...yeah, I couldn't get this one to do much without breaking. French kept giving stray "c'"s, Russian kept giving untranslatable words in brackets, and Portugese... just does nothing helpful. -
I believe the idea is to not clean up the translations at all.

Original:
Quote:"Sanity is inversely relative. The more relatives you have, the less likely you are to be sane."English -> German
German -> English
English -> French
French -> Spanish
Spanish -> English
End:
Quote:"The reason is in the inverted father. More used, than it has to him, it is you, healthy probably stops to be less."...oddly, any further translations wound up with extraneous punctuation. But I suppose the clauses stopped making sense somewhere around here.

Hey, I'm with Niemand on this one. Hostile type 2 does get use, and it already does look suitably different.

No really, Lovelock is not what I would think of as credible. Yes, the Earth-as-organism model is intriguing, but only if you redefine organism to the point where any complex system qualifies. -

That's assuming we can find a suitably large deposit of suitable archaebacteria, because nothing else is really going to be able to cope with the current situation on Venus. Still, an interesting thought experiment. -
Yes, yes you should.

I wholeheartedly disagree, seeing as we've lived without it for 5+ years now. It is a matter that could stand to be tackled if it is feasible, preferably without hex-editing. -

...seriously, I've been anticipating people saying this, because it's just what happens after a volcanic eruption. Ash in atmosphere -> blocks incoming radiation -> short-term cooling trend -> everyone becomes a climatologist -> I die a little inside.
GAH. -
Oof Turtledove... couldn't make it through a single book (Guns of the South). Dense, dense prose.

Tales of the Dying Earth, Jack Vance.
Roughly half of the inspiration for the AIMhack games that have been going on. Crazed individuals, ancient and unpredictable magicks, and unfathomable creatures all set under Earth's waning sun.

I am pleased to see the image-posting game has begun. Well-played.

This raises important questions, the most obvious of which is what makes a god. Could I, or any other mortal, achieve that rank if we had a devout group of followers?" -
Hm... I think this has drifted enough. An interesting subject, no doubt, but we're done here.

Hey! Log of Blood Marsh 7 is now available!
Now, quotes!
Click to reveal.. (AAAAAAAAA*quotes*AAAAAAAAH)So yeah, that was awesome. Now, scheduling. The next Selos session will in fact be Friday April 23rd, 6pm CDT, because that's the time everyone can make. Please please please don't plan things over it now.
And Blood Marsh folks, you haven't been forgotten. Because that currently makes it a long while until the next session, let's see if maybe we can squeeze a second session in beforehand. To that end, SCHEDULE!

I'd argue that undead are still the most common. Goblins may be the universal Kill Me To Get To Level 2 monster, but undead are everywhere.

Or so he says.
...another interesting post, and I can't exactly disagree with him, after years of working with Blades. Which honestly is as much about reusing assets as anything else.
