That's ok. Let's think that DHL managed to bring a message from your friend from Alpha Centauri in 4 days. :P
Back to offtopic: I definitely got deaf to the voices (or blind to the thread), but why Salmon started talking about the movies? :)

Q: What is the best weapon for an adventurer in Avernum?
A: Character Editor. :)

Edit: Personally, I don't think CE is acceptable as a solution in this case. Clever man can find the way out of any situation. Wise man won't even stuck into any "situation".

That's weird. Because I'm pretty sure they did run. The question is do they run in Exile 2 and 3, since I remember for sure only the Escape from the Pit for that option. When you fight some brigands with evil priests e.g., when all Archers,Melee fighters are dead it is 100% the priest is moving to the far-from-your-party end to leave. And he does so unless you catch up with him and kill him.

Eventually the retreat is a good option for any fight, which shows some sort of intellect for your enemies. I didn't see fighting engine for A4, is there a possibility to hide beyond an obstackle (not a wall, but a stone for example), aka sit down move?
I would like to see Rentar retreat in final fight in A3, making another possible storyline for A4 :c)))

Wow, that is good memory. (At least compared to me.)

Such events use to stamp the memory block with the exact date and never be forgotten. Once on a trip we caught the rain early in the morning when just woke up. Thought we should wait it over. Later, when the rain didn't stop, only got heavier, we thought we should still wait till it stops. It was a mistake. That year rain didn't stop for two weeks. I still remember the feeling when you have to pack the camp and walk all the way home wet to the last spot on the body.

Actually, I added word "creationist" at the last moment. The first variant in the post was
"Also may be we should discuss a possibility of evolutionist theory for Ermarian-Avernum?". I added "creationist" to make me clear that I'm not going to defend only the evolutionism for Ermarian.

Was it only in Exile series, when during an encouter your enemies started to flee when heavily outnumbered? I can't remember such thing in Avernum series except for casting terror. I think I miss the feeling of chasing the prey from Exile.

If I only knew how enlightened in ways different from SpiderWeb I'd become here. :)
I've read all the posts, found countless material about Creationism theory and TED (Theory of Evolution by Darvin). I even read all math calculations of Real Message in the Sky (pdf 84Kb inside). Nice, but those men just dream too much, I think.
After asking some of my good friends, who put their lives on altar of biology (I did so only for maths) about the advantages of both theories, I got the main idea. Firstly, the world of science since 1963 is struggling hard to prevent Creationism from being called a scientific theory. That is understandable, nobody wants to lose their job :) . But the main problem is that creationists from the very start just can not believe that our lives appeared by chance, when from life's point of view something "random" came out properly "ordered". And evolutionists can not explain "why not?". :)
I am not sure if I want to give my voice here to any theory. Too many facts were already discussed here and not only here. It would be interesting to make a poll with a question like "What theory do you agree with?" and answers: TED, Creationism, Other (s.a. my own), What is that?
Also may be we should discuss a possibility of evolutionist and creationist theory for Ermarian-Avernum?

Actually a few years ago Denamrk considered the old pagan religion based upon Norse mythos to be allowed along side mainstream religions. So this is a legitamate religion at least there.

That is a pleasure to hear. And I think the freedom of religion allows anybody follow any religion he wants. A pity pagan religions are being forgot about. Like the one of slavic or slavonic

Njerd is one of Aces, who is the master of sailors and fishermen. Don't forget about him, too. Odin is the patron of wisdom and master of Valhalla. It is a good move to name a boat after him. But again, don't forget to comply Njerd as well.

Anyway it is 5:7 count. Not 6:7, right?
Russia is on Euarasian "political" and on two: Europe and Asia "traditional" continents.

You know, if you mocked a religion like Judaism or Christianity that way, here, you'd be attacked by many and maybe even warned. I don't appreciate anybody's religion being mocked, and that includes people who aren't here.
It's just jerkish.

So, if my religion is Jedi, I should be offended by your mentioning Darth Vader? Like if you mentioned Satan for Christian? I think you should take my statement a bit more easy, shouldn't ya? Speaking about ways to insult somebody, you never know what can be an insult for your opponent. So please, stop saying insults my way. Pretty please? And for you to know, I find saying "jerkish" to anyone is offending.
And, more to say, scandinavian mythology along with slavonic are my beloved topics in history of formation of my nation. So, mentioning Odin, Loki, Thor, Valkiria, Jarilo, Perun and any other deity from my nation's history I find most fittable here in this theme. As for you, I'm sure, you just don't understand what you were talking about when saying I mocked someone's religion, someone who is not here. I AM HERE and I'm not insulted by me mentioning my religion. Fair enough?
Sorry would be nice, by the way.

P.S. Since my parents live in Israel, for some time I am rather familiar to Judaism. I find many interesting things in it along with some absurd for me. But I'll never post something here if I am not sure I know what I'm talking about.

Edit: There is a Jedi religion nowadays.

I'm greately sorry for intercepting such an interesting scientific discussion. But I really wonder if anyone studied geography ever. Where did you find 6 (or even 7!!!) continents? Ever heard of "parts of the world"? By geographical definition there were and are (and I hope will be, otherwise we'll have a really big cataclism) 5 [five] continents. America, Eurasia, Africa, Australia&Oceania and Antarctica. However, there are 7 [seven] parts of the world: Eurasia divided into 2 Europe and Asia and America divided into two: Northern and Southern.
To think that Jamaica is a part of Northern America is the same as to thing Egypt and Zimbabwe are the part of Great Britain.
Anyway, I think everybody understood what this poll was asking for? Big Brother is going to stalk us, no matter where we live :P

Did you talk to Bon-Ihrno in Avit? He should have told you about ritual of welcoming. Then you are supposed to pass through three tests. If you've done the tests, may be it is the ritual that is missing. I wonder if it is possible to start the tests without Ritual of Welcoming, making you familiar with Vahnatai language.

After reading posts about thermodynamics, religion and proof of existence I somehow remembered this good old story where students were told to prove whether hell is a isobaric or isochoric system. Only one student got the highest point for his "proof". He wrote:
"Since there is more than one religion, that means that all who dies goes to hell. While the size of it is considered to be constant and density is growing that means that pressure grows as well. The temperature af hell is also considered to be constant. That means that hell is isochoric system. But taking as axiom that my girlfriend once told me that hell will freeze before she sleeps with me plus taking as a fact the events of last night, I can tell that most probably hell has already frozen, so it is more like an isobaric system. Anyway, if it is frozen, it is no more functional so everybody will come to God. That was proved by my girlfriend last night, when she repeated many times 'Oh, God!'. Conclusion: 1. At first hell was isochoric, then it became isobaric. 2. Hell exists no more. 3. We all go to heaven."

P.S. I hope I didn't break the CoC here. :)

Has anybody read the information from the link I gave about the 12th Imam. I couldn't figure out whether Mislims think of Jesus as on just another prophet, or as of son of God?
/*
Sunni reference: Sunan Ibn Majah, V2, Tradition #4085. As we see Imam Mahdi is from the Ahlul Bayt of Prophet Muhammad, so he can not be Jesus (the Messiah; al-Maseeh).
*/
Here he is called a messiah (the annointed one).
/*
Do you agree that Prophet Jesus (AS) is still alive? He is in fact 1,994 years old now. Of course, he is not living on Earth right now; he is living in the Heavens. But according to Muslim's belief, he will come back to Earth, and will pray behind Imam al-Mahdi (AS).
*/
And here he is called a prophet. Does the title of messiah mean he is considered to be a son of God? And what means "to pray behind"? Behind the area of influence or behind his back? :confused:

Edit: why do I always start a new page? :confused:
