Nope. Sorry. What would happen is General stays the same and Misc becomes a useless wasteland.

And Misc was done sometime in 2002. Began in June? 2001.

Ahh! Tense confusion!

Goldenking, it's not that I don't believe you, it's that you sounded ridiculous.

By low he means no magic. The aesins may be described as having "magic in their veins" by the humans, but that's just old wives tales to explain their longer life span, etc.

Hmm, these are the only ones I bought - all four. Maybe I didn't give the others a fair enough chance. The storylines just were not compelling enough to make up for the graphics. Am I the only one that thinks the Geneforge storylines are the best?

I like the story itself in Geneforge 1 and the way the story unfolds and is treated in Geneforge 4 (even though it's not the best actual story).

Exile/Avernum 2 is the best of every spidweb game, I think, in the story sense. Exile/Avernum 1 and 3 both have better *premises* though.

Gawker is more media-based and New York based, which appeals to me as someone working in a media company in New York.

Also, the commenters are snarky and funny, as opposed to the blind rage and general dead-horse-beating of Wonkette.

I'm on the fence about Valleywag and Deadspin.

Wonkette? I peruse every now and then, but I'm more of a Gawker guy myself.

No, it's far more dialogue, description, and situation based. One of our pet peeves is players who list an inventory or their IC posts have things like "and now David casts Major Heal" etc. This is why the RPs tend to last so long - we can't kill off the annoying characters even if we want to (although Frozen Feet and I can do it in this RP) and it's hard for players to resolve conflicts because nobody wants to admit they've been outsmarted or defeated. But again, Frozen Feet and I will be able to throw the might of armies behind people, so that should also be a little different this go-round.

As for me, I decline to have a main character and instead will create and use characters in the employ of the Meher government and army.

For me (bad example, I know) it comes down to three things - town/outdoor design is much simpler, dialogue/monsters/items can be edited easier, and noding is *faster* than scripting. I don't know where you got some of the impressions you did - how in-depth merchants are has always been a designer decision and not a trend influenced by BoE/BoA.

I'm not sure what you mean when you talk about outdoors time - 10 steps in town equal one step outdoors.

They also set the standards that signify what a "high school diploma" means, etc. As for PE, you had one gym teacher for 500 kids in your freshman class? Our phys ed department was at least 10 people strong - probably more. Everyone took gym every day for four years (with one quarter of Health each year). Of course, when you can choose your gym classes, the type of people that gravitate towards Volleyball and Table Tennis are going to be different.

Fortunately not all states are reducing physical education - and once some results trickle in from Arkansas, more states might actually get fitter, more active children. You've gotta love Mike Huckabee!

Exile III has given me the most gameplay of any non-BoE game ... or maybe just as much! It's really a blast to play and re-play. I think that part of what's so good is that there's no forced early missions to go on, you can jump right in and go anywhere and tackle anything.

About 2/3 of NJ school districts have starting teacher salaries of $40K+. A lot of school districts across the country (Helena, Montana has been mentioned a lot) are raising initial salaries, and unions are fighting for them too. Everyone recognizes the issue of attracting quality teachers is important - but really, is teaching ever going to get people who right now are in the doctor/lawyer/engineer/finance pool? A lot of them may become teachers later on, but right out of college it's a different breed. I think you've got to attract the students that right now are going into psychology, social work, etc. - appeal to them and make teaching "sexy" again.
