KotoR 3: Ideas and Suggestions
metadigital replied to Fionavar's topic in Star Wars: General Discussion
Um ... okay, as it's you Mus? :D -
I agree that we already have an indie aesthetic (if possibly immature). I think it is entirely possible that some publishers will go out on a limb and spend some VC on weird and wonderful "different" games, after all they have little to lose (if they limit the budget and therefore the inherent risk; after all they are terminating games after going gold on development, now) and everything to gain: IP ownership, !A NEW FRANCHISE!, !A NEW GENRE!, and a captive revenue stream. What would you suggest as a solution?

NEWS FLASH: Scientist report that there is an overwelming proportion of Hydrogen Dioxide in the drinking water. Scientists were unable to confirm how long the situation had been like this, adding "Probably a very long time." Sales of bottled water have quintupled in the last hours, since the announcement, which was curiously sponsored by Evian ...

I thought he filled up every females inbox with clumsy, lewd invitations to coupling opportunities ... (not that I'm trying to belittle any of the females with this observation, just poking fun at the Ghostie and his uncontrollable libido ...) "

What the Australian Federal system does is gives all states two senators (in the Upper House, which passes parliamentary legislation into law), and has a proportional representation for the Lower House (which is where legislation is created and debated). I think that is a fair compromise. Then again, Australia was the first place to give women the vote (not the first country: NZ beat them at the federal level, but South Australia was the first electorate in the world to give women the vote).

(17+) years of using it, as well as a few years talking execs down from jumping out of windows because of their pc troubles can do that for you. If you need any more help, just ask (PM or whatever).

Funnily enough, when I read that, I found I associate chocolate orange with Legends of Zelda, too. The bizzare bit is, I don't remember ever playing Zelda on the N64 (but I could very well have on a friends). Jungian synchronicity, perhaps? Doo-do do-do doo-do do-do waaaa-wa! wa-wa! *bongo solo*

Dirty old geek men? (I assume you are including GoA in that group ...)

Not even back to black? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Depends on length. And whether you need to attend any interviews in the meantime.

Yes, go on, crash the censor, that should be good for a laugh. Microsoft Word has the stupidest, most basic page-numbering system - I was trying to get page numbers to work on my dissertation, so that the opening part would be i, ii, iii and so on, and then the main body would start from 1, but I couldn't persuade it to do it properly. And that bloody useless paperclip - Hugh Dennis is right, no fate is too awful for the Microsoft Office paperclip! Thanks, I feel better now. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You need to: create different sections, one (or more) for the preface (index / whatever), i.e. the bit where you want numbering in roman lowercase; set the "File, Page Setup" option for the main section to restart numbering for the next section (you can probably do this through the normal "View header/fotter" menu option, too). You can even have different documents as sections in a master document, though Word has a lot of idiosyncracies with this process, and it is non-trivial and NOT for the faint-hearted. There is at least one config that WON'T work, and that is if you change your page layout between portrait and landscape in the middle of the document. Word just can't handle this (in earlier versions, with the paperclip, at least).

Doesn't sound like it. This was a documentary about the rise of Augustus, then the continuation of the blood line of C

I like dark hair. I never understood the female pre-occupation with dying / mutilating their hair to make it as different as possible, just to be different from what they were. I think you should stay dark. Especially with light eyes, it makes an amazing contrast. (Stuff all this nonsense about blondes versus brunettes, eye colour is much more important. What was the question?)

Yeah, I had a racous debating circle of co-workers at a recent site where we discussed the Iraq democracy. It was quite an unpalatable pill to swallow for some, that the Iraqis were free to elect whomever they wanted, even if it was Saddam Hussein! After all, Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge did very well in Cambodia's first democratic elections after the Killing Fields of his Agrarian Communist revolution ...

I really liked Sir Ian McKellan's portrayal of King Richard III in the updated film version (with Nazis, natch). On topic: I have voted in the IEE elections in Britain for years using a fully electronic system. The problem is that it is non-trivial, and the government is trying to make it trivial. (Some paranoia about the Labour Party's electoral demographics and correlated ability to understand technology, perhaps?).

Another goal is to spark a sectarian conflict between the Sunni and Shi'ite Muslims in the south (Sunni being hostile now that there fewer numbers mean a power disenfranchisement, Shi'ites jostling for supremacy in their region) and Kurds in the North, which

Doing what again? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Acting like a petulant child, after being reprimanded for poor manners. Sulking. Acting out the stereotype that you are denigrating so ferociously. The lady doth protest too much, methinks. Hamlet (Act III, Scene ii, line 239) All I have done is call you out when you have continued to behave as you insist that you are not. So sorry this is so traumatic for you (It's a giggle to watch).

You're doing it again! I am not being rude or belligerent; you are just not happy to hear a (very minor) criticism! Boy, you really ought to get some perspective: debate just isn't your forte.

In case you didn't notice, it is a dynamic link (argument parsed into a php command string), which cannot be directly linked. Seems like I can't even link to it now! Here is the picture: (Nice homonyn, too.)

Try and get a copy of the error message. I say this because I think it is always the same, but someone earlier suggested it changed. (Just copy and paste into Notepad, or similar, then paste it here.)

Obsidian Forums Diplomacy Game 3 (OBS-03)
metadigital replied to Archmonarch's topic in Pen-and-Paper Gaming
I have tons of school preparations, not to mention I've been in huge crunch time with my Research internship. It wasn't that the length of the game got me. In the end I should not have accepted the agreement to shorten the turn length. I did anticipate the game to take weeks. What I did not anticipate was the couple of solid days where I did not even have time to even check my email because of all the running around I was doing. I also quit OBS-5, which hadn't even really started yet. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sure, as I said I was not quite so harsh in my judgement of your actions as Eru. (Would lengthening the speed of turns make a difference to your decision?) -
Fancy replaying the game again?

Good afternoon, good evening and good night. Truman

That's called growing up. Yes, he's now within the listening realm of 13 year olds... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Baby steps ... baby steps ...

You were sticking your fingers in your ears and screaming "We did nothing wrong!" whilst others, less histrionic, were trying to politely point out that you may have completely misread the political situation. And as to the bit you cut out of your reply, I thought I made that pretty clear by including it after the colon and adding a closing remark after it. I don't know how to be clearer than that, without sending you an engraved copy of your reply.
