Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Wednesday, March 15 2006 20:30 Profile Homepage #21 Actually, Carroll eventually wrote an answer to that, just to stop people annoying him about it. It was first published 31 years after the first edition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and of course it's not really worth 31 years of buildup, but here it is anyway, just as Carroll wrote it. "Because it can produce a few notes, tho they are very flat; and it is nevar put with the wrong end in front!" And no, "nevar" isn't a typo. Think about it.

Balanced Cheating for the Singleton in Avernum 4
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Wednesday, March 15 2006 15:04 Profile Homepage #5 We really can't give you specific numerical advice without knowing how good a player you are. If you're great, you won't need to cheat even with a singleton on Torment. If you're awful, you might need to cheat even with a party of four on Easy. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 \| Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00

Moral dilemmas in Avernum 4
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Wednesday, March 15 2006 14:21 Profile Homepage #31 quote: Originally written by Ubbelubb: quote: Originally written by Walter: And how about the imprisioned eyebeast west of Cotra? If you kill it the mayor is quite upset about how much they could have learned from it, yet you get some nice rewards for doing so, and if left alone it might trick someone else into letting it escape. Talk to the eyebeast, get the reward from the mayor, go back and kill it, and get the reward for the eyestalk. This has been asked and answered before; we're not talking about how to maximise your rewards. We're talking about the moral dilemma of killing it when you're under orders not to do so. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Changes for Better or Worse? in Avernum 4
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Tuesday, March 14 2006 21:27 Profile Homepage #29 Personally, I'm all for the removal of secret passages. Their usefulness is negated when players learn to instinctively bash their heads against every wall that they pass by, anyway. I also happen to think that designing for "replay value" is seriously overrated, at least in RPGs. If a book is good, you'll want to read it again even though it has the same text as it did last time. Hiding things from the player the first time through in order to force them to play again to find them is less fun in practice than in theory, especially for those of us who don't have a lot of time on our hands. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

The Origins of YOUR Custom Title in General
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Tuesday, March 14 2006 15:44 Profile Homepage #27 My title is a section of Turing tape. Unfortunately, in a previous topic I already made the joke that Turing tape is what you use to ture things to each other, so I won't do it again. Seriously, though, you can basically just think of my title as being binary code for a computer. It arose because of a running joke that I'm actually an artificial intelligence. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Well, because of those, for the first 10 years of my life I thought "statistic" meant "a dead person". -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Formello Bug? in Avernum 4
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Monday, March 13 2006 19:31 Profile Homepage #5 A man walks into a bar and asks for a Black Russian. The bartender asks him "How do you make one of those again?" The customer says "You pour three parts vodka and one part Kahlua over ice, and stir it with a unicorn's horn." The bartender tells him "Ain't no such thing as a unicorn, buddy." And the customer says "Well, that's okay, because there ain't no such thing as a black Russian."
