Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 It's kind of funny. It's just not relevant. Anyway, Dikiyoba believes that we really should have seen iPods coming, given that pods already existed in the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 "Dikiyoba the Dikiyora" is totally natural and perfect, but I'm trying to think of what "Dikiyoar" reminds me of.

Kyshakk Koan Alberich Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Well, there's always "boar," and there's an old word for "frost" that I will not utter here, but it's true, neither of them should be used on Dikiyoba. (I like Dikiyoba the way Dikiyoba is.) ("Dikiyoar" sounds like a nonsense syllable in a folksong..."Them rats ain't good for fertilizer/Feed 'em to the fish/'Cause they fought too long with our Stewboy/An' deeeeeelicious Vlish...Dikiyo, dikiyo, dikiyo, dikiyo, dikiyoooooooooar....")

Easygoing Eyebeast Zeviz Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Quote: Originally written by Kelandon:"Dikiyoba the Dikiyora" is totally natural and perfect, but I'm trying to think of what "Dikiyoar" reminds me of. ... Zyoar, an undiscovered 3rd level Fyoroid creation. (Fyora -> Cryoa -> Zyoar: The letter r moves two positions forward, wrapping around, while the first letter moves three positions back in the alphabet, also wrapping around.) So Dikiyoar is similar to Dikiyora, but based on Zyoar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora Teryngale Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I don't do many interesting things. Mostly I just go on homicidal rampages. In G2, I kind of destroyed the entirety of the Rising. That was fun, some of those creatures were heavy on the Xp side. In G3 I wanted to go Rebel. So I just started destroying everything as I went along. I tried going back to the School, and I was immediately attacked and killed. After a few levels and positioning my creatures ahead of me, I finally got through the entrance. I continued on, maiming and destroying as I liked, until I got to the Servant Mind. I did take the creature out, but as it died, it started bringing up messages about a data error or something. I accidently deleted the file the next day.

Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I think it took about two or three minutes. There are two simple, non-interacting operations per iteration, and there are sets of 5 and 8 possibilities which factor neatly into 40. Clearly this doesn't add anything to the emaciated list of practical applications of studying phonology. But I can permutate characters like a madman.

Ineffable Wingbolt Aequitas Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Question for Diki: How did you get the player picture on the side to change like that? Whenever I change my player graphic template to servile, etc. I always get stuck with the right walk graphics and still graphics, but never the right player graphics on the side inventory.

Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 It's a separate graphic, so I removed it and created a replacement for it. Thank you for removing the worm reference/link, upon mars. I can understand what you are saying now. Anyway, the answer is no, unless the Shaper happens to be named Dikiyoba.

Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 That settles it.

Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Quote: Originally written by Alberich:"Oyroa in a Featherboa" -- Alorael's next nickname or Andraste's next art project? Sounds more like something that Alorael would pick up on. Anyway, as far as random stunts go, I tend to slaughter one town per game. It usually occurs when their leader says something incredibly immoral, like sending me to kill the leader of the Awakened in G1. After smiting him I have to fight the whole town. I did this in the Taker's city in G1, but managed to take out the leader of the Obeyers without getting caught. In G2, I fought all of the Obeyers, but managed to take out the top Takers without getting caught. A similar eventuality in G3 with the Loyalist/Obeyers. In G4... nothing quite as major. I didn't really listen to the Shapers at all, and as such didn't end up killing off whole towns. I did, however, manage to kill of both of the Wingbolts in the Shaper keep, and gather the items the were gaurding, my first time in the keep.

Easygoing Eyebeast The Mystic Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 If it can be done, kudos for you; if not, oh well. You could have them wearing an earpiece (for species that have ears) and holding the phone. I just thought that since you've got almost everyone running around with an ipod, why not have someone with a cellphone? Or a blackberry? PDA? Portable TV? The anachronistic possibilities are endless. And for additional fun, you could borrow from the Star Trek universe and give your Shaper or Agent a tricorder. Then maybe stop by the Star Wars universe to get a lightsaber for your Guardian. (Why not? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 There's a reason why most pros use Photoshop... I find it to be the best program I've come into contact with.
