Everyone who had an account but hasn't been correctly identified should reveal themselves first. Otherwise the people who have been guessed will be at a disadvantage because we've seen the sort of alias they will make while we don't for the people who haven't been guessed. Also, Dikiyoba is really curious to find out who a couple of unidentified accounts really are.

Most of the cats don't really seem to fit the font, but Helvetica and Comic Sans are perfect. Dikiyoba now wonders if there are dinosaurs and fonts that belong together. Hmm. A project for another day, perhaps?

Oh, it's still going. Sign up and post away. Dikiyoba.

It looks like you forgot to subtract the last three guesses from Cairo Jim and Lilith. They should be at 4/3 and 1/3 respectively. Also, it would make sense to combine both of Trenton's accounts into one score. Dikiyoba.

If it happened on a forum, the contest would need to run for several days. That would free us from time zone constraints (although you might still be able to use the relative time of day that an account posts to figure out who the person behind it is). Also, if it happens, it can't happen here. Changing current accounts would leave far too much information behind, and even new accounts would be problematic because mods can see IPs relatively easily. Dikiyoba would participate if someone decides to set up a forum. It will be hard for Dikiyoba to post without this gimmick, but Dikiyoba shall do Dikiyoba's best.

The priest has Call the Storm. That's a reliable, fairly cheap, multi-target damager dealer that you can get early on and stays useful until you can replace it with Divine Fire. Dikiyoba found it really useful against the sliths and drakes you start running across once you hit The Honeycomb and exploring around Fort Dranlon.

My bet is that a larger and more varied population accesses the Internet now than five years ago, and that the average amount of time spent online has gone up. Dikiyoba.

Bah, forget God. Emperor Hawthorne has declared that you be banished to the underworld. It doesn't matter whether you call yourself an Exile person, an Avernum person, an Avernum: Subtitled person, or an Exilethernumforgedon person—you've been banished for life, so get back into your lichen-lit lizard-loaded pit! Dikiyoba.

No. Dikiyoba.

(I assume bycatch from ocean fisheries is just dumped overboard for the scavengers to have, but I don't have any actual knowledge on the subject.) Unfortunately, the cost of getting dolphins out of the bycatch is that now more sharks and sea turtles are part of the bycatch, which is not really an improvement. (Unless it was caught on a pole and line instead of a net, in which case you're good. Unless it's from a tuna stock that's being overharvested, in which case you aren't.) Dikiyoba.

Well, for starters, HTML off is the default. Second, HTML in posts is really easy to abuse and quickly becomes obnoxious. Whee! See what Dikiyoba means?

Yeah, but repeats of subjective discussion threads like favorite creations is okay once in a while, since the answers will probably change some. Dikiyoba hasn't played G2 in a very long time, but if in doubt, Dikiyoba's answer is always the cryoa.

Hey krissyfyre, would you make a full version of the cave floor graphics (the new G2200 and G2280) with all the partial tiles included? Without the partial tiles, the edges between the cave floor and other floor types isn't as smooth as it could be. Thanks. Dikiyoba.

Is your main warrior wearing a lot of heavy armor? There's a more-or-less hidden encumbrance feature that will give you an AP penality if you're wearing a lot of heavy equipment. In the original Avernum trilogy, there is a skill (usually defense) that increases the amount of heavy equipment you can wear, but Dikiyoba doesn't know whether there is one in Nethergate or not.

Ooh, pretty blue cave walls. Dikiyoba has downloaded the edited graphics and will put a few in during Dikiyoba's next playthrough.

MMXPERT, Trenton, would the two of you please stop making so many pointless, spammy posts? It confuses people who need help and is just generally annoying. Dikiyoba is leaving this thread unlocked in case txmimi still needs more help.

Dikiyoba has been bribed (*sigh*) to point out that life is currently imitating art.
