Now I'm curious. EDIT: Of course, this post just had to be on a new page. Quotes for context. By Imban: quote:By Ephesos: quote:-------------------- IF I EVER BECOME AN EVIL OVERLORD: I will not send out batalions composed wholly of robots or skeletons against heroes who have qualms about killing living beings.

Me too… hey Eph, enlighten us? :) EDIT: Ugh… and naturally, -X- had to post something right then. This was in response to what Dintiradan said.

Who was it that first brought that up, anyway? I remember that it was right after DoK was submitted. -------------------- quote: Posts: 1115 | Registered: Sunday, May 15 2005 07:00 |

I know TM brought it up in his rating for DoK at the Lyceum. In fact, that's how I found out about it. -------------------- Scenarios need reviews!

The results of this poll: In first, with 34% of the vote: STALKER In second, with 27% of the vote: VAHKOHS In third, with 22% of the vote: THE IMMORTAL I plan on holding this poll next year too. Of course, everyone who got less then 5% of the vote won't be included, just to sort of narrow it down. -------------------- Scenarios need reviews!

Someone please make a better villain than Stalker for next time. I'll try my best, but I am really bad at the editor at this point, showing very few signs of improvement.

Stalker didn't have zero character development... he was a character that didn't need it as much. You knew from the start that somebody had to be leading the Hill Runners, but you didn't know who until pretty much the end of the scenario. That kind of villain isn't always bad, either. Some villains tend to hog the stage (*cough* Rentar *cough*), and on occasion, it's just rewarding to find out that, yes, there actually was somebody running the show (I like to think that the villain in EoR has this down). quote:Might be browser stuff... but yeah, the UBB system is probably at death's door right now. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice.

The only thing I liked about Stalker, as a character, was his reaction to your killing Jaen. We never hear about Stalker though, ASR's interesting conflict is shown through the Hill Runners, not Stalker. What doesn't make sense to me is that although Stalker got first place, Jaen wasn't even close to him. Jaen and Stalker are exactly the same, except that Jaen fights for the Empire and Stalker fights for the Hill Runners. Both had similar motives and tactics, and both believed that the ends justified the means. I think the reason that most of us think Stalker is interesting, is that, because we hardly ever see Stalker, we fill in the gaps in his character ourselves. The setting is what makes Stalker interesting. Posts: 1233 | Registered: Wednesday, October 3 2001 07:00 |

Jaen is not a villain - Stalker is. Jaen is a good guy. Playing ASR as the Empire is much more satisfying, especially because the final dungeon is more interesting. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

quote:Typical Empire propaganda. :P But seriously, Jaen is just as much of a villain as Stalker. As Slith said, both think that the ends justify the means, and both are pretty ruthless. And who's to say that the party doesn't arrive in the scenario working for the villain? Really, either both are villains, or both are good guys. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead. With a passion.

quote:The reason Polonius didn't get many votes is because you only fought him for the first 1/5th of the scenario. The rest of the scenario, you were trying to get home. Attorosi fared poorly because... well, no offense, but he's a rat. You would really have to pull out all the stops to make a top class villain with a rat. And don't forget, Marnok was also a demon, but he didn't do so well. The reason why your villains didn't do so well is because your scenarios don't revolve around the scenario's villain. Which, if you really look at it, is quite an achievement. -------------------- Scenarios need reviews! Please rate these scenarios at the CSR after playing them!

Nioca, I'm reasonably sure Smoo was joking. That said, after Rats Aplenty, Dikiyoba is sure Smoo could pull off a demon lord doing something just because it was a demon lord if he really wanted to. Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |
