A Perfect Forest and Emerald Mountain are generally considered to be the best two third-party scenarios so far. Hop by Comprehensive BoA Scenario Rankings for a broader view of what's available and what people think of them. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Given that the guy posting on the GF2 boards about the trainer he made hasn't been banned yet, I don't think you should worry. Anyway, technically it's not hacking the game, it's just editing values in RAM. Yeah, Jeff can't help get the trainer working, but he CAN give you an unmodified copy of GF2. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

I'd assume so, since unlike the other continents, the geography of Valorim is in fact JV canon. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun! Roots Hunted! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

There are 3 different items you can get the dragon. He'll accept any of them, and reward you for getting more than one. There's the Melora Opal, the Crystal of Purity and the Dragon History Scroll. You can steal the history scroll from Morog or take it as a reward for her quest. The Opal is somewhere not far south of Morog's castle. The Crystal of Purity quest starts a little to the north, in an area reachable by boat. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Some of you may have heard of the BoE Arena and associated RP. We're planning on starting it up again, probably in BoA. Since some people have complained about the lack of RPs on the SW forums, I thought you might be interested in taking a look: http://forums.desperance.net/index.php?showtopic=470 If you want to know more or have input into the design process, be on AIM in an hour, and join the Buddy Chat room "Arena RP". -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun!

Were you actually standing next to the sign while looking at it? EDIT: Well, that's funny. I'm running v1.1.1 on OS X too, and outdoor signs don't work for me either! Must be a bug introduced in the new version. [ Thursday, November 11, 2004 19:45: Message edited by: Thuryl ] -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Why, that couldn't possibly happen, because if a government were corrupt then people would stop donating. Well, uh, unless the bulk of donations came from a small group of very wealthy individuals or groups who benefited from that corruption. The logically-minded will notice that the likely end-point of this is for everyone to donate enough to keep the government out of their business. Some would say that this is not so different from the situation we have now, except that the government is more openly a protection racket and doesn't have any particular obligations to use the money to the benefit of its people (or at least, none that are enforceable).

Well, some extreme capitalists believe in a government funded entirely by donations, which runs the police and military and essentially nothing else. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun! Roots Hunted! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

If you're implying poisoning, I'm not so sure; that's what I thought at first too, but it's just as likely that some of the higher-ups in the Palestinian Authority had known something was wrong with him for a long time and were covering it up. After all, he didn't exactly get out much. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun! Roots Hunted! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

I think the argument is that the fallacy lies in assuming that a life can be assigned a value at all; that in a sense saying that a life has a value rather than saying that it has value devalues life. Alternatively, one could say that life has infinite value and that since 1000 times infinity isn't a bigger number than infinity itself, there's no reason to prefer the 1000 over the one. On the other hand, one could also reject your bald assertion that right behaviour is a matter of calculation, and counter that it involves adhering to a set of principles -- and that to not murder is a more important principle, in and of itself, than to preserve life. Not that I necessarily agree with any of these positions, of course. [ Tuesday, November 09, 2004 04:05: Message edited by: Thuryl ] -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun! Roots Hunted!

Good point. I'm not sure it does work for E2 either, come to think of it. But it never hurts to try. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |
