    You must not have studied alot of mathematics then smile
  2. I should've perhaps pointed out that my definition of threeve was a number that is equally distant from 3 and 5, but that is not 4.

     

    The point being that an infinite set need not contain everything. But I think we're getting off topic.

     

    ...

     

    I'm not sure including 'X' would be worthwhile; maybe it's time we move on from Exile/Avernum.

    The real numbers are uncountably infinite. That doesn't mean that threeve exists.

    Oh, Brock, you stole Nalyd's avatar idea while he was away. tongue


    My favorite part is when Dooku realizes what would have happened if Yoda turned to the dark side of the force...
  5. I believe it will be fine to keep this in the topic. It would be helpful for others who have an XO.

     

    The issues I was having with Exile II, was that I was originally trying to run wine on the installer. This didn't seem to do anything. Instead, I copied the full version from my laptop to the XO. The program now runs correctly when I run it through wine; however, there are still a few graphic oddities. I should also note that you need to run the program as root if you want to be able to save your game.

     

    Dealing with Avernum 5, I believe it is a graphical issue relating to the XO. You cannot use rdesktop to play Avernum 5 either, as the resolution change is not supported. XP might solve it, but I have my doubts as the resolution will still probably be an issue.

  6. Despite not receiving my XO for several months, it has finally arrived. In fact I am using it to post right now. It's much nicer than I expected it to be. Unfortunately my experience with linux is fairly minimal.

     

    I've installed wine on the machine and downloaded the .exe intaller. However, when I execute wine on it nothing seems to happen. Should I copy the already installed program from my other computer and run wine on the actual game file?

     

    Also, anyone else with an XO?

     

    EDIT: I've solved my problem with Exile II, and now I'm able to play it on the XO. Although now I'm having trouble getting the Linux version of Exile III to run. It installs correctely but when I go to the directory and run ./exile3 it doesn't do anything...

  7. I did that(except it was with an archer, the other two characters were a mage and mage/priest), but the vahnatai seemed to take incredibly low damage from all of my magical attacks. Eventually I just gave up on that and just cast spray acid every round and had my archer shoot them down one by one...

    In most case, creating a new profile will not help those who have been banned.

    As for Servile's quote, 'too many' does quantify an amount of people. You are specifically stating that you think that amount doesn't care. So in this aspect Synergy is correct.
