With age comes wisdom, youngling. I do not stand in line for computer games. (And you'll have to do better than that to get a date with her. )

If there are no more cRPG developers then there wouldn't be any more cRPG games. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Non sequitur. I was stating my incredulity at your statement that no cRPGs would be made if all the [current] developers were forced into receivership or console platforms. It beggars belief to conclude that no-one would develop a cRPG whilst there is stil a PC on which to develop one.

Try killing the lost Mandalorian (Kumus), or telling the sergeant what really happened to him ...

I think the tomb is merely a mental trap, and represents nothing outside the immediacy of the fight. Witness the notes made by the other Jedi, whose body you loot in the endless-Hsissis room for a datapad.

Yes. Firstly, I have capacity for only a few, currently. More importantly, my previous games of Diplomacy has seen upwards of a hundred messages in the first few turns. I do not want to manage the communication through PMs, as it is just too awkward. If you don't have a (suitable) email address, I can help you get one.

I hope you just didn't give us "Diplomasauce" as a synonym for

It's not a bug, it's a feature. Seriously. As w666tvr posted above, you have to find an alternative method to progress the story if you do not have the required skills.

So no new developers will ever create games for the PC? You remember Duke Nukem? It was shareware to begin with.

Scrapie has existed everywhere for decades. But, yeah, it is quite possible that there is an undocumented Bovine Spongiform Encephelopathy epidemic in the US, though I wouldn't want to say that on a public forum lest I get sued for libel ...

Males are notoriously poor communicators, especially compared to females (on average). Men can spend their entire adult life as friends and not pass on simple information, like why their partner left them, or how their parents died. Women can exchange their spouses bedroom habits with another they met in a crowded washroom.

You need to clean your nails.

I see. GL screwed "that" up, did he? According to whom? Some comic book? Also, stop using coloured fonts, it makes your already pointless comments even more unreadable. To answer the original question, the three colours were given meanings by Bioeare when they created the game. There is no reason to ascribe any subtext to the colour of a lightsabre beam (except red has only ever been used for Sith). Of course I don't expect it will be long before some zealous fanboy revisionist explains that the colours have always had deep, intrinsic meanings based on long-established principles.

Wrong. Wrong. It is baed on your PC's level. (Try it.)

Way to go, Anakin! How to win friends and influence people!

Well, I don't think it's a reflection on your comeliness :Darque: more a statement of how persuasive DarkSide thinks you are. ... in other words she thinks you're a push-over ...

Can I suggest that everyone email everyone else, then? Also, Archie, would you update the first post so that we don't have to hunt for this page later in the game? Cheers

Well that just confirms it!

How can everyone rate everyone when we haven't established the rating system (i.e. what are the attributes, flaws and merits of a TOMBS player)? First things first, people (or simulations)!

You say that with the expectation that we care.

He was brilliant, but his singing voice is not necessarily the brilliance we refer to; his attitude, his genre-creating boldness, his outright charismatic sex appeal, but not his singling voice (which wasn't bad, just doesn't compare to Karen Carpenter or Eva Cassidy).

That is a good point. I guess you have to establish what you want to hear, and how often you want to hear it. Current Projects, and Status Updates is all well and good, but the most efficient way to disseminate such information is on a website for us (the ausidnece) to pull down. Still, a reminder sent every time it is updated might be a nice additional service ...

Um, there are no 5s ...

I anticipate that it will take a few weeks to get the game under way.

I will be hosting the fourth Diplomacy game, as and when people want to play it. Feel free to send any correspondence to . Here are the basic rules. There is at least one person out there who wants to play a different version. I am happy to host any version, so feel free to debate the variation of the game. Here are some of the variants. (E.g. there is a global variant that only requires thirteen players, thirty-one player World Diplomacy on a spherical chart, or even a nine player variant of the standard map.) I still think it would be best to play a standard game, but if you have a suggestion: let's here it! Any suggestions or problems, please email me (only PM if it's urgent), and we'll work them out.
