"Amarfrra, Sarah, Michael, 11 ogres, 2 ogre mages, and a cave giant pretending to be an ogre." In ASR, the Sniper's Guild (a 4 PC party consisting of the above names plus Frrmrrr, a thrown missile glass cannon nephil) went to bat with the Ogres in the mountainside (the one where boulders are rolled). I thought the party was ready, but the slow wave that hits before the fight begins was too much. Two lightning sprays brought down Amarfrra and Sarah (fighter and mage), and the other two were knocked down to 0 health. Frrmrrr then leveled one ogre mage, and dealt an incredible blow to the other. Michael dealt a finishing blow, but the damage was done; next round, an ogre javelin brought down the priest, and the entire attack force moved on poor Frrmrrr. An ogre flung a javelin at Frrmrrr... and missed. Another took a shot, and also missed. The cave giant ogre thingy took two shots, and missed them both. This went on, with every single remaining ogre missing on their attack, while Frrmrrr steadily picked them off, one by one. 30 rounds later, the ogres were history. The moral: just because pwnage is ensuing on one side doesn't mean the tides can't turn, be it for the better or for the utterly ridiculous. -------------------- Hz'ii'zt a'iiencf coxnen a'bn'z'p pahuen yzpa'zuhb be'tt'phukh'kn az'ii'ova mxn't bhcizvi'fl?

Well, except for a couple incidents like the one just above, he's never really broken with his previous character. In fact, while this new turn in his 'personality' (assuming it isn't trolling) is surprising, it doesn't conflict with what he's already shown via the Geneforge debates. He's keeping to his mannerisms, right down to the way he nitpicks on insignificant details to find a technicality or asserts his arguments. The only change of note, really, is that he's gotten more aggressive. But then again, so have a lot of people recently. Upon further thought, I will say that there was a marked change between 'Shapers of Rebels' debate and the one that preceded it. Namely, in the later one, he seemed to be a bit more fanatical (also, he didn't strike me as the type to troll). So I suppose that, between those two debates, it's entirely possible that someone else started using the account. I highly doubt it, though. Here's hoping, though, that this mess ends soon. One way or another. [ Friday, March 14, 2008 23:07: Message edited by: Nioca ] -------------------- Hz'ii'zt a'iiencf coxnen a'bn'z'p pahuen yzpa'zuhb be'tt'phukh'kn az'ii'ova mxn't bhcizvi'fl?

(I never thought I'd say this, but I suppose there's a first time for everything...) Thank you, Lepus. That sort of reply is exactly what was needed to further demonstrate my point. Ya know, if I didn't know better, I'd say that we might not even be looking at the actual LT, but someone who's taking his account for a joyride. -------------------- Hz'ii'zt a'iiencf coxnen a'bn'z'p pahuen yzpa'zuhb be'tt'phukh'kn az'ii'ova mxn't bhcizvi'fl?

quote:Well, you portray him well as the innocent little angel. Here's a recap based a little more in reality. quote: quote: quote: quote:Neither side in this is innocent, but whatever crap is getting flung LT's way is being brought on by none other than himself. Have several members of the community, even myself, perhaps gone a bit too far in voicing their distaste of LT and his comments? Yes. Did LT take the first step across that line of decency, resulting in this mess to begin with? And did he then continue making prejudicial comments, insulting other members and regularly flaunting his capability to violate the CoC as well? Also yes. Even if those words aren't sincere, and this is just trolling, they still carry the same exact impact, and I, personally, believe they should be dealt with as such. And if those really are his opinions, he should take them elsewhere, because this isn't the place for them. -------------------- Hz'ii'zt a'iiencf coxnen a'bn'z'p pahuen yzpa'zuhb be'tt'phukh'kn az'ii'ova mxn't bhcizvi'fl?

Ooh! I know! Because you're either: A) A very stupid troll, or B) A bigoted, loathsome excuse for a human being! Either way, I hope you get banned soon, because this is getting downright ridiculous.

