Been hitting the quantum laxative a little hard? I have no problem about most of what transpired, but there is one thing I disagree with. A month?! That's pushing timetables a little too fast, don't you think? Unless you have any objections (and probably even if you do), I'm not making the month that passed in your IC canon just yet. Know that I'm not snubbing you, but I prefer time to pass at a fairly stable rate. Thus, my next IC will probably start shortly after the refugees arrived. Also, I'm a little concerned about the amount of power you're gaining and bringing to bear here. A massive army of goblins? An alliance with a dragon? Assaulting five cities simultaneously? To be blunt, I'm a little skeptical of this. -------------------- 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 wouldn't expect a reply tonight, Goldenking. Nikki works on either GMT or GMT +01:00.

*bump to first page again* For the sake of making a post with substance, rather than just a bump, I'll post the changes to my summary with the most recent edit. Population, Military Strength, Relations with other Factions, Characters, and Sphere of Influence have all been updated to reflect recent events. Relations with other Factions now lists by how important the faction is to Sanctuary. Celsy Sarrin added to character list and marked as important, Dewiss and Wraith Allison no longer marked as important (though with their current locations, I'd be highly surprised if a faction actually went out of their way to gat either one of them). The IC summary has had three more entries added. -------------------- Hz'ii'zt a'iiencf coxnen a'bn'z'p pahuen yzpa'zuhb be'tt'phukh'kn az'ii'ova mxn't bhcizvi'fl?

Um, yeah, it's not just on the front page it's doing that. It's doing it on the Scenario pages (see AGB's entry for a particularly nasty example), on the scripts pages, and on the Graphics pages. Yikes. The latter two (scripts & graphics) aren't that bad a problem, but on a scenario node, it'll compress and shove text aside. With a small avatar, this is a mere annoyance. With a larger one... well, it isn't pretty. -------------------- Hz'ii'zt a'iiencf coxnen a'bn'z'p pahuen yzpa'zuhb be'tt'phukh'kn az'ii'ova mxn't bhcizvi'fl?

"The Adventuring Magi" 4-PC BoA Party consisting of all mages. Tool-inclined character broke into Yolus's house in Witch Hunt. Then he attempted to open the trapped chest, knowing he wasn't competent enough. But it'd be all right, he told himself. Everyone's above 0 HP, and the trap doesn't deal unblockable damage, right? Turns out, it does. -------------------- 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:Oh dear sweet god. I'm not sure what's more frightening here: The hypocrisy or the fact that I could see my (hopefully past) self spouting the exact same nonsense. Let's dissect your misconceptions one at a time, shall we? quote:First off, even if I were to think that Homeland was the work of Satan and all demons from the underworld and that the author needed to be exorcised, that still counts as an opinion. Take it. Leave it. But the people here have the First Amendment right to voice their opinions (within the CoC), whether you like them or not. Second, I'd like to know how this: quote:Got turned into this: quote:While the "Nobody should even try Homeland" is fairly accurate, you successfully took that and blew it into a massive rant about how Imban is an egotistical arse. Get a grip! Take a step back and look how you're acting. You're emulating the exact behavior you speak against. quote:Yeah, now you're doing a little something called generalization. Tell me, how many members can you actually name that do that on a regular basis. I say you can come up with 4 or 5, tops. quote:Emulating again? Regardless, did you honestly expect everyone to present roses to every little scenario (both good and crappy) that gets released? Some people will like a certain scenario. Others will despise it with a passion. Some will have strong opinions on a subject. Some won't. But singling out those that strongly voice an opinion you don't agree with for ridicule and scorn is, in every sense of the word, wrong. Made worse by your hypocrisy on this very issue! quote:The actual fact is this: It's not those that make derogatory or inflammatory comments that start flame wars. That just sets the stage for one. It's those that take offense at it and promptly pursue on a quest for verbal vengeance that start flame wars. Fact is, there's going to be people who have a different opinion. There's going to be people who voice it in a way you don't agree with. There's going to be people trolling for a fight. But the best thing you can do about it (unless you're a mod/admin) is just stay out of the way. This is the internet; you have no control over other people or their behavior. But you do have control over yours. That said, I've never played Homeland, and I don't think it's worth the download. But I'm also working on dial-up that requires about an hour just to get a 20 Megabyte file. So 320 Megabytes would require ~16 hours. So I'm just not interested. AMEND: Nylad, that's no joke. And that assumes you can keep a stable and steady connection for 16 hours. Some dial-up companies will automatically terminate your connection if you're online beyond a certain limit of time.

quote:Maybe the reason no one is interested in doing a port is because it's uploaded as a .sit format. After reading up on the Windows version of Stuffit, I'm not touching that thing with a fifty-foot pole. If even a fraction of what I read is true, it's a piece of crap (which is appropriate, considering the archive extension is one letter away from profanity).

Before you do that, go into your scenario folder and see if there isn't a file named [yourscenario].bas.bak. If there is, you can remove the .bak part of the extension and load it up in the editor like an ordinary scenario. Of course, keep a copy of the original .bas in case the 3D editor hasn't made a backup recently. - This post brought to you by UBB. UBB: eating posts for your convenience!

quote:My mistake. I misinterpreted the following quote: quote:I hope you can see where the confusion resulted, and I'll fix my post accordingly. quote:From your perspective or an semi-omniscient perspective like the one held by the players, that's entirely reasonable. But take a look at it from Iocabe's perspective. He sees a looming threat and an unannounced enemy. So, naturally, if something important about Sanctuary mysteriously goes wrong due to human intervention on Sanctuary's southwestern front, the first conclusion Sanctuary is going to jump to is going to be the Hunters. And unfortunately, that's fairly typical politics. That said, no evidence or proof was brought forward that it was the Hunters, merely Iocabe's hasty (though understandable) assumption. So it could easily have been a brigand attack that the Hunters were completely oblivious to. quote:...Nikki marked Clarice off as a main character? *checks summary* Crap. I need to check that more (though unless Nikki has a complaint about it, I'm not changing it) quote:If this is about the 'War with the Hunters isn't if but when' quote, you really need to look at past relations between the two. Conflicting ideals, territorial tension, simple disdain towards each other... The whole situation is a pile of tinder waiting for a match. That doesn't mean Sanctuary's going to start it right this second either, or even in the near forseeable future. But the two will have it out eventually, simply because they're a complete mis-match for each other. AMMEND: First, fixed the wall thing. Second: quote:My previous IC addressed this. She was the imperial soldier that was attacked by brigands that Sanctuary rescued.
