  1. My, the simulation is quite crafty ...
  2. I read it as an additional factor, not the only one: ... Complex system of hero
  3. 1. It was a neat turn of phrase, so I thought I'd use it before it becomes clich
  4. Well, I guess a new map has the advantage of not being so widely played; therefore everyone has to do their own strategising and not rely on previous game results ... "
  5. I would write an article, but I have no grey press to issue. You are too fundamental in your views, Kaftan. There is no way to win the game if you keep your alliances with everyone (even if that is just one person).
  6. I think Walsingham (Francis) is a British citizen, and so was talking in
  7. As with any source of information, I don't mind so long as I can tell what their bias is. (It's a foregone conclusion with Fox ...) As long as Fox is not your only source of news, then you are okay. Personally, I like to read the newspapers regularly, just because it is impossible to cover any current affairs in sufficient depth in five minute sound bites, which is the format that predominates the tv. A different slant can make a HUGE difference, especially if it's reported as if it is not biased. I think the BBC news service deserves its distinction for even-handed reporting. Even so, there are more than the average amount of socialists in the employ: one newsreader accidentally called the Labour Party "we" on air recently ... I would like to see the Citizen Kane effect circumvented, though. I think it is very dangerous that Murdock controls most of the media around the world, for example. I know it is paranoid to suggest that he can control an election, but the fact remains that one of his newspapers (The Sun, a popular tabloid that started the "Page 3" phenomenon) has backed the winner of every election, Conservative and Labour ...
  8. That second one looks like a seal mitted ragdoll, with dentures!
  9. I am holding off on building a new rig: there are a couple of decade-long standards, as well as a few shorter period standards, that are in mid-flux (Graphics cards: there WILL be a new one out before the end of Summer, DDR3 RAM, FSBus bandwidth, dual core CPUs, PCI, HD-DVD / Blu-Ray, even the motherboard, etc). You can build a good rig for
  10. I still think saberist had the best over-arching story I've seen. (I've posted it in a previous thread). Very long post, but he tied up all the loose ends and even picked out some very strong leitmotifs from the previous games, all while providing a satisfying end for the male and female demographics. And, yes, it did involve a degree of sacrifice.
  11. I must say it is such good sportsmanship of Baley to participate in the game as much as he does. Boy, I really want to play more games with him, he's sooooooooo much fun! [/sarcasm]
  12. Did someone hear something? (Just kidding.) Hey, these character sheets don't just fall out of a tree, y'know. They take a bit of time to write. What is normal is that you write one about someone else, then someone writes about you (i.e. new posters write about the poster above). So, if you want one written about you, you write one about someone else first. Now, Darkside, I know you have already done this. I would write one about you, but I barely know you (you don't wven write to me as your GM :sniff:.) I shall add a new one as regularly as I can.
  13. Yah! But: why you no likey the standard map so much, kemosabe?
  14. I have no evidence, but I would not be surpirsed if it was end of September / start of October (last Quarter of 2005, beginning of Winter / Christmas). That raises a question: I don't believe the Lost Coast will be available for the console version ... does anyone know for sure, either way?
  15. That's tautology. And redundant. A semantic pleonasm.
  16. ...Features: [*]Role-playing genre in the space gameworld [*]3 galaxies with unique races each [*]extraordinary beautiful graphics of universe [*]Controlling spaceships from the 3rd person point of view [*]Complex system of hero
  17. All the simulations are after you ... er, us. Me. I have a friend who once pointed out that the paranoia was not a malady, as there was no word for justified fear ...
  18. If reviewers mark a game only playing a bit of it, then they should say so! Unless it is really poor, the mark may be radically different ... *cough*KotOR:TSL*cough* ...
  19. How is FOX NEWS reputable? Unless you mean FOX NEWS has a reputation, then I understand ... :D
  20. That might explain the 30 minute long stands in "Active in User Control Center/PM Center" <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think you have just raised the bar on paranoia! PS I, too, leave my pc on for extended periods ...
  21. 1. Okay. 2. Awful idea. Ditto for nephews, nieces and godchildren. Why are you so opposed to "Jedi Jo(e) in the wrong place at the wrong time"? Do you have to be the "Harry Potter" CHOSEN ONE ?
  22. Crafty how Reveilled is pretending to be inexpert so as to curry favour in another Diplomacy game ... metagaming par excellence ... "
  23. Holy give-everyone-what-they-asked-for, Batman! What a sound compromise ...
  24. Yep, all we need is some sort of time distortion in K3 going back to the Wound Creation Event on M5, and we'd have the most boring clich
