No. I truly believe that squirrels are the hell-born spawn of Satan made manifest in this world. The sig was just something topic-related from a webcomic.

Wow. EndeavourBot is made manifest. By Diki: quote:I'm not that good at hacking. 'Sides, that would be black hatting. Or at least very, very grey. But yes, this is spam, and so I must protest. -------------------- Scene: A cafe. One table is occupied by a group of Vikings with horned helmets on. A man and his wife enter. Man (Eric Idle): You sit here, dear. Wife (Graham Chapman in drag): All right. Man (to Waitress): Morning! Waitress (Terry Jones, in drag as a bit of a rat-bag): Morning! Man: Well, what've you got? Waitress: Well, there's egg and bacon; egg sausage and bacon; egg and spam; egg bacon and spam; egg bacon sausage and spam; spam bacon sausage and spam; spam egg spam spam bacon and spam; spam sausage spam spam bacon spam tomato and spam; Vikings (starting to chant): Spam spam spam spam... Waitress: ...spam spam spam egg and spam; spam spam spam spam spam spam baked beans spam spam spam... Vikings (singing): Spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Waitress: ...or Lobster Thermidor a Crevette with a mornay sauce served in a Provencale manner with shallots and aubergines garnished with truffle pate, brandy and with a fried egg on top and spam. Wife: Have you got anything without spam? Waitress: Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it. Wife: I don't want ANY spam! Man: Why can't she have egg bacon spam and sausage? Wife: THAT'S got spam in it! Man: Hasn't got as much spam in it as spam egg sausage and spam, has it? Vikings: Spam spam spam spam (crescendo through next few lines) Wife: Could you do the egg bacon spam and sausage without the spam then? Waitress: Urgghh! Wife: What do you mean 'Urgghh'? I don't like spam! Vikings: Lovely spam! Wonderful spam!) Waitress: Shut up! Vikings: Lovely spam! Wonderful spam! Waitress: Shut up! (Vikings stop) Bloody Vikings! You can't have egg bacon spam and sausage without the spam. Wife (shrieks): I don't like spam! Man: Sshh, dear, don't cause a fuss. I'll have your spam. I love it. I'm having spam spam spam spam spam spam spam baked beans spam spam spam and spam! Vikings (singing): Spam spam spam spam. Lovely spam! Wonderful spam! Waitress: Shut up!! Baked beans are off. Man: Well could I have her spam instead of the baked beans then? Waitress: You mean spam spam spam spam spam spam...

Really, what distiguishes WoW from, say, RuneScape? Better graphics, a better game system perhaps. That, and you have to pay for it. Other than that, there's not much difference. The two things that really irk me with MMORPGs is that they are inherently static and that no one plays in character. Sometimes, I wonder what it would be like to have a sort of Turing test for MMORPGs: see if you can guess who are the NPCs and who are the PCs. Sometimes, I wonder what it would be like to have a massive program creating a dynamic world. No more 'somebody at the company scripts an event and each PC in the world does the quest several times'. Then I wake up. -------------------- If you were to go back in history and take every president, you'll find that the numerical value of each letter in their name was equally divisible into the year in which they were elected. By my calculations, our next president has to be named Yellnick McWawa. - Cliff Clavin (Cheers) Posts: 1509 | Registered: Tuesday, January 10 2006 08:00 |

Or it just means I have to stop posting from the CompSci Windows labs and do more posting at home (Uncle John's Bathroom Reader), the generic University labs (Larry Wall Usenet quotes), and the CompSci UNIX labs (make 'em up). I'm going to have to find something soon... I can't always be original with my signature; I'd be indistiguishable from Alorael! I guess I could always go back to movie quotes, or find some time to do more DikiStats. -------------------- You want it in one line?

No idea, but the messages remind me of an infinite loop I got the game into when I tried to modify a .sav file. What OS are you using? Troubleshooting for graphics depends on that. -------------------- Randal said it would be tough to do in sed. He didn't say he didn't understand sed. Randal understands sed quite well. Which is why he uses Perl. - Larry Wall Posts: 1509 | Registered: Tuesday, January 10 2006 08:00 |

I'm for just BANNED, actually. We don't want custom titles for banned people to be a novelty. Besides, multiple banning titles makes EndeavourBot cry; I want to see one heading with the complete total of all those who have incured the wrath of the Management. -------------------- IF I EVER BECOME AN EVIL OVERLORD: If the hero claims he wishes to confess in public or to me personally, I will remind him that a notarized deposition will serve just as well.

Yep, sure can. Of course, the villain can keep the PCs alive even if it doesn't make sense, because it's possible for the villain to not be completely rational. For instance, the villain could be a sadist or driven by revenge, wanting to inflict pain on the PCs for all the wrenches they threw into his/her/its plans. Or maybe the villain is an ideologue, and is compelled to lecture the PCs on their foolish ways. Perhaps the villain is the established authority in the region, and the PCs are awaiting their 'trial'. Of course, there's always the torture for information, which works well if the PCs are working for somebody. Hey, if the PCs are low-level, they could be no more than hostages. Foreshadowing: it's good, but in a small scenario, there's a fine line between not noticable and blatantly obvious (I'll tell you where it is when I find it). However, naming your .bas file 'foreshadowing' is not a good idea. (EM, anyone?) -------------------- A Freudian slip is when you say one thing when you're really thinking about a mother. - Cliff Clavin (Cheers) Posts: 1509 | Registered: Tuesday, January 10 2006 08:00 |
