Exile/Blade & Avernum Saga question in General
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Thursday, June 9 2005 22:07 Profile Homepage #2 Avernum is a remake of Exile targeted at today's generation of players, who demand a modernised engine (i.e. flashy graphics). The story was kept essentially the same (apart from one or two additions) because it was less work than making a new game. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun! Roots Hunted!

Loss of Essence in Geneforge 1.03 in Tech Support
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Thursday, June 9 2005 18:40 Profile Homepage #1 Stop drinking fluoridated water. Seriously, though, are you not regaining lost essence even when you stand next to an essence pool or rest in a friendly town? Even when you have no creations? And your essence bar isn't already full? If you're not gaining experience, it could just be because you're at too high a level for the things you're killing to give you any XP. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Thursday, June 9 2005 15:24 Profile Homepage #96 quote: Originally written by Zeviz: I've rarely heard the word "sex" in the sence of "gender". A question "what's your gender" would be unambiguous. A question "what's your sex" sounds to me like a question about details of people's sexual lives. Sex refers to biology; gender to psychology. There are cases where the two aren't identical. One can argue about which is the better question to use in a poll, but don't conflate the two. (This is also why the term "gender reassignment surgery" used to refer to "sex-change" operations is simply wrong; the surgery is actually an attempt at changing sexual characteristics to match the patient's gender.)

Death's At Chapman question in Blades of Avernum
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Thursday, June 9 2005 07:46 Profile Homepage #3 Unfortunately, you may be out of luck. DaC was rushed to completion for a contest and as a result it can be frustratingly unpolished in parts. If you've already tried and failed to use the charm, you can still try the method I explained in my previous post and see if it works, but other people have had problems with it. It may be easier to just start over, and next time not try to use the charm until you've shown it to the priestess.

What are you addicted to? in General
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Thursday, June 9 2005 07:36 Profile Homepage #45 Wikipedia says the volatile oil of anise can be used to treat flatulence and colic in children. Seems like as good a reason as any to put it in sweets. The popularity of anise in alcoholic drinks might be explained by the fact that such beverages turn opaque if watered down, telling drinkers something they'd probably like to know and would otherwise have trouble telling short of the fortuitous appearance of a trout.

Death's At Chapman question in Blades of Avernum
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Thursday, June 9 2005 07:17 Profile Homepage #1 Okay. Please tell me you didn't try to use the Death Charm immediately after finding it. If you did, and saved afterwards, you may be in trouble and have to start over -- there's a bug in the scenario, you see. There's a secret passage outdoors, just a little southwest of the only friendly town in the scenario. You'll find a priestess there who teaches you how to use the Death Charm. After that, go back to the academy and see what interesting results you can get by using the Death Charm. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

How do you give credits to someone for scenario help? in Blades of Avernum
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Wednesday, June 8 2005 15:49 Profile Homepage #3 As for who to credit, at a bare minimum, credit your graphic designers and betatesters. If you borrow other people's scripts, mention that you've done so, but there's no need to credit the writers individually in the readme -- the scripts themselves usually include their writer's name. People who just helped you throw ideas around don't need to be credited unless you feel as if they've made a very significant contribution to the scenario. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Well played. At least I know better than to say "octopi". EDIT: M-W says "ignorami" is OK as a plural. The OED doesn't mention it, though.
