East Germany proclaimed themselves the Democratic Republic of Germany, even though their "democracy" was a rigged process which denied its citizens any real control of the government. Anyway, is China a communist nation, or a socialist nation? Often times the two terms are used interchangeably, but I believe they have distinct meanings. Yes, thank you. In case you completely missed the point I was being, what's the english word for this? Not sarcastic, I want to say pedantic maybe.

A dagger is bigger than a bowie knife, at least two hands long in order to have any real effect in combat. Originally Posted By: AethirWeb How about this challenge, the Attack of the Stick build.

With 30 total spread around melee, strength and blademaster (really easy to come by what with bless, item bonuses, ec.), you will consistently deal more damage than you would with the puresteel soulblade or whatever it's called. You can deal almost as much damage with a stick as with a halberd though with a good shield, your defence will be much better.

Wow, talk about necromancy. I had forgotten about this run and I'm pretty sure that's a good thing. Don't expect an answer, by the way. This topic is from 5 years ago (before I got drafted - wow, was it so long ago?), so chances are whoever wrote that isn't here anymore.

I could kiss you. I can't host them, but if you can send me a link, I'll download them so the next time this happens I can hopefully (lacking any total system failure) send them out to all interested parties.

Pachtar's Plate? In the demo? No. Just no.

I've got to say that I'm kinda dissapointed that so far I'm the only one to have voted for blades. Seriously, by themselves most of the 24 hour and 1/10 scenarios by themselves were better than A4. And the great part is that it's a neverending adventure. You can literally play blades for weeks and never worry because in no time at all there will be more scenarios to play.

No.

Anyone know why? I've done a few tests on this back when G1 came out and it's been the same in all subsequent gf and av games. My hypothesis is that your turn order (which is affected by luck as well as dexterity) is too high and wrapping over to a negative, which means that either your turn is skipped endlessly or the game crashes.

No.

They have a lightning-bolt icon in the corner. Click on this icon to use it.

In a6 bf is useless. There are other ways to gain the effect that it gives. And as far as I remember there is no boost to damage.

I'm really going to have to start remembering this stuff better. Ash I think I knew. Wasn't he the one that JV permabanned for quoting him in a way that made it seem like he didn't want people to buy A4? And who says that I can't get into banfights over you all being white devils?

Well this is all news to me. Best of luck to Marlenny and Creator. I don't know if they still even frequent these forums. Creator I don't think I know aside from his scenarios; before my time. Lilith, I'm surprised you had the courage to come out with that (on teh internets no less). I suppose she it is from now on. If I may, I hope you manage to cope with your family. I think I know something of religious fundies (as I am one, that's not too hard), and I know how news that's not to their liking is treated with scorn if not outright rejection. But my family have had several years to deal with my aunt's transgender issues, and we've gotten over it.

Well?! Is anyone planning on filling me in?

His website mentioned that he's a guy. And turned 35 in 08 if that's of interest to anybody.

Huh. I wonder what Marlenny's take on all this is. EDIT: Or was it Kel she was dating? And didn't she break up with whoever it was? Just goes to show how long I haven't been here.

Huh, I had the same problem back when I give it my second go years ago. After a couple of TM scenarios I simply had to play a decent scenario again just to make sure it wasn't really me spouting all the psychobabble nonsense. (God, how I hate you, TM.) Anyway, back to the point, I hit this bug that hadn't occurred on the first playthrough. So I restarted it, just to make sure. Hit it again and gave up. Couldn't figure out for the life of me what caused it; I had played through once sans bugs. I was using Win XP for all runs. Can't tell you just how frustrated I was that I was stuck with all that post-post-postmodernist [censored] (or whatever TM's philosophy was at the time,) still stuck in my head. Oh well, I played Bahss over again with a seriously overpowered party.
