As of the release of G5, anyway -- those CDs obviously were not made when G1 came out.

who are you, thuryl? in all seriousness, I have to support the quality of life > quantity of life meme

Uh oh. You aren't a White Sox fan, are you? Then I might have to grudgingly like you, or something.

The goal of the clones is not to stall -- their goal is simply to defeat their opponent. Good question!

I think this has to do with installing the saved game folders. I'm not sure if you can get around that easily. I've run into a similar problem with almost any installer on work computers where I don't have admin access. The best solution is to just borrow admin access. If you can't do that, I imagine that means the computer owner doesn't want you installing games on it in the first place.

Wow, I really pulled this off topic. I'm going to try and do the judging sometime soon, so this is a last call for any further comments. Further comments would actually be appreciated, as I find it very hard to decide this one based on a broad glance at it.

Uh, you do realize that it's possible to side with the Darkside Loyalists, and kill the general instead of Dorikas?

This is mainly because mods tend to stick around and post actively. Interestingly, most of the current mods became mods at well under 2500 posts (and usually under 1500). This applies to *i, Alorael, Kelandon, Khoth, myself, Randomizer, Toby-Linn, Niemand, and Celtic Minstrel. Ephesos and SoT were around 3000, IIRC. The major exceptions are just Aran and Dikiyoba.

Wikipedia states: "Prior to the experiment, Spurlock ate a varied diet but always had vegan evening meals to appease his then-girlfriend (now wife), Alexandra, a vegan chef." That certainly doesn't sound like he never ate meat or dairy, just that he avoided them for one meal a day. I'm not entirely disagreeing with your criticism, but let's not exaggerate things here.

Today I began unpacking on the order of 800 CDs that I had stored in various basements for the last four years. A wonderful feeling to regain so much lost music, the stuff that I had never ripped. Oh The Noise Made by People and In Sides with the UK edition bonus CD and It's Oh So Quiet single, how I've missed you.

Well, depending on how strictly one defines yearning. If you exclude all the farcical, non-serious "yearnings" as well as the impersonal comments about Dolphin's (or whoever's) picture being hot, there isn't too much left, and most of what's left is not connected. To my knowledge, anyway.

Yes, congrats!

It is tempted to include phone calls (and videoconferencing) as well, but then the chart gets a lot more cluttered without including too many more people.

If phone calls counted it would be a chart of Marlenny, really.

Check the link for a substantially revised and updated version which now sports 30 members at as many as 8 links away from each other.

Re Zeviz and Wiz, I was told that they met. You may know better, so if you're fairly sure and/or want to check with either of them, I'll delink them. Alec and Djur might need to be blue, but they definitely met pre-Spidweb. The green/blue distinction is that for green, the link itself is what led (directly or indirectly) to one party joining SW, so the link is a given and not a surprise. For blue, the link is totally independent of either party joining SW, resulting in a "wait... is that ___?" moment. I'll guess your link should be green, but let me know if it should in fact be blue. Also, I believe Tyranicus has 7 as well.

Yes, I had to limit it to people connected to this web. There are a few tiny groups besides it and probably more that aren't publicized -- for example ADoS and company.

Green and blue lines indicate that the meeting predates SW. Green lines indicate the meeting continued and generally means one person on SW led to the other one being there. Blue indicates it was totally independent of SW. I may have coloured a few lines green that ought to be blue, not sure. Red indicates marriage. I've chosen not to indicate less officiated love relationships as a matter of rare good taste on my part. Oh, the colors of boxes are just some obvious groupings, Aussies, SFers, and Tyran's meetup.

As promised, here's my waste of time for the evening: Many Meetings There are now 27 members hooked in to this behemoth at as many as 7 links apart from each other.

No, it isn't. Avernum has better sales figures than Geneforge does, overall. Obviously, both series have individual games that were more and less popular.

Just in case some people here haven't heard this, Jeff has been quite clear that there will never be Blades of Geneforge, or any other scenario-creation kits, from SW.

I'm assuming you didn't mean to use it offensively, but let's end it please. This topic is close enough to setting somebody off as it is, just with the comments about Catholicism. If ethnic slurs keep popping up here, expect the topic to get locked quickly.

JP2 was pretty benevolent, I'd say.

Did anyone ever test if you can complete most of the game, get past the areas that Gladwell-alignment forces you to make hostile, and *then* join Gladwell for the stat bonuses?
