Is that a novel, a game or a nightmare?

We may yet meet on the field of battle. We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France. We shall fight on the seas and oceans. We shall fight with growing strength in the air. We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches. We shall fight on the landing grounds. We shall fight in the fields and in the streets. We shall fight in the hills. We shall never surrender. - Winston Churchill I do not fear an army of lions, if they are led by a lamb.

I'm not sure about the Hollywood studios positions, but I know that most of the technological hardware companies have backed Blu-Ray, so there is one market sewn up ...

I mean for your updated stuff and consequential discussion! (Just curious: what has 1.66 got that the module depends on?) Seconded. You certainly have built on the great beginning to create something even more special. Well Done! :D I can't wait to continue the adventure.

At least it wasn't Davros. But I have noticed Russell T Davies' penchant for deus ex machina denouments. Oh well, at least the writing has been of a consistently high standard.

You have far too much time on your hands ... I'm toying with the idea of quickly reading Foundation (the first novel in the series, and it and the immediate sequels are the best imo). Asimov has a lot to teach us. He used to write without a plan (cf. the great Charles Dickens). Once he explained how he hired a secretary to type up his dictaphone notes for him. Later, the girl came to him and said she couldn't do her job. When he asked why, she turned on the dictaphone and Asimov's excited and agitated voice came squealing out of the speaker in an unintelligible hurry, as he gave stage direction and dialogue for a character that was obviously in a frenetic situation.

Useful information: Atomic Space Vixen recommends putting your pillow in the freezer to allow it to cool before you retire for bed; the cool surface will help you nod off quicker, in more comfort! :cool:

Not in front of the children! Imminent Excitement!!!!!one11!11! Oh, no! No more Doctor until Christmas! What am I going to do!

I disagree with your analysis; you are making a very crude and superficial comparison of the Bible with historical events. Just as a film made in 1945, like Casablanca or They Were Expendable, can tell us more about the society of the time than any textbook, so too the Bible can tell us about the myths of civilzation: the hopes, dreams and nightmares. The Bible does that very eloquently, especially when now we are able to piece together what has been edited out and in ...

and Apparently you've never heard of postulates? Postulates are unprovable commonly accepted "truths" of mathmatetics and sciences. We use them as starting grounds for futher theories and proofs. We simply believe them to believe them. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'll step in here. As I have said before "There are no sects in geometry"

I often use gravity as an example of science since this is perhaps the most commonly accepted law of physics. Also, you don't have to have a great understanding of science to understand gravity. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It is commonly accepted because it is universal. It is everywhere, affecting everything in relation to everything else, tempered by the inverse square of their distance apart. This argument is a fallacious syllogism. Science requires evidence. Proof requires evidence. Faith does not require evidence. Science has no proof, therefore it is based on faith. What you are forgetting is that Religious Faith is based on an unquestionable source. Science, on the other had, no only encourages questions, but demands them. I'm not really sure what you are trying to say here. What does the relative direction of "Down" have to do with the force of gravity? Gravity acts accoring to the size AND NEARNESS of bodies; as the equation is the inverse sqaure of the distance apart, even though the Sun is 330,330 times the size of the Earth, it is also an Astronomical Unit distant, therefore the force is a lot less (but it still exists, which is why the tides, for example, are affeted by the Sun's gravitational pull -- in addition to the Moon, of course, which is closer and therefore has a larger affect). Actually, Dark matter and Dark energy were predicted by Albert Einstein in his calculations following the publishiing of his theories of Relativity. And let's be clear here; the quantum adjustments to the basic laws are just finding a suitable constant to use in the proportion of the same Newtonian equation. It's not a new equation, by any means. We have the evidence that the universe is expanding at a rate that -- presently -- can only be explained by Dark Matter and Dark Energy. That's the beauty of relativity. Is the Earth orbiting the sun? Yes. Is the Sun moving around the Earth? Yes! The orbit of the Earth around the Sun was actually predicted by Aristotle, so it is hardly new. Eratosthenes even measured the size of the globe of the Earth about two and a half millennia ago. Don't forget that the Sun is orbiting around galactic central point, taking 200 billion years to make one revolution (because we are 50 thousand light years from the centre), and the galaxy itself is accelerating out from the Big Bang. The two methods are completely alien and not comparable. Deductive reasoning from observation to provide predictions that can be measured to whatever decimal place is totally different from John Smith announcing in the nineteenth century that he has found some gold tablets inscribed by God that explain how the (white) Europeans arrived in the North American continent a thousand years before Columbus, and thus is born the Church of Latter Day Saints. Oh, and by the way, polygamy is okay if you're a senior clergy. I am saying one is more valid than the other. One demands that we check and recheck and validate and cross-validate with every new theory and discovery; the other demands absolute obedience with no possible gainsay. History is replete with examples of which one best suits the frailties of humans and their leaders ... Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour, That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned, A sun that is the source of all our power. The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see Are moving at a million miles a day In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour, Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'. Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars. It's a hundred thousand light years side to side. It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick, But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide. We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point. We go 'round every two hundred million years, And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions In this amazing and expanding universe. The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding In all of the directions it can whizz As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know, Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is. So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure, How amazingly unlikely is your birth, And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space, 'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth.

Does that mean we have to log into the NwN Guild page?

You just focused the whole being of modern rpg-gaming into one post. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You mean everyone treats a social encounter as a possible division level engagement circa 1943? Wow. Groovy. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, I do.

Yes, but the "s" spelling is Norman. Anyway, I have to write "color" when programming, just as US programmers have to use correct grammar for inverted commas -- for once (i.e. putting end of sentence punctuation marks outside the inverted commas). I would only write sidewalk in direct speech, though. England and America are two countries separated by a common language. George Bernard Shaw

Thank you.

Yeah, I think we might be in danger of playing rules over enjoyment. Sure I don't like to play a game where I don't have to try, where any tactics will do, where I can walk into a new room without heed to the enemy and positions etc and just blindly attack any of them in any order ... Much better to get your bottom beaten by, for example, that fight in HotU against the Monk and his party (the one who used to be one of your party NPCs) ... then you learn tactics and who to attack first and what spells are good in what order and what are rubbish, etc. If I want to play a gimped character, I can. If I want to play a munchkin, I can. Randomised character ability scores is just a cheap tactic to try to balance the game: just have a better balanced game! "