I've been having a heck of a time doing much of anything on here recently. Every time I do something even as simple as try to read a topic, I, 8 times out of 10, end up either running up against a 500 Internal Server Error or a blank page. I noticed that there was an unusual number of ISEs yesterday as well. Are we due for another purge? Is UBB just giving out? Or am I the only one experiencing this? :confused: [ Thursday, March 13, 2008 10:31: Message edited by: Nioca ] -------------------- Hz'ii'zt a'iiencf coxnen a'bn'z'p pahuen yzpa'zuhb be'tt'phukh'kn az'ii'ova mxn't bhcizvi'fl?

Nikki, go ahead. Excalibur, the general topics between Amarfrra and Amadis (besides "Wasn't one of your spies already here?" :P ) will be Skribbane shipments and, of course, a possible alliance. Sanctuary wants to claim Lorelei as their own oh so very much, and Sanctuary isn't above looking the other way (to a certain extent). -------------------- Hz'ii'zt a'iiencf coxnen a'bn'z'p pahuen yzpa'zuhb be'tt'phukh'kn az'ii'ova mxn't bhcizvi'fl?

DELLSTON Sarah sighed, watching the horizon of mountains to the south. Three groups of men had departed Dellston. The smaller of the two had headed northwest, to Bengaro. The larger and more heavily armed group, consisting of a greater concentration of war priests and seasoned fighters, headed south to Littleton. The final group, consisting of a Wraith and a few scouts, headed toward Appleton and Gale. Each group had a horseman who would act as a messenger to Sanctuary. She didn't expect to receive word from the scouting party for quite some time, but she still felt anxious about the other two groups. Then a cry went out; a horseman was riding in from the north, bearing the Sanctuary standard. The messenger soon arrived in Dellston, and informed Sarah that Bengaro offered no resistance; Sanctuary had brought it under their control. Four additional hours passed, though, before the messenger from Littleton had arrived. Whereas Bengaro had been taken easily, what remained of the Looters had been waiting in Littleton en masse, prepared to make a final stand against Sanctuary's ever-continuing expansion. Sanctuary lost almost a quarter of their men in the ensuing battle. It wasn't for naught, though; Littleton was taken, and the Looters were vanquished. LORELEI Ferrrald excitedly led Amarfrra to the glove shop while Shamgar tailed behind rather sullenly. Soon, the glove shop was in sight. Ferrrald and Shamgar strided boldly into the glove shop, but Amarfrra hesitated. He made a quick check of his surroundings for escape routes and potential ambushes, then made sure that his throwing knives were still easily accessible. Satisfied that he was ready for any misfortune that might come his way, he entered the shop. -------------------- Hz'ii'zt a'iiencf coxnen a'bn'z'p pahuen yzpa'zuhb be'tt'phukh'kn az'ii'ova mxn't bhcizvi'fl?

Till the advent of page 7, it was a debate. They happen occasionally, sometimes get heated, but are generally nothing to worry about (unless you're a participant). Heck, you might even learn something.

Alright, I've been doing some light experimentation with the C/C++ language. I was curious as to whether C/C++ works on both Windows and Macintosh, or whether it's strictly a Windows language. Also, does anyone know where I can find a reference guide to the windows.h header file? Or just where to find the windows.h header file? -------------------- Hz'ii'zt a'iiencf coxnen a'bn'z'p pahuen yzpa'zuhb be'tt'phukh'kn az'ii'ova mxn't bhcizvi'fl?

quote:You're forgetting that, by the time that comes around, the Drakons are clearly strong enough that they're combined power is second only to Shapers. When the Shapers topple, the Drakons take the place of the strongest super-power by a lot. In the GF4 Rebel and Shaper endings, it made it clear that there are far more Drakons in the Northforge area than we are initially made aware of. With both Geneforges down for the count, the supply of Lifecrafters is effectively cut down. The Gazers/Eyebeasts are exceedingly rare, and the Rebel army is already on the brink of destruction. The only force left that might oppose them with any success is the Drayks, but even they are outmatched, especially when the unbound come into the picture. With the Unbound at their side, the Drakons are effectively unstoppable. And when they take control, that power will only be solidified even more. -------------------- Hz'ii'zt a'iiencf coxnen a'bn'z'p pahuen yzpa'zuhb be'tt'phukh'kn az'ii'ova mxn't bhcizvi'fl?

