The post in question: quote:I take back what I said about not offering any evidence. Granted, it wasn't much and it holds no water, but it was evidence nevertheless. I see no expression of hatred. He simply stated an opinion, backed it up with a fact, and invited discussion. In conclusion, FBM, please stuff it. Anyway, in response to that post, you were not born wearing clothes. Clothing is unnatural.

Well, it was closed for the flaming. Also, since you offered zero support for your argument, people assumed you were just trolling- another reason it was closed. They called you Alec because there is a member here by the name of Alec, and for some reason they thought it was him trying to start trouble. If this really is you, Alec, please engage in erotic acts with a blender. Preferably while it is turned on. If you lack a blender, an electrical outlet will do. -------------------- The Lyceum - The Headquarters of the Blades designing community The Louvre - The Blades of Avernum graphics database Alexandria - The Blades of Exile Scenario database BoE Webring - Self explanatory Polaris - Free porn here Odd Todd - Fun for the unemployed (and everyone else too) Famous Last Words - A local pop-punk band They Might Be Giants - Four websites for one of the greatest bands in existance -------------------- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Posts: 2957 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

Well, there's another way you could look at it. In one series, you notice that the cave is called Exile; in the other, Avernum. There are also other small details that changed, like the slime wizard's name. It could be possible to think of Avernum as a parallel universe of Exile, and then it's not so bad if he contradicts some of the established Exile/BoE plotline. Hopefully, though, he'll actually makes omething good that won't contradict the community. As a side note, I intend to create a couple different RPG engines (maybe other types too, like platformers) once I learn to program, that will come with extremely powerful, easy to use editors. If I release any more modules/scenarios after the initial one that comes with the program, I'll also try not to ignore the community's ideas. And I'll frequently upgrade and not be a jerk. Best of all, they may be free. But that last part is to be decided. Hopefully I'll get enough money to start a store/arcade that will support me financially. Of course, this is not going to happen for several years, so this is all useless info for now. -------------------- The Lyceum - The Headquarters of the Blades designing community The Louvre - The Blades of Avernum graphics database Alexandria - The Blades of Exile Scenario database BoE Webring - Self explanatory Polaris - Free porn here Odd Todd - Fun for the unemployed (and everyone else too) Famous Last Words - A local pop-punk band They Might Be Giants - Four websites for one of the greatest bands in existance -------------------- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Posts: 2957 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

*applauds FBM again* Pretty much hit the nail on the head. Also, in case you haven't noticed, we are being ruled by fascists. I don't want someone else's beliefs forced on me or anybody else.

*applauds FBM* I may not agree with everything you say, but I certainly agree that the system needs to be changed. I tried to start a message board where a new system would be planned, but nobody took it seriously. I thought it was because nobody cared. But as Djur so eloquently put it on Desperance, "That was because nobody wants to be in a revolution spearheaded by a prancing boner." Anyway, maybe eventually someone will take me seriously and things will change. By the way, every time I look at the title of this topic, I read it as "Europe-free car day". For one day a year, Europe disappears off the face of the earth, allowing the cars to freely plunge into the pit formed in the process.

Moderators are human too, you know. They don't get their positions for knowing everything about the game the forum is for. People are made moderators to enforce the rules of the message board fairly. Brett, I don't quite understand what you're saying. You mean that instead of having graphics arranged like XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX in separate sheets, they're arranged like XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX ? If that's the case, you can have more than one row of item graphics in a sheet, I believe. -------------------- My Myspace, with some of my audial and visual art The Lyceum - The Headquarters of the Blades designing community The Louvre - The Blades of Avernum graphics database Alexandria - The Blades of Exile Scenario database BoE Webring - Self explanatory Polaris - Free porn here Odd Todd - Fun for the unemployed (and everyone else too) They Might Be Giants - Four websites for one of the greatest bands in existance -------------------- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Posts: 2957 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

"ados is a standardized clinical instrument for the diagnosis of autism based on a structured interaction between a trained psychologist and the child" Which is funny, since I'm autistic. Asperger's syndrome. "ados is not fully compatible with the older operating system" I used to use an Apple IIe, actually. It had a game called Demon's Forge. Anyone know where I can find this ported to Windows? I really want to beat it. I won't be able to die happy knowing I've never beaten it. Not that I remember much of anything about it. "ados is very sparse" ...Should I take offense to that? "ados is still visible" I should hope so. "ados is currently so lengthy and cumbersome" BWAHAHAHAHA... uh... Lastly, "ados is the result of a collaboration between the scripps institute of oceanography and oregon state university" This disturbs me very much. Very, very much. I knew they were keeping something from me. And people get upset when they find out they were adopted.

It's easy. You click on the button that says "IM", then you type in the person's screen name where it says "To:", then you type in the message you want to send in the big text field. Then you click Send. Or if someone is on your buddy list, you can click on their name on the list and click IM, or double click their name, and you'll get the IM window with their name already entered. That's the basics.

quote:BCUZ!!!11!1!!11!one!11!! quote:Everyone else finds miles harder to understand. Why, you ask? Think about it. 10 milimeters = 1 centimeter 10 centimeters = 1 decimeter 10 decimeters = 1 meter 1000 meters = 1 kilometer Etc. Notice how it matches our base-10 number system. Now look at the system we use: 12 inches = 1 foot 3 feet = 1 yard 1760 yards = 1 mile Notice anything odd about that? Like the fact that it's completely random? Then there's the Fahrenheit system, as opposed to the Celsius and Kelvin systems. The Celsius, or Centigrade, system is based on a substance constantly used by humans - Water. 0 degrees is the freezing point of water, and 100 degrees is the boiling point. This is useful for everyday use. The Kelvin scale's 0 degrees is absolute zero, or no heat at all. There are no negative numbers in this system. While not terribly useful for an average person, it's incredibly useful for scientists. Then, there's Fahrenheit. This is what my Chemistry teacher told me last year, so I can't be sure it's true, but it seems pretty likely. A scientist decided he wanted to come up with a scale for temperature. So for 0 degrees, he got mercury in a tube at as low a temperature as he could in his laboratory and marked the tube. Then he needed a 100 degree mark. He couldn't find anything, until he looked out the window and saw a cow. In conclusion, the Fahrenheit scale is based on a completely random number and the temperature of a cow's anus. I really don't understand why we still use these systems. -------------------- The Lyceum - The Headquarters of the Blades designing community The Louvre - The Blades of Avernum graphics database Alexandria - The Blades of Exile Scenario database BoE Webring - Self explanatory Polaris - Free porn here Odd Todd - Fun for the unemployed (and everyone else too) Famous Last Words - A local pop-punk band They Might Be Giants - Four websites for one of the greatest bands in existance -------------------- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Posts: 2957 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |
