1. Golden Rule, we all know what it is.
2. Try to stay open minded.
3. It has been said that there are no stupid questions, only stupid people. This is not true. There are no stupid people. They simply see things from a different perspective. In their mind, what they believe is right. In your mind, what you believe is right. If you believe you are right, tell those you think you are wrong what you think is right. If they don't believe you, it's really not your problem.
My uncle told me that third one. Not in those exact words, but something along those lines. He also threw in some swears and a bit of Italian, I believe.

Once again, give up. There have been many, many topics about Avernum 4. As I said, it won't work. Give up. Go design a BoE scenario or something.

There is not going to be an Avernum 4. Seriously, I think there should be a message on top of the forum saying "There will not be an Avernum 4. Nothing you post here will make Jeff Vogel change his mind. It will not happen. Don't bother asking." Or something along those lines.

Relating to Churl's post: Hey you mentioned Carmack! That suprised me for some reason... most people here aren't really gamers... they're just casual players of Spiderweb games. But yea... that's off topic.

As far as doing the stuff on your list, besides what Drakey's said (which is correct), you should search for the newerly (if thats a word) released scenarios. I remember a BOE topic not too long ago about questions for jokes to be put in a scenario. Meaning, of course, that if that scenario was finished, it did give a chance for the player (i think) to give a night of stand up. Comedy that is...

Correct me if I'm wrong... I usually am about BOE these days. I don't hang around the BOE forum part so don't expect this all to be right.

No. It was a five-star restaurant, with a stage where stand-up comedians, musicians, etc performed. It was going to be in my scenario.
Needless to say, I couldn't figure out how to make it work. It seemed okay at first, until I noticed about 5000 problems with it. Oh well.

On a side note, Motrax did not set the record for most consecutive posts. I believe someone who had just joined the boards, and posted a topic. Then, not recieving a reply, posted "Hello?" Then he posted "Is anyone there?" Then he posted "!!!!??!?!" This continued for eleven posts, if I remember correctly.

Linear scenarios like Of Good And Evil, Nephil's Gambit, and even Tatterdemalion all have a plot that branches off and can be changed based on the actions of the players. It makes games much more enjoyable, even though straight linear scenarios like Chains and An Apology are excellent as well.
Tatterdemalion is open-ended, actually. There's the three dungeons in Triane which can be done in any order, to the best of my knowledge, then there's the desert and the swamp, both of which have many side quests. I liked the snake cult out in the desert, actually. Don't ask why.

And I talked to Motrax. I had nothing to do with it. I feel better now.
EDIT: Whoops. Two pages...
I agree with Alorael. The punishment system is rather unbalanced. Scorpius would have gotten away with the Misc. banner thing if the Polaris conspiracy hadn't e-mailed Linda. (Scorpius is still holding a grudge against me, by the way.)

Actually, now that I think about it...
I think it may have partially been my fault. Shortly after my short return to Polaris to join a conspiracy and finding none, I sent an IM to Motrax, asking if there were any conspiracies to join. He said something about a one-man conspiracy that was both non-existant and a weather balloon at the same time. Then he said there were none. So I thought of one:
Overthrow the American government.
I wasn't actually serious about it. I just wanted to plot. I never read most of the political debates, so I was unaware of Motrax's loyalty to the current government. We were rather friendly, so it may have caused him to snap when I brought up the conspiracy idea.
Sorry, everyone...

Not temporarily banned, permanently banned. At least, that's what I've inferred from TM and RoR's bannings, which have a set date for their unbanning in their titles.
Read the United States Conflict Avatars topic and you'll see what happened. The old one, not the one with (Cont.) in the title.

Do these "atmospherical effects" involve sex/pornography? I may have been misinterpreting, but that's what I've picked up from some of your earlier posts about the subject. If so, read some reviews for "Promise Island" and you'll see that doesn't go over very well in most cases.
If that isn't what you meant, then forget I said anything.

BOE->BOA Translating in Blades of Avernum
Shaper

Actually, it has been suggested many times before that a BoE wall could be simulated in BoA with a square of walls, surrounding the terrain tile the wall is supposed to be on.
As for spells, that also poses a problem. There are nodes in BoE that give spells, and many of these spells are not in BoA. This could easily render entire sidequests completely useless to the player, if the reward is a few spells that don't exist.

part led me to believe you were calling Dagorhir participants fat, obsessive geeks. I don't believe there were any knights during the civil war.
Sorry for jumping on your back, there. Let's just let bygones be bygones, okay?

Anyway, as for the original topic...

Dagorhir is an organization that does Dark Ages battle reenactments. Well, they don't just reenact. They make weapons and armor and have big battles, and maybe have a feast afterwards. It's very safe, as long as you follow the rules. There's very specific guidelines as to which weapons are and aren't allowed. For instance, the "blade" of a sword cannot be less than 2 inches wide, or something like that. Here's the website:
Dagorhir Battle Games
I guess I didn't explain it too well, but the website does a good job. It also has links to pages explaining step-by-step how to make weapons, armor, etc.
I just thought some of the people here might find it interesting. It's certainly an improvement over what my cousins and I do- whacking each other with splintering fenceposts carved into the shape of a sword- so I thought it was great. I'm going to try to start my own Dagorhir chapter in Revere, since the closest one is in Northampton, on the other side of the state.

I think he means creatures like the Fetid Zombie, which, when captured in a Soul Crystal, becomes a normal Zombie.
This really doesn't matter, as Capture Soul and Simulacrum will not be in BoA.
