That is an interesting point. But it doesn't make sense for either side to douse the inside with fuel. It is true that Koresh was about to meet his end, but suicide wouldn't fit his claim to being the second coming of the messiah.
He wouldn't exactly be the first self-styled messiah to display hypocritical self-destructive behaviour. Remember Jim Jones?

You remind me of the Snopes link. I'll presume, just on the basis of the pattern in your thinking, that there exists some obvious reason to bulldoze the site, a reason that you either haven't bothered to look up or that you aren't aware of because you haven't even thought to check the most obvious relevant details.
Specifically: when a building is gutted by fire, it has to be bulldozed for safety reasons, so someone doesn't try to camp out in it and have the roof fall on their head. This is standard procedure.

[GF3] Tips for higher difficulty settings? Also, batons and Daze? Also, tip @ Rahul. in Geneforge Series

The Guardian is generally considered the hardest class to play in G3; as you predict, it does poorly on Torment, although it's playable as long as you really know your way around the game.

Killing enemies on higher difficulties doesn't result in more experience. It wouldn't be a higher difficulty if it weren't more difficult, now would it? :P

It's somewhat random, and some enemies are more vulnerable than others. In concert with a couple of Glaahks it's a pretty reliable way of locking down one enemy. On its own, it's only going to stop things in their tracks some of the time.

Sweetgrove isn't in bladbase.exs -- the only town in bladbase.exs is Warriors' Grove. The scenario you want to open is Valley of Dying Things, which is valleydy.exs.

Coding limitation. 32,767 is the largest number that can be held in a signed two-byte integer. If your gold went over that amount somehow, it'd wrap around and become negative.

This explains it better than I could. Basically, Unix-based operating systems interpret "delete -rf /" as "delete absolutely everything without asking first".

However, I have found illegal activities Clinton did that are backed up by actual evidence and not just rumors. Here is the following:
1. Witnesses stated that while visiting Reno, Nevada, they heard him discuss planting a bomb in Oklahoma City. Not long after, the Oklahoma City bombing occured.

Oh, look. Unnamed "witnesses". The most credible source of all.

2. Well over a hundred of Clinton's own agents "mysteriously vanished" during his presidency. There isn't actually evidence for this, but that is very suspicious.
Uh-huh. Over a hundred people vanished and there's no evidence that they vanished. But we should believe you because you're a random person on the internet and random people on the internet never lie.

Woah. I know Adam Cadre. I didn't realize that anyone had ever heard of his writing, though.

Yeah, he's a pretty big figure in the IF community. Sadly I lack the stones to actually beat Varicella, but most of his other stuff is very puzzle-light.

It sounds as if you're trying to edit a town that doesn't actually exist yet. If you want to make a new town, you have to use the Create New Town option first.

As the original poster mentioned, Nakel in Northern Fens drops it when killed. As might be gathered from the topic title, it gives a bonus to Energy Preservation. What exactly Energy Preservation does is the present topic of discussion; the original poster has observed no effect from it.

(I presume it does slightly reduce energy costs for spellcasting, but it indubitably sucks.)

Yeah, Guardian Koerner looks exactly like Alwan. He's probably who you killed.

I know that it's possible to kill Shaper Grim, but that's because he doesn't show up anywhere else.