As for me, I'm careful not to push my luck with the Administration, especially after having been warned by them. quote:*stares, dumbfounded, then breaks into raucous laughter* ...are you kidding me?! Your entire debate has practically been how Shapers are evil, heartless Nazis and how the Rebels are saintly heroes forced to do evil by the bad guys, repeated over and over and over, despite evidence and good sense to the contrary, with a side of how Outsiders are the equivalent of Nazi supporters. Then you claim that you don't repeat the same assertions constantly, even when soundly refuted? Ha! And I thought the Rebels were hypocrites! :D FYI, regarding your little jab at me, you simply disagreeing with me does not make the argument 'soundly refuted', no matter how much you say otherwise. At best, it makes it contested. -------------------- Hz'ii'zt a'iiencf coxnen a'bn'z'p pahuen yzpa'zuhb be'tt'phukh'kn az'ii'ova mxn't bhcizvi'fl?

quote:Except they're targeting the Shapers simply because they are Shapers, not because they're enemies. Before, a Shaper could join the Rebellion. Then the Drakons took over; aside from Greta and Litalia, who were already a part of the Rebellion, how many Shapers have you seen in the Rebellion since? And don't tell me that it's just Shaper mindset, because Master Hoge, a rather high-ranking Shaper who should be all for Shaper propaganda, also joined the Rebellion in GF3. quote:The Awakened were killed off in official canon for the end of GF2.

quote:Yeah. When the Unbound are unleashed. Thing is, the Unbound wouldn't exist without the Drakons, and without the Unbound, the Human rebel army would still have been trapped. It was made very clear that the Rebellion in the south was about to end in a particularly bloody way. quote:So, in short, the Humans, Serviles, and Drayks continued taking losses while the Drakons sat back, pouted, and let people die for them. Perhaps I wouldn't think so little of them if they actually fought to the bitter end. Instead, they retire to their citadel, throw away the other part of the resistance, and emulate the Shapers. quote:Ha! Even if such a coup was attempted before the Drakons became established, I doubt it'd be any easier than overthrowing the Shapers. Unlike the Shapers, the Drakons have a physical advantage and very little self-control. If anything, it'd be harder to do, simply because the oppressors are that much tougher to kill, and possess even more firepower than their predecessors. -------------------- Hz'ii'zt a'iiencf coxnen a'bn'z'p pahuen yzpa'zuhb be'tt'phukh'kn az'ii'ova mxn't bhcizvi'fl?

quote:First off, don't call me a coward. I may be many things, but a coward isn't one of them. Second, I'm not going to fight for a Rebellion that's simply going to become the exact same regime with a new overlord. If the Rebellion was going to actually change something (aside from world population), if I was in their position, I'd probably fight and die for it. But the Drakons are merely a new version of Shapers, and I'm not going to stick my neck out for monsters who are emulating, no strike that, becoming worse than the Shapers. I'm all for the fighting and dying, but I'm not for being an accomplice of building a new, potentially tougher to overthrow Shaper regime. The Awakened have the right idea; fight for what you believe in, stick to your morals, and, if necessary, die with the honor of knowing you haven't become a monster yourself. Goldenking: While I respect and agree with your ideas on the difference between the Human and Drakon sides of the Rebellion, it's effectively moot; the Human side has been all but wiped out, and the Drakon side is pretty much all that's left of the Rebellion. Without the Drakons, there's no Rebellion. Which is sad, since they decided to leave the rest of the Rebellion out to rot.
