Dintiradan Guardian Member # 6670	written Tuesday, January 23 2007 08:13 Profile Homepage #82 The main reason I'm trying to get others to post is that Gnosis can only communicate with two other characters: Tuuly (presently drowning) and Melora (presently unconscious). That aside, if you have too much on your plate, by all means don't post. MoS has been revived before, it can be revived again. -------------------- Eat obscure alchemical metal, fiend-skank! - Haley (OotS #62) Posts: 1509 \| Registered: Tuesday, January 10 2006 08:00
Endeavor and Privacy in General
Dintiradan Guardian Member # 6670	written Tuesday, January 23 2007 08:06 Profile Homepage #8 The only thing I use the Endeavour for is matching old PDNs with new PDNs. As for the privacy issue, rewriting the profile instead of having archived copies would be an improvement. But yeah, I second Kel. Better safe than sorry. Until the Endeavour is acknowledged in the registration process on SpidWeb, there's a very high chance that the new members have no idea about the project until too late. -------------------- Wow.

Nothing on the internet should be considered the last word. However, Wikipedia is a great way to get easy-to-digest information quickly, and I'd rather use a tactile encyclopaedia than Citizendium.

The furthest it's ever been from midnight is seventeen minutes. I'd rather have the base setting at 1800 for a better judge of each situation's severity. By Thralni: quote: However, this got me thinking. I actually admire the villains for the loyalty, which is understandable: if you are not loyal, you can expect the bullit. That concept can be very handy, though not in the good ones' system. That would mean that almost everybody would be shot. You're not still talking about Annie, are you? The guy just finishes swearing absolute loyalty to his new master and he's already inviting his wife to join in overthrowing him. -------------------- ATTACK, MY OUTDATED LEGIONS!! - Nale (OotS #57) Posts: 1509 \| Registered: Tuesday, January 10 2006 08:00

Killing innocent people in Avernum 4
Dintiradan Guardian Member # 6670	written Thursday, January 18 2007 16:12 Profile Homepage #4 As far as I can recall, the only vital quest givers in the game other than the mage at Fort Avernum dwell in the Castle. Rone's involved in the same quest that Vidrain is. His assistant also gives out a series of major quests (they may not be vital to finishing the game, though). The two main NPCs in the Abyss can make your life a little easier, but it's still possible to finish the game if you kill both before you finish their quests. One more thing: don't kill trainers. I almost killed Starcap in Almaria. EDIT: See Thuryl's post below. -------------------- Stiff, unappealing.
