Author has written 5 stories for Misc. Games.

I probably should actually write something here, eh?

I'm a mom (not telling my age) who adores the Exile/Avernum games. Of all of them, my favorite is Exile 2. Game interface, I think Exile 3 is the best of the bunch. I really miss dual-wielding in the Avernum games (so many cool weapons, so few hands) and area-of-effect spells to help kill those nasty invisible guardians and black shades.

I wish to apologize to my readers for the long delay. I've just being going through a very rough patch, but I will finish the prequel story and move on to Geneforges and Avernum 4. Due to my feelings about Avernum 4, it may be written after I've tackled Geneforge 1-3. Geneforge 4 will not be written until the next game is out, due to the need to know which ending Geneforge 5 assumes.

Does anyone have an example of Ed's Emails to *i and can someone discribe his cracking attempts?

2. You'll have to be a little more forthcoming about reasons before *i starts handing over emails, I think. Doubly so for cracking attempts.

"More than a simple case of interest..." mh? You wish to use that crack yourself?

I have a friend who aquired "crack" abilities once and mis-used them, he still regrets it in our Xfire chats

2. I can demonstrate Ed's presumed "cracking" techniques ... just give me your login name and password.

Who is Boots and what are these BORK threads? Of all the things here they have been some of the most confusing.

I find it funny that people think my science degree (Astrophysics) is more practical than my humanities degree (Classical Languages). A B.A. in Astro is useless for a getting a job, except in that it's a B.A., which a B.A. in Classical Languages is, too. To get a job in astronomy, you really should have at least an M.A. or a Ph. D., and an M.A. or Ph. D. in Classics is just as good as one in Astro as far as job value.
