I don't wanna pay that much! in Blades of Exile
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Tuesday, May 3 2005 20:18 Profile Homepage #29 Keep in mind that's the inflation-indexed Federal Reserve interest rate, not the kind of rate an average borrower will get on a credit card or even a home loan. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

The single most annoying part of (Spidweb) RPGs in General
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Tuesday, May 3 2005 19:53 Profile Homepage #7 Well, having said that, there's a distinction between challenge and tedium. But at least Avernum and Geneforge handle dropped items better than Exile, where anything you left behind in most places was lost forever. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun!

Question about creations in Geneforge Series
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Tuesday, May 3 2005 12:55 Profile Homepage #6 Not a problem at all. Many people play a "deadweight Shaper" throughout the whole game -- he keeps out of the way while his creations do all the fighting. As long as you keep your shaping skills high, you'll do fine. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 \| Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00

Member # 869	written Tuesday, May 3 2005 12:53 Profile Homepage #53 quote: Originally written by andrew miller: I wonder: does color affect animals the way that it affects people? I seem to recall learning in high school psychology that colors affect moods, which was why all the rooms at school were painted in drab, dull colors - to prevent students from being rowdy. Apparently, chickens exposed primarily to red light (or with red filters placed over their eyes) lay more eggs. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Middle of the road viewpoint in Geneforge Series
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Tuesday, May 3 2005 12:51 Profile Homepage #52 quote: Originally written by bogus standard candidate: However: what did the Shapers use as lifestock before they learned to create ornks? Perhaps there was lifestock and the Shapers in their obsession to create and control their environment did away with it? And while we're at it, what about game? These guys are a mystery. The message you get the first time you encounter ornks in Geneforge 1 pretty much explicitly says that Shapers do use livestock other than ornks; ornks are just for particularly hostile environments where other, less hardy livestock are unsuitable. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Even for those communities which may have had words to express the concept of the world as a whole, I doubt that different groups would have talked about it in the same way. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!
