I feel a little guilty not finishing the first one, now. :"> Still, it wasn't because the module wasn't well balanced, well written and well paced ... I was just at the end of my module-playing time, as it was starting to be not as much fun as it was to begin with. Hmmm ... maybe I should restart it ... or load my old save game (I had just ). Anyway, it was a brilliant mod. Well done. You may even succeed in enticing me to re-install NwN to play the sequel ...

Good to see the Aga Khan doing something with all that money he stole. Excerrent.

You should review it ("Be the first person to review this item.")! It's always interesting to see the microcosms of society echo the human opera; in fact it's almost necessary to experience them this way, lest we be swamped by too much information and miss a lot of what's going on.

My yoga teacher is my friend. :D

I just want a good dictionary. And I guess I should clear off my living room table and do some more latin practice, too, so that I can move onto reading the vulgate and maybe some Cicero, perhaps even Virgil's

Time for another look into the library habits of the forumites. Here is my reading list from the last month or so (I was finally overcome with annoyance at not reading a lot of the books I wanted to, and also I wanted to finish off some of the ones that I have been sitting on for a while; reading at night before bed is a poor time to do so: much better now I spend some time during the day dedicated to reading): Why I Am So Wise [Ecce Homo and Twilight of the Idols] (Friedrich Nietzsche) Imagining the Tenth Dimension (Rob Bryanton) On Liberty and The Subjection of Women (John Stuart Mill) The Symbolic Species: The Co-evolution of Language and the Human Brain (Terrence Deacon) The Spartans (Paul Cartledge) the Symposium (Plato reciting Socrates, et alia) The Social Contract (Jean-Jacques Rousseau) Of Man (Leviathan) (Thomas Hobbes) On the Nature of War (Carl von Clausewitz) The Glass Bead Game (Hermann Hesse) An Attack on an Enemy of Freedom (Cicero) Thomas Paine's The Rights of Man (Christopher Hitchens) On the Suffering of the World (Arthur Schopenhauer) Crime and Punishment (Fyodor Dostoevsky) Communist Manifesto (Marx and Engels) Common Sense (Thomas Paine) What If Our World Is Their Heaven? (Philip Kindred Dιck) What's everyone else been reading, I wonder.

Depends if there is an intensive study group ... "

I'm glad we ARE having the discussion, as it can get a little difficult to self-study latin when there are so many different "authorities" (considering that "classical" latin never actually existed, but is an abstract taken from an approximate period in the Roman civilization timeline, beyond which it had already started to mutate); nevertheless, I do apologise: you are correct, and it has been far too long since I sat down at my desk and did some latin homework (Bad meta): dative is the indirect possessive, true. (I still haven't been brave enough to start on Attic Greek, though I did read Paul Cartledge's The Spartans. :D ) Still, would dative be appropriate? Indirect possessive object ? Surely it's a direct object of the sentence?

I thought it was called religion ... "

Don't care much for his tailor.

No. It's actually speeding up (that's one of the reasons why they had to invent "dark energy".

Right, now you're speaking double dutch! Dative is the indirect object (or recipient); Genitive is the possessive, Ablative is for agents / instruments or sources expressed by "by", "with" or "from". So a "dative possessive" is just not making any sense to me, it's either-or. I was miffed by my dictionary, as I couldn't determine the correct form of "iaciam", let alone conjugate it properly (hence my lack of certainty about the "t"!). I might pick up a copy of Latin Grammar (Gildersleeve, B.L. and G. Lodge) or New Latin Grammar (Allen, Joseph Henry and J.B. Greenough) ... Edit: ooo, a new version!

Try finding anything about one of the smaller allies ... :confused: Speaking of WW2 stories from unusual perspectives, I might pick up the Iwo Jimo DVD from Woolworths (<

That's the burden we carry for a symbolic brain: we see patterns everywhere, even when they aren't there ...

Furicide?

Society in a petri dish ... make perfect sense that virtual communities echo real life frontier badlands ... at least until we invent an effective police force ...

Trees.

... Or both.

Where is this new plane, then? I thought the 666 layers of the Abyss was THE Chaotic Evil plane ...

Looking at the (necessary) complexity of the underlying mechanics, I would be loathe to actually DM a game, unless I had a computer with all the algorithms programmed for use at my fingertips ...

One day you might actually BE a boss (scary thought), then you will see the flaw in your logic. Until then, there isn't much I can say that will grant you the paradigm shift you require to understand how wrong you really are.

Fortunately sewerage has a large constituent of methane, which is highly flammable.

Volo, we're talking about a job IN CUSTOMER SERVICE; the job description is to HELP THE CUSTOMER. In a very real sense, if there is no customer, then there is no job for the rep.
