Don't! They are innocent. So if you stop the war before they grow up, they can be nice good slaves :) I think I didn't kill them, though. Definitely. Just take the book and get out of there! P.S. That was 100th.

I only know many sport games by EA. That makes sense, when you transfer your team from one trace/field/country to another, changing the game. Not suitable for RPG though. Simply because the time, when the events take place in A1-A2-A3-A4 are separated by quite a long period so you can't have one team, capable to fight both in A1 and in A4. May be only mages. I don't know how much time shall pass from A4 to A5. But we are talking for common case, so apparently it will be again 10-20 years, or even more, which I prefer. I didn't quite get what you mean by "random monster fights" in any form. I thought that you encounter rather random monsters, so the fights usually differ. And if you mean refighting in the same cave until monsters stop respawing (a small local plague in every cave), I think I should vote for that. That will be interesting. It was pretty a tedium to wander in A1-A3 after you've killed all the monsters available. :) P.S. Hey, that was 99-th for me. My first century of posts. Hope not all was spam.

I've graduated high school (a least its analog in Russia) in 96'th but still I remember the feeling that something both great and annoying in my life is over.

What did you do last night? Finally watched Da Vinci Code. Sux. The last thing you downloaded onto your computer? I thought it was some music. My e-mail client argued it was some letter. But antivirus called both of them spyware... Have you ever licked a 9 volt battery? Yes! Being a child. And 12V, too. And phone wire (12V), too. And being a grown-up system administrator without a tester I had to lick that again to be sure it works. Never licked a connected USB, they say it bites. :) Type of music you dislike most? Any music, where solo is something like rattle, squelch and so on, pretending to be a good singer Are you registered to vote? For quite a period. Better question is am I using it? Ever made a prank phone call? Again, in childhood for some friends, police and fire. Do I regret? It was necessary to grow up! Would you go bungee jumping or sky diving? No. I'm not afraid, but no. Furthest place you ever traveled? Connecticut. What's your favorite comic strip? Candy Candy Best movie you've seen in the past month? I'm not sure it is the best. But among the others I've seen - Wedding Crushers with Owen Wilson. Favorite chocolate bar? Rossija: Sudarushka. I'm not sure how to translate that. Have you ever won a trophy? I did. I wish to win an artefact, but this is real life. So, just a trophy. Favorite arcade game? Arcanoid. Ever thrown up in public? Nope. I always fought to the end. Would you prefer being a millionaire or finding true love? My, can a true love be a millionaire? I take it, wrap two. Seriously I prefer to get the money. True love I've found already. If you had to spend a romantic evening with any sw member, who would you pick? That's a secret even for me. Do I know any? Do you believe in love at first sight? Not here to answer. Who do you think about most? Once I've read that a male between 20 and 35 every 12th second thinks of sex. Still, I never counted that down. Which celebrity do you think is hot, both female and male? Charlize Theron and Sean Pertwee. What's the worst medical problem you've ever had? I'm still alive. Means I don't want to say something about "ever had". What's your favorite sitcom? I don't think its name shall tell anything. But "My Fair Nanny" is good, too. Hottest sw male Hard to tell for a newbie. Last computer/video game you played New York Racer at home. Arcanoid at work. :) Last movie you rented I don't rent usually. The last time was too long ago. Would you rather dump someone or be dumped? I prefer to have the laugh of smb. in a friendly way. Which sw member has the dirtiest mind? No idea. Have you ever kissed someone and regretted it? No. Never. And I won't while I'm conscious -------------------- 9 masks sing in a choir: Gnome Dwarf Slith Giant Troll Troglo Human Nephil Vahnatai "If the mask under mask to SE of mask to the left of mask and to the right of me is the mask below the mask to the right of mask to the right of mask below me is the same, then who am I?" radix: +2 nicothodes: +1 salmon:+1 Posts: 203 | Registered: Tuesday, March 14 2006 08:00 |

quote:Why does there have to be an intelligence behind every catastrophe? How can you possibly say that there's no point to preventing natural disasters? [/quote]Yes there is. As I wrote above, and seems you've missed it. A small one can be prevented by evacuation (or magically stopping a quake). Planetary cataclism on Ermarian is harder to prevent, I think. Still some pages earlier I seemed to make a proposal for a plot which will prevent a war/or any other "unnatural" disaster. Concretely prevent. A party will have to undertake some number of quests: diplomacy, assasination, stealing,... oh, whatever, that's adventuring. And the cataclism won't breakthrough. quote:Agreed. It won't.

On a second thought, quakes may be the signals to some planet catastrophe, so when you find that out your quest is to undertake all the steps to arrange the emigration to... well, theró are no spaceships yet, are there? :( So, we need to have a bad guy or an evil overlord, so that after studying the todo list of him we should find a weak spot and save the planet.

Let's look the truth into the eyes. After WWII there were two supercountries having a tough opposition. And the interest of the one over the ocean in "buffer zone" was the same if not bigger then of another. SU gained acces to Cuba, having a good place to place its S200. US replied with bases in Europe. Nowadays Russia has lost a little gaining a buffer zone because of NATO presence. I don't want to go into political polemics.
