Of course, I'm somewhat leaning towards Landshark too so... Beholder, final answer. Did I win the million, Meredith? Beholder indeed. Wow. You got it much faster than we did. Then again, we were all tired, and the DM didn't actually refer to what the dryad said until we'd been puzzling over it for a fairly long time. -------------------- Do not provoke the turtles.

It doesn't matter how successful the movies themselves were. Sylvester Stallone is just a big muscley guy that thinks he can act, but really can't. For that matter, I fully believe Rocky to have been successful solely because of the music.

Riddle in Blades of Avernum
Gavin Lifecrafter Member # 7538	written Friday, October 20 2006 08:55 Profile Homepage #4 Heh… reminds me of a riddle my DM used on us one time. At some point, our party met a dryad, who told us to be careful where we look for beauty. Later, we were looking for something, and we encountered three illusionary creatures: a landshark, a mindflayer, and a beholder. We had to pick one. Any guesses at the right answer? -------------------- Do not provoke the turtles.

The Bad Get Polling! in Blades of Avernum
Gavin Lifecrafter Member # 7538	written Friday, October 20 2006 08:45 Profile Homepage #73 quote: Originally from Emperor Tullegolar: Uh... yes! Who ever said the United States was the angel of world politics? I personally have not forgiven them for using the bomb, and I am surprised Japan has. That makes the bombers evil? They were just acting on orders. Ever seen "A Few Good Men"? Similar story. When someone in the armed forces gets ordered to do something, even if they think it's immoral, they still have to do it, or it raises all kinds of hell for them personally. In cases like that, it's lose-lose for them. In fact, that's pretty much how it is in war. Plenty of soldiers don't want to fight, but some country goals require it. So they act on orders from the powers that be, in order to expediate the process of achieving those goals. The orders are to go out and kill other soldiers, who, in turn, also don't really want to fight. I guess that I'm just defending the nameless soldiers who get blamed for attacks. I'm saying if you're going to call someone a villain for killing the innocent, make sure you're blaming the right people. That said, sometimes the leaders themselves have to take drastic measures in order to get the attention of (or perhaps pound some sense into) the enemies of their cause. Hence, we have attacks on the innocent. Is it a good thing? No. Does it make them evil? Not necessarily. In fact, I'll go so far as to make a conjecture, that when the President and any other authorities involved gave the order to bomb Hiroshima, they had to live with a guilty conscience for a long time afterward, possibly until their deaths. What's all this got to do with the topic? Well it's simple. When Stalker attacked the innocent civilians, he was trying to get attention. The presence of "that fool Machrone" proves how well it worked. [ Friday, October 20, 2006 08:47: Message edited by: Nemesis ] -------------------- Do not provoke the turtles.

that third empire army outpost by blackcrag fortress in The Avernum Trilogy
Gavin Lifecrafter Member # 7538	written Thursday, October 19 2006 10:20 Profile Homepage #8 I played the shareware version of the game for a long time. A really long time. Most of that was wandering around killing random monsters. By the time I got the game, it was almost too late to save any areas that I hadn't already saved. I decided at that point that I didn't like time limits. -------------------- Do not provoke the turtles.

Gavin Lifecrafter Member # 7538	written Thursday, October 19 2006 10:10 Profile Homepage #10 For acting, I'm inclined to say Revenge of the Sith. Hayden Christiansen (sp?) wins for worst actor in a love scene. For worst actor in general, I must agree that Kevin Costner is pretty bad, but I counter with Sylvester Stallone.

What is that saying, then, about the U.S. in WWII? Bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki? You'd better believe innocent people died in those attacks. More, I'd say, than non-innocent people. Does that make the bombers villains? Or perhaps the authorities that ordered the attacks? -------------------- Do not provoke the turtles.

Scripting Category? in Blades of Avernum Editor
Gavin Lifecrafter Member # 7538	written Wednesday, October 18 2006 07:58 Profile Homepage #8 Hmm… Salmon has a point. Thinking about it, it probably would be better to have a separate contest altogether, and divide that up by, say, kind of script (whether it's a terrain script, character script, whatever). As far as usefulness, that could vary. Every script anyone would make would (probably) have its uses. Perhaps for originality. Complexity or simplicity shouldn't matter, so long as the script works. -------------------- Do not provoke the turtles.

Bandits North of Saffron (A1) in The Avernum Trilogy
Gavin Lifecrafter Member # 7538	written Monday, October 16 2006 11:01 Profile Homepage #0 The title's slightly misleading, but you'll get the idea. I'm wondering about one of the books in the back room (might be hidden). It says something about the moisture of the room making the writing illegible, but there might be a way to read it. The question is, what do you do? I've read game guides, but none that I've found reveal how to read the book (if it's even possible). Has anyone ever figured out how? -------------------- Do not provoke the turtles.
