    What they call it is meaningless. 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 dirk, from what I understand is pretty much something in between a gladius and a stiletto. A dagger is bigger than a bowie knife, at least two hands long in order to have any real effect in combat.

    A4 does the stick tank very well. 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.

    One time a member changed his PDN to Alorael using Hebrew characters. So it wasn't a complete impersonation.

    Really? Who/when was this. Anyway, off to change my PDN...
    EDIT: it wont let me.
  4. 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.

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.

    Having fun playing with yourself, you dirty sinner? You'll suffer for eternity in hell for that! tongue

    Fun fact: In Judaism, gentiles don't have to worry about hell as long as they don't break any of the seven noahite laws. In that case, the longest possible sentence is 9 months. In the end, everyone makes it to heaven.
  7. 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.

    So all this time Thuryl's really been a girl. 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.
  9. 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.
