All right, what's up with all the Transformer stuff going around? In the last 24 hours I've seen Devastator and the Autobot and Decepticon emblems in people's signature. Don't make me break out my Snake-Eyes avatar and have a G.I.Joe vs. Transformers avatar/image/signature battle with y'all! Well, it's either that or I break out an Ultra Magnus avatar and join the fun. :D

Rothlisberger for president!

According to Steel Wind at DLA's forums (the link was posted in either this thread or the other one), that's just what happened.

Regarding writing Atari: Well, apparently it worked for the NWN1 CC creators, so I fail to see why it wouldn't work for us. I'll draft mine up tonight. For anyone else who wants to do this, please remember that emails do not carry the same weight with companies as written communication; if you want to make an impact, use a letter.

The only inconvienence in dying is getting back to the area where you were when you died.

Don't make it BG3! Then, halfway through the development cycle, Atari will move the forums to Bio's.

Ferran Starblade.

Steel Wind's first post, from August 17th. At no point does he attempt to change the situation though example (though he does contact the moderators or admin, judging from what he says); on the contrary, he fans the flames of trollism. The more that I see, and the more DLA members join up just to troll those of us who have been posting here, the more convinced I am that some CC creator got his feelings hurt because some OE poster didn't worship the ground that he walked on ("Wow! You made the ultra-realistic big-breasted jiggy nudie hak? You are a god!") and instead challenged him, and then said CC creator went off in a tantrum to complain to Atari. Rather childish behavior, if you ask me, and which makes me, at least, less likely to purchase NWN.

I don't care if a person's new or not, as I hold no ill will toward them if they are. What I am bothered by is the apparent lack of desire to affect meaningful change. If one cares enough to join these forums, then one should contribute in whatever way they can. If they feel that they are being trolled, then they should feel free to contact a moderator, and should try to change things (perhaps by setting an example), not by running away and then making fun of people when something at the forum goes wrong.

What's up with this childish "Neener-neener-hah-hah" talk that we've been getting since the announcements? I mean, that's really mature, let me tell you. You know, I've noticed quite a few people who have only recently joined who have complained both here and at Bioware that these NWN2 boards were populated by trolls and unfriendly to the elite Custom Content creators who deserve our undying respect, awe, and adulation. I just have one serious, non-rhetorical question to ask all of y'all: Did you, even once, attempt to change the "unfriendly, hostile, troll-filled" atmosphere of the Obsidian boards, or did you just decide that, because it wasn't the Bio boards where you are recognized for the CC that you've made, it wasn't worth trying? I have noticed that you, DraconisRex, have exactly 3 posts in the NWN2 boards. Elryn (member of the DLA project), for example, has only 3 posts, all in threads relating to the move, where s/he complains about being trolled (difficult to be trolled if one only posts 3 times). Many of the others either never posted until the move was made, or made fewer that 5 posts in the NWN2 boards. If these forums were so bad, then why did y'all make no effort at all to change them? Speaking for myself, I always actively attempt to change a situation before ignoring/abandoning it. I have had instances where I was not satisfied with the direction of a board, and did leave said board for a time, but not until after I had spent several months and hundreds of posts trying to effect change. In all honesty, it seems to me that the CC creators are just as guilty of what they are accusing OE posters of (relying on a small sample of former Bio-members to frame their opinions of the Bio boards on). Blech, I'm quite disgusted with all the smug superiority being flung about by people who never participated in the Obsid forums to begin with. For the most part (this post aside; I realize that I am crossing a line here by being a troll, and will accept whatever punishment the mods/admin see fit to administer without complaint), this is a friendly community, one in which NWN2 could have been discussed constructively by both fans of NWN1 and those whose only interest lies in NWN2. Now, though, it's a moot point.

I've experienced the lightsaber construction bug as well. You are correct, it won't assemble the saber with a cyan crystal.

Just remember not to use a Cyan crystal; the game won't recognize it for lightsaber construction.

Bush's inauguration party was funded by private donations, not tax money, as well. Further, I find this all ridiculous. Should we cancel Christmas, the Oscars, and the Super Bowl as well? It's a weak attack being made against Bush, and it just makes the attackers look petty. BTW, anyone else catch the fact that Bush may end up having carried Wisconsin as well? WI allows provisional voting (meaning that you show up and vote, and your eligibility is checked after the fact). Kerry won WI by approx. 11,000 votes. After reviewing provisional votes, over 10,000 have been found to be ineligible, and they're still counting. Could be interesting.

Yeah, but is he hiring? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You will finally be able to get that face concealing helmet that you always dreamed of <{POST_SNAPBACK}> <Muffled breathing>kumquat3...<muffled breathing> I am your father...<muffled breathing>

Yes. I think the honeymoon's over.

Dunno, but I was always around level 13-14.

Yeah, I learned Castillian, and I have had a time understanding people from Mexico. For some reason, even though Georgia has a significant Mexican population, the schools like to teach Castillian. Dunno why. Anyway, I work with a lot of immigrants and their children during my free time, and so I've adjusted, though I still sound like I have a lisp to them (which, of course, is appropriate), and they still sound funny to me.

Definitely. The Exile is the most interesting character of the game.

Nope.

Yeah, but is he hiring?

The only person that I recall getting consistently bashed was Product of the Cosmos.

That's actually a very astute post, draakh kimera.

Done. Kalfear?

That you learn to use the period.

Wishsong of Shanarra, I believe. Wielded two long swords, and killed some beast that only magic-users had killed before. Cool character.
