken this long for the assassin to find her. Then she noticed a slight disturbance in the air. Her brain made the connection at the same instant a bolt of magic flew from nowhere. Samantha dodged narrowly, breathing hard. She threw a fireball at the disturbance. The loud cry told her she had aimed correctly. She smiled and relaxed. That was a mistake. Revenge was exacted upon her as the wand finally hit. The contest was over. There were no winners, but two losers. ---------- Drale smiled grimly while guiding his horse across the river dividing mid Valorim from southern Valorim. Lennus and Squiggus were under Dominion control, but hardly defended. He would take the long route around them in any case. Reports had come back from Aminro, Angel's Rest, and other small villages. Agent numbers were decreasing, but at the cost of his men. Ah well. A Pyhrric victory is better than no victory at all. In any case, it hardly mattered. Soon he would reach a port city, from which he could send a messenger bird with no chance of being intercepted. It was a lot of trouble, but the Karnold Islands League would prove valuable allies. OOC: Consider this an official offer of alliance. We can crush Dintiradan! :D -------------------- But I don't want to ride the elevator. Posts: 420 \| Registered: Sunday, January 8 2006 08:00

Not only did we specifically say NO UNDEAD ARMY, you're not even a mage-based faction. If the DOMINION can't summon ten necromancy-capable demons to crush me (and they can't), you sure can't.

An RP in the World of Avernum Reloaded in General
Grain of Salt Infiltrator Member # 6652	written Saturday, April 1 2006 04:02 Profile #227 OCC: Nice strategy, Slartucker. Stinky Power! :P IC: Drale was back in his base, in the heart of the Lorelei mountains. It was near nightfall. Messengers stood before him, waiting to report their news. The next one came forward. "Sir, the battle in Krizsan is over. The Hunters attempted to make undead from their fallen, but there appears to be some sort of residual magic from a religious order. It kills their necromancers." Drale nodded. "Good. Anything else.?" "The College appears to be actively gearing up for war. We've got Agents in almost every town near here. And none actually seen, only rumors or shadows." "There's also some sort of disturbance on Bigail. The rain has been going on nonstop for quite a while near the bay area. If it continues the current upward trend it might interfere with troop movements." Drale nodded. "Anything else?" The messenger looked slightly fearful. "Well, sir, you see... "Spit it out." The messenger gulped. "Tygra... he burned the book. The tome. The Guild detected it and sent us word." The messenger waited apprehensively. Drale looked very calm. He reached down to the ground and fashioned a crude figure out of sticks. "This is you," he said. Then, in a lightning fast motion, Drale sliced the figure in half with his sword, which landed on the wall next to the messenger's neck. "That is what will happen to you if I am cheated out of another magical item." The messenger gulped again. "Go, You are dismissed." The messenger fled the room. Drale put his head in his hands. He had again been cheated out of his rightful prize. It would not happen again. He called after the fleeing messeneger, "Fetch my most skilled men and bring them here. I have a job for them." ----------- Later, ten black-cloaked men rode out of the cave. Their horses were swift and their blades were sharp. Each carried on his back one wand of death and one glowing saphhire. The saphhires detected mages and magical prescences within a mile. And the wands were to deal with those mages and magical prescences, mainly Agents. They were Drale's best men. And they had a job to do. OCC: I hope this isn't overpowered. They certainly won't kill every Agent. It's just a countermeasure. -------------------- But I don't want to ride the elevator. Posts: 420 \| Registered: Sunday, January 8 2006 08:00
