I'm sure I'll give it a good rating too, once I play some non-pre-packaged (having BoA kind of spoils the fun) scenarios with it. I'm pretty sure that the designers would give it a lower score than just the players, though. We'll see.

Not just the pre-made scenarios, but Blades of Exile as a whole. The engine, the potential, etc. (I think it's a bit early to make a thread about BoA yet, since there aren't that many scenarios, so I won't make one).

Conclusion: Wikipedia is useful.
It is very explicit and could offend some people. It just doesn't have the picture itself. Don't click this link if you are a poor fluffy kitten. Don't say I didn't warn you.

EDIT : Argh, I did double post now though. My apologies.

Eh? Nobody double-posted in this thread. My replies have either been to you (before you edited your post, which is confusing) or to yet another clone of Nathan Ashby about goatse.

Public enemys are offensive spammers. If he had "Public Enemy" in his moniker, it probably was best to ban him before any incidents.
No one gets banned for their moniker, unless perhaps it's something like "XXXPornMegs06". He had TM's e-mail address in his profile. I think it's either PublicEnemy who tried to come back or Terror's Martyr who tried to make a bad joke.

EDIT : To prove my point, I'd say that PublicEnemyN°1 wasn't banned until he posted goatse.

Public Enemy n°1 was a spammer who got banned for goatse (I think). I think TheFirstPublicEnemy might just have been Terror's Martyr in disguise, though.

EDIT : Rei (EDIT 2 : or Marlenny, whatever :cool: ), your comment was dumb and aggressive (no offense intended). I do not think of this thread as useless, unlike perhaps some of Ed's other threads.

I love being canned. It taught me how to no longer double post and do useless posts just to increase my post count.
But you've just done that... You did this on purpose, right? ;)

And I agree that Zephyr Tempest should be uncanned. I can't remember him doing anything wrong recently (and even way back then, I think he really wasn't that bad). Zephyr, maybe Drakefyre would uncan you if you made a good BoE/BoA scenario? Or a useful Spidweb-related website? :)

But posting games and spam on a plate need a Misc forum. Anyway, Misc is FUN.
General = Misc (sort of, sometimes).
RWG used to be pure spam.

What more do you need? You can post games in General. If they're really interesting, they won't get locked/deleted (Mountain of Shadows, Movie Trivia, etc.).

EDIT : Also, the fact that General allows Spidweb-related talk (unlike Misc) lowers the percentage of spam topics.

Misc got attacked by several Spammers Of Doom many times and thus got removed. General has pretty much become the new Miscellaneous since. I also wouldn't be surprised if this thread were to be locked and/or deleted. And I don't think Misc should be brought back, for the sake of the moderators' mental health.

I personally haven't finished playing it yet, but so far I've had a lot of fun experimenting with the different damage types, the creations, etc. I even managed to kill Diwaniya with a few vlish before leaving Harmony Island (I even tried to kill Lankan in his Augmented state, but I got roasted). I've also tried crafting which looks promising, and I think the plot is very interesting and much more original than the G2 plot.

That's good to know, Thuryl. Avernum 3 is my favorite Avernum demo, the A1 demo was a bit too hack&slash for me, and I found the A2 demo to be mind-blowingly difficult the last time I played it. I'm sure I would find it to be a lot easier now, though, as I've been practicing in Avernum games (mostly in Blades of Avernum) quite a bit since. :)

Whoa, and you've been canned too. Drakey must be in a really bad mood this week. (EDIT 2 : Nevermind, I've just noticed that Ed = The punisher = E.D.F, etc. My apologies, I'm still not quite used to that publicly displayed name thing)

Anyway, strictly speaking, I can't 'forgive you', because I never was really annoyed with you. I must have missed something, I guess. So, um, welcome to Spiderweb again, Ed; and peace, love, hugs, kisses, turtles, insanity, Imbans, and all that nonsense. :D

EDIT : Poit, I do care. I'm sure Ed didn't mean to annoy anyone, okay? Granted, starting yet another 'sorry' thread may not have been the best thing to do, but other members have done *much* worse.

Bad : The gameplay could be a bit more balanced at times, some puzzles are a bit too hard in my opinion, one of the areas becomes 'unclearable' if you destroy a power spiral, there are still a few bugs/things that were not implemented/things that are not completely logical.

Good : Pretty much everything else.

9.5

G2 - Original creation vs. level 3 creation in Geneforge Series

Member # 6821

Cryoa : definetely better than the fyora if you've got enough essence.

Roamer: usually far more useful than the pyroroamers.

Cryodrayk : one of my favorite creations ever. EDIT : Because 1) they're tough; 2) they're very powerful in melee, 3) their ranged attacks are very powerful as well, 4)they don't miss often.

Ur-Drakon : Because Ur-Drakons seem to be able to keep attacking for a very long time, also because being able to damage 5 enemies at the same time is cool. Plus, they're tough.

Thahd Shade : It's nice not to get hit too often, and they do a fairly nice amount of damage as well.

Plated Clawbug : Because speed is wonderful.

Battle Alpha : Because battle betas are not cost-effective enough in my opinion, although they can be useful at times.

Rotghroth : Rotdhizons are just too expensive, although I'll make one at times if I need a single very tough creation.

Artila : Searing Artilas are too expensive, and by the time I can really afford them I've usually got something better.Making a bunch of Searing Artilas is nice when you want to smother an enemy in acid, though.

Vlish : Because slowing is deadly.

Glaahk : If I speed up my glaahks, I usually don't need to use ur-Glaahks.

Eyebeast : Because of the deadly stun ability. Gazers do more damage to a single target, though.

EDIT : Removed extra space.

Apparently Jeff did say this, and Ash told him to lighten up. Jeff deleted the topic almost instantly after that, though, so almost no one read it.
Well, that sure explains most of the problem. Thanks, Kelandon :) . Jeff should have locked the thread instead of deleting it, though (in my opinion).
